The Fort Valley Leader VOL. XIX. JOSEPH M. BROWN SWEEPS THE STATE Hoke Smith Defeated By at Least 25,880 Majority. Georgia’s Demagogue Politically Dead Forever. As we have predicted for sev eral weeks past, Hon. Joseph M. Brown was nominated yesterday by an enormous majority. Hoke Smith went down in defeat be¬ fore the man he has abused and criticised. From present indi¬ cations Brown has carried 80 or 90 counties and the State by a larger majority than Smith re¬ ceived two years ago. It is im Tpossible to get the exact returns before going to press, but the most conservative estimates give Brown 25,000 majority. Houston Does For Brown The following are the total votes east in Houston; For Governor; Joseph M. Brown 589 Hoke Smith 540 For Senator; H. A, Mathews 68] J. V. Hobbs 446 For Congress; D. M. Hughes 768 E. B. Lewis 360 For Solicitor; Wm Brunson 504 W. J. Grace 621 Indications point that Hughes will be nominated for Congress by a small majority. H. A. Mathews was nominated to the State Senate by 18 major¬ ity, according to late reports It is not known who is nomi nated for Solicitor, Brunson carried Crawford and Grace carried Houston.
