BALLOTINC HEAVY
ALL OVER STATE.
In HOT PRIMARY.
Showers Generally Re
ported Sumter Total
May Reach 1000

One Of the largest votes ever cast
in Georgia was predicted for today's
statewide Democratic primary in
which United States senator. gov
ernor, eight congressman ana num-
erous legislators and other state Of
ficals will be nominated. There are
four candidates for the seat of Unit
ed States Senator Hoke Smith, Sena-
tor Smith, Thomas e. Watson, Gov
ernor Dorsey and John R. Cooper be-
ing the four. Three are in the race
for governOr-Clifford Walker, John
Holder and Thomas w. Hardwick.
Scattering reports received in At
lanta show heavy vote is beng cast
throughout the state despite general
ly showery weather. Atlanta cast a
large early vote, with no reports of
disorders received up to noon.
In Sumtercountyw where theweather
was fair most of the day, although
occasional light showers fell about
midday, an unusually heavy vote
was being polled during the forenoon,
and there were indications of a rec
ord-breaking total before closing
time. By IL O'Clock 450 ballots had
been deposited, at the court house
for the 9th district, and at 2 o'clock
the total had been increased to $40.
Predictions were made freely that
more than 1000 votes would be cast
in this district by o'clock, the hour
Of closing here. The total for the
county is expected to reach 1000.
The voting place in Americus was
q busy scene all day. Dorsey and
Smith workers were present in large
numbers, and there was keen, but
good natured rivalry between them.
There were also some Yatson work
ers on hand, although the Watson
followers made no attempt to claim
a possibility of winning the county.
Estimates of the probable number of
votes Watson would receive in Sum-
ter county ranged from 100 to 300
with some of his more ardent follow
ers claiming more than the larger
number
Returns from the from the country
precincts were expected to start COM
ing in shortly after o'clock, the
hour for closing the polls in all the
districts outside of Americus. In doz-
ems of counties throughout
the state in (which there
is no city of any considerable
size, all of the voting places close
at 8 O'Clock, which means that the
returns viii be pouring in to state
headquarters by 5 or o'clock. These
reports to state headquarters and
news agencies will be relayed by
telegraph to the Times-Recorder, be-
ginning by o'clock, and will be dis
played to the public during the eve
ming.
In anticipation of the results that
will be tabulated tonight the final
claims of the various leading candi-
dates were recalled today as follows:
For Governor
Brown, SO counties.
Hardwick, 103 counties, 254 unit
votes.
Holder, 80 counties, 2O4 unit votes,
Walker, 80 counties, and a chance
of carrying II others that are doubt
full.
For Senator.
Cooper, no claim
Dorsey, 80 counties.
Smith, "a comfortable plurality, if
not a majority"
Watson, no claim

GENERAL HARRIS
OUT FOR Smith
ON ELECTION Eve
P a | m er Convention
Leader Says He is The
Ablest Man

ATLNTA, Sept 8.-Hoke Smith
supporters in Fulton county, as well
as throughout the state, were highly
elated Wednesday morning by the
news that General Walter A. Harris,
of Macon, will vote for Senator
Smith and has given an interview to
the Macon News, which was publish
ed Tuesday afternoon, in support of
the senator's candidacy for re-elec-
ton.
General Harris was one of the main
floor leaders of the Palmer delegates
in the presidential primary conven-
ton held in Atlanta on May 18. He
was one of their spokesmen on the
resolutions committee of the con-
vention and made the speech for the
resolution favored by the Palmer
delegates.
The name of General Harris has
probably been employed more often
in the present campaign, by newspa-
pers fighting Senator Smith, than
the name of any other man in Geor-
gia The effort has been to make 1t
appear that General Harris was fight
ing Senator Smith because the Pal
mer delegates failed to obtain COM
pletely and precisely what they want
ed in the Atlanta convention. The
statement by General Harris in the
Macon News, announcing his support
of Senator Smith, and his belief that
the senator is by far the strongest
candidate against Mr.. Watson, was
hailed by Hoke Smith headquarters
as the eliminating disaster of the
Dorsey campaign.
In addition to the statement BY
General Harris, the Macon News pub
lished on Tuesday afternoon a state
ment by his father, Hon. Nat. +.
Harris, former Governor of Georgia,
declaring his support of Senator
Smith as the ablest of the candidates
offering for the senate and by far
the only one who can possibly insure
the defeat of Mr.. Watson.

bonus. said to run into five figures,
for cancelling the contract they
held for Miss Stewards service
