4 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. SATl'RDAV, AUnVHT 3. 130a, M^SEHQftLETO RUN FOR BUM'S JOB New Richmond in Field for Court of Ap peals. Hon. T. K. Maseengale, of Warren county, wrote a friend at the state capita! Saturday that he was Jn the race for railroad commissioner and was aure to win. Mr. Mnssengale was one of the most earnest supporters of Hon. Hoke Smith In the recent contest. Hon. Jesse Mercer, of Fitzgerald, Is also spoken of In this connection. Hon. Pope Brmvn, It Is said, does not again aspire to the position. For appellate court Judgeships, the names of Judge James K. Hines, of Fulton; Hon. Kmeraon George, of Mor gan; Hon. W. A. Covington, of Col quitt, and Hon. Hooper Alexander, of DeKalb, ore being variously discussed. These were aJJ ardent supporters of the -overner-to-be, and many think the convention will make Its selections of three from this list. The convention will alK> very likely nominate a can didate for railroad commissioner. If these contests go Into the con vention, which is very probable, there will be more interest In the conven tion than was at first thought after the landslide occurred. The state chairmanship Is also an other interesting proposition for the convention to settle. It was hinted nt the capitol today that a contest from McDuffie was on the tapis.
