Tall, thin Candidate Russell harped on the 396,000,000 Federal dollars which have rolled into Georgia, assailed his opponent as a dictator who ruled the State by militia, described him as a pawn of Yankee capitalists plotting to break up the Democratic Party. Russell played for all it was worth the revelation before the Senate lobby investigating committee that John J.

He was three times Premier under the Monarch", and, after King Alfonso fled, escorted Queen Victoria Eugenie to the train and saw her safely out of Madrid. Last week proud Count Romanones was let out of a San Sebastian jail, reputedly after making "charitcble contributions" of 2,000,000 pesetas ($260,000).
