Municipal politics are now beginning to
engross the voters attention to a Lively
degree. and the abs )rbing topic of CONVEX
sation is the mayoralty. How many eau

be in the races are the questions which
politicians are putting TO one another daily,
and about which they are badly perplexed.
1t seems to be the general consensus OF
opinion. however, that Mayor McDonough
will shortly be requested by the newly
formed campaign club, originally known
as the committee OF one hundred, to stand
for reelection, and that he will agree 20
make the race against Alderman Harmon.
Week before last the MORNING NEWS an
nounced that meeting Of Mayor McDou-
ough's friends would be held last Tuesday
or Wednesday night to canvass the mayor
atty situation and decide whether it would
be advisable for the mayor to stand for re.
election. Later 1t was denied Ivy certain
politicians that such a meeting had been
contemplated, but on top of this denial
comes the organization Of the new COM
paign club.
MEETING OF THE MAYORS FRIENDS.
One Of the promoters Of the organization
since admitted that the meeting Wednesday
night was largely composed Of friends Of
Mayor McDonough, who favor him for a
second term, which proves the statement
made by the MORNING NEWS to have been
absolutely correct.
While the club will take an active part
In all future political contests here" said
gentleman on the inside, ''its object Just
at present will be TO re-elect Mayor McDon-
ough If he will consent to the use Of his
name The best people in the city who appre-
ciate the splendid administration of Mayor
McDonough and desire a continuance Of il
Tor at least two years are in the club and
will endeavor to get the mayor TO make the
race
1t is said that largely signed business
mems petition will be secured in few days
requesting Mayor McDonough to go into
the contest. and that the new club will hold
mass meeting and regularly nominate
him. II this occurs it is probable Mayor
McDonough will acquiesce and accept in
the interest Of good government. II he
does there will be no trouble about raising
the necessary campaign finances, and the |
contest will be the iveliest political affair
ever witnessed IN Savannah.
STILL AN UNKNOWN QUANTITY,
For few days rumors have been flying
about TO the effect that Maj. Schwarz had
finally agreed TO keep out Of the field and
would make such an announcement through |
the press Maj. Schwarz smiled his usual
bland political smile at the rumor, but said
nothing either pro or con.
A close friend of his, however, remarked |
TO MORNING News reporter: PAY no |
attention to such remarks. Mai Schwarz |
is in the hands OF his friends. and il they |
decide in favor OF his entering the contest /
he will be on hand when the fun begins |
No decisions may be arrived at until late in !
the campaign and then there
may be surprise in store for
McDonough gave US two years ago. No,
you can say Maj Schwarz is not out OF the
race. The gentleman added with a smile
"Don't quote me as saying he is in the race,
though, but then there ia no telling what
will happen in politics."
This statement will not be refreshing
news 20 the Harmonites, whose spirits rose
like the needle Of athermometer placed
over hot fire when they heard the story
tnat Maj. Schwarz intended to announce
himself out OF something he has never
yet said he was in.
This is where their worriment cones.
Maj. Schwarz will not deny or affirm any,
thing, but keeps them on the ragged edge.
AS political mystery, the Harmonites
consider the major capital success
