WHY NOT JUDGE TURNER

From The Macon Telegraph.
The New York World concludes an ed

Judge Parker will be nominated. The

A number of Georgia newspapers have
already made the suggestion The Tel

Chattanooga News also seconds the sug-

bench of Georgia and one Of his admirers
suggests him as a candidate for vice-pres-
ident. Should the Democratic party
nominate him it would be an act of com
mon Justice to the South and tribute to

Turner is a fine man in every respect,
and would adorn and strengthen the
ticket which is to be headed by the great
iurist of New York. We would like to
see some Southerner nominated for vice
president, and Judge Turner would be ac-
