have undertaken no active work for
their candidate, leading frieqffs of
Governor Joseph M. Brown in Atlan
ta have been astonished by the large
number of .sanguine voluntary re
sponses to his .announcement for the
pending gubernatorial contest that
have come in.
They called specific attention to a
few notable ones Saturday.
From Houston county, which ad
joins the county of one of the other
candidates, one writes:
“Houston county is stronger than
ever before for Joe Brown. He will
carry it by a handsome majority."
One of the most assuring came from

will be organized here, simply for the

ernor Brown, and there will bo but
little opposition to him."
Friends writing from Walton, the
present “home county" of Judge Rus
sell, say Governor Brown is the
strongest of the candidates diwn
/there..
