by the Candidates. Friends.
The legislative nght was, as usual. all Oh
talk yesterday. Numerous efforts ar
being made to pick the favorites and th,
predictions vary widely. One says GuerarC
will lead the ticket and another says h,
won't be In IL.
Maj. Ryals' defeat is strongly predicted
by his opponents aud bis election is as con
tidently claimed by his supporters. Schey
it IS believed, will poll the Third district
solidly aud q big portion OF the Fourth
Osborne Is said 10 be an ell-around favoribe
and Doolan's friesds claim his election IN
spite OF Gesron,s opposition in the Fourth
Bernhard has withdrawn from the race.
Pooler, 1t is claimed, will go solidly for
! Dooian and Osborne and nearly 20 for
Rysls. The favorites in the Third are Rysls
and Sehley with Gunerard, Osborne and
| Doolau dividing the remainder of the ticket,
\ Dooiaus friends are confident that he will
60 through with q uhoop
| Il VIII receive big proportion II the
votes in the Second district IN spite Of all
assertions 20 the contrary" said Maj. Rysls
yesterday.
Just keep your eye on Schiey," said a
| friend OF that gentleman last night. His
supporters may be kid gloved, but they are
going 60 the polls en- mAsse, and their vote
sion in favor of anybody. Ii you will look
over the Fourth district you will
see that there is now an
immense vote south of Liberty street in
that district and that will all be cast for
him. Then his friends are putting in eff
feetive work all around, aud work Of the
kind that will count There are going TO
be some surprises In this election
1t was thought that Martin Schroder's
name would be put before the people for
representative the latter part OF the week,
but it is understood now that Mr.. Schroeder
positively refuses TO allow mis- name to be
used. This will be good news TO the other
candidates, as he would certainly have
drawn heavily from some already In the
race.
The candidates are almost without exoep-
ton letting their friends do the work in this
campaign and are keeping themselves in the
background. They are not spending any
money either in efforts to popuiarize them
selves with the boys" This is very wise
for the candidates, but hard on the ''boys."
Those who are figuring on very heavy
vote at the primaries will very likely be
disappointed.
The registration this year, which is heav-
Ter than ever before, is about 5. 400. OF this
about 1000 are colored, leaving 3.4OO
white voters About 5000 of these
can be counted on as safely
democratic. If 900 of this number 90 to
the polls at the primary, 1t will be some
thing unusual. So many voters have never
before taken part in the selection OF the
party's candidates. About one-fourth of
that number or less, have usually decided
the party's choice in the mass meetings
Tbs vote will probably not be over | 800
A fair division Of this will give the First and
Second districts about 300 votes each. and
the Third and Fourth about 500 each, with
about 200 or perhaps $50 iu the country.
There may be some new tickets in the
field for the delegations to the conventions
The friends OF soms Of the prospective
senatorial candidates may put out lists of
names to the senatorial convention in op-
position TO those named by the conference
committee. This will add some interest to
the situation.
In view Of the fact that this is the first
primary election held by districts,
1t is important to both voters and election
managers to know the boundaries of the
different districts. They are az follows:
First Decentralization street west
TO the Ogeechee canal.
Second Distriot-Montgomery street to
Barnard street.
Third District-BarnArd street to Aber-
corn street
Fourth District-Abercorn street east to
city limits
Fifth District East Of City and Suburban
Railway and south or Anderson street, in
GLIDING Thunderbols, Wilmington and Ty-
bee
Sixth Distriot-Between Savannah, Sea-
board and Skidaway railroad and Savan-
nah, Florida and Western railway.
Seventh District-Between Savannah,
Florida and Western railway and Ogeechee
canal
