CONNOR WOULD
Be A CANDIDATE
Commissioner May Announce
to Succeed Self Despite Al
legged Promise to Brown.

Will j. j. Conner, commissioner of
agriculture, be a candidate to succeed
himself?
That is pertinent question politi-
clans in Georgia are asking themselves
nowadays. and thereby hangs one of
the most interesting and absorbing
tales current in political circles q
If the commissioner does announce
as a candidate to succeed himself, he
must do so, so the inside story goes, in
direct violation Of a promise made to
the governor when that gentleman APP
, pointed Commissioner Conner in sue
cession to Thomas G. Hudson, resigned,
unless he can get the governor to re-
lease him from said promise.
When Commissioner Hudson re-
signed there were-two asp1rants for the
Office he vacated, James D. Price and
J. j, Brown. The governor was en-
barrassed in the matter of appoint
ment then, for both candidates had
claims on his consideration, and he
was loathe to give the plum to either,
them.
Common Made Promise?
Finally the governor decided to ap-
point some one who would say he
would not be candidate to succeed
himself. and thereby leave Brown and
Price even al the start Of the big race,
so far as the governor was concerned.
In those circumstances. the matter
of appointment was put squarely up to
Mr.. Conner, who, after a days hesita-
| ton, agreed to the terms of temporary
occupancy. Both Price and Brown
stated frankly that they would be can
didates for the long term and the gov
ernor passed them from his mind
therefore, as probable appointees Aft
er his appointment to the office of com
missioner of agriculture Mr.. Conner
appointed ]. J. Brown his assistant,
but that was none of the governors
affair.
Now, it is said, Commissioner Con
nor has become greatly enamored of
the Office he holds and would like to
have try for 1t before the people
It is said Mr.. Conner would an
nounce at once but for the promise he
made the governor. Moreover. 1t Is
said that he has sounded the governor
on the matter of a release from that
promise, but has met cold response.
The governor has had nothing to 50 v
about the matter, and probably will
have nothing to say. unless, in his ma
ture judgment. 1t becomes necessary
for him to make clear certain features
of the situation
