More than twelve thousand county

increase CT approximately fifty per-
cent over the number printed for

cratic congressional nominee, will be
easy victors. All county candidates
on the democratic ticket will win
hy the usual majority. Governor Cox

Eugene Hamilton, who claims the
republican county craftsmanship, ex
pressed the following opinion:
That the democratic majority in
Grady county will be materially de-
creased, probably resulting in the
election of J. w. Spealie to the Of
