Will Congressman Gordon Lee, of the Seventh District, have opposition In the next race? If so,who will be tho man? It has been the general opin ion that Judge Mose Wright, of the Rome circuit, would oppose Congress man Lee, but it is stated upon very good authority now that Judgo Wright will retain the Judgeship. The latest rumor is that Scab Wright will be Lee's opponent. But, on the other hand, It is said that the eloquent Ro- i man’s ambition is to succeed Senator 8teve Clay. Developements are ex pected in the district In a very short time now, and the knowing ones say some surprises are In store.—Dally Georgian. The papers of the district, and even some of the big dallies, are suggest ing this one and that one running for 1 Congress against Hon. Gordon Lee, the present incumbent. We want to stop I our big cylinder press long enough to | say that the fellow who wants to keep j his scalp had better let Gordon Lee alone. A large majority of the peo- j pie of the Seventh Congressional Dis trict are entirely satisfied with his service and intend to keep him in Congress.- Buchanan Tribune. There has been some intimation here of late that Hon. Gordon Lee, Congressman from this the Seventh congressional district, would, in all! probability, have opposition in the next congressional primary. Mr. Lee 1 has made and is making the people * of his district a faithful servant, ami I as “at presont advised," we fall to see where a change Is necessary to be | agitated. So far,Congressman Lee has exerted every effort to serve his dis- ' trlct well and faithfully.—Bremen Gateway. PRIMARY ELECTION.
