The above IS the ticket placed In nomi-
nation by the Citizens Club at its meet
ing last night, TO be voted upon at the
primary to be held next Wednesday.
There are some surprises in the ticket.
Il was not known until yesterday that
Mr. Tiedeman was TO be a member of
the legislative ticket. and, I'm fact. it was
learned on very good authority that Mr..
Tledeman's name was not considered un-
III the day before, and that his consent
was Obtained late I'm the afternoon. Capt.
kolshorn's name is something of sur
prise also. II became rumored that Capt.
KolshOrn's name was to be on the ticket,
but he scoffed at the rumors when the
matter was mentioned to him, and the
announcement viii be a surprise 20 many
Of bis friends. Mr.. W. W. Gordon, Jr.,
has been looked upon as one Of the pros
pective candidates for some time.
Of the gubernator.al delegation, Maj.
Ryals and Mr.. Williams are both recent
accessions to the Citizens Club When
Mr.. Williams was spoken Of as can
d.date for the legislature a few days ago,
his friends in the Liberal Club regarded
it as joke. They were confident that he
had not taken sides with their oppon-
ents.
The executive committee named, con-
Sists Of ten OF the members or the pres
ent committee with fifteen new names.
The names Of the eleven members OF the
present committee who voted with the
tN.f.ra al "a
left of, together with those Of Cmet OF
Police Frank McDermott Fire Chief John
=. Mcguire, Mr.; W, w. starr ana MT Or;
J. i. Newton. Mr.. Newton Is placed on
the senatorial delegation.
The club meeting was called 10 order
shortly after $50 O'Clock by President
Osborne, who stated its object to be to re-
ceive the report on nominations by the
committee OF 100, TO which this work
had beeen delegated.
CANT, who prefaeed IL with some remarks
lie said that when the club heard the
ticket read it would find that IL needed
no commentator. The men who We're
named upon the ticket he said, were Sc
lected for their intelligence and sound
common sense, and their reputation Tor
integrity and standing in the community.
II e then read the report The announce
ments Of the committee and of each dele
cation were received with applause.
A motion TO adopt was immediately
made from several quarters and was put
by President Osborne. There was loud
response when the motion was put and
no negative votes. The ticket was ac-
cordingly declared to be unanimously
President Osborne addressed few re-
marks to the club, urging the duty OF the
members to give the candidates their
unanimous and hearty support and 70 la
Dor earnestly for their election. In view
Of the existing state Of affaFs, ne said,
the opposition of a large element which
has refused to abide by the action OF the
legally constituted authorities OF the par
ty. with the certainty of a heated cam
paign OF three or FOUR mQnths before
them and the prospect of blackguardism
during that time by campaign sheets, the
action of the gentlemen who had accepted
places on the legislative ticket he said
was deserving of the highest considera-
tiop, and it was the duty of the mem
bers Of the club to give them their sup
port In the fullest measure. They should
not only vote themselves, but should see
that their relatives and friends voted and
should work night and day, for the sue
direction, he said was to vote in the pri-
mary to be held next Wednesday, 1t is
necessary, he said, that fun vote be
brought out in tbls primary IN order TO
show the strength of ui-eir support
President Osborne stated that only one
OF the three legislative candidates select
ed by the club was present, the other two
being prevented from attending by en-
gagements elsewhere He introduced Mr..
Gordon who was warmly received.
Mr.. Gordon expressed his appreciation
Of the compliment paid him in placing
him on the ticket. He said he deemed it
an honor to be the standard bearer OF his
party, and to be on the same ticket with
the gentlemen whose names had been read
out. He predicted the election of the
ticket In fact. it would be successful
no matter who was nominated, he said.
Further, he would deem il an honor, even
were the ticket destined to defeat.
Mr. Gordon announced that he was in
favor of the commissions. The Liberal
Club had very little to do, he said, when
1t undertook to run down the Colonial
park. He was willing to compare the
condition of Colonial park with that of the
old cemetery which it had replaced, and
considered the new conditions as typical
of the present clean, business-like an0
refined administration Of Mayor Myers
as compared with the state OF
affairs under the previous administration
He discussed the position of the Liberia
Club with regard to the primary and ridi.
culed the position and actions of its lead
ers. The Liberals had decided not to have
q primary of their own, he said, because
they were afraid TO show their weakness
Mr. Gordon said he is a Savannahian u
the backbone. If elected to the legislator,
ne would be second to no one in lookin2
after the interests of the Forest City HI
predicted that If all would do their duty
there would be no danger of defeat
The crowd called for Ryals.
President Osborne stated that ever,
