Muscogee friends Of Senator B. :.
Miller. of the Twenty fourth District,
are putting forth strenuous efforts 10
get Chattahoochee County to waive
her right to furnish the State Senat-r
TO- 1914, in order that Mr.. Miller may
succeed himself in the Senate, and
thereby keep his place in line for the
Presidency of the same.
Under the present rotation system
among the counties composing ne
Twenty fourth District, it is Chatta-
hoochee County's time to furnish the
State Senator MusCogee, Marion and
Chattahoochee compose the district
and Muscogee names a Senator the
same number of times as both of the
other counties, but with an interval
between.
Muscogee is now furnishing the
Senator and it is confidently believed
that if ChattahooChee would waive
her right to name the next Senator,
and allow MusCogee to re- elect Mr..
Miller, that he could succeed to the
Presidency of that body in the event
Mr. Anderson runs for Governor
Chattahoochee would lose nothing
by waving her right, as she would
eventually have the Senator the same
number of times.
On the other hand, there would be
an opportunity for the entire district
to be honored by having ;'r. Miller
elected President of the Senate.
OF course. this talk is from the
viewpoint of the Twenty fourth Dis
trict and is based upon the Contin-
genCy of President Anderson not be-
ing a member Of the next Senate
II Mr. Anderson does not run Cor
Governor however, he likely will be
returned to the Senate, and in that
event will be a candidate to succeed
himself 1t is not thought that Mill
er will oppose Anderson, of course
