EVERY SECTS REPORTS era Sweeping state Report of President Stamps, of Fulton Joe B.’own Club, Destroys Last Hope bf the Supporters of Ex-Governor Smith, and Re-election of “Little Joe” by Greatly Increased Majori ties is Generally Conceded. * k GOVERNOR JOBEPH M. BROWN. Atlanta, Aug. 18 —(Special)— ‘ Based upon a careful consideration of re ports and letters, many of which are confidential, I am absolutely certain that Governor Brown will carry 126 counties August 23, and has a fine chance of carrying four more.” Such was the statement made by Chairman Ed Maddox at Brown head quarters this morning. While the opposition has recently been devoting time to the making of extravagant claims —Just as they did two years ago—the supporters of Gov ernor Brown have been hard at work, quietly securing a true and correct record of existing conditions. Fulton Certain tof Brown, President W. O. Stamps, gf the ful urn Cuaaly Joe Brown tlaD, iUttfl Saturday night that 7,GGI registered voters were members of that organ ization and more were being added dally. This number represents regis tered voters only. It does not include the many supporters of Governor Brown who, for business or other reasons, prefer not to sign member ship cards. This year, the Fulton County Joe Brown Club, ten days before the pri mary, shows a larger membership of registered voters than the day before the primary in 1908. When the much smaller registration this year is taken into account, it will be seen that Gov ernor Brown is much stronger in Ful ton County than in 1908 and that his carrying the county is now an at"so lute certainty. In spite of the almost super-human efforts of the opposition to stem the Brown tidal wave throughout the state, and especially In Fulton, report continue to pour into the Brown head quarters proving that conditions are “Browner” than ever and dally grow in?; better. With the indisputable evidence fur nished by President Stnmps, of the Fulton County Joe Brown Club, most of the supporters of ex-Governor Smith concede this county to Gov ernor Brown. Many of the oppusi ticvT’alfio concede that ex-Oovernor Smith will never be able to carry more than half of the counties he carried in 1908, in view of the present state of public opinion throughout Georgia. Every report shows that Governor Brown is today far stronger in the 81 counties he carried in 1908 and that largely increased majorities are cer tain in 1910. Of the six counties hrving six votes in the convention, Governor Brown is sure of five and has a splendid chance of carrying all six. “As to the extravagant claims oi the Smith supporters,” continued Chairman Maddox, “I can only point to the certain landslide which they claimed right up to the hour the polls closed in 1908. These claims were published in ex-Governor Smith’s offi cial mouthpiece, the Atlanta Journal, and were even far more extravagant than those set forth at this time. It is the universal method they have al ways adopted for bolstering up and encouraging their followers. Gov. Brown Sticks to Official Duties. At Brown headquarters, it was stated that this position of the gov ernor in absolutely refusing to neg lect his duties at the state capitol to further his own interests, was the subject of universal admiration. Many letters, too, from former Smith sup porters stated that Governor Brown would this time receive their vote for this reason alone, as they keenly a predated the contrast in his attitu and that of his predecessor. "All that is now needed," said Cha i man Maddox, “is for every Brow j supporter to cast his own vote ear ami we will '•arry at least 12G countl Governor Joseph M. Brown.” 0. B. STEVENS DENIES ANY 6UANO CAMPAIGN FUND Hon. O. B. Htevens, candidate for re election to the state railroad commis sion, said Saturday morning: “1 notice from The Georgian of Au gust <1 that G. N. Bagwell, of Winder, Ga., made an affidavit in which he said ‘that about the year 1902’ he was in the employment of a guano manufacturer F*lcnic Lunches.

Phone 60 Phone 60 Phone 60 Phone 60 who at said time was selling his goods in different sections of Georgia and that on a certain day during said employ ment the vice president and general manager of said company wrote 'out a check for #SOO, payable to the sales a gent in Georgia tor said company, and that the said vice president and genei al manager had a letter written in which said check was inclosed, directing said sales agent to turn over the amount represented in said check to the presi dent of another guano manufacturer in Georgia, same being in payment of the assessment of the company, for which Bagwell was at work at said time, for a campaign fund that was raised for n S by certain manufacturers then doing business in Georgia. “I made two races before the people of Georgia prior to this one, aujd say most emphatically that no guano man ufacturer, nor any of the officers or em ployees connected with the manufact urers, nor anybody interested in the guano business in Georgia has ever contributed a single cent to anyicam paign fund in my behalf. Tins, was true in 1898, when I made my first race lor commissioner of agriculture, qnd is true now. I desire to repeat that not a single dollar lias ever been contriouted by anybody interested in the guano business in Georgia or out of Georgia to my campaign fund, nor has anybody connected with any trust or corpora tion made any contribution to a cam paign fund for me in this or any other race I have ever made before the people of Georgia. “I would not notice the affidavit of Bagwell, as it is not worthy of consid eration, except for the fact that 1 un derstand he and J. A. Berry, who is running against me, have made threats that if this was denied they had simi lar affidavits which they would pro duce. “In 1902 my campaign was managed entirely by M. J. Yeomans, of Dawson, Ga., .who had entire charge of every dollar used in that campaign, and tie is acquainted with all the facts.” When seen try a reporter of The Georgian Mr. M. J. Yeomans said that on last Thursday he went to Winder and saw Mr. G. N. Bagwell in the presence of Colonel W. H. tpiartermun and Mr. H. N. Rainey, Jr., both of whom were friends or Mr. Bagwell. Among other things Mr. Bagwell sta ted that tire affidavit was written try J. A. Perry and signed by him at the re quest of Mr.'lVrry. Mr. Bagwell uiKui being asked by IVir. Yeomans, reiused to give the name of the guano concern for which he was working in 1902, re fused to give the name of the vice pres ident and general manager, and would not tell who the sales agent was in Georgia, nor would he give the name of the president of the otherguano con cern in Georgia to whom the money in question was to be paid. Mr. Yeomans further said: “I had entire charge of Mr. Htevans’ campaign in 1902 and know absolutely that no guano concern nor any officer, agent or employee of or any guano concern do ing business in Georgia or outside of Georgia contributed a single dollar to the campain fund of O. 15. Htevens. The campaign that year was very short. My recollection is it extended from about April 1 to June 9. I know where every dollar went. The total expenses of the campaign in 1902 were less than $2,800.00. This money was spent for office'rent, postage, clerk 1 1 ire, stenog raphers, printing, traveling expenses and advertising, and not a penny of this money was contributed by anyone interested in the guano business in Georgia or elsewhere.” FARM FOR RENT NINK-HORBE farm o 1-2 miles south of Conyers, Rockdale Cos. in liest cotton section county, 100 acresin pasture well fenced, outhouses and tenant houses, I big house for overseer.
