chairman of the democratic executive
committee of each of the three coun-
ties-E. w. Killingsworth of Clay,
R. L. Moye of Randolph and M. C.
Edwards of Terrell.
1t was rather early for the COM
mittee to meet, as the state commit
tee has not yet met and perhaps
will not do so in sometime. The
meeting was held at the urgent re-
jquest of the Clay county member,
the county from which, under the
rotation system that prevails in the
chosen.
Organization of the committee was
perfected by the election of Mr.. Kill

The Resolutions.
IL rncO1uoI IN1r Tho
the Democratic Executive Commit
tee, regularly assembled, for the
Eleventh Senatorial District that we
reaftirm our allegiance to the time
honored principle of rotation IN the
selection of the Senator from this
district.
And, whereas, in the due course
of events it is the time for the county
of Clay to furnish the next nominee
for Senator from this district for
the General Assembly of Georgia;
and
Whereas, the law of this State
now requires that the primary for
such officer shall not be held earlier
than the 9Th day of August, 1910;
and, whereas, the law requires that
the nomination of the members of
the General Assembly shall be held
simultaneously with the governor
and other state house officials,
''Be it resolved, That primary be
called in the Eleventh Senatorial
District of Georgia, to be held in the
counties of Clay, Randolph and Ter
rell at the same time and subject
to the same rules, regulations, re-
strictiOns and registration that are
required for the state house officers.
'Be it further resolved, That the
same managers hold said election,
and that when the returns are con-
solidated the chairman of the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee in the
counties of Clay, Randolph and Ter
rell certify to the chairman of the
Senatorial Executive Committee of
the district the vote, showing the
number of votes received by each
candidate, and that the chairman of
the senatorial committee shall de-
clare the result.
BE it further resolved That the
name of every candidate shall appear
upon the ticket under the caption,
"State Senator Eleventh Senatorial
District. Vote for ONE and that the
voter be required to strike the
names Of such candidates as he does
not wish to vote for.
"Be it further resolved, That in
case there is q contest the chairman
shall then call the District EXecu-
tive Committee together, and they
shall have full power to consider and
pass upon and decide the same
Candidates Announcing.
Hon. Emmett r. Shaw has already
announced his candidacy in the FIT.
Gaines Sentinel, and it is said there
will probably be other announce
ments in a short while.
Whether Clay county will adopt
some method of determining her
choice of candidates and present
only one to the district or whether
the candidates will fight it out in
the general primary remains to be
seen.
