OPEN WAR;

Perkins Issues Orders, and E.
L. Cooney, N. Y. Life Man,
Will Play Big Part.
XA jth prominent Georgia businessmen
it the head of its executive organiza
tion, and with the promises of a coffer
full of cash to be distributed for cam
paign purposes, the Bull Moose party of
Georgia is planning to open in a few
days a fight to sweep the state for
Roosevelt.
There will be no effort by the Pro
gressives to put out a state ticket. This
has been definitely decided on.
"We considered it utterly unwise to
make any such attempt,” said National
Committeeman McClure today. "All
our energies will be devoted to putting
Georgia's electoral vote In the Roose
velt i "lumn. It may be that tn one or
two districts we will have candidates
for congress, but this still is under ad
visement."
Perkins Sends
Orders Direct.
The word for the sort of a campaign
and the sort of leaders was sent by
none other than George W. Perkins, and
• there was immediate peace, tranquility
and harmony in the Bull Moose ranks
of Georgia.
The word was that Bull Moose cam
paign funds would not be available for
use in this state if the same methods
of squabbling for patronage and pie
that always distinguished the Republi
can party in the South were employed
by the Progr lives here.
The worf /as sent straight. It was
delivered I / E. L. Cooney, of Atlanta,
general manager for Georgia, of the
New York Life Insurance Company, of
which company Mr. Perkins was for
merly chairman of the board of di
rectors. and in which he is still largely
interested.
It was spoken at a quiet little social
gathering of the Progressive chieftains
held at the home of Roger A. Dewar,
wherb the chieftains discussed the po
litical situation and an excellent re
past.
Mr. Cooney, who had hitherto not
figured in the limelight in the Moose
movement, is a personal friend and a
business associate of long standing of
Mr. Perkins. When he spoke, the chief
tains knew that he spoke with au
thority.
After the repast, he told the gather
ing that Mr. Perkins had said that he
had no intention of putting money in
the Georgia campaign, unless he knew
that money was being used legitimate
ly by a person in whose business abil
ity and political acumen he had the
utmost confidence. In short, his inten
tion was that the Bull Moose should not
be preyed upon by political harpies that
Invariably flock to new movements in
the hope that purse strings of the move
ment will be loosely held.
Big Business Men
Enlisted in Move.
The inference was obvious Mr. Coon
ey had long been associated with Mr.
Perkins. Mr. Perkins had confidence in
Mr. Cooney. Beyond the shadow of a
doubt. Mr. Cooney was the proper per
son to handle the campaign.
But the available places were all fill
ed W. J. Tillson had been elected
state chairman. C. W. McClure bad been
chosen national committeeman. A place
had to be found for Mr. Cooney, it
was thereupon discovered that the Pro
gressives were in need of an executive
committee, and Mr. Cooney was just
the right man for chairman of that
b'-'y.
And the details of the Georgia cam
paign arc to be conducted by the ex
ecutive committee, with Me srs. Tillson
and McClure acting as ex-officio and
advisory members
It Is the plan that the executive com
mittee be composed of business nu-n of
the highest standing, men who have
hitherto not been active In the politics
of either of the two old parties.
The leaders and Mr. Cooney are now
busy making up the p< r-onnel of this

chop-stroke game, baffling Dabney
completely. The score was 6-2. 6-4. 6-1.

FULTON K
ASUPSTEHS
RHCB
HDUPSETS
Slaton, Dorsey, and Pendleton
Were Expected to Win Their
Respective Races.
Fulton county's vote ir the state pri
mary is today undergoing careful study
by persons politically interested. It is
a striking fact that virtually no race
in the county resulted in a surprise. As
the political tipsters said the county
would go, so the votes were polled. In
nearly every Instance.
Slaton's majority of almost three to
one had been freely prophesied during
the final days of the campaign, and the
vote Slaton. 6.405; Alexander. 2,529;
Hall. 158—shows how well the situation
had been studied by the leaders of his
campaign.
Though there were Alexander work
ers about the polls throughout the day.
they were unable to swing even one
city ward or country district into the
column of the prohibitionist candidate,
in only one district did he come close.
That was at Hapeville, where Alexan
der received 47 votes to Slaton's 48.
Hoke Smith Factions
Not in Line Yesterday.
It was noticed that Smith
or anti-Brown faction that swung Ful
ton county in both the last gubernato
rial fight and in the presidential pri
mary, made no effort to maintain its
line in yesterday's battle. Many of
them were enthusiastic workers for
Slaton, while Alexander's strength came
largely from the ultra-prohibitionist el
ement.
More than in the governor’s race, in
terest centered In the purely local
fights. The contests between Judge
John Pendleton and Alex Stephens for
judge of the superior court, Hugh Dor
sey and Madison Bel! for solicitor gen
eral and the legislative race were all
spiritedly fought and drew out the big
vote.
Though interest was high in these
races, no ante-election prophecies went
wrong. Though Stephens' supporters
struggled to the end, the talent had
picked Judge Pendleton as the winner.
Stephens carried but one city ward, the
Fifth, where he led his opponent 342 to
243. Adamsville and Battle Hill dis
tricts both went to him by small ma
jorities and in Blackhall each candi
date polled 46 votes. The total was.
Pendleton, 5.767; Stephens. 3,115.
Dorsey Wins
Easy Victory.
The runaway race made by Solicitor
General Hugh Dorsey was gratifying
to his friends and a distinct surprise to
the supporters of Madison Bell, his op
ponent. Mr. Bell made an aggressive
campaign of a personal nature. He had
employed the old method of personal
appeal so rapidly fading out in the
larger counties and had visited every
section of the county, the stores, the
shops and office buildings to press his
claim.
Despite this, he failed to win a single
box. The vote was: Dorsey, 6.230; Bell,
2,738.
There was a real thrill in the legis
lative race. There were five candidates
for the three positions, and until the
votes were counted there were few bold
enough to say who would be returned
winner. Throughout the polling,
though, it was known that the race had
narrowed down to Robert Blackburn.
R. O. Cochran. J. Y. Smith and W. M.
Smith. Walter McElreath, member of
the present legislature and candidate
for re-election, fought hard and had
loyal friends, but they saw rhat there
were too many and too potent influ
ences working against him to bode
well for his success.
His support of the Tippins bill had
aroused the ire of the "near-beer” ele
ment and the weight of Its support was
thrown against him. Then, too, his
support of the proposed new charter
last fall, which was so bitterly fought
by the city government, did much to
account for his defeat. Despite these
influences his rare was close Tito
vote was: Blackburn, 5,636 J, Y Smith.
5 447. Cochran, 5.299; W M. Smith
4 76:;. McElreath. 4.416

IS GREATEST
IN STATE’S
HISTORY
Atlantan Sweeps State. Receiv
ing Over 100.000 Popular
Vote Out of 150,000.
The overw helming victory of John M.
Slaton in yesterday's primary for the
Democratic nomination so- governor of
Georgia is assured in approximately
complete returns from almost every
county in .he state.
He seems sure to have carried 136
counties, and will have a convention
vote of 338.
The counting has been a ggrava tingly
slow, but it has progressed to a point
where results may be definitely ascer
tained.
Slaton is known positively to have
carried 116 counties. Alexander is
credited with 4 and Hall with 6

a seeming chance in no more.
Every incomplejed county is running
away to Slaton.
Alexander will have 14 unit votes In
the convention and Hall 16
The popular vote is estimated to
have run over 150,000. with Slaton get
ting something like 115.000 of them.
Never before has a primary candi
date received such a sweeping, conclu
sive and definite indorsement in a state
convention as that accorded John M.
Slaton, of Fulton, yesterday.
Results Exceed
Highest Expectations.
The result exceeded even Mr. Sla
ton's most optimistic expectations, and
went beyond bls headquarters' official
claim, issued by Hardy Ulm Tuesday.
Senator A. O. Racon decisively de
feated H. H. Petry for re-election to
the United States senate, although
Perry ran a remarkable race. Perry
received a strong vote in many coun
ties and carried something like a dozen.
He will show up most creditably in the
final returns, so far as the popular vote
is concerned.
Senator Bacon probably won by from
4n,000 to 50,000 popular vote —the sen
atorial race being the only one the stale
executive committee authorized under a
plurality plan.
James D. Price, of appears to
have won the race for commissioner of
agriculture.
In 99 counties reported in complete
form. Price has carried 46. with 118 unit
votes; Blalock has 22. w-ith 54 unit
votes, and Brown has 31, with 82 unit
votes.
Price has pulled steadily ahead, and
the incoming returns Indicate his elec
tion with approximate certainty.
Brittain overwhelmed Beck for state
school commissioner, about doubling his
opponent's vote.
The railroad commissionership races
were hotly contested, but the present
commissioners look like safe winners,
with Flynt, McLendon and McGehee
running well. In the order of their
winning. It stands Gray, Hillyer and
Trammell.
Felder Beats Jones
By Vote of 2 to 1.
Felder has defeated Jones for attor
ney' general by a very large vote —per-
haps 2 to 1.
Decidedly one of the most interesting
races of all was the contest between
Broyles and Pottle for the succession
to Pottle on the court of appeals bench.
Pottle wins this fight safely, but not
by the wide vote some of his friends
predicted. Broyles ran well in spots,
but not sufficiently well to overcome his
opponent's lead In any particular sec
tion.
Lindsey, for pension commissioner,
and Patterson, for prison commission
er. were easy winners
The following state house officers
were re-elected without opposition
Secretary of State Philip Cook. Comp,

Treasurer W. .1 Speer, Commissioner
of Commerce and Labor H M Stanley,
