GEORGIA RACE
Is SMITH WIN
Regular Gains Deci-
sive Victory Over
Anti-Al

ATLANTA. Ca, Sept. 13.-tF1-
Verdict Of Georgia democrats was for
Smith in the only major race Of the
party primary yesterday in which the
candidacy Of the New York governor
was an outstanding issue.
Congressman Leslie j. Steele, who
stood as a staunch supporter of the
party's ticket from Smith on down,
gained a decisive victory owe w. ID.
Upshaw, bitter foe OF the national
standard bearer. for the congression-
al nomination from the fifth district,
including Atlanta.
The gubernatoriai contest where
both candidates were within their
party limits, saw the apparent re-
nomination Of Governor L. G. Hard
man over the youthful State Senator
Z. d. Rivers.
Representative Steele, who wrested
the sea in the house from Upshaw
two years ago, on the basis of the
popular vote, carried four Of the five
counties in the district and apparent
ly had carried Atlanta, Upshaw's
home. Steele is a resident Of De-
catur.
Issuing a statement expressing sat
isfaction over the result, Steele said
the result in the district indicated
democrats there were true to their
party.
Seventy six precincts out Of ninety
gave Steele a popular vote Of 1854
against 7.110 for Upshaw in IN
official returns. This meant Steele
had 16 county unit votes. the actual
basis of nomination, to two for Up
shaw.
If q candidate has a majority Of
the popular vote in a county, the
complete unit vote for that county
goes to him. The unit vote is twice
the number of state legislators from
that county.
On the basis Of incomplete returns,
Governor Hartman had an indicated
unit vote Of 2SS to 1t2 for his oppo-
nent in the pubcrnatorial RICE.
