Entering the reception' room, section will enter the field, ren
where the reporters were assem
bled awaiting his statemi nt, he
said:
“Well, you can state for me that
I have decided to make the race
for the v unexpired terjn. of the
late Senator A. 0. Bacon.”
Only a few minutes before this
announcement Senator W. S.
West, on the eve of his departure
to Washington .to resume his, du
ties there, had met the newspa
per men .and had told them he
‘ would not be a candidate..
The withdrawal of Senator
West and the • announcement of
the Governor did not come in the
nature of a surprise. Frida-y.Gov.
Slaton-stated) that his decision de
pended upon Senator West and
that if the senator ran he would
not be in the race and that he
would give the South Georgian
his support.
Senator West decided today,
however, that he could not get
the united support of the sputh-
ern part of the state and under
.. the. circumstances, he could not
expect to run* Without quitting his
duties at the. Capitol and devoting
his entire attention to his race
here. Senator West has always
been noted for' sticking to his
, post and he felt that the situation
at Washington was such that he
could nor spare, enough time for
his campaign in Georgia. In his
statement tonight he said that he
did not make the race mainly be
cause he lacked the support of
South Georgia.
Gov- Slaton declared that he
hac no formal announcement to
make at present. Later on he
'would make a statement covering
his position, he said.

dering the situation still more
complicated—to sueceed would
require the greatest effort and
my presence much of the time
from my duties in Washington, I
have come to the conclusion noi
to enter the race.
“This is no wail of Jeremaid
sent up because many of the peo
ple of South Georgia seem reluc
tant to unite in my support. They
have their preferences, and un
der a free democratic representa
tive government, must maintain
tha right to exercise them. Yet
I wish to say, without -reference
t6 myself, that if South Georgia
is ever to fill with any of her fa
vored sons the high places in the
state the people must get togeth
er. They should'remember, too
it takes time td grow statesmen.
“South Georgia is a great sec
tion with marvelous.possibilities,
and I trust the people will.-be
equal to the great destiny that
seems to await them.
In declining to enter the race
for the Senate I wish to say I
have, made no promise that influ
ences me in arriving at this con
clusion.

my deep appreciation to the peo*-
pie all over Geoi gia for their gen
erous offer of support.’
