BETTER NEWS FROM GEORGIA
Post Midnight Returns Indicate Majority of 35,000 to 10000 for Atkinson.
 and More for the Ticket.

Atlanta. Ga, Oct. 7~-Reports to the Constitution from all parts of the state indicate that iAtlllnson's majority for governor will exceed 35Oe0, with the prob ability that his majority will go over 40,- 900 on the announcement of the official consolidation, which takes place tomor- row. The majority for the remainder of the state ticket will largely exceed that of Atkinson, the probability being that 1t will go beyond 50000. while Atkinson's majority will be from 12000 to 15,00G larger than that received by him two years ago, when it was 24,000. His loss, as compared with the remainder of the state ticket this year. is attributable to several complications. In the first place his op- ponent, Wright, made a vigorous per- sonal campaign against him, appealing to prohibition prejudice. Atkinson having made his campaign in favor of local op- ton, and Wright having been nominated by the populists on the platform of en- forced stale prohibition. Under local op- ton law 106 of the 137 counties in the state have adopted prohibition, and the democratic campaign was based on the indorsement of local option. Many of the extreme prohibitionists voted for Wright on appeal to prohibition senti- ment, and this accounts in part for Att kinson not receiving as heavy vote as the remainder of the state ticket.
 Many prominent ministers of the state, however, openly espoused the cause of To- cal option as being the best method of dealing with the prohibition question, they regarding it as unfortunate that 1t had been made political issue.
 Reports from every section of the state show largely increased democratic ma jofities over the vote of two years ago. This, Fulton county. will give Atkinson HOO majority and his majority in this congressional district will be nearly 5000
 Returns are coming in slowly from the various counties, showing a steady demo- cratic increase, which if continued In the same proportion in the reports of the counties yet to be heard from will give Atkinson a majority in the neighborhood of 40 GOO.

He Had Long Conference With the Major
 Says the Fight Is Won.
9-2g-tf


 Canton, O., Oct. I'M. A. Hanna came down from Cleveland today at 590 and left Canton for Chicago at 9:90 o'clock, having spent four hours in discussing campaign matters with Major Mckinley. The candidate and the chairman had long talk and discussed the conduct of the campaign in all parts of the country. Mr. Hanna repeated his expressions of confidence at the east and said he felt that there would be no further need of his presence. He deems the fight already won, and thinks all signs point to sweeping victory in the west, but says the work must be kept up with vigor everywhere till the polls close.
 The campaign has been conducted on the broad lines laid down by Major Me- Kinley shortly after his nomination, and Mr. Hanna expressed the high admira- tion of the political sagacity, as we'll as the splendid and effective speeches of Major Mckinley"
 The speaking campaign is to be carried on more vigorously in all so-called doubt ful states, and good deal of active work for the south has been mapped out by Major Mckinley and MT. Hanna.
