Crowd Got News First.
The enormous crowd, which -was or

knew the result of the election even
before Mr. Smith, Mr. Howell, Chief
Joyner, or any of the other candidates.
None of them was In The Georgian's
place, and as no other paper received
the returns as promptly, accurately and
concisely, no other paper was able to
give them In the same excellent man

While the returns were being flashed

Pictures of all the candidates were
flashed on the big wall, together with
many of the political cartoons which'
have appeared recently In Tne Geor

and he made some Impromptu sketches
between times. At the beginning, the

struggling, cheering crowd. Their
presence demonstrated the loyally, the
public spirit, the Interest which had

trolley cars clanged their way slowly
over the crossings; an occasional auto

mass. The people stepped aside and
kept on cheering The Georgian's elec-

The crowd went home happy and
satisfied. And The Georgian, too, Is
happy and satisfied.
