Vote For Senator (By the Associated Press) Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 17—With rain in several sections, Georgia voters were casting their ballots today in a special Democratic primaky to nomi- nate a successor to the late United States Senator Thomas E.

George—made last minute claims of the support of the “loyal fifty thousand followers of Watson, the ‘sage of McDuffie county.’” Mrs. William H. Felton-the first woman United States senator, will end her term when the nominee of the special primary is elected in the general election November 7. She publicly endorsed the candidacy of Gov.

Consummation of such ‘a merger would mean fullfillment of the plans of James J, Hill, “Empire Builder of the Northwest,” whose dream of a single system through the consoli- dation of the three railroads was blocked by dissolution of the North- ern Securities company by court ac- tion of the federal government.
