TRY OVERWHELMINGLY.
AUGUSTA, Ga., Fe\ 26—The
chances of William G. McAdoo to se
cure the Georgia delegation grow
stronger every day. The large num¬
ber of McAdoo clubs over the State
have increased rapidly, especially
during the past week after his host of
ardent supporters so enthusiastically
endorsed his candidacy, and droves
of citizens hourly seek to be counted
among his friends.
From Augusta, Thomas J. Hamil¬
ton, editor of The Augusta Chronicle
and chairman of the Georgia McAdoo
committee, who headed the Georgia
delegation at the Chicago convention
on February 18th and assured those
in attendance in a brilliant speech
that Georgia, the State of Mr. Mc
Adoo’s nativity, was a .solid unit be¬
hind his candidacy, has issued the
following statement:
‘*The State of Georgia, never
latent in its belief in the superiority
of its native son as the one democratic
candidate for the presidency of the
United States who is certain of elec¬
tion to that high office, has come out
stronger than ever in its demand
that the delegation from Georgia be
gent to the national democratic con¬
vention in New York with instructions
to stand one hundred per cent behind
the candidacy of William G. McAdoo.
McAdoo clubs in the State, num¬
bering over one hundred and with
membership of over 50,000 men and
women, are strengthening themselves,
and numbers of others are springing
up in all sections of the State. Reports
