‘ The indications are that at least
half a dozen candidates for Governor
will be in the race. About a dozen
have been prominently mentioned SO
far.
Colonel J. Randolph Anderson, of
Savannah. seems to be the most
thoroughly in earnest so far and as
he has a summer home in Marietta
a local interest attaches to his can
didacy. He is President of the Sen
ate and will become Governor if
lGovernor Slaton resigns. It is prob
able that Hon. A. A. Lawrence, an
other old Cobb county citizen, will
succeed Colonel Anderson as Sena
tor from the Savannah district.
Dr. L. G. Hardman, of Commercz,
has announced for Governor. Hon.
W. H. Burwell, of Sparta, speaker of
the House, will likely enter the
race.
Among the others who have the
matter under consideration are:
Judge W. E. Thomas, of Valdosta,
!Judge A. W. Fite, of Cartersville,
IHon. W. J. Harris, of Cedartown,
'l)irector of the Census, Hon. N. E.
Harris, of Bibb, Hon. J. R. Smith,

in cash.
Immediately following this trans
