POLITICS •
JAMES B. NEVIN
v —J' -- - -
Interesting political gossip which
recently connected the name of J.
Randolph Anderson. of Chatham
County, President of *he State Sen
ate, wjth congressional aspirations
has switched bark to its former place,
and It is again being stated with
considerable *how of authority that
he intends running for Governor
whenever Governor Siaton, whom he
will not oppose in any event, has
finished his term, either by choice or
limitation, as the case may be.
Mr Anderson lives in South Geor
gia. ami if he runs for Governor, it
will be distinctly as a South Georgia
candidate, of courim. At the same
time, however, lie has established a
summer residence in Cobb County,
and will < laim some measure of con*
sideration up that way by reason
t hereof.
When Judge Richard R. Russell ran
for Governor several years ago, he
claimed divers and sundry counties
ns his very “onliest” own. ami gen
erally was able to advance some spe
cific rigiit to consideration at the
hands of the voters therein.
If Mr Anderson Is as good a claim
er as Judge Russell was, and likely
still is. he will not be at all back
ward in setting up reasons why some
considerable lot of people in every
county should vote for him.
If Mr Anderson elects to run for
Governor in succession to Governor
Slaton which is looking rather far
ahead, perhaps then* is a possibility
of Thomas W. Hardwick opposing
him. and also a further possibility
that Gordon Lee may throw his hat
into the ring
And, then. too. there is Speaker
William H Burwell, <•/ Middle Geor
gia. who may think that he hails from
about the right section for ever.\ # -
I body to compromise upo’i.
Governor Slaton has friends who
think he may enter the next Sena
torial race, but the Governor him
self has given no sort of «*ountenanc«*
to rumors connecting his name with
(hat suggestion.
None of the gubernatorial possi
bilities mentioned are counting upon
n chance to run for somo tJir«'e years
yet, and to that end they are shap
ing their plans.
Word cornea from abroad that
Pleasant A. Stovall, of Savannah
TTTF ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
I
United States Minister to Switzer
land, is more than well pleased with
his assignment in "Uncle Saxn’s”
diplomatic service, and that he be
lieves he may be useful no less than
ornamental in his new' post of duty.
The Swiss mission generally has
been looke«i upon as rather a “soft
snap” in diplomatic circles, involving
quite a number of social duties and
obligations, but not much genuinely
i hard work.
Mr. Stovall believes, however, that
trade relations between this country
and Switzerland may be vastly im- l
proved and increased and to bring |
those things about, he has set him
self diligently to work.
Mr. Stovall Is, in every way, well i
‘ qualifier! for the diplomatic service. '
! and the belief is widespread among
his friends that he u ill acquit himself 1
with credit and distinction abroad.
i The Court of Appeals Is making
every effort to wind up all cases in
i which Judge HJll is concerned be-
• fore that gentleman leaves the bencii
5 to assume his duties as Judge of the
newly created Atlanta Circuit.
No unargued eases will be heard
• until the new appeals bench is com- '
pleted by the swearing in of Judgs
Roan, and in the meantime, the court
will wofk overtime preparing and
handing down opinions upon cases al
ready argued.
• It may be stated, perhaps, in good
taste, that the remainder of the court
parts with Judge Hill with genuine
and sincere regret. He has been a
• member of the court since it was
• created and is very greatly loved by
. his colleagues, not ’»nly for his ability
and courage as a lawyer, but for his
manv fine and admirable qualities as
t a man.
Judge Hill is the <’hief Judge of
tie Court, and has always held its
Integrity and dignity close to his i
heart.
The rumor that Representative
t < Taw ford Wheatley, of Sumter Coun
ty may be a candidate for Congr< ss
next year against Congressman i
Charles R. Crisp, while more or less
persistent, is not bring taken with a
very gieat degree of seriousness.
Not that Mr Wheatley is not Con-
• gr« sslonal size, or that he isn’t popu
’ lar ami well esteemed throughout hi-
district, but that Mr Crisp is serving
his first term in Congress, and it is
’ customary in Georgia to award a
’ first-t»rm Congressman a re-election
• j without protest, unless some v« ry s *-
- rious objection to his service is rais*-d

Mr. Wise is an exceedingly strong

Under the Constitution a President

If Diaz is appointed Foreign Minis

Consequently Diaz could not be

This means the elimination not only
of Huerta, but of Huerta influence in

only announced candidate.
Francisco de la Barra, formerly
