The time IS getting short now within
which the political clans may nominate
legislative candidates and go before the
people. i is practically conceded by all
that the primary at which these represent
atsves viii be nominated VIII be held June
6. at the time delegates 10 the state con-
vention are chosen, though the county ex-
ecutive committee has taken 30 definite
action as yet with regard 10 it.
Hon. r. G. duBignon. chairman Of the
committee. VII Dee ln MlledgevlIe. Bald
win county. tomorrow, and expects 10
return home Monday. After consulting
with members Of the committee. he VIII
probably make arrangements to have il
meet as soon as possible. Members OF the
committee say the meeting viii probably
be held the middle OF the latter part Of
next week.
Neither faction has taken any steps as
yet. according 10 prominent members Of
both. 10 put candidates in the field. Both
announced their platform some time age,
and upon these the candidates nominated
will run. For this reason. perhaps, they
do not appear to be in any particular hur-
~ about putting the candidates in the
Held
Various names have been mentioned in
connection with the Offices, but there is
no certainty attached to any Of them. The
executive committee of the Liberal Club,
consisting OF twenty-five members, Will
hold q meeting tonight for thoroughly or
ganizing, and at that time the sltudtlol
viii no doubt be well discussed. This com
mittee, or some other committee, according
10 the desire of the club. viii probably, at
the next general meeting suggest plan
20 De pursued. and candidates TO oppose
those of the Citizens Club. This may be
done al one meeting, or there may be
two general meetings OF the club pelWeeh
now and the time the primary is held
In the Citizens Club II is the executive
committee Of 100 that does the work ana
considers the availability OF different can
didates suggested. This committee VIII
meet prior 10 the general meeting Of
the club, and Will at that time suggest
names for the clubs consideration and
FOR nomination as candidates.
Both CLUBS. however, appear to be await
ing the action Of the county executive com
mittee. Probably il viii not be many days
after the action on the part Of the com
mittee before both sides VIII have their
candidates in the field. There are several
important matters for the executive com
mittee to consider. It Will decide when
and where and under what Circums tances
the primary is to be held. There is little
doubt that it viii be held June g. and
many think IL viii be at the court house,
The other important question the COM
mittee VIII have 10 consider outside OF de-
tailed matters will be that of the registra-
lists purged 10y the registrars before they
are used in the primary, and the Citizens
Club people seem Indifferent in the mat
ter, and say 81 makes little difference
whether they are purged or not as there
are about as many improperly registered
on one side as on the other. All of this,
however, Is a question for the considera-
tion Of the executive committee as IL de-
cides what registration lists shall be used
I'm the conduct of the election. There ap-
pears TO be a desire on the part of all to
make arrangements that viii be fair and
impartial to both factions.
Chairman George b. Whatley of the
gressional district will send out notices
tomorrow calling meeting of the COM
mittee TO take place in Savannah some
time next week probably Thursday or
Friday. The committee will then name
the time and place for holding the con-
gressional convention. The convention is
usually held some time about the middle

Savannah.
