COHEN MAY GET
COMMITTEE PLACE
Atlanta Journal Man May Sue
coed Clark Howell AS Ma
tional Committeeman

ATLANTA, April 1.-Major
John S. Cohen, president and editor
of the Atlanta Journal, may be the
national committeeman from Geor-
gia, urder the McAdoo refine.
Georgia editors are pointing out
that Major Cohen is very modest
man, and will probably wait until
the JOB is showed at him, but it IS
generally conceded that he is very
popular man and there are many
in the McAdoo ranks who want to
honor him.
"The Observer is not in on the
job of selecting the man for COM
mitteeman, but we shall be glad to
join with the friends of Major
Cohen who will rejoice to see him
khus honored, and rejoice again to
see the Democratic party of Georgia
name such capable national repre-
sentative" says c. B. Allen, editor
and business manager of the Moul.
trie (Ga.) Observer.
The Atlanta Journal, which Ma
jor Cohen heads, supported McAdoo
in the recent presidential primary.
The movement to elect its editor
national committeeman was started
and gained considerable proportions
before it reached his attention, and
characteristic of the man he is MAX
ing no campaign for the place, his
friends insisting that he permit his
name to go before the convention.
The present committeeman is Clark
Howell, editor of the Atlanta Cor
stitution.
