With it's president in the political
light, the senate chamber is filled
with campaign material. Each pass
ing day brings rumors of possible
candidates, and to date, the situation
may be briefly summarized as fol-
lows:
Judge B. F. Walker, one of the
recognized leaders of the upper
house, is considered a candidate for
congress from the Tenth district. For
many years, he has been active in
his section of the state, and would
prove a strong candidate against
Congressman Carl Vinson.
Senator Pope is being groomed fol
congress in the Seventh district,
while Senator o. A. Nix, of Law
renceville, is said to lhave his eye
on the judgship of the new Piedmont
judicial circuit, the creation Of which
is being sought by advocates in both
houses.
Judge Jim Thomas senator
from the Third district with laugh
that has made him famous and one
of the most popular members of the
assembly-is being urged openly tC
run for the state court Of appeals.
Two other senators, Bond anC
Fleming, Of the Tenth, are being
mentioned as probable candidates
from their respective districts. Sen
ator Fleming has a record in his first
term IN the upper branch of having
passed every bill introduced, and ha.
been heartily supported in his dis.

taken on question of local interest.

Albany Rotarians Guests
Of Americas Club
Thursday

In contrast to the old days, when
Americas and Albany fought on ev-
cry available occasion, there was a
love feast between the two cities
Thursday when the members of the
Albany Rotary club were guests Of
the Americas club for five and a
half hours, from 2 to 1880 p. M, at
two feeds and ball game. Whether
the good spirits would have surylV-
ed the baseball game will never be
known, for rain broke up that con-
test, which was between the sans
two cities, at its very beginning,
leaving nothing to even threaten the
good relations.
The visiting Rotarians, headed by
their president, Gordon Reynolds,
hardwood manufacturer of Albany
and manager of the baseball team,
arrived by special car at 2 o'clock
and were met in a downpOur of ram
by Americas Rotarians in their cars.
They were escorted directly TO the
Tea Room where a splendid fried

good fellowship reigned until nearly
4 o'clock, when the meeting broke
up for the visit to the ball park. Re-
turning to the CITY, the whole COM
pany met again at the Tea Room for
supper at 6:15, where they remained
until train time.
The welcome to the visitors was
delivered by Col. G. R. Ellis, who
gracefully and good naturedly assur-
ed them of the good feeling existing
between the two rival cities and Of
the pleasure their presence meant.
President Reynolds responded for
Albany in a pleasing naaRep going
somewhat into the meaning OF Ro-
tary and what its spirit was doiilg
in bringing these two communities
and other communities together.
Prof. j. E. Mathis, in a brilliant
but not lengthy talk, poured some
hot shot of pleasantly into the VS.

POLITICAL POT

Kimball House

ATLANTA, July 22.-Once again
Georgia's political pot is simmering
or at least the fires under the pot
are reachig higher and making the
kettle boil as the general assembly
grinds away toward the end of its
session.
Herbert Clay's boom for the COVER
norship has sounded throughout the
state. And is still booming. Many
campaigns for prospective candidates
are started, but few are finished.
The cause may be found in the fact
that the voters, no matter how many
times they are fooled, generally take
their own good time in selecting a
candidate.
But the president of the senate's
race, which was started by his friends
at recent barbecue in Marietta, is

ACTION ON TROLLEY TRACKS
TAKEN AT SOUTH AMBOY

by Evening News Correspondent.
SOUTH AMBOY, June 16-At the
meeting of the common council
Tuesday night Councilman Stanton
raised the question what about the
Jersey Central Trolley tracks on
B~ordentown avenue" He called at
tention to the fact that the tracks
had been filled with cinders that
were being swept away by the heavy
traffic and the high winds of the
past few days. Mr.. Stanton was
of the opinion that the trolley fran
chise called upon them to lay the
same type of pavement as the city.
Mr.. McMichales answering Mr..
Stanton stated that he had looked
up the franchise and found it to
contain a provision calling for ma
cadam. Mr.. Stanton stated that
he was willing to wager that the
franchise granted did contain a pro-
vision for a more substantial pave
ment.
After some discussion the matter
was left in the hands of the engi-
neer and solicitor for investigation.
The condition is very bad. The
cinders are being carried away ev-
cry day and a deep rut is being left
in the road, which makes it very
dangerous for the %autoists.
