Am a matter of fact the O'Don lei majority to one of the smallest B. W. atM* on record In 1908 Governor Campbell, seeking a second term, was given 88% of the vote la the Democratic primary la 1911 Governor Colquitt, seeking hie second term, was given 45% of the primary vote In 1918 James E Ferguson, who was at that time less than one year removed from impeachment, was given 17% of the primary vote In 1922 Fat Neff was given 44% of the primary vote. In 1928 Dan Moody received 80% of the vote to the primary, and in 19.14 James V. Allred received 41% of the vote in the primary Governor O’Dantol received •bout 44% of the vote this year Only on two occasions has a governor failed to receive a majority in the firat primary, and on both occasions the governor was defeated in the second primary. Mrs. Ferguson sought a second nomination in 1998, after havtng served only one term, but was defeated by Dan Moody Ross Sterling sought a second nomination tn 1992, after havtng served only one term, and was defeated by Mrs Ferguson. The campaign did clarify a few issues It would seem that Mr 0’Daniel't campaign personality and homely philosophy are more important than his band for the very good reason that several of the candidates used hill-billy bands Another issue growing out of the election is worthy of note Mr ODomel’i followers jubilantly proclaim that as soon as he gets control of- the boards and commissions whose members have over lapping terms there will be a general house dean Ing. His opponents charge that when he gets eon trel of these boards and commissions there will be a house cleaning Due to the agreement of friend* and foe* on thia issue there will deubtleee be a great turnover In the employ*** of these agencies It eheuld not be assumed, however, that this is unusual.
