While the opposition to State House Of
ficers is limited to the same cannot be
said of the solicitors in many of the jul
dicia circuits of Georgia. Out of the
twenty-four circuits there is to be an cleo
ton for solicitor in twenty-one and for
judge in twelve. Principally on account
of the circuit primaries which for the
first time in the history of the state will
be held, it was found necessary by the
State Committee to arrange an earlier
date than usual for The general primary
that more time might be given before
the meeting of the convention for the
consolidation of the increased returns
With few exceptions the solicitors of the
state will have opposition and the warm
est contests of the year will naturally oc-
cur in the circuit primaries. In two of
the circuits there are six candidates for
the sol.citorship in others there are as
many as four and in such counties as
these the prospects for more material
from which to pick are said to be bright
The interest of the state has already been
attracted to the circuit primaries and in
the few weeks left befRe May Is, there
will be no cessation of campaigning, but
more general interest than ever in the re-
suits the primary election day will bring
forth.
