THE TRACK is CLEAR
READY FOR A RACE,
Council Has Ordered Election For an
Alderman.
UNEXPIRED TERM OF CAMERON.
September 9Th The Date Named and
Candidates Have But Two Weeks
Wherein to Buttonhole Voters. The
Council Named Assessors.

Americus' midsummer political cam
paign is now on, and during the next
two weeks ssp1rants for the vacancy on
the aldermanic board, created by the
resignation of Alderman J.E Cameron,
will proceed to hustle after votes. The
race promises to be lively, though short.
But this will be better for the people
and candidates alike.
Council wac convened in special ses-
sion yesterday morning. The election
was duly ordered and Thursday, Sept.
9Th named as the date for this rnex-
pected battle of ballots.
OF course, in accordance with the
custom here, the contest will have to
be determined by democratic pri-
mary, and as this must, perforce, take
place before the regular election or
dered by Council yesterday the cam
paign is going to be exceedingly short.
Only two weeks is thus allowed, and
if primary is held, as seems certain,
the two elections will be crowded
within that time.
Candidates will have to hustle as
they never hustled before.
Chairman A. G. Bivins, of the city
democratic executive committee, will
doubtless call his committee together
at once and fix the date for the forth
coming primary, if held.
In view of the fact that the regular
city election for three members of
council will be held in November many
citizens hoped that this extra election
might be deferred until then, but the
charter prescribes that it must be held
within thirty days,
OF course only qualified democrats
who have registered and paid last
years taxes can vote in the democratic
primary.
