Prey On Candidates In Orangeburg As echoes of the county campaign are heard, every once and a While an interesting experience is related. A candidate who was opposed by only one running mate was approached by a voter ftt one of the meetings. The votpr informed the candidate that he ifraa working hard in the candidate's behalf, and rsferred to two friends who were equally as active. It was suggested that the candidato in return might buy dinner for the three. The various candidates will tell you of the numerous such Instances. The next day at aaother meeting, tho same candidate was approached by thesame fellow. Again the candidate was impressed with the work which was being done for him. don't mind buying you fellows dinner," the candidates replied, "but -are you sure you are, doing everything possible for supporter informed hlxn that such was *the case, and volunteered the information that be and his friends were interested.. lu the '^apdfdacy of only two office-seekers.

Jr., claimed tonight to have smashed Governor Eugene Tulmadge and New Deal oppoaltlon In Georgia In a bitterly-contented Democratic senatorial primary. In a statement, Issued at 9:30 p. nr., Ruaaell claimed a sweeping victory. Returns, still Incomplete from 111 of thq state's )W counties at that time gave him a two-to-one lead over his red-suspeudered opponent. "Words are Inadequate to express my gratitude for the great victory," Russell said. "It makes me feel very humble;. Georgia spoke today, and as always In Democratic toues. This pverwhelmtng vote expresses the confidence of the people In Georgia In President Roosevelt ?and the Democratic party,, aud, their determination to go forward with his progressive program in building u greater country." Talmadge, scanning returns at a downtown hotel, refused comment ex-^ cept to say: "I'm a long ways from conceding." Talmadge headquarters pointed out that the governor trailed in early bullotting two years ago, only to come from behind for victory. Repudiation of the bigger anti-New Deal tirades of Talmadge appeared to be reflected in the gubernatorial race where staunch administration supporter Kd. D. Rivers was piling up a growing lead over Charles D. Redwine. Redwlne wears the Talmadge red suspenders and Is pledged to Talmadge policies. Russell's claims to have gained a sweeping victory were given authority when the first 11 counties to report complete tabulation's under Georgia law, nomination requires a majority of county unit votes. Incomplete tabulations of 111 of the states 159 counties as Russell claimed victory gave: Popular vote: Russell?62,014 Talmadge?26,080. Returns from 104 counties In the gubernatorial race gave: Rivers?37,060. Redwlne?14,478. Defeat of Talmadge, the man who early this year threatened to lead "2,000,000 discontented Democrats" out of the party because of antagonism to the New Deal, would crush the last vestige of organized opposition to the national admlnlstrationjn the Deep South. M V Administration stalwarts o n smashing victories In both Carollnas, Arkansas, Alabama, Tennessee . and Mississippi. Huey Long Is dead and Louisiana bosses have made peace with the administration. Only Talmadge remained as a potential threat to the traditional Democratic solidarity of the South. Return to Charlotte Homt Mr. and Mrs. B.* C.
