Mayor J. A. Horne was the first
candidate to toss his hat into the
city Democratic primary ring by an
nouncing his candidacy for re-elec
tion as Mayor of MiBedgeville.
Messrs L. H. Andrews, W. H. Ar-
nall and S. !>. Stembridge a
ciared that they will not reek re-
election and the way is left open for
three new aldermen to go into office
next January 1st. There have been
no candidates to appear on the poli
tical horizon to date, but tht will
no doubt be a sufficient number
when August 2nd arrives for the
voters of the city to select three
men to fill the vacated chairs in the
city council.
Mayor Horne has served as Mayor
le term and has brought about a
number of reforms. He arks re-elec
tion so that his program can be
•omplctcd. He can serve only two
terms under the law.
Opposition to the present Mayor
developed this week when Marion L.
Curry stated that he expected to
seek the office and would make an
announcement later. He has not
definitely decided to make the
but has the matter under advise
ment.
Who the candidates for alderman
will be nobody can say, but specu
lation has been going on among
some of the city politicians.
