tIanta Constitution.
The Atlanta Constitution turned its
search light on the Legislature Saturday,
and as a result devoted page OF It's
Sunday edition to members OF that BODY
who are likely to occupy seats in the ma
tIonal legislative hall some day.
Our brilliant Senator Wilson and able
and clever DR.. Kendrick are on the list
from the second district, among several
others.
But let the Constitution tell of the
congressional timber in the second dis
tlict in its own way:
"TWo senators, who live in the second
district, are possibilities, and should the
lightning strike either it would find
Shining mark.
"No Young man who has been in the
legislature in years has made more
frien Is than Senator Billy Wooten. He
makes them because he deserve them,
because none can know him without
liking him. In the house, he was one OF
the active, energetic members, and
though the Youngest member OF the
MINER house he is universally regarded
one Of the safest and best Senator
Wooten's hobby is military. lie is always
foremost in everything designed to bene,
fit Georgia's soldiery. He is chairman OF
the military committee OF the senate,
and the three bills, providing important
changes in the military of the state,
which have been on all sides so favOrably
commented upon, are from his pen. he
possesses all the elements of good leg
islator and would be representative of
whom the second might feel proud.
Senator Clarence Wilson calls Clay
his home and when you go to Fort Gaines
You'll find him one of the most promi-
nent citizens of that thriving little city.
Senator Wilson is not much of talker,
but what he says is always listened to
and carries weight with it. He is one of
the best workers of the legislature, and
he will always be found voting and
working for the conservative, common
sense side Of any question. If Clarence
Wilson we're the nominee for his district,
there'd be a regular exodus of the boys
from other parts of the state who would
90 down to aid the good work of putting
him through; and, when elected, he
would certainly be strong M. G. as well
as popular One."
'In glapcing over the house l notice
four men representing counties IN the
second district; any one OF them would
make an excellent congressman. All Of
them may be regarded as decided posi-
bilities, too. The four l refer to are
Harrison, of Quitman; Ken0rick, of Ter
rell: Boynton, of Calhoun, and Rodden-
bury, of Thomas.
Zone of the conservative members, a
man who is always found on the right
side and is careful in looking after the
rights and interests of his constituents,
is DR.. Kendrick, of Terrell. The doctor
has a seat in the front row and it is the
greatest exception when he is out of it.
He studies the business of the house
closely and, though he is not talker, he
certainly belongs the list of capable work.

Colonel Harrison is one of the unique
figures in Georgia politics. The g1eatest
draw back to his selection as a represen.
sentative in the halls of the national
congress is that without the presence OF
his leonine head and shaggy maze of
beard, no Georgia house of representa-
lives would be complete. Colonel Har-
rson is undoubtedly one of the most
valuable members of the house. He is a
thinker, and when he advocates meas
ure he does it with his whole soul.
Mr.. Boynton, Of Calhoun is one of the
new mcmbers-tbat is, this is his first
Legislature. He is a LAWYER, an able de
batter, a careful and conscientious mem
Der in every way. He is undoubtedly
coming man.
"Mr. Roddenbury, OF Thomas, is, be-
lieve, the youngest member of the house
if not that, certainly one of the young
est. He is an exceedingly bright fellow
good worker and good talker on thu
floor of the house and is popular with al
his fellow members. 1t is very safe K
say that Roddenbury has future II
