This concluded the committees report
Mr.. Alexander Immediately moved its
adoption. In the meantime. however, il
was noticed that a party Of three had
entered the room and were standing out
side the railing The chairman was in
formed that il was a delegation represent
ing the workingmen and wished TO adj
dress the committee. The delegation con-
sisted Of W. H. Barclay. Thomas F.
Leak and 4. +. Haines. They were in
Vited 70 take seats inside the railing.
Mr.. Barclay acted as speaker of the
delegation and came right 10 the point.
He said that the workingmen had decided
TO place a candidate in nomination and
the delegation had come before the COM
mittee for the purpose of asking represen-
tation on the board of managers AT the
primary. our candidates will enter the
primary as a democrat" said MT Bar
clay, and we viii be governed by the re-
suit
This statement was received with APP
plause. Mr.. Collins urged the adoption of
the report as submitted and said that If
any amendment was found to be neces-
sary it could be made by the committee
at later date.
Mr.. duBignon stated to Mr.. Barclay that
owing TO the late hour at which the labor
candidate was announced it would be inn
possible TO give him the same considera-
ton in the way Of consulting him as to
time and places of holding the primary,
but that there would be no difficulty on
the score of representation. He assured
them that representation as managers
would be granted, though no specific
resolution. With Mr.. Hartridge out how
ever. there win be no need for a change
in the resolution.
The workingmens delegates expressed
their satisfaction with the assurance
given by Mr.. duBignon. Mr.. Alexander
renewed his milton to adopt the report as
submitted. Mr. Collins seconded It. No
one showing a disposition to discuss the
report the motion was put to vote and
carried. The only vote in the negative
was cast by Mr. Reynolds.
Mr.. duBignon read a letter from Mr..
George W. Wylly Of Isle of Hope, a mem
Der of the committee, regretting his ina
bility to be present, and stating that he
was in favor of a primary by districts.
AS the Morning News announced would
probably be the case. Mr.. w. c. Travis
was placed in nomination by the labor ele-
ment Mr.. Barclay, chairman of the dele
cation which appeared before the eXecu-
tive committee, declined TO say where the
meeting was held at which Mr.. Travis
was nominated.
Mr. Travis is a printer by trade and may
be regarded as a representative working
man. He is known TO a great many peo-
pie in Savannah, and is generally well
spoken of by all who know him. Mr.. Ira
Wis and his most active supporters have
heretofore affiliated with the Citizens
club but it seems now that they have de-
cided to act independently or II.
1t is understood that Mr.. Travis expects
to secure the support of the advocates of
fence" as well as those who believe that
the labor interests are entitled to rep
resentative in the legislature from this
county. The two issues, it is claimed, are
to be combined. With a three cornered
fight it was conceded that Mr.. Travis had
some showing as he was expected to draw
from both sides on the fence issue, but
with Mr.. Hartridge out there is little
doubt that the strength of the Citizens
club will be sufficient to nominate Mr..
Willink
A caucus OF Mr.. Hartridges friends will
be held at Armory hall tonight. Invita-
tions TO the caucus were received by a
number yesterday. The circular was
signed by Merritt w. Dixon. The names
attached to the invitation were Merritt
W. Dixon, Samuel Reynolds. T. j. Davis,
Lee Masters. J. f. Furlong, Waiter G.
Charlton, John r. Dillon and E. A. Leo
nard When the caucus was called it was
understood that Mr.. Hartridge would take
part in the primary. The action of the ex-
ecutive committee puts a new face on
the matter which will have to be consid-
cred by the caucus tonight. There is little
doubt that the caucus will decide to go
ahead and make the fight against the NOM
nee of the primary.
