GEORGE LEADS
AS WINNER IN
SENATE RACE
Atlanta Politicians Say The
Race is Between Vienna
Man and Governor Thom
as W. Hardwick.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 16. —Witli each
of the four candidate for the U. S.
senate on their last lap in the Geor
gia campaign, political forecasters
here today, regardless of party af
filiations, are inclined to give the
lead to Judge Walter F. George, of
Vienna, Whether he will win or not
in the primary tomoirow few there
are who will not admit that it is
Georgp against the field, with Gov
ernor Hardwick the next competitor
in the race.
Several days ago, it became ap
parent, according to close observers,
that the contest had narrowed to the
South Georgia jurist and the gover
nor, and with the Columbia Sentinel,
publication of the late Senator Wat
son supporting Judge George and
other Watson leaders endorsing him,
tlie betting fraternity put-their odds
on the jurist.
Another strong point in favor of
Judge George is that he is from South
Georgia, which seems determined, re
ports state, to have one of the two
places in the national senate, it be
ing pointed out that the senior sen
ator, Hon. Wm. J. Harris, is from
North Georgia.
From the very first it was appar
ent thaj Judge George would lead in
the race. There was some question
as to whether he could develop enough
strength to be nominated in the first
primary, had the governor’s bid for
Watson support bee n effective, which
failed.

Traveling at a greater rate of speed
than ever attained by man in any
kind of machine, Lieut. R. L. Maag

set anew world’s record for air

kilometer course at the rate of two

Weather conditions were ideal and
the nervy pilot, his machine and other

record of travel has even near

more like lightning than that of man’s

FI PORT CITIES
Plans for Aujustments of Export
Rates Underway. Northern
Ports Have Had Considerable
Advantage.
Atlanta, Ga., Get. 16.—Plans for an
adjustment of export rates said to
give North Atlantic port s a prefer
ence over Southern ports, will be op
posed by the Atlanta Chamber of
Commerce, B. S. Barker, secretary,
has announced here.
A request that the chamber to take
this actio n was received from Mat
thew Hale, of Wilmington, N. C.,
president of the South Atlantic Ports
Association, who said the Boston port
had petitioned the Interstate Com
merce Commission to readjust the
so as to give the Norther n ports
an advantage over the Southern
ports, an equalization of rates having
been given by a decision three or four
years ago.
“It is essential from nur standpoint
thaj all the cities of our four states,
orth Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida, be represented
at this hearing wheih was adjourned
from Boston and will be held in
Washington, D. C., about November
17 and 18,” Mr. Hale said i n his tet
ter.
“This is a matter of such imme
diate and great importance that I am
urging you herewith to take imme
diate action toward having a repre
sentative present at that time. Per
sonal representation, which will show
that our communities are really
aroused, will have a very great ef
fect. Representatives of the Middle
West, we hope, will be present to
express the sentiment of shippers of
that section against closing the
Southern ports, which would be the
effect of the measure adopted.”
