While it is true that Mr.. Ogg was an

Several days ago 1t was announced

ONLY TWO QUESTIONS.
What State Convention Which Meet
in Atlanta June Will Have to do

What State Convention Which Meets
in Atlanta June Will Have to do
The state democratic convention is
to be held in Atlanta next Wednesday
and with reference to the meeting the
Atlanta Constitution Of yesterday
says:
The most interesting feature of the
state conventions work will be the Sc
: lection of delegates TO the national
democratic convention at st. Louis.
Chief interest centers, of course. in
Georgia's big four the delegates from
the state at large. These will be el.
ected directly by the convention, while
the district delegates, two from each
congressional district, will be nominat-
ed by the counties composing the re-
spectlVe congressional districts, and
then elected by the convention.
Eight well known Georgians are now
prominently spoken of in connection
with the positions Of delegates at LARGE
but of course, only four of these can
be chosen. The eight now before the
public are Congressman John w. Mad.
doX, of Rome; Congressman ]. M
GriSgs, of Dawson; Hon. C. r. Pendle,
ton, of Macon; Hon. James M. Smith
o! Oglethorpe; Hon. j. r. Gray. of At.
lanta; Colonel J. Fl. Estill, of Sayan,
nah; Judge II. II. Perry, of Gainesville
ana Judge Joel l. Sweat, of Waycross.

the convention meets, but at present
all the talk centers around those here
named. Each dictrict will select the
Two delegates allowed it, present their
names to the convention and thew win
doubtless, be named without question
Next in point OF interest 10 the
cholce OF delegates from the state at
large is The question as to whether
the Georgia delegation will 20 with
or without instructions. There is a
VIDE difference Of opinion on this point
1t IS confidently believed thaat the
Georgia delegation will go TO st. I.ouis
with a view of following in the wake of
New York state and casting its vote

there is clamor in many sections

don tree hand to follow in the lead
ol the majority, though under the
unit rule, in the event there should be
unexpected developments and the tide
Of the convention should be turned 10
wards another candidate. One Of the
most interesting discussions In the
convention will undoubtedly deyelor
on this point.
The only other feature of interest
before the convention is the nominat
ing of an electoral ticket for president
and vice president OF the United Stat.
es. The delegates lrom the counties
composing each congressional district
will nominate the elector for that dis
! trict and these nominatings will be
confined by the convention.
