Atlanta, May 24.—Gene Tahnadge
walked into the state capitol last
week for the first time since he left
the governor's seat on Jan. 8, 1937.
Trailing him was his son, Herman,
who carried a cigar box under his
arm. The box did not contain cam
paign aigars, but $350 in small bills
and change, contributed by friends
of the former governor. The money
was used to pay his entrance fee and
qualify him as a candidate for the
U. S. Senate in the Democratic pri
mary Sept. 14.
Before departing from Capitol HiTl
the former governor called on the
present governor. The highlight ot
their rather brief conversation ran
something like this:
Rivers: "Gene, folks have been
saying—and I’ve been reading in the
newspapers—that you were going to
entice me into the Semre race, then
back out in favor of Sen. George.”
Talmadge: “Ed, did you ever hear
of my backing down on anything 1
said I was going to do?”
•Rivers: “No, I never did, Gene.”
