Smith Says National Issues Didn't
Enter-Decreascd Democratic
Majority in Florida.

Atlanta. Ga. Oct. w. Y. Atkinson
(dem.) is reelected for governor by Il
majority of not less than $4,000, which
is an increase of 5000 over two years
ago. The situation at midnight was
very complex and the results largely
guesswork. Fulton county, in which
this city is situated, has given Atkinson
Il majority of 1000, where two years ago
it gave II majority of 1900. Bibb county
TINS year gives majority of 600 and
two years ago it gave the democrats n
majority of 5000. In the Tenth dis.
trict, which is the home of Tom Watson
the democratic majority was dropped
from 5000 to 1000. 1t is generally con.
coded. however, that Atkinson has
carried the state by at least $4,000. and
the returns are expected by his friends
to show that he has a majority of 30 900
This, if true, will mean that the balance
of the ticket has been successful by Il
majority of 10000.
