LUCKED IN FITTER FIGHT
iMilu Governor'* IU« G»lns
If cal Dally and Other Contests
Gain Interest In Cloning Days.
Atlanta. Ga.—Georgia’s amartn*
race for governor swept on this
week witn new and surprising de
velopments every day and a new
display of venom and bitterness.
As the campaign drew toward a
dose, the pledges of Governor Tal-
madge and Judge Pittman back in
May to neither give nor ask quar- |
ter are receiving unexpectedly
thorough confirmat'yn.
Day after day, the rival candidates
shout their slogans, pour out their
charger, and claim inevitable victory,
but the mass of voters were inclined
to believe it was anybody’s raep.
Governor Talmadge. taking one
the most vigorous attacks rained up
on any candidate for statehoi
office in years, came hack fighting
from every assault, held his rallies
to record-breaking crowds that
cheered him with wild enthusiasm
and in between his infrequent
speeches and his attention to his du
ties. issued pungent statements and
comments upon the developments
of the campaign.
All agreed that any other might
have gone under by sheer weight
of the attack, but Governor Talm-
adge not onlv kept going but as
sumed the role of aggressor.
Judge Pittman, meanwhile, added
to the vigor of his speaking cam
paign. one of the most strenuous a
major candidate has undertaken in
years, if not in the history of Geor
gia politics. Through the last week
end he had made 55 addresses and
planned to speak at least two and
often four times a day through the
rest of the campaign.
Developments in the situation have
come so fast that the complexion of
the race changes daily. Otustanding
occurrences were the “joint debate"
on the Walter Roc case at Carters*
villc. which turned out to be a duel
of contradictory affidavites: the
White House letter announcing a
“hand-off" policy in all local politi
cal contests, and the decision of two
leading, railroads to accept the 18
per cent rate cut. which was hailed
as a great administration victory.
Other developments having a
bearing on the situation were the
injunction preventing John Whitley.
LaGrangc contractor, from carrying
on two highway contracts, unless he
paid code wages, and the prompt
assumption of the work by the state
highway department. The highway
board announced it would carry on
all state-aid road work in the fu
ture.
These things had important bear
ing on the Talmadge-Pittman battle
but little effect upon the candidacy
of Ed Gilliam, who continued, un-
mol**sted by either of the two candi
dates. his two speeches a day. He
attacks his two opponents for their
failure to offer a constructive pro
gram and boosts his own planks of
the return of legal whiskey and a
state sales tax.
The race between Jud P. Wilhoit.
James A. Perry and Robert N.
Springfield for the public service
commission was marked by state
ments from Springfield and Perry.
Springfield said the importance of
the supervision of utilities and the
making of rates was too great to .se
lect the man for the job on any
other basis than experience and in
tegrity, and outlined his own rec-
Mi.
Perry said he was running the
race on the basis of his ability and
experience.
Columbus Roberts, candidate for
commissioner of agriculture, issued
a statement declaring that he was
running his own race, keeping it on
a high nlane and bassing his i_lea for
support solely on his ability and.
his platform calling for better I
marketing facilities for Georgia farm
produce.
Dr. J. M. Sutton, running for the
same post, announced a ten-point
platform calling for more cash pay
days through development of mar
kets. and a daily radio broadcast of
farm market information.
Tom Linder. whore campaign for
this post has carried him or. a speak
ing tour of the state, declares he is
the only real farmer in the race and
that his experience in the farm de
portment has qualified him for the
post.

Hunters who are loking forward
to the opening of the dove season
on .September 1st. are warned that
no warden wiH be allowed to -«ell
a license to anyone caught in the
field without the proper license for
the new season. In a letter to all
wardens Game and Fish Commission
josrucuanj
all persons hunting without license.
The old excuse that the license was
left at home will not work this year,
for the Georgia law requires that
the license be on the person while
hunting. Wardens have been notified
that selling a license in the field
will be grounds for dismissal from
the service.

to enter Beck’s store the same
night, but was unsuccessful.
