South Georgia Statesman Says
. . '
He Will Abide Wishes of the
‘Home Folks.’
- A direct statement that he will be
a candidate for the unexpired term
of Senator Bacon if the people of
South Georgia want him to run was
made to The Georgian by United
States Senator William 8. West, when
he arrived in Atlanta from Wash
ington F¥Friday on his first trip home
since his appointment as temporary
Senator by Governor Slaton.
Senator West is stopping at the
Winedoff Hotel, where he will re
main until late Friday night, when
he will leave for his home in Val
dosta.
~ Senator West said he had returned
to Georgia to determine the senti
‘ment of his section of the State, re
garding the Senatorial race. -
~ Wishes to Learn Public Opinion.
~ “I intend to definitely find out,” he
said, “whether the people of my part
of the State want me to enter the
race. If I find that the sentiment of
'South Georgia favors my candidacy,
I will undoubtedly become a candi
date for Senator Bacon's term. My
final decision will depend upon what
I can learn of the situation during
my stay in Valdosta and other parts
of South Georgia.”
Senator West said ne expects (o
return to Atlanta next Saturday, a
week from to-morrow, and will then
zo back to Washington to resume his
duties in the Senate. It is expected
that when he returns to Atlanta he
will have decided whether he will
enter the race this fall
Senator West's entry into the race,
which is now regarded as practically
certain in view of his statement Fri
day, further complicates the political
situation,
Would Not Oppose Slaton.
If he runs, it is regarded as vir
tually certain that Governor Slaton
will not be a candidate, and if the
Grovernor decides to enter the race,
it is expected that such a move would
result in the withdrawal of Senator
West, who said Ariday that under
no circumstandes would he run
against Governor Blaton. In other
words, both will not run. Senator
West also sald that there is no like
lihood that he will keep out of the
race this year and run against Sen
ator Hoke Smith,
