HERALD'S POLITICAL SYMPOSIUM
CALLS FOR SOME AMENDMENTS
News Stories from Cor.espondents Published

ticians Who Send in Telegrams
Today.
The Herald public! ed a week ago last S it unlay a sort of political
symposium o' the Se.ond Congressional district, using its regular cor
respondent) in the vi rlous counties as far as practicable. The purpn.c
of The H iruld was merely to give the political news from its territory
and our corrcspoi dents were cautioned to be as accurate and non
partisan as possibly. These instructions were consistently followed 1 j
our correspondents, as far as we know, but their Impartial reports, ns
might have been expected, fuiled to satisfy the partisans in the Con
gressional race, and we are today in receipt of telegrams either cor
recting or amending these reports, which we arc publishing below ovc
the signatures of the parties sending them. The telegrams speaks foi
themselves and not for those whose names are signed to them.

Judge Cox Will Get 200
Votes in Worth County
Spi'clnl to The Herald.
Sylvester, Gn., Sept. 4.—While
the statement from Worth county
which was carried in The Herald
some days ago, in connection with
the nominations that will be made
September 12, said that Worth
would stand loyally by Congress
man Park, we do not believe that
it covered the situation ns it should
have done.
While there are many districts in
Judgi
present at
Cox’s Lucile barbecue.
As perhaps you are nlrendj
aware, your Blakely correspondent
sees things through colored glnes-s
—and In consequence thereof u oh
hills seem as .mountains to bin
sometimes. I have therefore trier
to investigate conditions in Enrh
Cbunty in regard to the Congres
sional race, and have not confined
these investigations to one singk
camp. The general opinion of Hit
best political “prognosticators^ ii
this county indicate that Park wil
carry Early by at least 300 voles
the county that will go solidly, for some estimating his majority a.
- high as 500.
1 have also gone into the Lucih
Judge Park, ns they have always
done, there are some sections where
Judge Cox will get some votes. In
the first race, against Messrs. .Cov
ington and Luke, (hey received less
than 100 votes in the entire county
whereas, it- may be conservatively
estimated that Judge Cox will get
about 200 votes out of the 2,COO
that will be polled September 12.
This revised estimate is being
sent in, lest the former statement
give the impression that Judge Cox
would get no votes in the county
the aitn aim of this report being to
give as news the caudition as near
ly ns can be estimated.

Colquitt County For
Park by Good Vote
Moultrie, Ga., Sept.' 4. — We
noticed an article a few days ago
in the Herald that Judge Cox
would carry Colquitt county by
several hundred votes. Wo have
heard from every precinct in the
county, and it looks like now that
Congressman Park will carry Col
quitt county by 200 to 300 votes,
and is without a doubt growing
stronger every day.
