oe Luke down in the
Second, unless it he that the friend*
of the other candidates are not com
ing up this way.
The two or three Sound district
leaders who have been here this
week seemed of the opinion that
Luke was in the lead for Congress.
Possibly those who came along this
week may take the other view, but
rigOit now they have got the cnpitol
to talking Luke with the well
grounded impression that the race is o
between Luke and Judge Frank Park L
of Worth.
This is the only political race of
the year of statewide interest, and
it is being closely watched. Judge
Covington of Colquitt may he get
ting in some hard work, blit little
Is heard of him here. Visitors from
the Second are all talking Luke or
Park.
Tho candidates have only about
two weeks more in which to make'
their canvass as the election will
take place November 5th.
A prominent gentleman of
Thoniasville, who was here last week
declared there was no question about
Luke’s winning. He said he had
been pretty well over the district,
and that he spoke from observation
and not from prejudice.
"I have just been in Decatur,’' he
said, “and from all 1 can hear, Luke
Is sure to carry that county. Some
of those who are opposed to Luke
went so far as to concede to me that
he would get the county. I have
equally strong reports for Luke from
other counties in which I have made
careful inquiry.
“The candidates and their friends
are all busy, and there is little doubt
that the fight will bo carried on ri-’ht
the end of election day.’ ’

Below ig published some of the press comments of the district
and state, showing the character and general ability of Judge Coving
ton to represent the district in Congress.
JOURNAL OF LABOR, October 10, 1913: —
We note from the daily press that there is a race on in
the Second Congressional district for the seat in Congress made va-
cant by the death of Mr. Roddenbery. We have no desire to take
any part In this race, but common justice prompts us to say that Mr.
Covington while a member of the Georgia Legislature, was friendly
to the measures presented by organized labor. This was particularly
manifested in his fight for the factory people and the factory child.
His argument before the committee having in charge the child labor
measure was one 0? the strongest and best ever made In the interest
of that humane law*. The Journal of Labor makes this statement in
justice to Mr,* Covington, not knowing whether in this particularly
race it will be for or against his Interest. Judge Covington is a hold,
fearless man, and on labor measures did no hedging or trimming.

XASHVHiliK HRIIAI.It. October 10, 1913: The Herald believes
the Second Congressional District should send Judge Covington, of
Moultrie, to Washington, as Hoddenbcry’s successor. The fact re
mains that he Is one ot the eleauest and ablest men in Georgia, .if
tho rood people of our houie district know what Is best for them,
they will drop all prejudice and grudges and send Judge Covington
to Congress. We predict his election, anyway, and we expect to see
him become one of tho strongest and most popular members of tin-
and most popular member of the Georgia delegation.
XI11Y KIM, Iterator, Georgia. October 9, 1 !• 13: Judge W. A.
Covington, he of the rosy whiskers and resonant mice, has an
nounced that he Is a candidate for Congress to succeed the late Judge
ltoddenhery. 1 -on Covington Is some stuff and If elected, his district
will have reason to he proud of her representative.
CAItTKILSVIlXK THIBUNK, October 9, 1913: Judge W. A. Cov
ington, who wap reaped at Waleska, in Cherokee County, and who
Is weli known In Cartersville, has announced for Congress, to suc
ceed the late Congressman Roddenbery. Mr. Covington Is well
known all over Georgia and Is an orator who Is to )ie reckoned with
when the issue Is one which must he decided before tho people.
Should the Second District he *o fortunate as to send Judge Coving
ton to Congress they will ha/e a man who will make his mark and
rank along with the greatly beloved Charlie Crisp.
(M'lM/A STAR, October 10,1913: With tile entry of Judge
Park Into the race for Congress, and Hon. Hoscoe Duke and Judge
W. A. Covington already running, things aro beginning to pick up In
the Second. We don’t know so much about the other two, but we
know that if they select Covington, they will have a good man.
TIKTON GAZKTTK, October 10, 1913: Judge W. A. Covington
announces his candidacy for Congress In another column. Judge
Covington has been looked upon no suitable congressional timber fur
a number of years and Is one of the best known men in the District,
and an orator of national reputation, lie made Democratic party
campaign speeches last year til the middle West, and spoke for the
cause of prohibition ln many of the states of tile union. Ills entry
adds considerable zest io the contest and his friends are sure that
lie will make It interesting for Ills opponents.

affairs of the Second District, the Deader would like to see Judge Cov
ington win In the Congressional race, believing that he, of all the
announced candidates, would bn the most worthy successor of Judge
Roddenbery.
COKDKKK ItA.MIlLKlt, October 9, 1913: Judge W. A. Covington
of Moultrie, lias announced lor Congress to succeed the late lamented
3. a. Roddenbery, down ln tho Socond District, and we would love
to he down long enough to vote for him.
Judge Covington Js a high-toned Christian gentleman, of recog
nized ability as a lawyer and debater, and will make a representative
in Congress that the people ln Iho state would ho proud of. We
are saying nothing about the other candidates, but hope they will
elect Judge Covington. V .' fr ^
l’AVO I’KOGllKSS, Oct. 17,1913: The Congressional race Is
drawing near the half way mark, with the candidates still hunched.
This Is the opinion of tile Editor of the Progress.
Of course, from each political camp comes "certain information,"
that Us candidate will win.
The Pavo end of Thomas County, It is believed, will go to Cov
ington. Duke will carry the West end. Over towards Bainbridge,
the race, it Is believed, will be more between Park and Luke. In the
east end of the district, Covington will lead, with Luke second. It fs
believed. With all three of the candidates drawing about the same
amount of support from the norlh end.
If tho Covington tones can get out the vote In the East end of
the District, good and strong, and tho other candidates do not have
BU>b good luck in their strongholds, Covington will win.
The writer of the above. The Pavo Progress, seems not to be
aware of Judge Covington's groat strength ln the western part of the
District, lu Mitchell. Baker, Calhoun, Decatur and Early Counties,
