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.

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. I STILL HEADS TEMPLE MACON, Dec. 19.—Glenn G.

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.
