gates and the Next Executive Com
mittee-A Claim That 1t Would
Bring the Party in Chatham COun-
ty Together Again.
Savannah is a great club town. Clubs,
both social and political, are in favor.
Every political campaign produces its
growth Of them and they never lack men,
bers. 1t is evident that the present
Gubernatorial campaign will be no excep-
ton.
Movements are already quietly on foot
for the organization of Atkinson and
Gambler clubs. These movements will
probably mature within the next ten days,
will be organized in the interest of these
two candidates. 1t is not likely that
either club will lack for members.
Considerable interest is being manifest
ed in the Gubernatorial situation and
there is a general disposition among the
Chatham Democrats to get into the game
early this year. The two factions appear
TO be pretty well split up over the ques-
ton and it is not likely that partisan
politics will be allowed to cut much
figure in the fight. Many leading Liberals
have declared for Gambler, yet Mr.. duBig-
non, who fought the Liberals in the last
campaign, is looked upon as the leading
Gambler man. On the other hand most of
the younger element of the Citizens Club
appears to be inclined towards Atkinson
and at the same time Mayor Meldrim
was the first man in Chatham to declare
publicly for Atkinson. Both Messrs. du-
Bignon and Meldrim, however, express
a Discrimination towards engaging in any
political work at present and the proba-
bility is that the local fight will be left
to others.
The suggestion of a white primary for
the selection of Gubernatorial delegates
and perhaps for the selection
of delegates to other
conventions also. seems to meet with IA
vor and will very probably be agreed to
and some think that in this matter the fac
tons may be disposed of and the party
brought together again under a single ex-
ecutiye committee. 1t is evident that the
only way for Chatham to exercise her
proper influence in the state conventions
is by presenting a united front there and
leaving factional differences at home
and the effort will undoubtedly be made
to bring this about by the meeting of the
next convention.
Mr.. Berners name is seldom heard in
the political discussions though he doubt
less has friends here who will advocate his
candidacy at the proper time.
