At the meeting of the City Demo-
cratic Executive Committee, held in
the council chamber yesterday after
noon at l o'clock, ChaS. II. Nillar
who, with Frank D. Sanders, was en-
titled to have his name printed upon
the ballots for the second primary for
city marshal, announced that he
would not be candidate for the Of
fee, but would withdraw and re-
quested the committee that his name
be withheld rom the ballot. The re-
quest was, of course, granted.
This was the interesting feature OF
the meeting, which was held for the
purpose of selecting clerks and in
spectOrs for the second primary
There were present Chairman Jones
and Committeeman Anderson, Aiken,
Broughton and Quina. "A number of
those entitled to enter the second pri-
mary as candidates We're also present
and participated in the meeting by
invitation so far as the selection OF
officials of the election was concerned.
About the first matter to come to
the attention of he melting was when
,Chas.s H. SViliaf, who was second in
the FIRST primary for. marshal, arose
and made the statement Co the com
mittee that he had decided, owing TO
the fact that the people had shown
by their vote IN the first primary that
they desired MIR. Sanders. not to OPP
pose the latter in the second primary
and requested that his name not be
placed upon the ballot.
Clerks and inspectors
The committee then proceeded to
select clerks and inspectors of the
primary of May 2. The candidates
were allowed a voice in the selection
and all were satisfied. The same
polling places as were in use last
Tuesday will be used again. The
clerks and inspectors are as follows:
Precinct No. 12-Ed. Reilly. Jas.
Largue, Jr.. Lee Daniel, inspectors:
J. Mel. GilIis, clerk.
Precinct No. 80. z. White, II.

I. Johnson, clerk.
Precinct No. 15-JOs. Riera, Philip
Klein, T. S. Caro-, inspectors; c. II.
Williams, clerk.
No Action Taken.
The committee took no action
towards allowing a vote to be taken
to fill the newly created elective Off
ces, neither was it expected that such
would be done as the body has no
power to place the names upon the
regular ballot. 1t is probable that
the candidates will meet before the
second primary and make some ar
engagements for a ballot to be taken.
ViIIar Talks.
Chas. II. Villar, who made such
good race in the first primary for
city marshal, when seen last night by
a Journal representative, made the
following statement regarding his
withdrawal:
Il withdrew from the race for city
marshal for the reason that ! believe
Captain Sanders TO be the choice Of a
majority of the people of the city for
that position. / received a most fat
tering vote in the first primary and
believe that my support in the second
primary would have been much
stronger, but to enter a campaign AT
this time after having just emerged
from one would have cost both time
and money, neither Of which 1 can
afford.
Il therefore decided" said MI
Villar, that it would be unWise at
this time for me to remain in the
race for a longer period. / wish
though, to extend my cordial thanks
TO the many friends who not only
voted for me in the first primary,
but worked in my behalf, and am
proud of the fact that | was the
second choice of the voters of Pen.
sacola for the responsible position"
