1t has been frequently stated that the
primary election law would be in full force
and effect on March Is, when the nominees
for the constitutional convention are to
be chosen. This Is error, as the primary
is a penal law and all penal laws passed
by the legislature do not go into effect
until thirty days after the adjournment of
the legislature unless otherwise stated in
the act itself.
The Dallas county executive committee
at it's meeting yesterday provided the neces-
sary machinery for holding the primary
and on Saturday week all white democrats
will vote for their choice for three candi-
dates to represent this county in the con-
stitutional convention, and will at the same
time vote for sixteen delegates to the
state convention to select the delegate-at-
large from this the thirtieth senatorial
district.
There is no opposition for delegates from
the county. Hon. H. S. D. Mallory, Colonel
b. +. Ellis and Hon. ) r. Statterfeld
being the only candidates announced and
1t being understood generally that no one
else will run. Hon. f. l.. Nettus and Mr..
III T. MaK f1of ovaIxy lat far
delegate-at-large and both will put tickets
of sixteen delegates in the field to be voted
for. Mr.. Pettus is laid up with rheumatism
but hopes to be out in few days. The
contest will then be made short, sharp
one and pressed with vigor by both candi-
dates.
Besides the constitutional convention
politics, Selma has a municipal campaign
on that though having been waged for
some time appears to have excited little
interest as yet, the average voter presuma-
bly, waiting to get through with one primary
election before taking on another.
s There are only two candidate for mayor
Captain V. b. Atkins, well known all over
the state, having been for a number of
years Captain of Troop c., the Dallas
Dragons. and Hon. A. L. Mcleod, no less
well known from having served in the leg
fslature. Captain Atkins is a wholesale
groceryman, while Mr.. Mcleod Is a prom
inent member of the Dallas bar.
In only one ward of the city does there
seem to be any interest taken in the con-
test for alderman and that is in the fourth.
where there are five candidates and only
one can be successful. No candidates have
announced at all in the first and second
wards and there is no opposition to John
3. O'Glynn and in the fifth and none to
Councilman w. d. Lockhart in the third.
The municipal primaries are to held on
April and there is yet time for some fun
to be injected into the campaign.
