WOODWARD WON
IN ATLANTA RACE
lie Was Victorious in Five
Cornered MayoraIity
Contest
4 BIG SURPRISE TO MANY
The Former Mayor Defeated his Near
est Opponent, p. C. stockdell, by
a Plurality of One Hundred
and Sixty-Eight Votes

Atlanta, Oct SIN a five-cornered
race for mayor of Atlanta today, Jam.
cd q. Woodward, at present member
oil the city council, won the race in the
city primary, defeating his nearest con
testant, P. c. Stockdell by a plurality
| OF 16S votes. The other candidates
were J. p, Goodman, T. D. Logino and
James l.. Key.
While a hard battle was fought and
, a big vote polled, the primary was a
very quite and orderly one.
The election OF Mr.. Woodward was
big surprise in some circles, while
his close supporters have all along
stated that he would win the race.
James G. Woodwad was mayor of
Atlanta few years ago. At that time
he was employed in the office of the
Atlanta Journal and was put up by
the labor men. He made a good race
and defeated his opponents by a good
majority. His record as mayor was a
very good one, but the chief executive
often got on his tears and there was
considerable criticism. At the expi.
retlon OF his term he was defeated
by Mayor Howell.
Two years ago he went into the al
dermanic race and won out. His
friends urged him to enter the mayor,
atty contest this year. and they are
delighted with his victory.
ghe campaign has been a bitter and
hard fought one and there was con-
siderable betting on the final results.
