Georgia Gubernatorial Primary in Early December
Special to The Banner. Atlanta Oct 2. Chairman W C Wright says he will exit a meeting within a week after Governor Hoke Smith files his resignation, expected mid October, with the primary likely set around December 6. Candidates for governor include R B Russell, J Pope Brown, and Jos M Brown. Labor commissioner contenders are Lee Smith and Joseph McCarthy. Discussion includes whether the primary should also express a presidential preference for Democrats. Governor Brown, campaigning quietly from Kimball House, denies pro prohibition split while Russell and Brown supporters frame the issue as local self government and prohibition’s dominance. Potential pro prohibition entrant Dr G Hardman is unlikely.
