Plan Adopted by the Executive

Atlanta, April 4.-Possibly more pol
1tlcs were floating about in Atlanta to.
day than has ever been the case be.
fore in the history of the city.
Politicians from every county in the
state are in the city in the interest
of their different friends whoare Ell
ther candidates, or expect to be can
didates, and the State DEM cratic Ex-
ecutive Committee is in ses lion max
ing the rules governing the comiro
coming state primary.
Rules governing state Democratic
primary to be held August 10 and
assessing candidates for officy were
made public late this afternoon fol-
lowing meeting of the state eXecu-
tive committee
The following officers are to be vo-
ted for: Two senators, governor at
torney general, secretary of sta.4,
comptroller general, treasurer, COM
missioner of agriculture, superintend-
ent of education, commissioner Of
commerce and labor, one railro ID
commissioner, one prison commission
er, two supreme court justices, thre )
judges of court of appeals, represen-
tatiVes in congress from the various
districts, state senators, representa-
tives, and judges and solicitors of ST.
perior court
All white electors who are Demo
cratic, and qualified to vote in 1Ee
general elections and who will pledge
themselves to vote for all Democratic
candidates this year, are qualified for
the primary, the act OF voting being
construed as necessary pledge.
In cases where more than one can
didate is to be nominated for particu-
lar office each voter shall vote for as
many persons as there are nomina-
tions to be made. Otherwise his vote
for that office shall not be counted.
Candidates for senate and all state
house offices, who receive highest
number of votes in each county shall
be entitled to full vote of that county
under county unit plan.
In cases of superior court judges
and solicitors, only the counties in
each circuit effected shall vote, and
the candidate receiving the highest
number of votes in the circuit shall
be the Democratic nominee.
In cases of contests for congress
and for state senate, the Democratic
congressional committee, or senator
ial committee, will decide whether
the unit, or the popular vote, prevail
in that district.
In the Democratic convention which
will be held in Macon September 1,
the candidates having the highest
lumber of unit votes wins. Two can
didates tie in unit votes, then the
candidate receiving the highest popu-
lar vote wins. This will prevent any
recurrence of the situation of the last
election when Judge Pottle and Judge
Nash Broyles, running for appeals
bench, tied in unit votes.
Each candidate for governor, and
for United States senator, is assessed
two hundred and fifty dollars and
each candidate for state house office,
including supreme court justice, and
appellate court judges, is assessed one
hundred dollars, which cover all as.
sessments. The payment of the as
sessments shall be made to the secre-
tary of this committee on or before
noon on the first day of August.
1t was announced early in the day
that Governor Slaton would be a can.
didate for Bacon's place, and that
Senator West, who was appointed by
Governor Slaton, would help the Gov.
ernor.
Soon after this announcement it was
announced that ". G. Vereen OF Moul.
trie, and J. Randolph Anderson OF
Savannah would be candidates for the
short term governorship. What Muir
ply Gambler will do about making the
race for governor is a question. Some
