There is especial interest this year in
the election OF grand lodge officers. At
lanta has candidates in the field for both
the Office Of keeper of records and seals
and that OF grand master Of exchequer,
held respectively by Mr.. w. =. Leopold
and Mr.. q. A. Cox. These gentlemen have
filled the offices which they hold very sat
isfactorily for number of years and the
members Of the order in Savannah would
feel very badly If they should be defeat
ed. Mr.. Tip Harrison, for a number Of
years state Librarian Is the leading candi-
date for the position held by Mt Leopold
Mr. Harrison is well-known throughout
the state and is a strong candidate
There are about sixty past chancellors
in Savannah who are entitled to votes in
the convention besides the representatives
OF the lodges, making In the neighborhood
of ninety-siN votes to which Savannah Is
entitled In the grand lodge. A strong ef-
fort IS being made to have as many as pos
sible OF These present and II Is likely that
a majority OF the past chancellors from Sa-
Vanuah Will be on hand. Atlanta Is en-
titled TO over a hundred votes in the con-
vention and being right on the field this
gives them great advantage. The Sa-
vannah knights are relying, however. on
their friends in Augusta, Macon, Column
bus and elsewhere TO give them the requi-
site majority to re-elect their candidates.
A very strong friendship exists between
the Savannah knights and their brethren
in neighboring cities and the probabilities
are very strong that this friendship VIII
be demonstrated at the session OF the
grand lodge in a very satisfactory manner.
