Fleming G. duBignon.
Chairman Democratic Executive Com
mlttee, Chatham County, Georgia.
Mr.. duBignon requests the Morning
News to state that in the publi-
@ Sa9n Of 9eotd 5s result ESD on Of iR Re RF5
INST. both Of the daily papers IN the
city were furnished with exact copies Of
the formal announcement of the result by
him, and that the word "only" which APP
peared in the Evening Press I'm connection
with the executive committee and guber-
material delegation was not used by him,
nor was 1t IN the copy furnished by him
20 that paper.
1t is an Interesting question whether the
executive committee elected Wednesday Is
now In charge Of the affairs Of the party
or Of that portion of the party which
elected IL, or whether the old committee
holds over for awhile longer. The COM
mittee elected at the primary held in the
summer OF 1894 was elected for two years
and this term does not expire until July
70 II Is not likely that the committee VIII
be called upon to take any action of any
kind, however, so the point is not likely
no be raised.
The primary was, of course. the chief
subject Of discussion politically yes
Jerday. The attitude OF the two fac
9q5 oT " tb MerB PiTmay s was IKE Vel DE-
zens Club men unite IN declaring them
selves well pleased with It, as making a
strong showing for their party, while the
Liberal Club men take just the opposite
view, and declare It TO show the weak
ness Of their opponents The Liberal Club
leaders point 10 the report of their watch
ers as showing that there was fraud prac-
ticed in the primary and they further as
Sert that there were men who voted in
other mems names.
In answer TO the charge Of fraud the
SltizenS Cluo, men say that # they had
dow annf %
162 votes 1t would have been just as easy
10 add TWO or three times that number,
they say without causing any greater
cutlery about fraud on the part of their
opponents. Better still, they claim, by
active work they could have brought 800
or 400 more voters to the polls, but they
did not feel that it was necessary to do so.
The Citizens Club men take a malicious
pleasure In calling attention to the num-
Der of the Liberal Club nominees at Mon
day nights mass meeting, who have an
uounced that their names were used with
taking any hand in elections this year
The list now includes Messrs. G. B. What
ley and f. c. Battey Of the congressional
delegation, ]. A. G. Carson of the SEN
atorial delegation, and r. Geffcken Of
The executive committee. Mr.. II. G. Hat-
den. who was named on the executive
committee, also stated to a friend that his
name had been used without his author
ity or consent. This is pointed to by the
Citizens Club men as showing the weak
ness of their opponents, when the men
named by them on their ticket decline TO
serve.
I'VE got nearly 700 votes in the pri-
mary" said a prominent Citizens Club
member Had the contest been an eXcit-
ing one at all we could easily have gotten
500 more The registered white vote ell
gible in the primary was 4,662. At least
Is per cent. would not have voted in the
primary which would make vote of
less than 1000 A vote of 1900 would
have been a sure winner, and ! think
even our opponents Will concede that we
could have gotten out that many
A Liberal Club man, who looked closely
after what was going on during the pro-
gress of the primary, said that instead
Of no effort being made to get out a fun
vote the Citizens Club workers in the
First district at least. were drawing up
voters all day and urging them to vote
Efforts We're made to get every wore
possible among the Central railroad en-
ployes. With that information it LOOKS
as though the Citizens Club leaders d'd
not rely on the patriotism Of their con-
stituents to turn ont a vote.
