JOSEPH M. TERRELL IS
NAMED U. S. SENATOR.
Atlanta. Ga., Nov. 19. —Sena-
tor Joseph M. Terrell was the
recipient of countless congratu
lations and good wishes yester
day on his appointment to the
United States senate to succeed
Mr. Clay.
The telephone in his office in
the JDnglish-Ameriean building
was constantly ringing, and
friends from Atlanta and others
from over the state who were in
Atlanta, assured him of their
good wishes.
In the hundreds of telegrams
and letters which reached him
were numbers of messages from
meuvbers of the newly-elected
legislature assuring him that they
would be found in the trenches
fighting for him, if there was a
contest before the legislature next
e mm me r.
These pledges of support cairn
voluntarily, he said, Irotn both
Brown and Smith men, and he
was naturally delighted at thus
early having his friends rally to
his support. Among the com
munications were a number from
meu who supported Mr. Smith in
three campaigns, who said that
they would be for Mr. Terrell for
senator, though they were frank
for Mr. Smith for governor.
Mr. Terrell stated that he expect
ed to abide by the dictum of the ;
Atlanta platform, which declared
for primary elections for public
officers.
“1 am in the fight for the re
mainder of the term of Senator
Clay, whatever direction the con
test takes” said Senator Terrell,, 5
but I naturally assume that the
present state executive committee
will carry out the mandate of the
Atlanta platform, which reiter
ated the declaration in the Macon
platform of 190tl, calling for a
primary vote for United States
senator.”
If a primary for senator is!
called, as has been intimated, the
legislature, when it meets next
summer, will have nothing to do
but record the verdict of the
people in that primary. Other-,
wise the legislature will take up
the question de novo and select
the junior senator from Georgia
to serve until March 8, 1915.
Senator Terrell, in explaining
way he looked for a primary to j
be culled, said:
“The convention which met in
Atlanta September first to nomi
nate Mr. Smith for governor,
adopted a plank which was very
similar to that in the Macon
platform. In the latter plat-,
iorm, adopted September 4, 1900,
it was said :
“ ‘ We, the representatives of
the democracy of Georgia, in con
vention assembled, therefore do
row resolve and declare as fol
lows: “We declare it to be the
policy of the democratic party
of Georgia that hereafter all
primary elections for United
States senator, state house offi
w i
cers, supreme court judge and
appellate court judges, should
such latter court be created, shall
be by direct popular vote Tin
candidate who, upon the consoli
dation of the vote throughout the
entire state, receives a majority
of all the votes cu«t, shall be de
clared the nominee of the party
for that office etc.’ ”
“The Atlanta platform, adopted
on September first last, says:
‘We felicitate the people Georgia
upon the fact that many of the
principles of the Macon platform,
adopted September 4, 1906 have
alteady been enacted into law,
and under the wise operation of
these laws, the state has pros
pered to an unprecedented extent
. . . . We urge the impor
tance of selecting by direct vote
of the people, the nominees for
public office, and we condemn all
methods which make it possible
for such selection to be made by
convention vote, instead of by
vote of the people.’
“Under this mandate” I pre
sume the state executive com
mittee named at that convention
will call a primary some time
within the next seven months for
the selection of a senator.”
Senator Terrell announced de
finitely that he will not name a
private secretary for the approach
i ing session of congress. He will
| defer that until later, and con
sider in the meantime, the various
applications and suggestions made
to him of a vice senator.
He will take to Washington
with him this winter B. A. Lov
vorn. formerly of Carroll county,
who has been his clerk for several
years; and J. G. Perry of Mitchell
county, who was for a number of
years private secretary to Rep
sentative James M. Griggs, of
! the second Georgia district. Mr.
■ Perry was one of the secretaries
at the Joseph M. Brown head
quarters during the recent state
campaign, and did effective work
for the present governor.
TERRELL WANTS PRIMARY
TO ELECT U. S, SENATOR"
Atlanta, Nov. 21.—1 tis hardly
probable that a state primary
will be culled to elect a senator to
succeed the late A. S. Clay. In
an interview published Saturday
morning Senator Terrell, newly
appointed for the interim, says he
expects the state executive com
mittee to carry out the mandate
of the Atlanta platform calling'
for a direct primary for senator, |
tho he feels confident he would be
elected by the general assembly
in case that method is used.
Politicians friendly to Hoke
Smith maintain there is no
precedent for a special primary in
such a case, and point out that
the apparent Smith majority in
the assembly would naturally
cause a desire by the Terrell con
stituency for a primary. They
point out further that as the
state Democratic executive com
mittee is solidly a Hoke Smith
body it. can hardly be expected to
call a primary which would force]
Mr. Smith to make a race before j
the people for what they consider
already won before the legislature.
The mention of Congressman
Hardwick’s name as a candidate
before the legislature keeps bob
bing up, tho it is believed certain
that Mr. Hardwick would not
offer for a position acceptable to ]
Hoke Smith, a warm friend
Some of Mr. Smith’s other friends j
intimate that an effort is being
made to drag a third candidate
into the contest before the legis
lature in order to create a possi
ble deadlock.
Senator Terrell says he will n >t
name a secretary for the approach
ing congress. B. A. Lovvoru,
who has been his clerk for several j
years, will accompany him to |
Washington, as will J. G. Perry, j
former secretary of the late Con
gressman James M. Griggs. ->>

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, NOVEMBER, 24. 1910
TELEGRAPH WILL
REBUILD AT ONCE.
Macon, Ga., Nov. 19. The
Telegraph on yesterday purchas
ed from Miss Amelia Horne, their
! former quarters, the lot and
building at]4s2 Cherry street,
and immediately put under way
the plan of rebuilding. It is in
tended that a splendid modern
newspaper office shall be erected
at once.
The plans call for a marble
front, designed to properly show
off the newspaper’s ownership,
and the two floors will be fitted
up with commodious and well
lighted offices for the business
and news departments.
The lot is 210 feet deep, and
in the rear of this lot there will
be erected a strictly tire-proof
building especially for the me
chanical departments of the pa
per. In this fire-proof annex
will be arranged all of the ma
chines, presses and composing
and mailing rooms, and every
effort will be made to completely
remove the possibility of a lire.
Massive brick ]walls wall form'
the outer guard, while the in
terior such as the floors, etc.,
will be of steel and concrete.
This fire-proof annex wili be 38x
100 feet, two stories high, and
will be detached from the front
office building.
Suggestion has been made that
a high building should be erect
ed on this lot for newspaper
purposes; but experience teaches
that newspaper buildings best
serve where they are confined to
as few floors as possible. It was
with this special view that The,
Telegraph management saw to j
it that the lot on which the per
manent home was to be erected
was ample for all accommoda
tions to be had on two floors.
A large four-deck Goss press,
equipped with color schemes,
costing $25,000, has been pur
chased, and yesterday a drawing
of the machine was received,
showing how it will look when
finished. The manufacturers re
ceived the order for this machine
immediately after the lire, and
they placed a double force on the
work of erecting it, and expect
to have it ready by the time the i
building is putin readiness to re
ceive it. The picture has been
hung in the front windows of The
Telegraph business office for pub
lic inspection, this to suffice un
til the real article can arrive and
be put into operation and the
house opened to The Telegraph’s
thousands of friends who have
shown so much interest and sym
pathy during her trial'by fire.
The composing room is about i
complete, having been installed
in the News building until the
new building for The Telegraph
can be erected, and until that
time The Telegraph yvi 11 use the
press of the News. Six M<-r
--genthaler linotypes, new and
fresh from the factory, have
been received, and are now
getting out The Telegraph, and
an enormous equipment of the
newest advertising type and ma
terial has been put in.
It is hoped that within the
next three months The Telegraph
shall be able to open the doors of
her new building to the public,
and besides having a house
warming, to show them through
the finest newspaper office and
plant in the southern states.
