Rural County
Vote Results
Hard Jolt
Ta|madge
Majority Is More Than
S to l For President
Roosevelt


Donalsonville, Cain the ma
tons first presidential primary
test, Democratic voters of this rural
Georgia county Wednesday called
for the denomination of President
Franklin D. Roosevelt over his arch
critic, Governor Eugene Talmadge.
The expression came through
ballots cast in overwhelming num-
bers by voters of Seminole county
in the extreme southwest corner of
Georgia, for the present occupant
of the White House to be renamed
by the Philadelphia convention.
In a primary without binding re-
suit, the first unofficial returns
gave Us votes for Roosevelt and
1876 for Talmadge.
The Donalsonville precinct voted
I297 for Roosevelt and three for
Talmadge, i'll unofficial early re-
turns.
News of the trend brought ex-
pressions of surprise in politica
circles in Atlanta, in view of the
fact that only Tuesday another
county, Pierce, called off a presi-
Dental primary.
II hadn't heard about it," said
Governor Talmadge in Atlanta, II
doubt if the Talmadge folks had
much chance to get out and vote"
Marion Allen, Georgia campaign
manager for Mr.. Roosevelt, hailed
the Seminole result "as evidence of
what the voters throughout the
State would do" if a statewide pri-
mary were called.
II wish to congratulate and ex-
press my sincere appreciation to the
loyal Democrats of Seminole coun-
ty in giving our great President
such a wonderful and overwhel-
ming victory" Allen said.

Poet, Dead Many Years,
Helping Couples To Wed

to provide dowrie or dots" for
young women whose marriages
might be impeded for lack of dow
ries under the prevailing French
custom.
West Baton Rouge parish, perpet-
uating tradition and following the
terms of his will has distributed
the interest accumulated from the
fund to dowries to II brides in the
latest apportionment. Only the in
terest is used, the principal remain
ing intact.
Parish authorities refused to d.
vulge the amounts each young
bride received toward her dowry.
Poydras' reasons for leaving the
fund are legendary and varied. One
story hat the girl he loved died
before he accumulated enough
money to marry her.

1913 MILLIONS
BONUS ASKED

Washington-Bonus applications
already before the Veterans Bureau
total approximately 993 million
dollars, a check-up has revealed.
The applications range from a
maximum of a little more than
$500 down to $125.
Veterans Bureau officials re-
ported they were almost swamped
with work as a result of the thous-
ands of applications pouring in
daily. So far as they were able
to determine from the CORES
pondence, most of the soldiers in
tend to cash their bonus in full.
Up to the present, the applications
have averaged around $50 each.
The government printing presses
have already started turning out
the bonus payment certificates,
and officials said they were doing
everything possible to expediate the
work. The Treasury has an
nounced plans are being formu-
lated to pay off quickly the SOL
diers' certificates, and it is ex-
pected that when they go out the
veterans will encounter little diff
ficulty in getting their money.
Under existing plans, the bonus
certificates will be shipped by the
government to the Federal Reserve
banks in the various reserve dis
tricrs and given out by those in
situations.

Presidenf Roosevelt told bis press
he had a general dis
cussion on unemployment at lunch
con with Secretaries Roper and
Perkins, and Major George Berry,
co-ordinator for industrial coop
Grafton, and limited that further
talks would be held.
Asked about the A. F. of L. re-
port, he observed that employment
always dropped off in January.
In another official quarter it was
said the whole problem was ex-
plored with a view possibly" to-
ward seeking a new angle of at
tack.
As to next years relief budget,
Mr.. Roosevelt said it was based
only upon taking car of needy
employables, indicating that States
would be expected to continue car
ing for unemployables.
The relief request he added, will
be forwarded to Congress some
time between March 10 and March
10. In his tax message today, the
