Majorities in Park’s Counties About 1000
The Cox Campaign Committee, composed of reliable
a%d conservative citizens of all the counties of the dist
rict, has made a careful study of every county in the
district as to the congressional race, and using as a guide
the most careful and conservative information obtainable,
as its opinion that Judge E. E. Cox will be nominated for Congress September 1 2th,
by a majority of approximinately 2000.
able and well known citizens have affixed their signature to the esti-
from their respective counties and these arefgiven below in detail:
Colquitt For Cox by 600 Mjaority
Moultrie, Ga., Sept, litli—Colquitt county has about 3800
qualified voters. Under favorable conditions there will be polled about
2500 votes and Judge Cox will get a majority of at least 000. The un
dersigned predicted a majority like (he above for two candidates in
primary of 1914, and the prediction proved correct. The- conditions
are not so favorable for the candidates as they are now for Judge Cox.

200 Majority for Cox in Tift
Tifton, Ga., Sept., Gth— It is very amusing to note a message pub
lished in the Albany Herald together with others from over the district
that Conraessman Park will carry Tift. Our honest opinion is that
Judge Cox will carry Tift county by at least 200 majority. We believe
that election tiny will prove this to be true.

1400 Majority for Cox
Camilla, Ga., Sept. Gth—To the people- of the second district:
We have in Mitchell county 3168 registered voters. We have had no
county primary, and therefore all county officers will be nominated on
t .e 12th of September. In view of the fact that every county officer
lus opposition, this county will poll the largest vote in its history.
To be conservative, wo wilbpoll 2600. In our opinion it will not be
possible for Congressman Park to get more than 500 or 600 votes. Any
p.'rson giving information other than for political purposes will verify ,
this estimate. We have studied conditions carefully and want to as-
s ire tho people of the district that Mitchell county on the 12th of
September will take care of her favorite sen by an ovci whelming
majority. ‘

Early for Cox by 100 Majority
Blakely, Ga., Sept. 0th.—Though Early is the home county of the
present congressman’s brother and would naturally be expected to go
for Park, good political judges put Early in the dot b'ful column with
the doubt in favor of Judge Cox. It is confidently claimed by con
servative Cox supporters that lie will carry the county by 100 or more
majority. Blakelv will give Cox a good majority.

W. J. Grist, I/. M. Rambo, C. C. Boyett.
Thomas For Cox by 500 Majority
Thonmsville, Ga., Sept. 0.—Thomas county will give Judge Cox a
majority of 500. This estimate is conservative. The party who
furnished the Albany Herald with statement that Judge Park would
carry Thomas lies always missed his prophesies in the past by several
hundred, and will do so again:

Decatur in Doubt
Bainbridgc, Ga., Sept'. 6.—At the opening of die Campaign it was
thought that Congressman Park would carry the county by an over
whelming majority but Judge Cox’s campaign in this county has been
one of the most systematic ever waged here and the strength of the
gressman has been greatly cut into. The county is now close, fighting
ground so to speak with cither one likely to carry it. Impartial ob
servers are constrained to the opinion that the result will be very close
with the majority for either not excessive.
R. G. Hartsfield C. S. Hodges.
Baker for Cox by Small Majority
Newton, Ga., Sept. 6.—From the best information obtained from
the most conservative and nuthoritive sources, it seems that Baker
county will go for Judge Cox by a small majority. Cox sentiment is
growing fast in this county and I am sure that by election clay the
majority will be larger than now appears.
1 have been carefully gathering information from impartial sources
from all over the district, and I adhere to my original estimate of 1200
majority for Cox in the whole district.
BENTON ODUM.
Small Majority for Winner in Miller
Colquitt, Ga., Sept. 6.—Miller county will be close. If Park car
ries .the county, will not be by larger majority than one hundred. Cox
supporters do not concede Miller to Park. Cox is making splendid
gains. If sentiment continues to change, Cox will carry County.
Billie B. Bush J. E. Tabb J. E. Lane
J. S. Willsin E. S. Rodney
350 Majority for Cox in Doughtery
Albany, Ga..Sept. 6.—Doughtery county will give Judge tox a
majority of 300 to 350. This is the opinion of the most conservative
political observers of the county as well as of the undersigned.
H. A. Peacock Henry Tarver.
Park Will Get 60 per cent, of Worth
Sylvester, C.a., Sept. 6.—Judge Park will carry about 60% of
Worth county vote Cox about 40%. The size of the vote depends up
on whether or not weather is favorable for farm work. Prospects are
for a moderate percentage of the vote to be east.
