A
HOT CONTEST IN GEORGIA
Today
the Campaign There Enters
Upon Its Final Week.
Atliintn, Ja., Sept.. 1. Today the
Democratic primary campaign in Geor
gia, which has been . one the most
fiercely contested that this State lias
seen in yeurs, enters uisin its final
week. One week from today the voters
will go to the polls, to express their
preferences for United States senators,
representatives In Congress, aud candi
dates for the different State offices,
including the governorship. A pecnliur
feature of the campaign ties In the fact
that in the contests for the principal
offices, Including the United States
senatorship and the governorship, as
well as for. represenn'es In Con
gress, the onUu?!!! fssues have
national questions. All of the candi
dates are either for or against Presi
dent -Wilson nd in support of or op
posed to his League of . Nations plan,
Four candidates are In the field for
the nomination for United States sena
tor. Senator Hoke Smith is seek to suc
ceed himself. He is opposed by Thomas
E.t Watson, formerly a Populist leader,
by Governor Hugh Dorsey, and - by
John R. Cooper of MHeon. Senator
Smith Is standing on his record iiv re
gard to the League of Nations. He sup
ported reservations even those pro
posed by Senator Lodge and he de
clares his unalterable opposition to the
covennnt " which , President Wilson
brought back from Versailles. -
The opponents of Senator Smith at
tack blm chiefly for his attldude dur
ing the League fight and because he
voted for the Lodge reservations. Tom
Watson is against the League and Is
bitter in his criticism of the Wilson
administration and its conduct of the
war. He is especially bitter against
conscription and also against espionage
and sedition laws,
Hugh Dorsey, who is serving his
term in the governorship, indorses the
Wilson administration, and strongly
advocates the League of Nattons agree
ment. John R. Cooper, the fourth candi
date for the RciifitoriAl nomination, is
against' the League of 'Nations, and in
addition has declared for a mollifica
tion of the Volstead acf so as to permit'
the sale of light wirfes and beer.
In the race for governor. President
Wilson and the League of Nation are
jio less an issue than in the contest for
the senute. There are three candidates
former United States Senators Hard-J
wick, John W. Holder; Speaker of the
Georgia house or representatives, and
Clifford Walker, former attorney-
general of the State, t
Kx-Seuator . Hardwlck Is bitterly
an tl-Wilson and antt-League. Holder
has endeavored1 to confine "himself
largely to State Issues, hut he has de
clared for the League of Nations along
the Hues proposed by Governor Cox,
the presidential nominee. Walker is an
out-and-out. supporter of the Wilson ad
ministration and the Lengue of
Nations. " ' ' -
The result of the presidential pri
mary held last ' April indicated :a
majority 'sentiment among ' Georgia
Democrats in opposition to President
Wilson and the Leagne'1 of 'Nations.
Attorney Gereral A. Mitchell Palmer,
running on a platform indorsing the
President and the- League of Natious,
received about 48,000 votes in the pri
mary. Senator Hoke Smith, running as
'favorite, son and opposing the
President's policy with regard to the
League of Nations received 47,000 votes.
while Thomas li. at son, running on a
platform opposed to the Wilson ad
ministration and to any League ofNn-J
tloua received iH.OOfr votes. Thus the
anti-Wilson and anti-League vote cast
for Smith and Watson was more than
double the Wilson and League vote
cast for Palmer. The present contests,
however, are complicated by other Is
sues and personalities, so ft Is difficult
to predict the outcome of the voting
