J. O. MARTIN, C. 8. C.
TRIBBLE LIKELY
HAVE NO OPPONENT
APPEARS FROM INDICATIONS
AND DEVELOPMENTS THAT
EIGHTH 'DISTRICT CONGRESS
WILL HAVE NO OPPONENT.
Despite the efforts of various parties
throughout the eighth congressional
district it appears that if Samuel J.
fribble, the present congressman, will
have no opposition in his race for re
election late this summer.
One by one the possibilities among
politicians who were thought to be con¬
sidering the race have been weeded
nit. some by deductions and others by
elimination.
The strongest possibility who’ was
thought to he <i-nsidci i--.g 11 • race was
Col. Thomas J. Brown, of . rioti, the
solicitor-general of his judicial circuit.
Several weeks ago when questioned tty
the News. <\ ;. Bro.vn s(;G 1 that he
A’tis considering the aitnouncentu. t of
his candidacy for congress from the
eighth district.^ince then he has made
no statement, which leads political ol>
servers to coueltid:? Civ l t will not
make the race. This view is taken he
cause-of the early political season an.l
the time which would he required in
nu king an active campaign.
Col. Clifford Walk.*r, of Walton coun¬
ty. has announced his candidacy for
attorney-general of Geor ia, to
Thomas 8. Felder, v,ho is a candidate
for the unexpired term of Senator A. O.
Bacon in the United States Senate.
Fills disposes of Col. Walker’s coimee
tion as a congressional possibility.
Another Elbert Man Out.
Another prominent figure who was
sjtequlated upon as a candidate
J. J. Brown, of Klb.-rt c-maty. It is
thought that he will he a candidate for
commissioner of agriculture. It will
he remembered that he was a candidate
in the last election when he and J,
Price went into the Macon
tied. The convention gave Price the
nomination. - * '
Possibly, it will not he a matter of
regret among the : ajority of the voters
of the eighth district that Col. Tribble
will have no opposition. lie has made
a good congressman and looked after
the interest of his constituents.
His light against the pension grab
was market! and gave him a stamp
among his colleagues as a good fighter.
Trlbbh fight on the naval nppropria
tion wa not successful, but. his battle
in opposition to the measures were
none the less strong.
