TO MEET ON MONDAY
AND FIX THE DATE.
Candidates For City Offices Will Get
Ready.
FOUR CANDIDATES FOR MAYOR
City Executive Committee Will Meet
Tomorrow and Call the Democratic
Primary For Mayor, Clerk and
Aldermen.

The city Democratic Executive Com.
mittee will meet tomorrow and fix the
date of the primary for the election OF
mayor, aldermen and clerk and treas
urer, and likewise prescribe the rules
under which the said election will be
held. So far, so good.
And it is quite probable that an early
date will be agreed upon.
While this matter is entirely with
the committee, of course, it is the opin-
ion of many that some date about the
Goth inst. will be selected, thus giving
two weeks to the campaign.
This, it is suggested, will be time
enough for the voters to determine be-
tween the respective candidates and
obViate long drawn out campaign.
However, should the candidates want
more time the committee, doubtless,
will readily consider any suggestion.
Mr.. Arthur Rylander, a member of
the committee, will come up from Lake
Butler, Fla, for the purpose of attend
ing this meeting.
It is rather peculiar fact that of the
five members of the executive commit
tee, as chosen two years ago, only two
are now IN the city-Messrs. B. 81.
Jossey and F. G Oliver. The others
either do business elsewhere and re-
tain residence here or have gone away
entirely.
Mr.. Rylander, of course, is resi-
dent of the city aud qualified to serve
on the committee Messrs +. M.
Pagan and ]. 81. Mckenzie, however,
now reside in Columbus and Social
Circle respectively.
With the date of the primary fixed,
the candidates can go to work in earn
est. With four candidates for mayor
already amour ced and host of alder
manic aspirants to take the track, the
campaign is going to average up quite
interesting.
Let the committee act at once, and
then let the band play on for the four
cornered quadrille and the aldermanic
side steps.

Here Looking For Landslide to the

The greatest and most important
campaign in the history of the nation,
perhaps, comes to a close tomorrow.
and on Tuesday the voters will decide
between Bryan and Hanna as to which
shall be President, Mckinley, OF
course, Is but a mere incident in the
campaign.
It is the great battle between the
people on one side and the trusts, cor
ruption and Imperialism, with kindred
evils, on the other.
Quite recently the outlook for DEM
ocratic success has grown brighter,
and astute local politicians predict a
great Democratic victory. Bryan sem
timent IN doubtful States, they think,
is far stronger now than at any time
during the long and exciting cam
paign.
Many here firmly believe that Bryan
will be overwhelmingly elected.
In such event Americus is prepared
to go Wild with the rest of the country,
and our demonstration will be one
never to be forgotten, The torchlights
have been made ready.
Never has campaign been watched
with more absorbing interest. Every
feature of 1T has been discussed here,
and after sizing up the situation from
various standpoints many here are firm
in their belief that Hanna's forces Will
be routed by the Democrats.
And this belief will be steadfast until
the result is announced,
Of course the town will ''sit mp"
Tuesday night to hear the returns.
The telegraph and telephone compan-
les will display the news promptly.
Those who attend the theatre will get
the news there as we'll, as bulletins
will be read from the stage between

Don't bet, but come out Tuesday
night and hear of Bryan's sweeping
victory.
