L
JUDGE ROM UNDECIDED
Recorder Broyles will be a candi
date at the Democratic primaries Tor
the uncxplnd term of Judge Ben H.
Hill on the Court of Appeals. He an
nounced his Intentions in en open le:-
ter made public Friday.
Judge L. 8. Roan, appointed at the
conclusion of the Frank trial, over
which he presided, to fill the vacancy
on the Appellate bench made by
Judge Hill's appointment to the n» vv
Atlanta Circuit, said Friday that he
had not made up his mind whether
he would seek to retain his position
on the Court of Appeals against th-
opposition of Recorder Broyles.
"I had made no definite plans for
the future when I accepted the ap
pointment to the Appellate bench," he
•aid to The Georgian "I did not
know whether I would ask to serve
longer on this bench. I am still un-
declded. In fact. I had not given the
matter much thought before the can-
I didacy of Recorder Broyles was an-
| nounced, and it Is unlikely that I will
I l»e prepared to make any announce
ment before the first of the new
year.”
Scramble for Recordersbip.
General report has been since Judge
1 Roan's appointment to the Appellate
i bench that he would be a candidate
j at the primaries for the remainder of
I Judge Hill’s unexplred term. Judge.
I Roan declared these reports were
without any foundation in so far «*s
they presumed a definite decision on
bis part.
Only second in Interest to the hot
fight that would develop between Ra-
< order Broyles and Judge Roan. In the
event that the latter decides to enter
the lists, would be the scramble for
the Recordershlp left vacant by
Broyles.
Seven alregdv ar/» in the race They
are William M. Smith, attorney for

In the criminal action against Mrs
Mary Belle Crawford, accused of th
poisoning of her aged husband. Joshu t
Crawford; Thomas H Goodwin, *x-
Uouncilman from the Third Ward;
Carl Guess, also an ex-Councilrmn
George K. -ohn»on, member of the
.Police Commission; W att P. Kelly, an
Atlanta attorney, and Judge W. H.
Preston, Recorder Pro Tern, twelve
years snd clerk of the Police Court
21 years.
Because of the number of candi
dates it is probable that this contest
will be as spectacular as that for th-
Appellate Court position. Preston ha*
had the advantage of a great deal of
experience In the Police Court. Wil
liam M. Smith previously .has been a
candidate for the office, running at th •
time Recorder Broyles was opposing
Judge J. R. Pottle for a plac. on the
Court of Appeals. The Broyles-Pot*
tie contest resulted in a tie. Broyl-s
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 be haa attracted
State-wide attention through the vig
orous aid he has given Chief Beavers
In the vice crusades that have swept
Atlanta and the part he has taken in
other civic reforms.
Judge Roan, who resigned his poei
lion bh judge of the Stone Mountain
Circuit to take the appointment to the
Appellate bench, ha» presided at many
of Georgia’s famous criminal tri^s,
closing his career In the lower courts
with the Frank trial.
Recorder Broyles said in the an
nouncement of his candidacy:
To My Fellow Citizens of Geor
gia:
T have lately had ao many In
quiries ftom 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. 1 should
publlclv declare my intentions.
I shall positively be a candidate
In the Democratic primary next
summer for a place on the Court
of Appeals. Under the rules of
the primary, I will have to des
ignate and run for Die particular
judgeship. In the last primary, In
1912, when 1 o^nosed Judge Pottle,
he 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 vet, but make this an
nouncement now In response to
tiie inquiries of my friends in At
lanta.

TURNER BEGINS
FIGHT FDR
Electrician, Angered at Action of
Aldermen in Turning Down In
crease, Seeks Referendum.
City Electrician Turner is busy
preparing to have the question of the
increase in the salary of his office re
ferred to the voters.
"I don't see what right a man like
Alderman C. H. Kelley has to turn
down a salary raise of an official
elected by the people,” said Turner.
"He wasn’t elected by the people; he
was elected by Council."
The electrician was piqued by the
vote of Aldermen Ragsdale. Kelley
and Warren, which killed his raise.
According to City Attorney Mayson,
the salary of the office must be fixed
the year before election by a charter
provision.
Unless the electrician can get an
election on the matter before the first
of the .year or have a special meeting
of the City Council called and the
matter reconsidered, there seems to
be little chance for him to get the
Increase.
