Georgia will take an active part in
state politics this fall.
It is declared that candidates for
governor and other statehouse officers
will be nominated at the state conven-
ton. If this plan is carried out it
will be the first time in a number of
years that the Republicans have put
state ticket in the field and will bring
them more prominently into the arena
of state politics.
Considerable interest attaches to the
naming of straight Republican state
ticket and is declared by prominent
members of the party that an active
campaign will be inaugurated.
One of the principal features OF the
c, nvention will be the naming OF the
delegates to the national convention

10Th, and the indications are that there
will be warm contests for these places.
