M'ADOO'S GEORGIA MANAGER
THANKS LOYAL FRIENDS FOR
AID IN SWEEPING VICTORY
Mr. Bell Praises Newspapers
for Their Courageous Sup
port Women's Vote Is
Declared a Big Factor

Miller S. Bell, state campaign
manager for William G. McAdoo
has issued the following statement
on the result of Wednesdays pref
erential primary in Georgia:
''Mr McAdoo has swept the state
in one of the greatest victories in
Georgia history. Every prediction
issued from our headquarters is
more than fulfilled. We are gratified
beyond expression.
From start to finish we made a
clean fight and ran q clean cam
paign in keeping with the dignity
raised no question as to Senator
Underwood ability or integrity. On
the contrary in every piece of liter
allure emanating from our head
quarters we spoke of Senator Under
wood as clean and able man. We
did not send a dollar to a county
in Georgia to help carry the coun-
~. We hope and believe the day is
past in Georgia when hired political
bush beaterS can influence the re-
suit Of an election.
eve are grateful to the friends
of Mr.. McAdoo for the fine, cour-
ageous, sportsmanlike manner in
which they made their fight all
down the line.
1--WE are grateful to the newspa-
pers which had the courage to come
ont and support him on principle
regardless of the outcome. In this
connection, as manager of the cam
paign headquarters of Mr.. McAdoo,
/ wish to make special mention OF
The Atlanta Journal and it's prince
ly editor, Major John S. Cohen. The
Journal has always been found fight
ing on the side of progress, and in
This campaign it's banner floated in
the vanguard of the battle.
Georgia has given her native son,
whose public service is a credit to
his state, magnificent vote of con-
fidence. Georgia women have given
a splendid vindication of their right
to the ballot. [ believe at least ninety
per cent of the votes of women were
cast for Mr.. McAdoo, because OF
his record Of support Of prohibition,
of woman suffrage, of child labor
legislation, and of other great moral
reform measures.
Mud-Slingers Rebul1ed
Georgia has given her answer to
| the attempt by discredited Re
| publican administration to besmirch
| the good name of a clean man and
a great Democrat whose private life
and public service are above re-
proach. She has given it in tones
! that will ring throughout the ma
would not be influenced against him
by the discreditable attempts to EN-.
ploy this Republican propaganda in
Democratic scandal mongers in
Georgia have been completely re.
pudiated.
"Georg;a's verdict today elimi.
mates Senator Underwood as a so
| called southern candidate. We have
said all along that his candidacy
was confined to Alabama. We pre-
dict that other southern states will
follow Georgia's lead and send to
the New York convention in June
a solid southern phalanX which will
join with the west and nominate
McAdoo as democracy's standard
bearer.
"A Georgia Democrat is destined
for the White House for the first
time in the history Of the republic,
and every loyal Georgian has a
right to feel proud"
UNDERWOOD MANAGERS
STATEMENT ON RESULTS
The following statement was given
out from the headquarters of Senator
Oscar w. Underwood:
4a0 +
Georgia has been lost to Senator Tn.
derwood by the clever intriguing of
Mr.. McAdoo's forces with the
Knights of the Ku Klux Khan. I'm
mediately after Mr.. McAdoos state
ment of his position on the khan at
Macon, Ca. four days bfore the pri-
mary, Mr.. NJ. o. Dunning, chief of
staff Of the Realm of Georgia of
the Invisible Empire of the knights
of the Ku I<lux Khan. issued an Off
cial statement declaring that Mr.. Nc
Adoo's position was perfectly ac-
ceptable to the khan. Whereupon
the khan in Georgia, in which state it
originated and where it's national
headquarters is now located, threw
it's complete strength and it's entire
organization to the support of Mr..
McAdoo, and succeeded in defeating
Senator Underwood in Georgia.
1.-The male membership of the khan
in Georgia is estimated to be 100000;
add to that the voting strength of
their families and the result in Geor-
gia is easily understood.
