COMMISSIONER C’RENSHAW
Col. Thomas C. Crenshaw, Jr:
of Spaulding in the race for Rail
road Commissoner to succeed Hon
Gunby Jordan of Muscogee, and as
predicted before by Hustler of
Rome, Col. Crenshaw is making a
winning race.
And why not? He is certainly
one of the best all round equipped
men for the place, in the state. Gt
his race the Macon Telegraph
says:
“Thomas C. Cranshaw, Jr., ot
Spalding is a candidate for rail
road commissioner to succeed Hoi
G. Gunby Jordan. Col. Crenshaw
wou'd make a first-class com in i
sioner. Ha is well acquainted
with the railroad business, is ;
man of untiring energy, and shoulc.
he receive the appointment, will
unquestionably make a fine offici
al,”
Another good democratic sheet,
the Griffin News and Suu has this
to say of the same clever gentle
man and this same winning race,
after quoting the Atlanta Jour
nal :
“The following appeared in Wed
nesday’s Atlanta Journal
“Hon. Thomas C, Crenshaw will
be a candidate tor roilroad com
missioner. Mr. Gunby Jordan has
been appointed by Governor Nor
then to fill <>ut the term of Col
Powers, deceased, which expires in
October, 1895. The appointment
will be made by Mr. Atkinson and
sent to the senate for confirmation
at the meeting of the legislature
this year.
Mr. Crenshaw has had consider,
able experience in railroad mat
ters, having for the last.five years
been connected with the Ceutr-- .
His friends claim that ha has con
siderable backing and that he will
receive the appointment.
There is probably no person
in the state better equipped foi
the position through natural ae
cuteness of mind and ready grasp
of all problems coming before him
together with the experience men
tioned,
Moreover, if appointed, Mr
Crenshaw would devote his whole
time and indefatigable industry
to the office. He should receive
the appointment.
