To-day Georgians will have an OPP
portunity to vote for a governor and
for state and county officers. The OPP
portunity for selection, however, will
not be great, as in any practical sense
only the nominees of the Democratic
party offer for the election.
Arrangements for the local conduct
of the election have all been made.
Managers and clerks, as announced in
the Morning News some days ago.
have received their appointment and
will be ready this morning to assume
charge of the duties committed to their
care. They will be sworn in by G..
Reuben Butler, clerk of the Board OF
County Commissioners, and the voting
lists turned over to them by the regis
trars before the polls open.
The polls will open at 7:24 o'clock
this morning and close at 6:24 o'clock
this evening. Despite the prevailing
talk in political circles, there has been
| no appearance of the Populist ticket
and the indications all point to the
conclusion that the Democratic nomi-
nees, so far as this county is concern
| ed, will go into office unopposed. 1t
is said, however, that the Pops" are
keeping their ticket hidden for the
last moment, and it may appear at
any time during the day. If it does.
| ii will be given in this county about
| twenty-five or thirty votes.
There is but one choice offered the
| voters-that of an associate justice of
the Supreme Court to serve the term
| for which Mr.. Justice Hal T. Lewis
was nominated. There are two candi
dates for the office, John S. Gambler
of Atlanta and John P. Ross of Ma
con. There are three justices of the
| Supreme Court to be elected, but two
| of the candidates. Justices Samuel
