RUNS FOR OFFICE BUT
KNOWS WILL BE BEAT

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 16.-The dist
tinction of being the only candi4
date in the history of Georgia pol
itics who ever admitted at the
outset that he didn't have a
chance to be elected is enjoyed
by Roscoe Pickett, former state
senator from the Forty-first dis
trict, who has announced himself
a candidate for governor on the
Republican ticket.
MIR. Pickett frankly admits that
he is not running with any idea
of being elected, but simply for
the purpose of forming the nu-
cleus of an opposition political
party ia Georgia.
He will be recalled as the SEN
ator who had a controversy with
Thomas B. Fielder, the Atlanta
lawyer and prohibition advocate,
during the fight in the legislature
over the Savannah recall bill.
Senator Pickett denounced Mr..
Fielder in speech on the floor of
the senate, and Mr.. Fielder wrote
him a note in which he called the
senator liar and another name
and invited him.to come out of the
senate chamber and resent the in
suit. On the evening of that day,
Fielder was stabbed in the Kim
ball House by G. X. Vason, door
keeper of the house of representa-
tives. -.
