Mr. McGregor was nominated to j succeed the late Commissioner of Pen- j sions, W. C. Lindsey, who died several ‘ weeks ago after his name had been printed on the state ticket. Clark, now , serving, was appointed to succeed him during the administration by Gov ernor Hardwick and later announced for the full term.

SOUTH GEORGIA’S CANDIDATE AN EASY PRIMARY WINNER Vienna Jurist Sweeps State and a Second Primary Will Not be Necessary—Returns Last Night Indicated That He Would Have Over One Hundred Counties. Hardwick Runs a Poor Second—Seab Wright Car ries Only Few Counties. __ Atlanta, Oct. 17. —(By the Associated Press.) —With only | twenty-six counties yet to be heard from in today’s special ; senatorial primary, the nomination of Judge Walter F. George, | of Vienna, was virtually assured according to the incomplete un ! official returns compiled by the Atlanta Constitution tonight. Judge George had a decisive majority of 250 county unit votes out of 352 tabulated. Two hundred and nine county unit votes are necessary to nominate. Governor Hardwick ran a poor second in the first 134 counties reporting, carrying 24 of them, which gave him 96 unit votes, while Seaborn Wright, of Rome, was far in the | rear with only 20 unit votes, he having caried his home county of Floyd and five others. With twenty-six counties yet to report it will be seen that ! the South Georgia jurist has more county unit votes than are necessary, and there is every indication that he will carry a j large majority of the missing counties. From the minute the first returns began to come in it was j evident that Judge George was going to make a runaway race. | Those who had predicted that a second primary would be nec essary were surprised by the heavy vote rolled up for the Vien na candidate. NAMED UNITED STATES SENATOR 2r M^li JUDGE WALTER F. GEORGE ST JOHN HAVEN BOYS TO SEE CIRCUS SATURDAY i The fifty little tots, who are in mates of St. John’s Haven, over on St. Simon island, will be happy on Saturday.

Two or three Brunswick friends of the little boys on the island have started a subscription for the purpose of entertaining the youngsters on Saturday, and already three-fourths of the amount has been raised. Ar rangements have been made for a boat on which to bring the hoys over ! and they will come in a body, go to I the circus, drink red lemonade and j have a good time generally. FEW COUNTIES CARRIED BY HARDWICK AND WRIGHT. Atlanta, Oct. 17.—According to returns received by the Atlanta Con stitution up to 9 o’clock tonight, it j appear s that Governor Hardwick and ] Seaborn Wright will not carry over , twenty-five counties in the entire j state. At that iiour they had car- j ried twenty-two, and practically 140 j had been heard from.

PRICE FIVE CENTS Reports from all sections of the | state showed a very small vote, j There was not a single county re porting as heavy a vote as that polled i in the state primary a month ago, , unles s it was the home counties of some of the candidates. While re- ports were missing from a number of counties tonight, it is believed that an 1 election was held in practically all of them, though there were said to be many precincts where there was no ( voting a( all. Figures tonight in dicated that not more than half the total vote of the state primary was polled. COOPER IS “SHUT OUT.” Unless one of the missing counties go for him, John R. Cooper, of Ma con, the fourth candidate in the race, will be without the vote of a county. Up to 10 o’clock tonight he failed to lead his three opponents i n any county, though his home county, Bibb, gave him a very flattering vote, but was found in the George column. SOMETHING OF NEW SENATOR. Judge Walter F. George, who was today nominated for the United States senate by Georgia Democrats, is one of the bes t known jurists in the state, and though yet a young man, he has filled the highest judicial offices in Georgia. First serving as solicitor-general, of the Cordele cir cuit, shortly after he graduated from Mercer Un'versity, he was later elected judge of th P sam P circuit, and served in that capacity for several years, when he was eleetd to a place o n th e Georgia court of appeals. Lat er he was named as a member of the ! Georgia supreme court and served on ; Georgia’s high tribunal until a year . ago, when he resigned and returned I to his home in Vienna to resume the i practice'of; law. Judge George will ;be formally eL-eted at the general i election in November, and will take I his seat a s senator when congress j convenes in December, succeeding ; Mrs. W. H. Felton, who, though ap -1 pointed by Governor Hardwick to j succeed Senator Watson, will not ! !uiv e the opportunity of serving as a member of the senate. HOW THE BIG COUNTIES VOTED FOR U. S.
