man King of the Marengo executive COM
mittee has called a meeting of the COM
mittee to meet the day before the county
convention to decide all contests that
may arise. Captain Johnston's friends
think they see in it a pre-arranged plan
to capture the convention by throwing
out all contested boxes and causing con-
tests to be sent up from beats where
there Is absolute certainty of Johnston
majorities. They claim that this was
never done before, that the convention
always decided contest cases. and not the
executive committee. The Johnston men
claim the county by large popular vote,
and say they are not going to be cheated
out of 1t. 1t is rumored that there will
be trouble at the county convention.

white men for Clarke negro Clarke clubs
are said to be organized. No one can
