Officers are Chosen for the Primary
Next Thursday.
! At an important and interesting meet
! ing held last night In the dining-room OF
| Murphy's Hotel Annex, the City Demo-
cratic Committee named the voting pre-
cincts for the congressional primary
| which occurs next Thursday. In addition,
one registrar and two judges were elected
| for each precinct. the former having been
recommended by ward delegations and
| the latter by candidates Jefferson Wal
| lace and John Lamb. each of the gentle
men furnishing the name OF a supporter
| to represent him in the capacity of Judge.
There was a fight over selection of judges
in one precinct. the First Jefferson and
the result was that the selection was left
with the delegation from this ward and
Messrs. Lamb and Wallace
This difference was ocCaSioned by the
fact that Mr.. Lamb. in submitting his
list Of judges, named Mr.. Goodman Da-
Wis, who had already been selected by
the ward committee as registrar for TINS
precinct. The committee did not think
that it would be right for Mr.. Davis to
serve in the double capacity of registrar
and judge for Captain Lamb, whereupon
Mr.. Woodward. one of the committee
men. and evidently a. Lamb supporter,
stated that he would step around TO Saen-
ger Halle and see the Congressman in
regard TO the selection of another man
FOR judge in this precinct.
It was only a few minutes before Mr..
Woodward returned with small card
on which Captain Lamb had written the
name of Mr. s. C Shield. He asked that
this gentleman be substituted for Mr..
Davis as Judge, but it developed that Mr..
Wallace had already asked that Mr..
Shield be named as a judge in his inter
est.
A spirited debate occurred between Mr.
Clyde Saunders, Of Clay Ward and Mr.
James Disney, of jefferson Ward, the
former taking the stand that inasmuch
as both candidates had named the same
man for judge, one was evidently I'M
aware Of Mr.. Shields leaning. He thought
the matter should be referred to the
ward committee and the two candidates
for final adjustment. Mr.. Disney stated
that Mr.. Wallace had selected Mr.. Shield
as judge only after consulting with him
as to how he stood. EIe thought that Cap
tain Lamb should be requested to select
another man to represent him as judge
and Mr.. Shield should be retained as
judge for Mr.. Wallace.
Meantime Mr.. Woodward made 4, sec
ond trip to Saenger Hall, returning with
the name Of Mr.. I. G. Christian, Cap
tain Lamb, feeling sure of his support
Despite this fact, it was finally decided to
refer the entire matter to the Jefferson
Ward delegation and the two candidates
and the result will probably be the nam
ing of Mr. Shield as Wallace's Judge,
and Mr.. Christian as Lambs judge.
tho midst Of he 1aIoa To H. Z
Doherty, chairman Of the committee,
remarked that the gentlemen present
probably overlooked the fact that in
as1nuch as both Captain Lamb and MI
Wallace had been under a heavy fire
for some time, each was anxious to find
a. Shield
