Thomas W. Hardwick was
Tuesday nominated short-term
senator on the fourteenth ballot,
after the most picturesque con
vention that has been held in the
state of Georgia in the past
twenty-five years.
The vote stood: Hardwick 235,
Slaton 133, Hutchens 4,
Mr. Hardwick’s nomination
was the direct result of Thomas
S. Felder's withdrawal fiom the
race and practical instructions on
his part that his votes go to Mr.
Hardwick.
The convention was called to
order Tuesday at 12 o’clock. It
had adjourned at 7:15 in the
morning, and few of the delegates
had had any sleep, as following
the adjournment calls for the
supporters of the three leading
candidates to meet in immediate
caucus had been made. These
caucusses were held up to the
hour of convention Wednesday.
The delegates were thoroughly
worn out and their voices were
hoarse as a result of the wild
disorder of the night previous.
No sooner had the convention
