Since the war began the average poll
tician is almost ready to say, with OtheIo,
that his occupations gone. There are
many whose path has been diverted from
the hunt for civil Office any they have
sought and sometimes found soft berths
In the volunteer army.
The primary of June g. at which guber-
material candidate and candidates for
STATE house Offices will practically BE- NOM
mated. is almost here. yet the fact seems
70 be almost overlooked by the politicians
most interested. The Gambler men in
Chatham county are the only ones who
have shown any activity here, and i;
seems to be left to them now TO push the
thing along.
Neither one of the subcommittee APP
pointed from the TWO county executive
committees has had a meeting yet. Mr..
John Power. chairman of the commit

The most recent interesting DEVELOPMENT
in local politics win be found i'm the letter
from ex-senator H. G. Wright. published
in another column, in which he declines
10 run for the state senatorship from the
First district, though he has been urged
by many OF his friends to do so.
MIR Wright declines for what he con.
Eiders potent reasons. The PRINCIPAL rea-
son is that the stand he takes Win refer.
ence to the judgeship of the Atlantic cir
cult is not in accord with the view Of
his constituents in Emngham county. Eff
fingham, which is entitled to The sena for
this year under the rotation system has
had considerable talk aud developed con

called there home rule" In other words
the people of Efingham or many of them
object to the election of a Savannah man
as judge of the Atlantic circuit believing
that the judge should come from one Of
the country counties. In this connection
II will be remembered thai the Eningbam
county grand jury indorsed the candidacy
OF Mr. Paul Il. Seabrook. Mr.. Wright
