POLITICAL PUT IS
 STILL BOILING Date for the Primary at EnSIey
 to be Set COMMITTEE WILL MEET Date Will Probably Not Be Determined Tonight-Many Candidates Are
 Being Mentioned for
 City Offices.
COMMITTEE WILL MEET

Ensley, August 29.-(Special)-T city democratic exec utive committee will meet tomorrow night at o'clock in the ln- ferior court room to consider some mat ters of great importance
 It seems to be the general opinion now that the date of the municipal primary will not be set at the committee meet ing. This is the first time that the new committee has met, and although some steps will be taken looking forward to the primary, stlll the sentiment of the com mittee seems to be not to fix any date just yet.
 The committee will probably appoint sub committees to look into the primary plan, and make a report to the executive committc at a later date.
 Judge Charles H. Mandy, chairman of the committee, In discussing the probable action of the committee, said: "rhe com mittee has. not met since it's organization two years ago. The object of the meeting tomorrow night is not to set the date for tho primary but to refer the matter to subcommittee to report back later I don't know whether a majority of the committee favor a late or early date, and have no idea when the committee will is- sue a formal call. The matter, however will be carefully considered before any action whatever Is taken"
 The members of the committee are Charles H. Mandy, chairman; George w. Welch, secretary; F. M Slye. E. w. Wood, D. B. Bird T. L. Sugg and Ro- maine Boyd.
 The political pot however. is still boiling and numerous candidates are being men toned for the various offices So far only one of the candidates out of the six that have been mentioned for mayor, has stated positively that he Is out of the race. That one Is Dr. w W. McTyiere who has withdrawn from the race and announced tbat he will be a candidate to succeed himself as member of the coun- ell
