MAY BE TRIANGULAR.
TIE COMING FIGRT FOR TIE
MAYORALTY PLUM.

Ex-Mayor Schwsrz an Unknown
Quantity So Far-ae May Run and
May Not - Alderman Harmon's
Friends Booming Him Right Along.
Mayor McDonough VIII Run if He
is Wanted.
The political clubs OF the city are getting
themselves in shape for the municipal fight.
The Harmon Club is meeting semi-weekly
and Is adding to its membership steadily,
according to the reports of those in author
ity. It has not yet decided upon its alder
manic ticket, and will not do so for some
time to come, as its first and principal OBJ
ject ia to further Alderman Harmon's
candidacy for the mayoralty.
Ex-Mayor Sohwars has not yet an
nounced himself either in or out of the race.
Even his intimate friends have not been
able to find out what he proposes to do.
Mai. Schwarz is going on the tkEQry that
he has plenty of time to talk politfcs after
the hot weather is over. Many of those
who were strong supporters Of
the sx-mayor In the last campaign,
but are now for Harmon, are giving it out
that Mai Schwarz has no intention of be-
ing candidate, but these expressions are
only born Of the hope that he will adopt
such a course.
AN UNCERTAIN QUESTION.
On the other hand man who is we'll up
in politics and q close friend of Maj.
Schwarz said few days ago that he be-
lieved the ex-mayor will be in the race.
MAI. Sohwarz.n said he, ais waiting to
find out if the people want him. II be gets
any assurance of strong support, and be-
lieve he will, there isn't any doubt that he
will oppose Alderman Harmon"
Mayor MoDonough is exactly like Maj.
Schwarz as to making announcements
of his Intentions in the next cam
paign. Bis only answer to questions
concerning his candidacy in Jan
until he fuds out whether the people
want him" This can be construed TO suit
any ones fancy. II Mayor MoDonough Is
requested by the citizens to accept re-
nomination he might accept It. Such re-
quest will no doubt be made by mass
meeting, as the supporters OF Mayor Nc
Donough In his stand against the saloons
are already talking Of adopting such
course.
MAY BE A THREE-CORNERED FIGHT.
If present indications count for
anything, Savannah may be treated to a
pretty three-cornered fight for the mayor
atty.
The First and Fourth district clubs have
announced no preference for any mayor
atty candidate. These clubs intend to make
their fight principally for aldermen. Both
have practically agreed upon demanding
three representatives from each district and
leaving the other six to the Second and
Third. A combination of the clubs for this
purpose will no doubt result. AS yet they
have not decided upon any particular can
didates, but the members say they have their
eyes on the best and most representative
men of each of the districts for the honor.
The First district club is meeting weekly
and endeaYoring TO get every voter to join
The Fourth district club will get down TO
active work after Wednesday nights meet

BULL STREETS Elk TENSION.
The Council Will Probably Act in the
Matter Wednesday Night.

The Council Will Probably Act in the
Matter Wednesday Night.
Aldermen Charlton, Carson and Cam the
special committee Of the council appointed
at the last meeting to act upon City Attor-
ney Adams communication relative to the
supreme courts decision in the Vernon
she'll road case, is expected to make a report
at Wednesday nights meeting. Whether it
will be in the nature Of a recommendation
to condemn that part of the road wanted
for the extension of Bull street, or the OPEN
leg of the street alongside is not yet known.
In his communication on the subject City
Attorney Adams calls attention to the fact
that although the headnotes of the decision
at first gave the impression that the supreme
court held that the Vernon company owns
the road, the full text OF the decision is, in
fact, directly opposite. The supreme court
only decided that the shell road company
has an easement in the road, but does not
own the ground itself.
Therefore. if the council decides on the
condemnatorY proceedings the taxpayers
need not fear that the figures will be at all
extraordinary. In fact, 1t may be cheaper,
in view of the decision to condemn the road,
than 20 parallel it with Bull street.
