A Washington Dispatch Says the Brilliant Georgia Representa
tive from This District Is Certain to Manage the Next Con
gressional Campaign for the Democrats.
A Washicgton dispatch says that
Ihe withdrawal of Hon. James D.
Richardson from the contest for chair
manship of the democratic congres
tion campaign committee makes it
certain that Congressman James M.
Griggs of the Second Georgia congres
sional district will be chosen for the
position. Mr. Richardson has his at
tention well occupied with the minor
ity leadership in the house, to say
nothing of his Masonic duties, which
are arduous,
The congressional campaign commit
tee is really a body of importance, and
there is an enormous amount of work
for it to do. There are many close dis
tricts in_the eountry which are ahout‘
as liable to go to ome part) as the|
other,and it all depends upon cleven-§
and vigorous action as to whether it |
will return a Democrat or a l!-:publi-'
can. By proper dissemination of cam- l
paign literature, speeches, documents, |
etc., a congressional campalgn com- |
mittee can be of untold benefit in |
these close districts.
SOME PRESS COMMENTS,
From the Atlanta Journal,
We are not surprised that the move
ment to make Hon. J. M. Griggs
chairman of the democratic congres
sional campuign committee is being so
cordially supported, not only by the
Georgia colleagues of that gentleman
but by many representatives from
other states as well. Judye Griggs is
by no means seeking the position. His
friends and admirers put him forward
for it without consulting him because
they appreciate his exceptionably fine
gualitications for the duties of that im
portant place.
He is able, active and enthusiastic.
Hie is an excellent organizer and is
weil acquainted with tke sources of in
formation that must be largely relied
upon in a general congressional cam-

| paign. As a campaign speaker he
| was in demand in all parts of the coua
ltry, and his speeches were finely re
| ceived. As chairman of the committee
| Judge Griggs would pov have much
'time for speech making, but he knows
i how to pick speakers who will do ef
| fective work. He would surround
| himself with an able staff and keep the
i campaign going with a rush from start
| to finish: there wouldn't be a dull mo
| ment in it. !
| A better man for the chairmanship
, cannot _be found, and we hope to see
' Judge Griggs called to serve his party
in this capacity.
i From the Albany Herald.
' Convincing proof of the fact that
' Hon. James M. Griggs, our immediate
! representative in congress, is growing
‘in popular favor at the national capi
tal and extending bis influence and
usefulness is not lacking. Georgians
who visit Washington come back im
pressed with the fact that the Second
district’s representative is one of the
strongest men in the entire southern
delegation, and evidences of his popu
larity and usefulness as a congressman
come from many sources to those who
feel an interest in him and watch his
career.
Recently the Herald noted the fact
that Judge Griggs was favorably men
tioned in connection with the chair
manship of the democratic congression
al campaign committee, a position of
influence and leadership. It will be
gratifying to his friends to know that
the indications point to his being
chosen for the position if he should
consent to the use of his name in thas
connection.
From the Columbus Ledger.
Hon. Jim Griggs of Georgia stands
a good chance to be made the chair
man of the democrati¢c congressional
campaign committee. It takes a wide
awake, actiye man for this place, and
Jim Griggs will fit into the niche nice
ly. He 18 a tireless worker and a
most adriot political manager. Geor
cians would like to see this im
portant chairmanship placed in the
hands of Judge Griggs.
