Some talk as to who will make the race for Congress ill the third Congressional district is already being indulged in, and the sug gestion as to who, or how many will run is mere speculation at this early stage of the game, T| ie following will be read with interest by the numerous friends of Judge Allen Fort who was in the race three years ago against Congressman Lewis. The Atlanta Constitution says : “Judge Allen Fort, of Americus, is to be a candidate for congress against Mr. Lewis or whoever else may aspire, at the next election. Judge Fort has stated this posi tively to friends throughout the district. lie is very much in the race, and proposes to stay in. Judge Fort was in Atlanta yester day. While he would not discuss politics for publication, an inti mate friend with whom he had talked said: “You are safe in stating it as a fact that Judge Fort will be a candidate for the democratic nomination in the 3rd district, no matter who else may run. There is some talk in the papers of the district about Senator Dodson be ing a candidate in case Congress man Lewis decides that he will not again be a candidate, and there may, of course, be other aspirants. Most people believe Congressman Lewis will himself be a candidate. But lvhoever else may be in it, you can state it as coming from the highest au thority that Judge Fort will be a candidate, will make a thorough canvass of the district, and confi dently expects to be nominated.’’ The Savannah News says: “Judge Allen Fort will be a candi date for congressman in the third district next year, and will oppose Hon. E. B. Lewis, who at present holds the place. For some time past it has been thought judge by nu merous friends of the that he would not run for the place, but it is understood now that he will enter the race and stay in it to the end. Judge Fort is one of the most prominent lawyers in the state. He is well known to the people of Georgia and is high ly regarded by all who know him.” Rheumatism Cured.
