Youthful Senator Can't De-

HACKERS GROOMING
HIM FOR CONGRESS
Has Fine Chance of Becoming
Speaker of Senate In 1917,
If He Goes Back

ATLANTA, Aug. 2O.-What to
run for, if anything, is a question
that is giving Senator I. S. PEBBLES,
Jr.. 18TH, of Augusta, serious con-
Germ. The young senator is having
now his first term in the Georgia
legislature and has found it pleasant
going.
Inasmuch as he is eligible for
succession in the state senate, by
virtue of the custom prevailing in
his district, he says much pressure
is being brought to bear on him to
be candidate for the 1927 senate.
If he does this and is elected, he be-
lieves there is a fine chance for him
to become president Of the body.
On the other hand, he said, pres
sure is being brought to bear from
other quarters 10 make him a candi-
date for Congress from the Tenth
Congressional district to succeed
Representative Carl Vinsop, who
has held that post for many years.
While both Of these posts look at
tractive to Senator PEBBLES, he says
che amt hossing" for either of
them, because of a quite satisfac-
tory law practice in Augusta which
affords him much qualification and
cmolument.
In the meantime, he admits that
he has his ear quite close to the
ground to see which of the three at
tractions-state senate, congress or
law PRACTICES humping the loud
est.
The senate this term is turning
out quite number of candidates
for Congress, among them being
Senator Carl Guess, Gath, who would
succeed Representative Upshaw, and
Senator Hermann P. DeLaPerriere,
who would succeed Representative
Bell. Senator Sapp, 43rd, also has
been spoken of as a candidate to
succeed Representative Lee.
