RACE
ENTRIES CLOSED

Despite various interesting 'runors'
going the rounds, opinion is rapidly
crystalizing among statesmen near and
far in Georgia that there are to be no
further entries into the gubernatorial
contest-that the battle is to be fought
out between John NJ. Slaton, of Fulton,
and Joe Hill Hall. of Bibb.
Talk of Murphey Gambler and Thorn
as s. Fielder as candidates practically
has ceased entirely Both are known
to have been seriously considered for
time by various political leaders here
and there, and undoubtedly pressure
was brought to bear on both, from one
quarter and another, to run.
1t is generally accepted as a fact to
day, however. that neither Mr. Gambler
nor Mr. Fielder will get INTO the fight

Thomas w. Hardvick, of the Tenth
congressional district. recently was
considered more than likely entry.
But Mr. HardEick has not intimated to
anybody publicly that he intends run
ming, and specific inquiry directed to
him fails to get reply that indicates
his intention. or even remote purpose
to run.
day or so ago there was revival
of the L. G. Hartman boom. and it
was given out. WITH some show of au-
thority that the doctor would throw his
hat into the ring. But as time runs on
the doctors hat doesn't appear inside
the magic circle; and recent direct in
quiry to him has elected no reply that
necessarily means anything.
In the meantime, both Slaton and
Hall are as busy as can be getting
their campaigns shaped up and well
under way Mr. Hall is making speeches
daily, and is being greeted with genuine
enthusiasm in various quarters. Mr.
Slaton is constantly in close touch with
his friends and feels sure that he has
fallen heir to a decided prepondsraEca
of the late Hudson strength.
Apparently, the state is rapidly divic-
ing between these two-and il there
are to be other entries, observers OF
events and things generally are begin
ming to wonder why they hang fire so
persistently.
