this year and they are not going to
overlook any bets in an effort to get
control of the state capitol. In some
quarters charges are being openly
made that Mr.. Wheaton, the guber-
natorial choice of the late democrat
tic state convention, is only a stalk
ing horse for Gov. Burnquist, but
such is vehemently denied by both
Mr.. Wheaton and Chairman S. u.
Works who will be in charged of the
unwashed this year. Chairman Works
says Mr.. Wheaton is the guberna-
torial choice of the democratic party
in the state and that as such he in
tends to make every effort to win.
There is talk of another contestant
for the democratic gubernatorial
nomination, but so far he has not
materialized. 1t was expected that
J. P. Dwyer of Minneapolis, who was
the gubernatorial candidate two
years ago would file again, but he is
also among the missing.

Mike Boylan, late mayor of Vir-
ginia, was a state capitol caller this
week and as usual his chief topic of
conversation was the possible guber-
material candidacy of his near neigh
Dor Mayor Victor Power of Hibbing.
Power, in Mayor Boylan's opinion,
could distance them all. Mayor Boy
Ian never tires of sounding the prai-
ses of Vic Power. Power, he de-
clared, would sweep the Twin Cities.
Mike is not alone in that opinion.

Though the last day for filing for
state office is less than two weeks
away comparatively few names have
been listed to date. At the state
capitol only three Of the officials
having residence there have filed.
They are State Auditor Preus and
Attorney General Hilton and Rail-
road Commissioner Putnam. Those
close to Secretary >of State Schmahl
are said to be urging him to hold off
until the last minute. It is under
stood they hold to the belief that
there is yet chance for Mr.. Schmahl
to break into the gubernatorial
game. Other officials about the CAPT
toll are expected to file for return
date this week.

At the request of friends filing
blanks were this week forwarded to
Washington for the purpose of list

The supposition is that blanks are

request intinated that Mr.. Miller
might file for the republican nomin-
alton for governor instead. The CUB

Congressman Miller is not taken

More flags are to be displayed in
Americus. There are not as mafy of
the national emblems on display here
as the business men and patriotic
citizens of the community want to see
flying.
Every business house in the city
should display the flag, in the opinion
of the Chamber of Commerce, and ev-
cry public building here should have
the national emblem flung to the
breeze constantly. There should be a
flag displayed in every Office here, and
every service flag should have the
national colors displayed by its side.
The Chamber of Commerce at it's
meeting yesterday adopted resolu-
ton providing that tbs the sense of
that body that the flag should be dis
played more prominently in Americas,
and committee was named to carry
the matter of placing huge flag upon
the water tower at the city hall.
This committee will ask that coun-
Gil defray the expense of erecting a
steel flag pole On the water tower,
and the Chamber of Commerce will
furnish the banner to be displayed
there. In order that the flag may be
visible at all hours, it is planned
have a large spotlight erected in
some convenient place where its rays
will play. constantly upon the Sag
from nightfall until daybreak. In this
manner the flag will be more visible
for miles around and visitors coming
into Amerlcus at night will be I'M
pressed at once with the patriotic
sentiment of the community.
Supt. ]. E. johnson, of the Americus
Lighting Co, has patriotically offered
to furnish free of cost to the city all
the power necessary to maintain the
light, and this feature will add con-
siderably to the patriotic element of
the emblem there displayed. Mer-
chants here have recently complained
of their inability to secure suitable
flags for sale, and this feature will
also be taken up by the Chamber of
Commerce, and stock of flags will
soon be on sale here.

JOHN CARTER BACK
FROM BRUNSWICK; is
HERE TO STAY NOW

John Carter, of Americus, who has
Just returned from Brunswick, Ga,
saws he is here TO stay. Several days
ago he went to Brunswick, which
is reported here as the Mecca of all
those seeking work at high wages,
but evidently he was not pleased with
conditions there hence his return to
Americus stay as he expresses it
himself.
Recema there have been numer-
Gus representatives of certain Bruins
wick concerns in Americus, and they
have succeeded in inducing number
Of persons here to go to that city to
accept employment. If the experience
Of Mr.. Carter is to be taken as fair
reflection of conditions there, how
ever. it might be we'll for others
thinking of going there to talk with
him before leaving Americus. Mr.
Carter did not tell The Times-Re-
corder why he came back after such
a brief stay in Brunswick, but the
emphasis he put upon the statement
that he is back TO stay" is sufficient
to convince even the most skeptical
that all is not well at the Georgia sea
