SLATON SAYS ANDERSON
SHOULD SUCCEED HIM

Atlanta, April S.-Lawyers and POI
iticians have raised an interesting
point as to the succession to Office
when Governor Slaton resigns, if he is
elected to the senate. Ordinarily it Is
conceded that ]. Randolph Anderson
of Savannah, president OF the state
senate, would become acting governor
FLt some authorities hold that Nj.
Anderson's commission as president
ends with the adjournment of the pres
ent senate and therefore he could MT
succeed as acting governor. This woulG
mean that Mr. Anderson could act only
until October Z, when the new legisla
ture is elected and the ned body would
be forced to meet and elect a presl-
dent who would then become acting
governor.
Governor Slaton, on the other hand,
says he has given careful considera-
ton to the matter Of his succession
and the best legal opinions say the
law contemplate that the person
holding the office of president of the
senate shall remain acting governor
even though a new legislature is ell
ected while he is so serving.
1t is expected that Governor Slatoc
will make his formal announcement
and platform next Sunday, setting
forth his principles.
