Atlanta, July 13.—The Georgia
senate today passed the Harris reso
lution asking Governor Smith to
withdraw all appointments whose
torms of office begin after Decem
ber. Senator Shepherd, of the
Smith faction, contended that the

request.
The resolution, which was intro
duced by Senator Harris yesterday
and was laid on the table until to
day, was as follows:
Harris Resolution.
Whereas, Governor Joseph M.
Brown sent to the senate for con
firmation no nominations of Judi
cial or other officers whose terms of
office would begin after the expira
tion of his term as governo/, and
yrhereas. The senate would not
have confirmed such nominations
had they been sent to the senate by
Governor Brown, and
Whereas, Governor Smith has this

'senator from Georgia, and his term
as senator should begin immediately
after his election, and
Whereas. There has not been ^

Whereas, One vote in the United
