| II you want one Of the Official ballots
that are to be used in the coming state

at the state capitol il is said that he is
acting for B. NJ. Blackburn. secretary to
Gov. Joseph NJ. Brown. Mr. Blackburn is
at home fl.
At the capitol visit 10 the office OF the
governors secretary brought out the in
, formation that any business the secre-
tary had in hand would be attended to
Here a request was made of a young
man for one of the official ballots He
said Attorney General Hewlette Hall and
charge OF that part of the arrangements
being made for the coming election.
Because OF the illness OF Mr. Black
burn, said the young man. Mr.. Hall had
undertaken TO get up the ballots.
But at the office of Mr.. Hall additional
information was obtained. Here IT was
stated that the newly appointed attorney
general had not reached his Office for the
day. 1t was then II 80.
GO TO GOV. TERRELL.
A request was then made OF a stenog-
rapher for one of the official ballots.
I'VE have no ballots here" said the
stenographer in the outer ONCE OF the at
torney general. You can get one, how
ever. by going to the office Of Governor
Terrell, in the Empire Life building"
lis Governor Terrell a member of any
committee having this work in charger?
was asked the young man.
mo, I don't think he Is" was the re-
ply: but you see Mr.. Blackburn is Ill
and Mr.. Hall got up the ballots. I think
perhaps he got Governor Terrell to help
him"
The offices Of former Governor Terrell
are on the eighth foor OF the Empire Life
building. The entrance to these apart
ments is at the end OF a hall. On the
right is an ONCE in which sits young
lady. A typewriter desk, chairs and
number OF ballots were in this room.
In the reception room two gentlemen
were seated. i
one OF these gentlemen was asked for
a copy OF the official ballot.
The governor has Them" said the
gentleman addressed, land just now he Is
busy" An instant later, however, he
went into the Office where the young lady
was at work and came back with one
OF the ballots. s-s-.- -'..-s.
ct think the governor got the young
lady to assist in mailing them out, he
said.
Then the gentleman was asked IL two
sets of ballots had not been printed and
If the first set had contained the name
OF Edward H. Walker. Of Fulton county
candidate for governor.
ct think" was the reply, that I did
hear something about the name OF Mr..
Walker being left of some OF them"
At this juncture Governor" Terrell
came from his private ONCE.
WHAT TERRELL SAID.
Governor" said the gentleman, this
gentleman says that you left Walkers
name of OF the Official ballot"
We'll" replied the governor" at
was left off Of some OF them but Char
ley Pendleton saw the mistake. He was
I'D here looking them over when the omis-
sion was detected. He was In hurry
TO get back home so he took some of
them away IN order. TO mail them out
early He wrote the name of Walker>on
these. Then we had the correction made
and others were printed.
But" continued the governor" with
smile, Charley Pendleton said the best
advertisement Walker could get would be
to leave his name Off"
