Since returning from Macon and
the funeral of the late Senator Ba-
con, Governor Slaton has received
approximately 500 kilograms and
twice as many letters relating en-
tirely to the matter of the appoint
ment of temporary successor to the
dead statesman.
Notwithstanding the fact that this
appointment is in reality. an appoint
ment OF. hardly mere than three
months active duration, the ambi-
ton to receive it apparently obsesses
score or more of public men IN
Georgia of one persuasion and an
other. While this appointment viii

gress will adjourn in June.

suggested honoree who isn't backed

All Talk of Succession.
Beyond Congressman Hardwick's
frank statement TO number OF
friends that he will surely be cam
didate for Senator Bacon's uneXpired
term. and the construction put upon
that by the friends of Governor Sia-
ton. to the effect that the Hardwick
boom is a direct challenge and dare
to the Governor, there is little TAX
Senatorial going on among the poll
ticians. save on the immediate ques-
ton of the temporary succession.
AS to that matter, the Governor has
had nothing whatever to say for pub
LEGATION. He has. of course, discussed
frankly and openly several gentlemen
whose names have been suggested
to him, but he has not given out any
hint as to who will get the plum.
Four Men in Lead.
Observers credited with more than
ordinary ability to put two and two
together politically, however, taking
into consideration all the surface
signs see. or think they see. a new
Senator. with chances OF winning In
the order named (maybe), in the fol-
lowing Georgians: John t. Boifeuil-
let, OF Macon; Clark Howell. Of Al
Ianta. w w. Osborne of Savannah.
ano w. s. West, OF Valdosta.
About the hotel lobbies, thename of
Osborne of Savannah, is heard the
most frequently just now. perhaps
He is admittedly one OF the master
politicians Of the State. In Southeast
Georgia. Osborne stands for big things
by way of influence and political af-
hliation. Moreover, his reputation for
loyalty and fighting ability has been
proven on many hotly- contested
field. His friends are pointing out to
the Governor that there could be no
better or more fit man picked for the
big lob than Osborne-and as to his
full Senatorial size, to dispute that in
South Georgia, say the Osborne
boomers. is more or less high trea-
son.

However, there are others who say
pretty much the same things Of Clark
Howell, OF Atlanta; Of Ex-Governor
Brown. Of Marietta: of w. s. West. of
