not yet been issued. The situation
has not materially changed during the
past week so far as possible candi-
dates are concerned, except that
Judge Maher, OF Augusta, has with
drawn in Mr.. Hamiin's favor, should
the latter decide to become eandi-
date. The democrats, of course, are
busy in their efforts to keep the re-
publicans and progressives apart, for
in that lies their only hope of demo-
cratic successor to Congressman
Goodwin. Washington county pro-
gressives have formally requested E..

candidate. AS yet no republican
likely to become a nominee, has an
