And The Georgian, by the way. is the only newspaper in the state that ventured a detailed and specific pre diction in the governorship race. On Tuesday, The Georgian said, through its corps of state correspond ents. that Slaton would carry not less than 131 counties, that Alexander might get a dozen, and Hall half as many as Alexander. In setting forth that final forecast, The Georgian's correspondents went the governor-to-be eleven counties bet ter than his own claim—he predicted for himself 120 counties. The Georgian .said that Alexander and Hall together would get hardly half the popular vote accorded Slaton. Sla ton seems to have run well over 50,000 ahead of his opponents combined. Going back to the beginning. The Georgian, some two weeks after the collapse of the Hudson boom, used this expression: “The governorship race seems to have developed into a run away for Slaton!" That sentence was quoted from one end of the state to the other, and by some of The Georgian's contemporaries was thought to be rather broad and confident. But it was true—absolutely true. From the very day of the Hudson down fall. the race WAS a runaway for Sla ton. The Georgian had no other interest in the matter than to set forth intelli gently and- fairly the honest news of the gubernatorial campaign as It de l veloped from time to time. A° a newspaper, The Georgian was *due that much to its constituency—the state of Georgia as a whole, and with out particular regard to factions or sec tions. In its endeavor to be fair to all and partial to none. The Georgian was sub jected by one of the candidates to a sweeping indictment of unfair play and lack of intent or desire to give all the candidates "a square deal!” By its conduct rather than in specific denial The Georgian pleaded "not guil ty” ,to that indictment —and the re turns of yesterday vindicate The Geor gian's plea sufficiently and with approx imate conclusiveness. The Georgian gave Mr. Alexander a great deal of space, when Mr. Alexan der seemed to deserve it from the standpoint of news. When he made his spectacular en trance into the gubernatorial contest, The Georgian spread the news of that from one end of Georgia to the other. Before that The Georgian had ac corded Mr. Alexander a large measure of praise for certain fights he had made on the floor of the house for the pas sage of pending legislation in which he seemed sincerely and deeply Interested. When he announced for governor, he immediately became a Igitimate topic of comment and a source of news. The Georgian shirked nothing byway of honest news endeavor, so far as Mr. Alexander was concerned, it gave him. as it xvas giving Mr. Slaton and Mr. Hall, "a square deal!" Through its various sources of infor mation of an authentic and dependable sort, The Georgian saw. early in Mr. Alexander’s fight, that his cause was 1 hopeless and its finish definitely sure. Tlie Georgian reflected, not unkindly, but. truthfully, that state of things. It required its correspondents to send in. with careful attention to accuracy, unbiased reports of xvhat likely would happen in their various communities on election day . Their answer was, “Not less than 131 counties for Slaton.” Tlie Georgian printed their opinions, assembled in one straightforward news story. Mr. Alexander promptly’ characterized that story as 'bluster," and repeated his charge of unfairness and lack of a desire to give him a "square deal.” That sounded a little like whining to The Georgian but The Georgian let it go—the only’ point now is that the re sults justify The Georgian's corre spondents. and show that they faith fully followed The Georgian's instruc- tions to send in truthful reports, and I that only. * I Mr. Hall received a "square deal” at The Georgian s hands —and never once did he complain that he xvasn’t getting | just that. He stood straight up. fought in the . open, never "hollered" if the news seemed not to come his way—indeed, he I never seemed to notice particularly that it wasn't coming his way—and to the ■ last ditch he was the same brave "Old 1 Joe" The Macon Telegraph has loved to talk about. He ran second, and not third, too. it. ' the final lap—thus, in away. reversing I one of The Georgian's forecasts, for Th> Georgian had thought that Hall would 1 | run third, with practically no differ | cnee between Hall and Alexander in ' ' the finish. The successful candidates are happy I today, of course. They are distributing their thanks profusely everywhere. it xvould seem to be up 10 The Geor gian to extend its thanks to those suc cessful ones for vindicating so nobly, so completely and so thoughtfully The Georgian's forecasts and predictions. Which, as a fitting finale to this run- PUMPS FOR EVERY SERVICE DUNN MACHINERY COMPANY, Atlanta By JAMES B. NEVIN. ning comment, Sidelights assumes, on behalf of The Georgian, to do. Hooper Alexander, of DeKalb, lost his home county in his race for the governorship to John M. Slaton, by 285 votes. "Bob" Hardeman, vice chairman of the committee on rules, is returned to the house from Jefferson by a hand some majority. He will be a candidate for speaker. Mack Johnson, member of the present house and candidate for .president of the senate, was defeated for election to the senate by former Representative Brown, of Bartow, thus collapsing a beautiful boom. Tippins, of Appling, co-author with Mr Alexander of the Tippins-Alexander prohibition bill, lost out in his effort to be returned, and must retire in favor of J. H. Carter. Roland Ellis, former representative and state senator, was badly defeated by Judge John P. Ross for solicitor general of the Macon judicial circuit. Former Representative "Bob" Hodges, present city court judge <>fbMacon, also went down and out in his race against H. A. Matthews for judge of the Macon circuit. ( arl Vinson, of Baldwin, speaker pro tern of the last house, lost out by 5 votes to Howard Ennis, his only oppo nent. It was some fight between those two, all right! F ullbright. of Burke, comes back to the house, and that may mean a third entry into the next speakership race. Randolph Anderson. of Chatham, comes to the next senate. He will be a candidate for president thereof. Adams, of Hall, the world's champion heavx xx eight mover-of-the-previous qtiestiop. will be on the Job again next session.
