STEPHENS PLEASED
WITH OUTLOOK ON
RETURN TO

ATLANTA, Ga, June 10.--Return-
ing from the annual convention of the
Georgia Bar Association held last
week at Tybee Island, Alex Stephens,
the well-known Atlanta attorney who
is running for the court of appeals
expresses himself as highly gratitied
over the many voluntary assurances OF
support he received from fellJw at
torneys at the meeting. lie believes
with their support in theit respective
communities that his election to the
court of appeals is definitely ASSURED.
He bases his candidacy on the fact
that his popular vote and county unit
vote in the primary of 791G entitled
him to nomination for one of the
places on the court of appeals, but in
the famous political Juggling which
took place at the Macon convention
he was euchered out of his rightful
place. This convention Juggling, it
will be recalled, aroused so much pro-
test over the state that the legisla-
ture passed a primary Jaw intended
to prevent such practices in the flu
ture.
