J. R. Smith, Governor Brown's cam
paign manager, still smiling, debonair
and unruffled, concedes the defeat of
his candidate in the following grace
ful words:
"Of course, we concede the election
to Governor Smith, and you may say
have professed, we cannot be too con

just what we meant. We should now,
without any effort to tantalize or mor

are really those in which they believe
and that they were not with us be

"The election will not bring its
proper result to the people of Geor

fill the governor’s office for two years.
“We should seek to convince the
for me that I am greatly pleased
with the clean manner in which the
opposition conducted the campaign.
“While, of course, Governor Brown
is not re-elected, I feel all right about

thanks to the friends of Governor
Brown, who stood so loyally by him.

this way we will prevent the possibil

from now and will insure the elec

years hence in accord with the poli

so overwhelmingly a majority of the
voters of the state that reactionary
candidates will be entirely unable to
produce another contest like that
through which we have just passed.”

SPEER HAS WON
FOR TREASURER.
One of the remarkable surprises of
the state campaign is the defeat of
Peyton M. Hawes of Elbert by W. J.
Speer of Fulton for state treasurer
by a majority of 19,000 or more.
The surprise is occasioned by the
fact that the early returns,which were
mostly pure estimates, seemed to give
Sir. Hawes a handsome majority, esti
mated at about 8,000.
But when the official returns came
in, Mr. Speer had a 19,000 majority.
