Executive Committee OF the Gambler
Club of Chatham County Makes
Arrangements to Secure Managers
Committee Appointed TO Report
Back Tomorrow Night-The Two
County Executive Committees En-
pected to Meet on saturday to
Make Final Arrangements for the
Primary.
The executive committee of the Gambler
Club of Chatham county held meeting
in the City Court room yesterday at noon'
for the purpose of discussing the matter
OF MANAGERS to represent the interests OF
Hon. Allen D. Gambler IN The coming prl-
mary Of June g.
There was quite a large attendance oil
the members of the committee, the meet
ing being presided over by Chairman W.
T. Bailey. Hon. F. G. duBignon, chair
man of the state Democratic executive
committee, had just returned from At
lanta, after having spent a couple OF days
at headquarters, and was present at the
meeting
The important question before the meet
ing was that relating 10 managers. After
some discussion 1t was decided to appoint
a committee Of one from each Of the city
districts. whose duty it shall be to secure
one manager and one clerk for each of the
four boxes for the city districts. The other
districts will be looked after later.
Chairman Bailey appointed on that Com
mittee Messrs. Richard Wickham from the
First. Frank McDermott from the Second,
A. J. Garfunkel from the Third and James
Mcbride from the Fourth district This
committee will select and make arrange
ments to secure the necessary managers
and clerks, and viii report back to another
meeting Of the executive committee Of the
Gambler Club to be held tomorrow night
at $50 clock, in the County Commission
ers' office.
The names of the managers and clerks
so selected viii be handed TO the sub-com-
mittees from the two county executive
committees. Mr.. John Powers is chairman
of that appointed by DR.. Duncan, and Mr..
J. S. Collins of that appointed by Mr.. du
Bignon. These two subcommittee are OK
pected 10 hold meeting on Wednesday
night, and TO report to the two executive
committees which win probably be called
together on Saturday. To these two sub
committees is left the matter OF the entire
arrangements for the primary, their
actions to be approved by the executive
committees. They win name the mana
gers of the election, provide the arrange
ment of the boxes and name members of
the new county executive committee to be
voted for, selecting twelve from each fac
ton.
During the discussion of the subject of
managers, some one suggested that MEM
bers of the county executive committees
might be secured to act as managers and
clerks, thereby saving considerable eX-
pense. One of the members present did
not think this a good plan since he con-
Nsidered the members of these committees
might do better work on the outside.
Il don't agree with you" said another
member, some of the best work that has
ever been done, has been done on the in
side"
The ambiguity In his remark, no doubt
unintentional, brought forth a hearty
laugh on all sides.
1t is probable that arrangements will be
made here in Savannah TO furnish tick
cts to be used in the primary
to bingham, Bryan, Liberty and McIn-
tosh counties. 1t has been found that
great many counties Throughout the state
are short on arrangements for securing
tickets.
Col. Gambler will probably be in savan-
nah about week from tonight, and ar
engagements are now being made to have
him address, his friends here at that time.
ALI of his days are taken between now
and the primary, but he win be able to
give a night to Savannah, and about Mon
day or Tuesday night next, is expected
4 H.
voters of Chatham. Col Gambler will
speak at Moutrie, in Colquitt county, to-
morrow, and later on in the week he viii
be in Tattnall county, having taken up his
campaign in the southern part of the
state.
The Gambler Club will make arrange
ments TO secure a large hall, and Col
Gambler will undoubtedly be given a warm
reception. His friends are becoming more
confident of his overwhelming success
than ever, and IL Is predicted by them
now that he win carry from 80 20 IS of
the 1877 couples In the state, and that he
will have from $50 TO go of the 800 votes
In the convention. Reports from NIcIn-
tosh, bingham and several other coun-
ties in this section indicate that he Is in
the lead there and his friends here be-
lieve the First Congressional district will
give him a rousing majority. There are a
good many election schemes and plans
under way, and the compaign win no
doubt be productive of some interesting in
cidents.
The plan of voting in Chatham will have
TO be changed somewhat, owing to the
fact that the 1886 registration win prob
ably be used. it was intended and decid-
ed by the executive committees that line
six boxes should be arranged according
10 certain alphabetical lists. but the reg
istration Of 1896 is arranged by districts,
ana II II Is used, the boxes VIII no doubt
have to be arranged 10 conform to Il.
