viduafly expressed a desire to have
Mr.. Cunningham retain the chairman
ship. and this, too. appears to be the
desire of those most interested.
Mr.. Cunningham has established
the fact that he is thoroughly capable
of experimenting an election" said
prominent leader of the Citizens Club
yesterday, land he is absolutely fair in
all of his dealings. The people have
the utmost confidence in Mr.. Cunning
ham, and it is only proper that we
should urge him to remain as chair

good judgment of the present chair

members of the committee will re-elect
Chairman Cunningham and urge upon
him the importance of accepting. No
better man can be secured for the

Plans for Primary.
The naming of managers and clerks
will be by the new committee, and at
the same time the number of boxes to
be used in the PRIMARY will be made
known. 1t is thought that there will
be a box for eachsof the city districts
and one for the country districts. The
matter of selecting managers and
clerks will be determined after a con-
ference with the friends of the various
candidates.
Next to the contest for the governor
ship chief interest centers in the race
between Thomas Eason and Wiley Will
lianls for Prison Commissioner Both
men have number of friends in Chat
ham county. Candidate Williams is
we'll known in Savannah, and has
strong following. When chief of police
of Columbus he counted his friends
here by the score, and they are quite
active in his behalf. Commissioner
Eason also has quite a following, al
though the supporters of Mr.. Williams
are confident that he will carry the
county.
Agriculture COmmissiOnership.
The friends of Commissioner of
| Agriculture o. B. Stevens say that he
! will carry Chatham county. His OPP
| ponent, r. T. Nesbitt, also has a fol-
| lowing in Chatham and his friends
have not remained idle. The contest
for state school commissioner in which
are entered G. r. Glenn, Mark john
son and w B. Merritt has attracted
but little local attention. but it is said
that either Mr.. Glenn or Mr.. Merritt
will receive the vote of the Chatham
delegation.
The Executive Committee has the
naming of the six delegates to the con-
vention to be held in Atlanta, and this
will be done some time after the pri-
mary.
