The Columbus Enquirer commentator analyzes Georgia politics asking whether Governor Marvin Griffin will seek another term in 1959 or run for U S Senate in 1958. Options include remaining out of office, returning later, or pursuing lieutenant governor, amid broader speculation. A Montgomery wind anecdote follows about a new father and crying infants in the infant ward as a light aside.
