Decisive Victory

While Newt Norris and Judge Pat
terson are struggling over the result Of
the election for the superior iudgeship
Of the Blue Ridge circuit. Herbert Clay.
of Marietta son Of the late Senator a.
s Clay, stands out a winner for the
solicitorship by the largest majority
ever given a candidate with opposition
in the section
Clay's race, a clean sweep of Cobb,
Cherokee, Forsyth and Pickens coun-
ties, with a majority over J. P. Brooke
the incumbent Of more than 1000
votes, is regarded the most remarkable
ever run for a court office in the Blue
Ridge
Aside from the prominence of the ca

in Atlanta During the past year he
has assisted Solicitor Hugh Dorsey in
some of the most important criminal
cases tried in Atlanta,

and fleeing. His case was dismissed.
