day in this county, much interest was
manifested by each party, and pre-
sented the appearance of old time
politics when each contestant was In
the field, with all his supporters. Inc
contest was close, however, in all
the county tickets, with the exception
of sheriff, where the vote ran large
for the republican candidate. The un'

resulted as follows:

SAVANNAH WILL
SUPPORT HARRIS
POLITICS IN THE CITY BY THE
SEA BEGINNING TO E9iL-FIGUR
ING ON SUCCESS0i. 70 MAYOR
PIERPONT.

| SAVANNAH, c. Jan. EVERY
|body is looking q. lots Of politics in
Savannah dp.iHg the coming twelve
months and notody seems destined
to disapr oilim MT in this connection.
There arc ready meetings under
way where candidates and conditions
are given very serious consideration.
Both factions are preparing for an
early start and the advent of spring
will cause a lot of political say to
rise
In Savannah, it is expected the
principal interest will center around
the battle to control municipal af-
fairs, The winter fight for the city
/ hall stronghold will be the culmina-
ton of a series of skirmishes that will
be handled with all the dexterity and
genius Of political generals who know
that early impressions count for
good deal
The summer primary Will be the
first of the minor battles-minor in
/ the sense only as to how they effect
Savannah The state house officers
will have to be nominated and there
will be lot Of interest in Savannah
in the race for the United States sem
ate The present administrator it
is believed, will largely support Hon.
w J. Harris in his race for this office.
This will be done unless the effort to
get Savannah candidate should de-
yelop sufficient strength to put a. local
man in the field. Some Of those who
have been at variance with the city
administration for some time are said
to lean toward Senator Hardwick
in recognition of past favors received
at his hands. Just how formidable
this movement is to become will de-
velop very early in the year, it is
believed
Wife Savannah is interested to
very marked degree in the coming
race for the senate and while it will
take a passive interest in the contest
for state house officers and the state
wide commissions, the city is going to
be more genuinely interested in the
municipal campaign than any other
feature This is already becoming
evident when different interests and
combinations are considering the
question of the best men to head a
ticket for mayor.
1t seems to be generally agreed
that Mayor Pierpont is not going to
stand for reelection next winter He
has given no encouragement to those
who have suggested that he consent
to make the race again backed by
majority OF his aldermanie cabinet.
If the mayor receives. the federal APP
Pointment for which his friends have
sugg csted him-that is, as a member
o. the national commission to direct
rivers and harbors Improvements
will resign as mayor Otherwise he
will very likely serve his term out
This will ke5p him in office until
early in 1919,
1t is said that the mayor has an ex>
cellent chance to get this fedarl APP
pointment, unless X-Congressman
Sparksman of Florida gets it. The
latter has friend who are very ac-
tive in his interest. He was for
number of years chairman OF the
rivers and hartors committee OF con-
gress and this is said to give him an
advantage that may be difficult in
coming This southern man on

good, new buildings. Pm in tent

They are having hard work to get
