Clark Howell Declines Georgia Senate Appointment
Clark Howell on return to Atlanta from Florida declines to allow his name for the U S Senate vacancy caused by A O Bacon in Georgia. He informs Governor Slaton he should be eliminated to favor South Georgia’s claim and urges the governor to proceed without him. The governor remains swamped with letters and visitors as other names like Brown, Boifeuillet, Meldrim, and West surface in ongoing succession talks.
