 . Wager.

In meeting of special interest, the Gen. tral Council last night selected the man. agers and clerks for the six polling places in the Montgomery city primary election to be held next Monday. At the same time 1t was announced that six candidates for Mayor and all the candidates who had announced for AL dermen had paid their assessments and would continue in the race until its end. The Council named April IS as the day | for the second primary, If one was needed.
 The selection of managers and clerks made by the Council was not entirely satisfactory to all candidates. At the re- | quest of B. J. Meyer. one of the candi- dates for Mayor, a special meeting was called for tonight at o'clock. Mir. Meyer announced his intention of asking the | Council for authority for each candidate to put a manager at each of the boxes | at his own expense. The Council selected the managers and clerks in executive session and adjourn | ed before the doors were thrown open. | When the candidates were admitted, a request was made for an immediate re- | convening of the Council, but it was | found that so many members had left | that a quorum could not be had. At one time 1t appeared that some of | the candidates and their representatives | who were not satisfied with the Council s | action would file so strong protest that a tense scene might ensue. If any such scene or controversy was impending it's | danger quickly passed with a few words. List of Managers.
