GEORGIA SENATORS
| IN AGREEMENT ON
WEST FOR BENCH
Conference With Attorney
General Amounts Practically
to Assurance Thomson Man
. Will Be Named
BR RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Jan. 9.-Sena-
tors Smith and Hardwick called at the
department of justice this morning and
in conference with Attorney General
Gregory informed him that they were IN
agreement as to the appointment of John
T. West, of Thomson, as federal judge
for the southern district of Georgia, vice
W. W. I-ambdin, deceased.
Although the senators are silent con-
corning the interview, it is believed that
the statement concerning West did not
take the form of an emphatic endorse
ment 1t amounts to this, however, and
the belief is more prevalent than ever
that the Thomson man will be named.
It is understood that the name OF
Thomas S. Fielder, of Macon, also was
discussed, and that the attorney general
spoke in high terms of the Maconian.
The recricence of the senators respect
ing their interview with the attorney
general is attributed to = desire on their
part to be assured that their recon-
mentee will be entirely satisfactory to
the administration. 1t is Regarded as
significant that following the conference
it was announced that Mr.. West would
see Attorney General Gregory TOMORROW.
Mr. Fielder also has an appointment TO
see him.
Seniors Smith and Hardwick them
selves authorized the announcement bhS1]
they anticipated no difficulty in agree
ing upon a man satisfactory alike 10
themselves and to the administration.
This announcement is accepted as cor
roborating the report that the senators
informed Mr.. Gregory of their agree
ment upon Mr.. West as eminently quail
ed in every way to fill the judgeship
and render services satisfactory alike
to the government and the litigants OF
the southern jurisdiction.
Further confederation of the report is
found in the fact that when confronted
with the details of the interview the
senators declined to either affirm or
deny it's essentials. 1t is probable that
they may issue a formal statement to-
morrow or the next day, following the
interviews the attorney general expects
to have with Messrs. West and Fielder.
shortly after the senators left the de-
partment of justice, Judge Joseph w.
Bennett of Brunswick, and his brother,
Stanley Bennett, of Quitman, called at
the department of justice and saw. the
attorney general respecting the applca-
ton of the former for the appointment

BIZ RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Jan. 9.-Sena-
tor Duncan L. Fletcher. Of Florida, to-
day authorized The Journal to announce
that he favors Rome as the site Of the
s11.OOO.OOO armor plate plant that is
to be erected BY the federal government.
He stated that ne proposed to lend every
reasonable assistance to the movement TO
have the plant placed at Rome.
Il regard the location of the plant in
the south as of paramount importance,
said the senator. "and primarily | inter-
ested myself in this matter because OF a
desire 10 promote the general welfare or
the south. / believe that the movement

The Rome delega ton, who inaugurated
the fight to force recognition of the ad-
stability of southern ores, feels that
e great work has been accomplished in
ne direction. and does not believe there
viii be any discrimination against
either Rome, Chattanooga, Birmingham
Knoxville or Louisville on this score
The Romans feel. moreover. that in
the matter pf ore they have a decided
advantage over the other southern cities
Their danger. they believe lies in the
question of transportation facilities and
freight rates. and they have turned their
attention TO these questions.
