ADMINISTRATOR LEADERS "sAT
THINGS" ABOUT CARD.

Pro Brannen-RnwIs Circular Sent to
Voters of EnnRham COunty-One
or Two of the Circulars Reached
savannah Yesterday Morning and
Chatham Politicians TnlISed-Deny
That Fight is BEING Made on RO-
tatiOu System-Executive Commit
tee Meets Monday.
With the primary only three days
away the senatorial contest in the
First district is reaching the fever
point.
Under the caption Savannah Lays
Down Law to bingham" a circular
has been put into the hands of the
voters of the adjoining county and
Chatham county politicians are not
at all pleased.
One or two of the circulars reached
6avannah yesterday morning and the
administration followers began saying
things.
They were offended at the contents
of the circular, because they contend
that the charges made are not true,
and because Col Rufus e. Lester
was referred to in a "slurring man
ner."
Circular on BOssism.
The circular is not signed and is as
sollows
The Savannah politicians in mass
meeting assembled last Tuesday night,
passed a resolution saying If Efing-
ham did not vote as Savannah wanted
them to on the senatorial question.
they will repudiate the action of the
people OF Effingham.
How is this for bossism?
do the independent people of Eff
ingham belong to Chatham
THE same meeting in Savannah in
6orsed Lester, who seems to think the
office belongs to him.
In every section of the district peo-
pie are tired of Savannah running the
whole business, and they are going to
vote for Brannen from Bulloch county.
Let the independent manhood of
bingham assert itself and teach the
Savannah bosses a lesson"
Not Fighting for FOy.
I'VE do not say that bingham coun-
fy must elect John f. Foy," said
header of the administration forces
who had scanned the circular, but
we do say that we will not agree to
the election of Col. Morgan Rawls.
There is no use to mince matter
now. We object to Col. Rawls. We
do not want to do away with the ro-
cation system and we are not fight
ing for Mr. Foy. We are simply OPP
posing a man who is vacillating.
I'VE contend that Chatham county
Is vitality interested in the selection
of a senator for this district, and we
~fert,A al
that Effingham county select man
who will not antagoniEe our interests.
Fight on Col. RawIs.
I'VE have no candidate for the office
and do not intend to have one. We
simply propose to insist that a man
who viii be perfectly fair to us be
chosen. And we do not feel that Col.
Rawls is such a man.
at is quite true that we are making
q fight on him, but certainly not in
the interest of any other candidate.
NE do not anticipate that the pro
Brannen- Rawls circular will do Col
Rawls any good in bingham, since
Col. Lester has many staunch sup
porters there who are certain to take
notice of the circular that has been
issued
