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- BUILDING COMMITTEE.

As a campaign speaker he | was in demand in all parts of the coua ltry, and his speeches were finely re | ceived.

' 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.
