Aug 27 Delegates to the state Democratic convention, called to assemble in Macon tomorrow morn ing at 10 o'clock. ate arriving on every train. Already the town is swarming with these important persons, not to mention hundreds of onlookers In this strenu ous-to-be Vienna. Tomorrow is to see in Macon one of the most interesting and thrilling con tentions ever held within the state, and "the boys” which specifically Includes the "mixers” and the "fixers ” are here to have a hand in it, openly or In the darkest and most remote recesses of the Lanier hotel, as the case may be or the necessities of the moment require. By 4:30 this afternoon •■vert delegate will hate arrived. This is approximately a definite statement, for evert delegate to this convention has his number, description previous political affiliations and reli gion carefully Indexed either in the card systems of". Tim" Price. "Bud" Bla - lock or J. J Brown, contesting candi dates for the eommissionership of ag riculture. Between these three, no delegate, however seemingly inconsequential, can escape. Broylea-Pottle Fight Headliner. To be sure, the headliner of the en tire show Is the Broyles-Pottle con test for the court of appeals nomina tion Pottle’s friends are claiming the nomination for their man. on the ground that he carried the popular vote by nearly 2.000 over his Atlanta adver sary' and that he won four more coun tics than Broyles, even if the unit vote is a tie They are citing and with considera te effect—the fact that Broyles made his fight on a pintform of "juslice first technicalities afterward." The Pottle men say that Broyles can win the nomination now only by in sisting upon the most technical course of procedure the convention might pur sue. They argue, too and liert in y vein to score again -that to nominate Pot tle now would I 'ave things as they were —two good men lu filing down two good jobs. They cite tin' fact that both position.- puy the sami salary 34.000 per annum anti they plead that the most equita ble way. the way with less after-effect of an undesirable m bitter persuasion, would be to give Pottle the nomina tion notwithstanding the tic. and say to both men. "Well done. Georgia ad mires two such good fighters, and ap proves of both." The Broyles men are bettei listeners than talkers today They are standing pat. and preserving an almost ominous calm. What they w ill do on the floor tomorrow' Is the pt < -convention prize mystery. Soil Commissioner Deadlock a Puzzle.

If it does report such a resolution, th' ia will lie some fireworks and some rough things will be .-aid on the floor of the convention. What Will the Alexander Men Do? Cooler heads are advising that the "mileage bill 'fto” issue be left out of tile convention and it likely will be.
