In Atlanta on August 29 political observers discuss why Hoke Smith's defeat was a fluke or chastening, while Brown supporters faulted Brown's campaign. Explanations cite complacency, incumbency prestige, and Brown actions on mine troops and local commissions, with Smith likely to be nominated on the county unit plan in Atlanta September 1. The Elbert county vote remains under congressional review to determine the next congressman for the Eighth District.
