THE BANNER, THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 7, tttfi. PAGE SEVEN 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.
