From many rural districts the returns had to be carried to the county seat on horseback, and the results of some counties are delayed. All during the forenoon James L. Anderson, chairman, and James B, Hoyle, secretary, of the Hoke Smith campaign committee, were busy re ceiving and compiling returns. They now claim 118 counties, with a total delegation to the convention of 310. They concede only 27 counties to the combined opposition, with a total vote in the convention of 56 votes. The number necessary for a choice is 185, this giving 126 votes to spare In the convention if their claims hold good. In two counties there will be con tests. In Quitman, where two separate elections were held, the opposition to Hoke Smith will contest, and in Mc Duffie, which is claimed by James Smith, will be contested by the Hoke 8mith people. While the vote was comparatively light over the state, still the returns show that Hoke Smith's vietory is com plete. ELECTION RETURNS ON PAGE THREE HOT TO ENTER RACE "Nothing to say for publication. The people have recorded their verdict In unmistakable language, and I am con tent with that verdict" That was the greeting of Hon. Hoke Smith to a Georgian representative Thursday morning in his office on the seventh floor of the Peters building. Air. Smith got down town about 9 o’clock. When he reached the entrance to the Peters building he was halted by a mass of people who wanted to shako his hand and offer congratula tions. Ho seemed in fine spirits, and his long and arduous campaign appar ently left him in the* best of physical condition. When he finally got to his office a big batch of telegrams awaited him. Some gave results in close counties, but the bulk of them contained congratu lations. All forenoon a steady stream of people came up to his office, and his handle. Now and then he stopped to scan a handful of telegrams offered by a secretary. "Vice President Next." "Governor, we want to make you vice president next time," said one enthu siast. "My friend, thank you, but I will be In Georgia for^four years now. I ex pect to be this great state's chief exec utive for the next four years, and 1 wouldn’t lay that duty and honor down for the vice presidency, if it was ten dered me." Shortly before 10 o’clock Reuben Ar nold, who has done yeoman service for Mr. Smith, came In. Instantly Mr. Smith arose from his easy chair, and threw his arms about the smiling at torney: "Well, Reuben, my boy, how are you! It was wonderful, wonderful, eh?" "Fine, governor; great, splendid, prodigious, incomparable!" A clfcan cut young fellow rushed In and grasped Mr. Smith’s hand as he said: "Governor, I came all the way from Mexico to vote for you. Got here Wednesday morning, and I’m mighty proud to have been one of the many thousand Georgians to poll a vote for the biggest and finest man in the coun try.” James L. Anderson, chairman of the Hoke Smith central campaign commit tee, to whose wonderful capacity for organization largely lies the over whelming victory of his man, was in and out, of the offices, with a happy smile on his face and scores of badges and buttons still fastened to his shirt. 120 Countiet 8ure. "Oh, what’s the use of talking about It? We’ve 120 counties sure, and that tells all that is worth telling. The people triumphed." Congratulatory telegrams came from practically every section of the coun try. There were scores from New York, Texas, the Carolines and other states. By 10 o’clock a great stack of them lay in front of Mr. Smith, and messenger boys were hurrying In and out like bees. Men from every section of the state came to Mr. Smith’s office to offer con- among the visitors. They seemed more pleased than anybody. As the elevator descended the boy operating it wiped his steaming brow and said: , “Gee, all de people in de world seem to be tryln’ to git up to de seventh floor dis mornln’.” BASEBALL Atlanta—010 010 010—3 L.

Brown, of Cobb county, will not be a candidate for railroad commissioner at the October election • > succeed himself upon the expira tion of his term In October, 1907. In reply to the direct question of the Georgian representative, . Mr. Brown authorized the statement that he would not seek the position. "In the light of Wednesday’s turns It would not become me to seek a position under an administration when myself and the head of the gov ernment hold entirely different ideas about certain vital matters. I shall not offer for railroad commissioner in October.” Commissioner Brown said he felt no bitterness over the result, and that he would retire to private life when the time came without enmity towards anyone who differs with him in mat ters of public policy. With Commissioner Brown eliminat ed from the race, this leaves only three men now mentioned for the posi tion. Fondren Mitchell, of Thomas county, Editor Jesse Mercer, of the Fitzgerald Enterprise, and Hon. Thom a* Crenshaw. If the lines as to a railroad man- or one possessing practical railroad ex perience, are drawn In selecting Mr. Brown’s successor, all those named will be eliminated except Mr. Cren If the Democratic state convention nominates the candidates on Septem- l* p r 4, the man named will be the choice of Hoke Smith as he will domi nate the convention.
