THE RACE BEGUN.
From the Atlanta Constitution:
“Several months ago the'Constitut i(H
predicted that the lion.Fleming du
Bignon and Hon. James G. Blount,
of Macon, would be two of thoge
that would make tho race for Gov
ernor two years hence.
This statement, it appears, is be
ing borne out, for it is a generally
admitted fact now that both of these
gentlemen aro m the vane. Mr.
Blount does not deny it, and is open
ly at work laying his plans for the
campaign. While Mr. duBignon
does not say that he is in the race,
he does not deny it, and it is appar
ent that his friends in the Legisla
ture are hard at work for him. It
is said that many of the members of
tho General Assembly have already
gone to him with promises of hearty
support in his race against Mr.
Bknmt, and that the list of his sup-.
]>oi tors is being added to every day.
Indeed, unless indications count for
noibmg, Senator duBignon can
count on most of the members of the
present Legislature as being for him
should he make the race.
Congressman Blount, who is a
keen observer, has his eye on the
situation, and it is said he is
in some very effective work. If be
runs for Governor there will be a
vacancy m hia Congressional district
over which there will be a heated
contest. Senator Bob Whitfield, of
Baldwin, and Senator Charley Barts
lett of Bibb, and Hoa. Bob Berner,
of Monroe, will most certainly 7 be in
the race to succeed Mr. Blount,
should lie make tho light for
ernor, At least, so their friends gay,
and none ol the three deny it.
it appears that wc will have some
very interesting contests two years
htuce.’’—Yes and two years, henee
Hon. James Blount will come out
ahead m the Gubernatorial
At least we predict so.
