JUOGESHIP RACE
GETTING WARMER
JUDGE ]. w. BENNET MENTIONED
AS AMONG THE LEADING
CANDIDATES.

WASHINGTON, IAN. 4.-The con-
test over the federal judgeship for the
southern district of Georgia promises
to develop into one of the most spirit
ed and interesting political fights ever
waged for a similar position in Geor-
gia. Twenty or thirty lawyers of
ability, many of them men with strong
personal followings. are already en-
listed in the fight, either as avowed
candidates or as receptive ones.
Neither Senator Hoke Smith nor
Senator T. w. Hardwick have as yet
indicated whom they will indorse.
Both are being besfeged by close
friends who are favorable to one or
the other candidates. Senator Smith
seems to be holding back and permit
ting his colleague to take the lead in
recommending an appointee since the
vacancy has occurred in the southern
district
81 desire only to see some good,
strong, able lawyer named" said Sen-
ator Smith. 81 would prefer one in
the prime of physical and mental
vigCr. say As or 5" years of age. |
am heartily in accord with the policy
of the president in not naming as a
federal judge any man, no matter
how able, who is over 60. Such a
man after serving until rs could then
retire and draw the salary the balance
of his life"
Senator Hardwick will undoubtedly
find it difficult to make choice
among the many men presented for
his consideration, since half dozen of
them have always been his close per-
sOnal and political friends. There is
Thomas S. Fielder, of Macon; John T.
West, of Thomson; r. N. Hardeman,
of Louisville; Jno w. Bennett, of
Brunswick, and Judge B. T. Rawlings
Of Sandersville.
Mr.. Felder's friends claim that he
IS entitled tC recognition because of
stepping aside at the Macon cOnven-
tion two years ago and throwing his
strength to Hardwick after he had
secured 80 convention votes. This act
resulted in Senator Hardwick's cleo
ton In the campaign which proceed
ed the convention John M. Slaton
nolled the largest popular vote Sena-
tor Hardwick came next and Mr..
Fielder was close third.
From political standpoint, it is
claimed by friends of Mr.. Fielder that
Senator Hardwick would win more
support by favoring Fielder.
1t is understood that Senator Hard
wick and Senator Smith will have a
conference when the former returns
from Georgia, and endeavor to agree
upon a man who is mutually satisfac-
tory Senator Smith has announced
that he desires tc obtain his colleagues
views and work in harmony with him.
The fight will undoubtedly warm up
with the assembling of congress, and
there is a probability that the nomi-
patton may be sent to the senate with
in the next two weeks.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Carranza,
through his legal adviser, made plea
today for the continuation of the

mite stay of the United States troops
in Mexico.
The Carranzaistas declare that the
suggestion of joint policing of the
border was rejected by the Americans
who insisted that each country must

der, while insisting on the rights OF
the United States troops to pursue
"hot trails" of bandits into Mexico.

END OE DEFENSE.

LONDON, Jan. 4.-The capture OF
Matchin is regarded here as ending
the defense of DolTudja. The Rus

order to protect Braila from the rear
Nothing now remains to them except
a narrow strip of land between marsh
es which carries the highway to
Braila.
The Germans and Bulgarians are
in a position to push their guns within
eight miles of Braila and it is as
sumed that if the invaders capture
the latter town the Russian line west
of the Danube will be withdrawn 1t
is taken for granted that the pro
longed resistance to the German ad
vance has enabled the defenders to
remove the stores of grain and other
material from Braila.

The line of the Sereth, to which the
Russians have retired further north

The expectation is indicated in the
dispatches however, that the pro
