all questions as to the progress of the
various candidates was mo change"
and IL became evident that the Black
forces expected TO be beaten In the
convention upon the first ballot, If Mr.
Roosevelt should not be withdrawn be-
fore that time. The attitude OF the
Black men at 10 o'clock was best de-
scribed briefly by the statement OF ono
OF the most ardent of the governors
supporters who said:
IF Mr.. Roosevelt's name goes into
the convention he will receive the
nomination on the first ballot without
any doubt. We have never claimed
that We could beat him, but We still
insist that he is not an eligible candi-
date. and that In nominating him the
Republican party puts itself and him
in jeopardy. II would be unwise 10
withdraw Gov. Black as a candidate
until Mr.. Roosevelt is really nominated
as there might possibly be at the last

in nomination i'm the convention.

ed that there was little or no attention

SECOND GEORGIA MEN AT CAMP
BROWN SOON TO BE DISCHARGED.

Companies Now Busy With Their
Muster RoIIs-Five Copies Have 10
BE Made out for RecOrds-BIg La
bOr InVOIved-Cnpt. Trippe Expects
Everything to BE in Readiness for
Mastering Out on saturday-SOme
of the Men Sorry the Regiment Is
to GO-They Wnnt to stay in the
Army and viii Try to Get Trans
fcrred to other Regiments.
The First Battalion Of the Second Geor-
gia Regiment will be mustered out at
Camp Brown by Capt. Trippe next Sat
urday. He received instructions from the
war department yesterday to proceed with
the work.
Ever since the return of the battalion TO
camp after the expiration of the thirty
days furloughs the men were given the
non-commissioned officers and company
clerks have been busy with the captains
of the companies preparing the muster
rolls that have to be made out before the
men can be discharged from the service.
There are five copies of this roll for each
company They convey every bit of the
history of a mans connection with the
army, as it appears on the records that are
kept, and the information is required for
four officers. Two of the copies go to the
paymaster, one to the adjutant general of
the army one to the adjutant general of
the state and the last to the company
commander. Getting up the rolls repre-
who do it are kept busy for some days.
1t is believed that the muster rolls and
other work incident to the mastering out
of the companies will have been completed
by Saturday. Rations for the battalion
have been drawn through that day, it hav-
ing been expected scme time ago by Capt.
Trippe that he would be able to get all
the details of the work complete and be
in readiness to give the men their dis
charge papers by that time.
The news that the regiment cannot be
kept in the service was received by a num-
ber of those who had elected TO remain
in with considerable disappointment. Sew
erai of them have asked one of their Off
GERS to try to make some arrangement by
which they can transfer to other com
mands, but it is thought there will be diff
ficulty about this. Only one of the men
has expressed a preference as to which
command he would like to remain in, the
only thing thought of by the most of them
being to stay in. They like the army and
want to stick to 1t 10 get to visit Cuba.
The officer will try to have them trans
ferred as they wished and will make the
effort to-day, but he does not anticipate
that he win be successful, as the depart
ment is not adopting this plan with those
who desire to remain in. When a regi-
ment is discharged all the men, whether
they want to or not, are turned loose.
