Col. j. Il. t.uerry, our Solicitor
General, has announced himself q
candidate in the End Congression-
al district, and it is predicted he
will have sufficient following to
secure his nomination. We are a
great admirer of Turner, but our
vote is for Query.
: Calhoun Courier
Hon. j. II. Query, of Dawson.
has announced himself a candi-
date for Congress from this, the
End Congressional district, against
the Hon. FL. G. Turner, the pres
ent incumbent, Col. Guerry is a
very able and talented young man.
Cuthbert Enterprise
Our distinguished Solicitor
General, James H. Query, has
announced himself a candidate
for Congress. We have nothing
to say against Col. Turner, for
whom we entertain high respect.
But our side of the district has
never had the representative, and
there is a strong feeling in favor
OF claiming it. That is fair. Col.
Guerry would make an able and
gallant congressman, and since he
has consented to make the race
we say let him run. Nobody can
blame us for, claiming our turn,
as an important section of the
district, heretofore ignored by the
conyentiC n.
Blakeley News.
Col, j. H, Query, well-known
all over Georgia as the talented
Solicitor Gen 4ral Of the Pataula
circuit, has publicly announced
himself as a candidate for Con.
gress from til 2nd Congressional
District, now represented bv Hon
Il. G. Turner We are a great
admirer and g warm friend Of Col
Guerry and would be glad to sec
him elevated higher on the ladder
OF political p1eferment. We know
him to be a man Of acknowledged
ability and would doubtless make
his influence felt in the halls OF
our National Legislature. He nc
doubt has many friends in Early
county who share our sentiments
The Quitman Free Press, Mr. Turner,
home paper, says:
1t is understood that the
names of Hon. j. H Guerry
of Terrell, Hon. r. G. Mitchell. Of
Thomas, and Hon. H. G. Turner
of Brooks, will be presented to the
convention, which will probably
meet some time in July. We are
authoritively informed that Col
c. B. Wooten, of Albany, is not {
candidate and will not seek The
nomination. The friends of Mr.
Turner do not intend to push biz
claims in an unserene manner
and we are satisfied the other can
didates whom we have mentioned
will not do SO. The nomination
will be a quiet one and the Ere,
Press will warmly support tn,
nominee.
Augusta Chronicle
In the second district of Geor
gia Col. Jane H. Guerry, Solici
tor-General OF .he Pataula Cir
cult, will oppose Hon. Henry G
Turner. One would suppose tha
Mr.. Turner could hold his owl
against Col. G Glerry, but we ar
assured that the six years recorC
as Solicitor General has made VI
a fine record for him and that hi
sincere cordiality and devotion t,
his friends have already mad,
him by far the most popular mai
in the Circuit.
