" lanta, brother of Representative Til:
" son of Connecticut, house republi--
) can leader, has stirred up a rumpusl
'1 in the Georgia congressional delega- !
tion, headed by Senators Harris an
George. ’
Both have protested to Presideml
Coolidge and Attorney General Sar- '
gent against the selection and ar?
_~determined to'make a vigomv‘!
fight against confirmation of his
nomination by the senate. ‘
“It it nothing short of an autrage
that a man in Connecticut can lli."-i
tate the appointment of a fadera
judge in Georgia,” Harris zaid. "
Both senators made clear that tho:-“
held nothing against Tilson’s char
¢ acter, but based their objections up"
on the fact that he lacks necessary
legal experience for the judgeshipl
and lives outside the new districs
They said he was not actively en
gaged in the practice of law for ¢
number of years. '
The Senators also understood thafi
b Walker Akerman of Cartersville has
been selected as marshall and B. S,
Beaver of Macon, as district attou |
