SECRETARY OF 8TATE AND
GOVERNOR NOT IN ACCORD
Atlanta, Nov. 16.—As matters now
stand, Secretary of State S. G. Mc
Lendon will, he says, refuse to sign a
commission tor Senator Walter F.
George or attach to a commission the
great Seal of State, regardless of the
fact that Governor Hardwick has Is
sued Instructions that the election re
turns be canvassed and the commis
sion signed and delivered to Senator
* George “without delay.”
There are three technicalities In
volved In the position taken by Sec
retary McLendon, all of which, are
clearly designed to delay the commls-
alonlng of Senator George solely. In
order that Mrs. William H. Felton may
be sworn In, and In face of the fact
that the financial clerk of the United
States Senate, Charles F. Pace, takes
the position that the day of the "elec
tion" determines the time of tho ap
pointment
Secretary McLendon asserts that so
tar as he Is officially concerned, there
has as yet been no election held in
Georgia, since, be has no "official” In
formation to that effect; that the board
of canvassers, of which ho Is a mem
ber, has not met canvassed the re
turns and declared the result and no
eommlrslon can be Issued until It
does, nor can the board meet until
every county In the state has filed Its
returns with the governor, which has
not been done; then, third, that he
will refuse to sign or seal a commis
sion for Senator George that Is not of
ficially signed by the governor In per
son after the canvassers have declared
the result.
