The designation of the boxes and the
selection of managers and clerks were
left entirely to the discretion of Mr..
Vetsburg so that the action he has
taken in the premises does not require
by any other authority. His
and appointments are
final and complete.
Registrars Hard at Work.
The registrars of the county are still
busily at work purging the registration
lists of those not properly qualified to
vote and the purged lists will be COM
pleted and placed in the hands of the
managers of each box on the day of the
election, before the polls open. The
lists will be arranged in accordance
with the arrangement of the boxes, one
for each of the city districts and a
fifth for the four country districts.
There will be but one contest in
which the voters of the county will
be entitled to participate. This is the
contest for associate justice of the Su-
preme Court to fill the unexpred term
of Justice Hal H. Lewis, recently re-
signed.
This race has been considerably sim
plified by the recent Withdrawals of
two of the announced candidates, Will
liam r. Hammond and r. B. Russell,
leaving only two in the field. These
are John S. Gambler of Atlanta and
John p. Ross of Macon.
All the active work that has been
done in Savannah and Chatham county
as regards this race has been in the
interest of Judge Gambler, and here
Judge Ross will suffer from this Sc
rious disadvantage. The latter has,
however. a number of warm personal
friends in the city. by whom his abil-
ity and worth are recognized, and
these are likely to bestir themselves
in his behalf before the day of the
election.
The printing of tickets and their
distribution among the voters will be
done under the direction of the Dem
ocratic Executive Committee of the
county, to which body the candidates,
whose proper function it is, have dele
gated the work An assessment has
been levied upon the candidates to
pay the expenses thus incurred.
