In fact the campaign ha already opened In a way. The friend* of Alderman Jam** M Dixon have hew quietly at work In hi* behalf for some time, and leading; politician* of the administration faction are now openly championing hi* cau*. It I* claimed that two or three of the political club* allied with the administration fac tion will shortly be resiled together lo give formal Indorsement to air. Dixon's candidacy. While at present Mr. Dixon *eema to be the only candidate In the held, it I* not likely that he will be given the prtxe without a struggle. Mayor Myers, Alder man Tiedeman and Col Merritt W. Dixon ore all looked upon as very decided possi bilities In the mayoralty field. None of them I* saying much at present, and their friend* are not doing much talking, but nevertheless the movements of Alderman Dixon are not unobserved by them There are those who Inttmnte that Mayor Myers would not object to another term and that In case such a state of affair* should lie brought about that It would he nec iwary for him to step In and bagmonlxe the party that he would not refuae his lervlotw for such a purpose. The Mayor 1* strong wlih the solid m*n Of his party, and should he really make up hi* mlrd that another term I* nacea wary to round out his official existence h oould make It decidedly Interesting for any other candidate. Alderman Tiedeman 1* regarded a* a conaervailve who ha* merited the confi dence of hi* party and the eltlxens by the con*c|entlmi' manner In which he ha* discharg'd hi* duties and hi* fidelity to : the city * fnterst At the same time Al derman 'll..lnman I* not much of a ‘ mix er." and hi* hold upon the rank and hie of the patty I* regarded a* doubtful A* a compromise candidate he would doubt lesa r> cetve < on.tderahle support outside of the parly. Col.

Col Dixon ha* never shown any great regard for parly line*, and It Is claimed i that hi* opposition to lha ad- I ministration. I* aw strong a* ever, not * withstanding his position In the I set cam paign Anyhow. It can he put down that Col Dixon will he an Interesting factor In the campaign, and hi* movement* will be watched with Interest. Alderman Wells, who was thought at one time to have some views upon the irr.vorallty. has been away all aummer, tnd I* not expected home until late tn the fall.

He ha* not contlned himself to Ihe committee of which he I* chairman, bill ha* taken an active Interest In the work of the several other committee* of which he Is a mem ber." Attention I* also being called to Ihe fact that .Mr Mixon, though not then n member of Council, tntereeted himself very actively In Ihe matter of aecurlng the encampment of the troops of th" Sev enth Army Corp* at Savannah and proh wbly contributed a* much to the success of Ihl* movement a* any o-hir cltlxen.
