MANY RACES TO
Be DECIDED BY
WEDNESDAY VOTE
Local Interest In Senatorial Fight
MANY Women Will Cast
Ballot

The voters of Americsu and Sum-
ter county will go to the polls We'd
nesday and cast their ballots for
candidates from governor to execu-
tive committeeman and it is antici-
pated that close to 1900 votes will
be cast in this territory. Chief in-
terest locally centers in the two con-
tests, the gubernatorial race, be-
tween Governor Thomas W. Hard
wick and Clifford Walker and the
senatorial race between Stephen Pace
and Thomas w. Lane
There is every indication that in
the gubernatorial race, Governor
Hardwick will reverse the result of
year ago and will carry the county
over Walker by a substantial mar
gin. In the senatorial race the is
sue is most uncertain, with both can
didates confident Of success.
The polls will open in Americus
at o'clock in the morning and close
at 6 o'clock in the evening. In the
county they will open at 9 and close
at A. The consolidated vote will be
counted at the court house in Ameri-
Gus at noon, Thursday. The results
will be known however late Wednes-
day evening unless a particularly
close race results.
The state ticket produces several
complicated races with j. j. Brown
running for reelection against A. O,
Blalock and o. NJ Houser
There is also three-cornered race
for state school superintendent be-
tween N. H. Ballard, M. l.. Duggan
and Nicholas M. Sowder. There are
two three-cornered affairs in the
race for railroad commissioner and
interest also centers in the fight be-
tween William H. Fish and Richard
B. Russell for chief justice of the
Supreme court.
Charles r. Crisp has no opposi-
tion in his effort to return to corr
gress, and aside from the senatorial
race, r. A. Hines and G. w. Riley
are both in the race to be returned
to the house. They are opposed by
E. F. Bell, C. c. Hawkins. j. Ell
more Poole and Sam A. Rodgers
will be voted upon for county COM
misisoners, two to be elected. The
executive committee of the county
will be elected by the writing in Of
names on the ballot.
1t is expected that considerable
number Of women will cast tier
vote in this election and the effect
they will have on the result of
clcse race is unknown and there Is
nothing upon which to predicate
prophecy.
The complete state ballot follows:
For Governor. Vote for onel--
