he held there at noon Tuesday. The
delegation from Sumter is: William
W. Dykes, John A fort, William A.
Dodson, j, Randolph Logan, ]. E. Shap-
pard, Cranston Williams, j. E. Ranew
ard N. A. Ray.
Sumter is very much interested in
TIE court of appeals judgeship nomi-
nations, with three to be selected. Sum
ter was won in the primary by o. H. B.
Bloodworth, of Forsyth; Walter
George. of Vienna, and w. Frank Jen-
kins, of Eatonton. A part of the Sum

for Macon, where it is said they will
confer with Judge George
Sumters vote will be cast through
cut the convention for the choices of
the county in the primary and as long
as their names are before the body.
Should any names be withdrawn from
consideration which Sumter gave a
majority, then the delegation will be
free to cast the county's vote.
Dorsey win Be There.
Hugh M. Dorsey, the victorious can
didate for governor, will be at the con-
vention and an interesting interview
appeared in this mornings Atlanta
Constitution:
While it will be my purpose and
policy when elected governor, to stand
loyalty by my friends in all cases,
wherever can do so with propriety,
will carry neither grudge nor resent
ment into the administration of the Of
fee Of governor, and no citizen of this
state will ever, with my approval or
consent, be prescribed or punished for
following legally the dictates of his
own conscience or the bent or his per-
sonal preference in any matter, person
al or political.
with reference to the published ru-
mors that l intended to dominate the
Macon convention, desire to say that
am going to Macon to accept from
the convention the nomination which
was extended by the people inthepri-
mary election, and which is to be rati-
fed by their delegates in convention
assembled
LAS far as l am advised, the only
contest for office before the convention
is the contest for judges of the court
OF appeals, no candidate having re-
ccived majority vote of the people.
Il think my published platform and
public speeches made it perfectly clear
that in my opinion even the governor
OF the state, after he is sworn into
Office should follow the constitutional
inhibition, and should refrain from un-
due interference with the legislative
and with the judiciary departments,
with which the executive department
lis merely coordinate.
WIN Not Dominate Convention.
81 have neither desire nor purpose
to dominate the Macon convention in
any way. l will go to Macon to re-
ceiye my nomination from the hands
of the delegates, who will deliver it
under instructions from the people Of
the state. hope to receive the benefit
of wise counsel, advice and instruc-
tons from these delegates, regardless
of their personal preferences in the
campaign which has closed, and / be-
lieve / will receive not only in the
campaign for election, but in my ad-
ministration, the hearty cooperation
of every delegate to the convention
and of every white citizen of Georgia,
except, perhaps the few individuals and
newspapers who have grown so con-
firmed in the habit of misrepresenting
nv views, statements and record that
they cannot be expected to break of
cid habits all at once"
