Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1917-07-12

WASHINGTON, D. c., July r.
The nomination of Judge William E,
Thomas, of Valdosta, to be district
court Judge in the southern district of
Georgia, has been sent to the senate
by President Wilson.
This was the answer of the admin
istration to the move of Senator Hard
wick in submitting a list of eighteen
Georgians, any one of whom he indi-
Gated would be satisfactory to himself
ard his colleague, provided he couldn't
get the place for his friend, John T.
West, of Thomson.
If President Wilson has one out
standing characteristic, it is willing
ness at all times to assume RESPONSE
bility that properly belongs to his Of
fee. He showed that trait clearly and
resolutely today and offered to the
Georgia senators an able lawyer to fill
vacancy which the entire judicial
district is clamoring to have filled.
Senator Hardwick quickly conferred
with his colleague, Senator Hoke
Smith, and announced that he would
ask the senate to reject the nomina-
ton. The latter concurred from be-
lief that the action of the president
showed a deliberate purpose to ignore
and belittle Senator Hardwick.
Neither the president nor Attorney
General Gregory apparently gave any
consideration to the new list of eight
cen names which Senator Hardwick
sent in yesterday.
The nomination of Judge Thomas
which was decided upon several weeks
ago and of which both the Georgia
senators were advised at that time
was promptly made, despite the fact
that Senator Hardwick had announced
that the nomination of Judge Thomas
would be Objectionable, and offensive
to him, and that he would seek to have
it rejected.
There is no personal hostility tC
Judge Thomas on the part of either Of
the Georgia senator's, but their atti-
tude toward him Isl the same as it was
toward Judbe U. V. Whipple, namely
that the manner of the appointment
makes it Objectionable. Because the
suggestion of the name does not orig
mate with Senator Hardwick, he will
oppose confirmation.
