The Broyles-Pot - 1 tie contest resulted in a tie. RroyVs withdrew at the State convention s* < that the nomination of Pottle might be unanimous. Broyles Recorder 15 years. Broyles has been Recorder fifteen years, in this time he has attracted I State-wide attention through the vtg- ; orous aid he has given Chief Beavers! in the vice crusades that have swept j Atlanta and the part he has taken in j other civic reforms. Judge Roan, who resigned his po«'~ J tion as, judge of the Stone Mountain] Circuit to take the appointment to the , Appellate bench, ha> presided at many of Georgia’s famous criminal trials, I closing his career in the lower courts 1 with the Frank trial. Recorder Srovles said 1n the an nouncement of his candidacy: To My Fellow Citizens of Geor gia : I have lately had so many in quiries from friends in different parts of the State about my can didacy for the Court of Appeals that I think it due them that, without further delay. I should publicly declare my intentions. I shall positively be a candidate in the Democratic primary next summer for a place on the (’ourt of Appeals. Under the rules of the primary. 1 will have to des ignate and run for tne particular judgeship. In the last primary, in 1912, when I onnosed Judge Pottle, the strongest argument used against my candidacy was that Atlanta already had one of the three judgeships, and was. there fore. not entitled to another. Despite this heavy handicap. I tied with Judge Pottle, but, in the State convention, 1 withdrew my name and allowed the South Georgia candidate to have a unanimous nomination. I do not propose to run again with this same handicap, and, therefore. I shall be a candidate for the un- explred term of Judge Ben H. Hill, of Atlanta. This position is now held by Judge L. S. Roan, also of Atlanta, who was appointed temporarily to the place until the voters of Georgia could elect Judge Hill’s successor. I do not intend to be gin my campaign for several months yet, but make this an nouncement now in response to the inquiries of my friends in» At lanta. turned near Smarrs Station, In Mon roe County.

Particular attention has been paid to the female impersonators in the cast. Their gowns were all made by friends of the Tech students, and, according to report, “fit them like the paper on the wall." After the performance, most of the crowd will attend a dance at Se- gadlo's Hall. The occasion will af ford an opportunity for good-byes to be said on the eve of the Christmas holidays. Great Chance to Help. Through the generosity of the. Tech Dramatic Club, one-quarter of the box receipts of the play will go to wards The Georgian-Sunday Amer ican Empty Stocking Fund.

The Empty Stocking Fund will also benefit by the dance to follow at Segadlo's. While the crowds are laughing at the funny antics of the Tech students on the stage of the Grand, or whirling in the evolutions of the tango and turkey trot, down in the poorer districts of Atlanta the little children will be laughing with jov at the prospect of having old Santa Claus with them on Christmas, just six days from now'.
