Georgia Judge Resignation Sparks Election Question
Governor Candler weighs a claim from a Georgia jurist that Justice Hal Lewis must resign before October 1 for a successor to be named by the convention.

The letter argues that an election on that day would be void if held for the vacancy. Many lawyers and judges are mentioned as potential nominees for the Supreme Court seat.
