SEABORN WRIGHT IN OFFICE ‘NEVER AGAIN’ Well Known Politician Says He Will Not Offer Himself Again For Pub lic Office. Special to The Herald. ATLANTA, Ga.—Hon. Seaborn Wright, former representative from Floyd County, In the legislature and leader of the prohibition forces will never again offer for public office. This statement is made on no less authority than Mr. Wright himself, who gave It out ip a labor day speech In his home towg, Rome. “I'Ye quit running for office and never expect to offer for election again to anything else as long as the breath of life is In me’’ he leclared. The announce ment of Mr. Wright that he will never again enter public life will be received with great Interest through out Georgia and the south. During his long career as a law maker and politician he carried a great influ ence. In fact it was largely due to his work in the legislature that the prohibition was carried. It is not be lieved that his retirement from pub lic life can he taken to mean that he will relinquish his hold on matters pertaining to the publis welfare. As someone has remarked, "It would not be Seab Wright if he did not step into the breach when the welfare of his fellow man at stake.” Therefore he may be expected to still wield a great influence In Georgia politics.
