J COBB WILL NOT BE
IDIDATE FOR OFFICE U. S. SENATE
Beyond a doubt Judfc Andrew J.
Cobb la tbs choice of the people of
Georgia for the office of United
States senate to succeed Senator
-Hardwick-
For months past. Judge Cobb has
been solicited and urged to allow the
use of hie naifce as a candidate for
office to the highest council In the
nation by people from all sections of
the state and from all walks of life.
To their beseeching and proff .r of
support he has declined to become
a candidate.
The following from the Walton
News Indicates the high esteem in
whidh Judge Cobb is held by the
people of the Western Circuit as a
jurist and,a oSthten:
“Keep Judge Cobb on the Circuit.
"In some sections of the state the
uame of Judge Andrew J. Cobb has
been prominently mentioned In con
nection with the office of United
States senate, and hundreds of his
admiring trlende, fully confident of
nls ability to fill the place, hare ex
pressed a desire to rote for him for
that exalted position and will,
uoubt. Insist upon him making for
mal announcement of his candidacy
real soon.
"On the other band, it Is the opin
ion of hundreds of the best people In
this section—throughout the Western
Judicial Circuit—that Mr. Cobb's re
tirement would be a very unfortunate
step indeed. Not since the organ
ization of tho Western Circuit has
there been a man more eminently
qualified or one .that has - given
greater or more general satisfaction
than Judge Cobb. He, In our optn-
,on, can do more and lasting good as
the presiding officer of this circuit
than he could do us in the United
States senate and, while our deep
esteem , for: the excellent gentleman
that' he is, prompts ua in a desire to
see him reach the highest pinnacle
of success and honor, because of his
capacity and worthiness, we are ot
the candid opinion that, for the pres
ent at least, his duty is to the peo
ple of the Western Judicial Circuit
and we believe Uje^ people of this
circuit in which he is so generously
esteAned, should keep him on the
bench yet awhile."
Judge Cobb Replies to Letter.
There appeared in the Atlanta
ply to yours of January IS. I appre
ciate sincerely tbe kind expressions
contained 'ih your letter in reference
to tbe suggestion that I become a
candidate for the position ot United
States senator. I desire to say, how-
ever, that it is utterly impossible (or
a number of reasons for ms to con
sider for one moment becoming a can
didate tor this position. Under no
circumstances will I be c candidate
Constitution yesterday a letter from for this position or permit the use of
Judge .Cobb addressed vto Mr. JH. C.J.mx jiaBie for
Bennett in which the Judge declines | “I have been very much gratified
absolutely to become a candidate for by a number of letters that I have
the office of United States senate.
The letter follows:
The Letter.
“Athens, Ga., Febi 2, 1918.
"Mr. M. C. Bennett, Atlanta, Ga.;
"My Dear Matt: Official engage-
received from personal friends like
yourself ahd also from others with
whom I have no personal acquain
tance, but 1 have no desire for any
ether office in the gift of the people
ot Georgia than the one that I now
ments have prevented an earlier re- hold.
"With best wishes and sincere re
gard, yaws very truly,
(Signed)
“ANDREW J. COBB."
