CLIFF WALKER
TO RUN, REPORT
Announcement For Governor Due
Early In May-Judge George
Being Discussed

ATLANTA, April IA. - Clifford
Walker, of Monroe, former attorney
general of Georgia, and one-time can
didate for governor, win make the
race for governor in opposition to
Governor Hardwick and will issue his
announcement about the first Sunday
in May, it is rumored in the State
Capitol, on what appeared to be re-
liable authority.
Some weeks ago Mr.. Walker is
sued a statement denying report
that he would not be candidate. He
said he was being urged to make the
race and was giving the matter seri-
Gus consideration. The statement was
taken to mean that he probably would
be candidate.
Today's report, therefore, was Civ
en- credence on account of Mr.. Wal
ker's plain indication that he was in
a very receptive attitude in the gu
bernatorial matter. 1t also was re-
ported in the capitol that Judge w.
F. George, of Vienna, who resigned
from the Superior Court on Jan. /,
was being urged by friends in South
Georgia to make the race. He is said
to have received encouragement from
certain state political leaders of At
lanta. When he resigned from the
bench Judge George gave the state
ment that he was returning to Wen
ma to look after his business inter
ests which required attention, and
did not entertain any definite politi-
cal intentions. He did not, however,
close the door against the possibility
of re-entering the political arena.

the people of Pierce county to
maintain a division at Camp Lew
