DAYS DOING At.
STATE CAPITAL
ALExANDER'S ANNOUNCEMENT
INDICATES DEFEAT FOR TIP
PINS BilL-OTHER ITEMS.

Atlanta, Aug 2.-Shrewd politi-
clans claim to see in the announce
ment of Hooper Alexander as can
diGate for governor, the answer to
his otherwise apparently inexplicable
interview last Sunday with reference
to the Tippins bill.
In the interview printed Sunday
Mr.. Alexander, who had led the fight
TO- prohibition, practically gave up
the ship, announcing that he thought
the fight was lost and that he didn't
see how the bill could pass, over the
governors veto. With the captain
thus admittedly faint hearted, the
crew began to ease overheard rap
idly. and it soon became apparent
thar any chance the bill had was eff
fectively knocked in the head.
1t is now pointed out that if Hoop
er Alexander had pushed his fight
on the Tippins bill to successful
conclusion over the governors veto,
there would have been no logical ex-
cuse for him to run for governor on
prohibition platform. AS it now
stands, however, the impression has
been created that Joe Brown caused
the defeat Of the bill, and the argu-
ment is being advanced that anti
joe Brown voters ought to vote for
the man who led the fight in favor of
tn : measure. This line of reasoning
as advanced by the politicians, may
be rather fine-spun, but the fact now
seems to remain that when Hooper
Alexander gave out the interview that
proclaimed the Tippins bill hopeless,
he had already decided that he him
self would run for governor.

Judge PottIe Endorsed.

Atlanta, Aug. 2.-The general judi
ciary committee of both the house
and senate have endorsed the candi-
dac. of Judge R. Pottle to succeed
himself on the appellate court bench.
Judge Pottle was appointed January
Is of. the present year to the unex-
pired term of Judge Arthur Powell,
who had resigned to resume the prac-
tice of law.
The friends of Judge Pottle are
stressing the fact that he is the only
mar from southwest Georgia on either
the appellate or supreme court bench.
Atlanta already has two members
of the high court, in the persons of
Judge Lumpkin and Judge Ben Hill,
and for this reason, among 9th 9rs, the
judiciary committees of the legisla-
ture were opposed to seeing an At
lanta man take Judge Pottle': place.
The Albanian who has announced
aga inst Judge Pottle is Recorder Nash
r. Broyles, known to police court
fame and to negro offenders from the
Mississippi levee to the Carolina
coast as Jedge Briles." He has pre-
sized over the police court, trying
darktown fights and chicken stealing
tragedies for many years.
