THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
SATt’RDAY. AUGUST IS, 13
SADDLING BELL HAS BEEN SOUNDED;
GUBERNATORIAL RACE WEDNESDAY
Contests on in State,
County and City
Primary Elections.
FIERCE CAMPAIGN
DRAWING TO CLOSE
Gubernatorial Battle Over
shadows All Else—Full
Entry List in Vari-
• * ous Contests.
Ballot* have been primed in readl-
, nca* for the state, county and city pri
maries on next Wednesday and the ex
ecutive committees are ready for elec
tion day. Some officers and judges of
election are yet to he named Monday
and Secretary C. N. Ailed, of the ex
ecutlve committees will send out no
tices to appointees.
While the fierce contest among the
gubernatorial candidates has overshad
owed the race for other offices the city
of Atlanta and the county of i'ulton
have other things to consider as well
a* the comparative demerits of the re
spectlve gubernatorial aspirants, i
mayor Is to be elected tn Atlanta and
though Chief Joyner has been accepted
generally as the leading candidate, It
Is said on the street that Thomas H.
(h odwln Is running well In the stretch
and will poll more rotes than has been
anticipated.
On the county ticket the rivalry for
the office of county treasurer has re
sulted In a hot campaign. Eight
Clients for the place are In the field.
Hubert I* Culberson, chairman of the
county commissioners. Is spoken of as
the leader up to this time, but Macon
C. Sharp. Peter F. Clarke and Mayor
Woodward are looked upon as strong
rivals. It was expected that the race
would narrow down to a field of three
or four, but everyone of the eight can
didates has paid his entrance fee and
expects to face the barrier on Wed-
■ nesday.
Three candidates for alderman from
the First ward, which Is In line of suc
cession to furnish one of the city fath
ers, have declared themselves. The
candidate from the Fifth ward Is with
out opposition. Several contests for
councilman are on in various wards,
while four candidates are running
without opopsltlon. The present In
cumbents In other city places are out
fur re-election without an opponent.
The state campaign Is singularly
free from contests except at the head
of the ticket, where five aspirants for
the gubernatorial chair are stumping
the state. V. T. Sanford is racing
against William A. Wright for comp
troller general and William B. Merritt
and Mark Johnston both want to be
•chool commissioner. The other state
wiices-are not In the light.
The ballot boxes for the state and
county primary and those for the city
race will be.kept separate, according
to law and different ballots will be
used. The voting places for the two
i timarle* will be located close togeth-
i r for the convenience of voters.
The polls In the city will open at 7
o'clock in the morning and close at 7
o'olock at night. In the country dls-
tilets they will open at « o'clock In
the morning and close at 3 o'clock In
tho afternoon.
Secretary Charles N. Allen has ad
dressed the following letter tn the man
agers of the election In the various
ward* and districts:
“Atlanta, Oa., Aug. II.—You have
h«rn chosen by agreement with the
Btlte Democratic executive committee

REGISTRA TION BEHIND
THA T OF TWO YEARS A GO
. Registration from fhe country districts of Fulton county falls behind
the registration of two years ago by over 100. The registration in.the city
wards has not been complied, but It is believed that It will also fall short
of the figures In 1104, and that the total registration for the rountjr will be
less than that of 1904.by between.GOO and 700 names.
County Tax Collector Andy Stewart completed thp compilation of the
country registration by districts Friday afternoon. He Is now busily at
work on the city registration, and will complete this within a short time.
The total registration for the county will hardly reach 11,000, according
to estimates at the collector's office.
The registration by districts as compared with that of 1904 is as fol
lows:
Adamsvllle district ..
Hattie Hill district ..
Blackball district. ..
Bryants district ....
Burkhead district ..
Collins district
Cooks district

MANY FAIL TO REGISTER
FOR GENERAL PRIMARY
On next Wednesday the voters of Georgia will, In a general primary,
select delegates to the coming state Democratic convention for the selec
tion of a candidate for governor. The campaign, opened 14 months ago
wlten the candidates took the stump to appeal to the voters for support
and has grown In Interest and bitterness since.
Reports of registration from the different parts of the state Indicate
that only about 80 per cent of the strength of the party will be expressed
at the polls, If the weather Is favorable.
The registration has fallen short from 6 per cent to 10 per cent, and
while feeling has been at white heat In some sections of the state, tape
dally In the larger cities. In many of the tyral districts much apathy seems
to be manifested from reports. There seems to be greater Interest In the
central and southwestern portions of the state than In the extreme south
ern and eastern portions. It seems that the central portion has been the
chief batleground and there the candidates centered their contest for su
premacy.

IMMEN8E AUDIENCE
GREETS CLARK HOWELL.
Special to The Georgian.
Valdosta, Oa., Aug. 18.—Clark Howell
was greeted her* today by a crowd of
several thousand persons, equaling the
audience which heard Hoke Smith on
Thursday. He waa Introduced by Col
onel W. S. West In an earnest speech
of fifteen minutes.
The major part of Mr. Howell's
speech was devoted to the disfran
chisement question, which he charac
terised as the most dangerous proposi
tion Georgia had ever been asked to
Indorse. The speech was a clean and
clear-cut argument, devoid of mud-
allnglng, and was well received, though
the speaker's voice was not strong and
the frequent cheering and Interruptions
by the crowd made It extremely diffi
cult for Mr. Howell to be heard.
Probably half of the audience failed
to catch his words, the address being
delivered In the openTtlr from a plat
form In front of the court house.
One of the largest barbecue dinners
ever served In this section was par
taken of at the close of the speech.
HOWELL AND SMITH
FIGHTING FOR BIBB.
Speclel to The Georgian.
Mauon, Oa., Aug. 18.—The Indications
here are that Bibb county will go either
to Hoke Sifilth or Clark Howell; no
man can wildly guess to which of these
candidates. The partisans of both are
actively at work, and have been for
several weeks. Russell, It Is declared
by friends of the other candidates, will
run third here. The town Is being del
uged with circulars opposing Smith,
but It Is believed they are too late to
cut any figure In the campaign. The
voters are figuring the situation out for
themselves.

Augusta, Ga., Aug. 18.—Hon. Hoke

campaign speech In Augusta last night

greeted a public speaker since Hon.

a candidate for president on the Pop
ulist ticket In 1904. The opera house
was practically filled with people, and
a large number came to the city from
other towns.
Mr. Smith was Introduced to the au
dlence by Hon. H. O. Roney.
\ Very prominent among the people In
the audience was a number of the

election for Judge W. M. Dunbar by a
very large majority. It Is said that
this organisation has glvsn Its support
to Mr. Smith. He had but little new to
Inject Into the campaign and his ad
dress waa the same as the one he has
been delivering tn the voters of the
state In many eectlons.
Several times Mr. Smith referred to
local politicians and to their standing
for or against him. Thla being the
home of Judge E. H. Calloway he had
to give out a alight rap for this dis
tinguished Georgian, but It wga not re
ceived with much enthuelasm.

railroad question, and denounced the

of Georgia, and the railroad domina
tion. He grew very eloquent at times,
and he was loudly cheered.

Special Cable—Copyright.
Beunos. Ayres, Aug. H.—Cablegrams
are pouring in from the capitals of the
civilised world asking for information
concerning the disaster at Valparaiso,
but thus far It has been impossible to
reply definitely, owing to the fact that
the wires across the Andes are pros,
trated. ’ The ballet Is expressed In
some quarters that the reports have
been exaggerated, but there Is noth
ing on which to found such an opinion.
Not a word Is coming through, nor ha.
there been any direct tidings since im
