DENHERS LEADS RACE
 FOR TIE LEGISLATURE
pr. Cunningham Is Running in Ad- vance of Waller for Lieutenant- Governor, While Garber Is In
 Lead for Attorney General.

So much of the interest in this primary yesterday centered in the race for gov ernor that 1t was exceedingly difficult to get any definite returns from Jefferson county last night as regards the race be- tween the other candidates. Jelks. carries the county and Dr. Cunningham is run ming in advance of MT. Waller for lieu tenant governor.
 The race between Tanner, Hehin and Julian is too close to name the winner from the figures at hand.
 Mir. Gsrber seems to be leading for att torney general. and MT. Cory for superin- tendent of education. It is impossible at this writing to name moro than enc of the successful candidates for the legisla- ture Augustus Benners Is certainly elected
 Returns indicate that w. F. Meroney is elected auditor
 For road supervisor J. Ed Haigler Is ahead so far as the returns received | show.
 Messrs Christian. Moore. Oakley and Thach. the Jelks candidates for the state committee, appear to be in the lead.
 The proposition to elect the railroad commission by the people seems to have carried easily.
 There is but littlo for me to say" said Chairman B. A. Thompson of the Jelks county campaign committee at midnight, "the figures speak for themselves
 Last Saturday in giving my forecast of the primary in this county. predict ed that Governor Jelks would carry every beat in the county between East Lake and Bessemer including those two boxes. and in addition, Wylam Ensley, Pratt City, Blossburg. Brookside and not less than seven country boxes.
 So far the only one of these boxes we have lost is the siIy hall which 5hn- ston carried by a majority of 12.
 Previous to the election predicted a majority in the county of 1000 for Jelks, and sec no reason now to alter my fig ures. It may be little more or a little less. but 1000 will be substantially cor rect''
