WANT CONVENTION TO
NOMINATE THE TICKET
GOOD PLAN
IS SUGGESTED
— ♦ —
MOVEMENT IS ON FOOT TO SE
LECT THE MUNICIPAL CANDI
DATES AT A MONSTER MASS
MEETING.
<
IN THE INTEREST OF HARMONY
AND IT IS CLAIMED THAT THE
TAX PAYERS WILL HAVE A
SHOW.
A well defined is; on foot by certain
business men in the city who favor
the nomination of the net municipal
ticket by a monster covention of tax
payjrrs to be held in the auditorium.
It is proposed that this meeting shall
be open to all registered voters! and
it is claimed by those" who favor the
plan that it will serve to unite the peo
ple and will do away with a warm
political contest.
A well known Brunswick business
man was interviewed on the subject
yesterday and said:
"Referring to the approaching muni
cipal campaign it seems the outlook Is
that matters will narrow down to two
candidates and the citizens will have
no choice, but to vote for one or the
other or not vote at all.
Why not let us have a monster mass
meeting at the auditorium and let all
the registered voters of the city have
an opportunity to name a candidate.
Such a plan will give fair play to the
voters ami fair play to tae candi
date*.
If the Auditorium is used there can
he no packed meeting and a mass
meeting of the registered voters shuts
out no citizen entitled to a voice in our
government.
By this plan our people can all lie
brought together and factionalism un
kindied. A platform could he adopted
and the candidate* placed on it. pledg
ed to a definite policy instead of a
secret club making platforms and
Shaping policies t'n whole people
would have an oppoi.unity to voice
their sentiments and in advance put
tne candidates upon notice as to what
the people want. Such a mas* meet
ing could do no harm and might do
universal good.
Let each candidate be put in nom
ination before the convention and let
the best man win—have no nominat
ing committee to name candidates,
but let your committee be a piaform
committee to voice public sentiment
as to what kind of administration is
demanded for the next two years.
The people can always be trustted
to do the right thing if they only have
a chance to do It —usually the politi-
do not permit them the chance.
What we need and what most cities
need is more business and lea* poli
tics. What better way. what quieter
way, what safer way could the pol
itics; be disposed of than by ail the
people getting together one day and
fixing the politics for two years?

MEETING OF LAWYERS.
Paramount Subject Will Be Conges
lion 1n Supreme Court.
Perhaps the feature of the meeting
of the Georgia Bar Association at
Warm Springs on July! 3 will be the*
effort, to relieve the congestion that
has been complained of in the su
preme court of the state. There are
other important subjects, which do
not appear on the printed program
me, but it Is believed that the one
thing to lie accomplished above all
others is to put on foot some plan by
which the supreme court can lie re
lieved of much of the work it now has
to do. It is sjiid that the lawyers
will advocate limiting the jurisdiction
of the court to cases involving more
t.ian S3OOO, or else they will advocate
an appellate criminal court so as to
keep ail criminal business' out of the
present, supreme court. Some of the
lawyers are in favor of prohihting di
rect appeals from city courts, hut this
involves a question that is still being
debated.
Uniform divorce laws in all of the
states Will lie discussed and a paper
will he read on Che subject.
Uniform laws relative to negotiable
instruments will also lie advocated
and discussed thoroughly. , These lat
ter two subjects have been pretty
thoroughly analyzed by the American
Bar Association, and the state asso
ciations have been advised to take
them up and do something toward se
curing the passage of uniform laws.
The plan for mailing land titles so
clear that, hanks can lend money on
them without risk and without read
tape has also been proposed.
These subjects are not included in
the published programme, but taey|
will receive a lull share of the con
vention’s attention.

Manager Miller, of tthe Brunswick

terday from the Fernandina team

one.

COCHRAN IS HOT AFTER
THE JUDGESHIP PLUM
LOOKS LIKE OLNEY.
Eastern Democrats Seem to Favor His
Candidacy.
Boston, June 23.—Here in the old
rock-ribbed republican state of Mas
sachusetts the speech of Grover Cleve
land before the Tilden Club, New
York, is being generally discussed.
The general question is what does
it mean? Is it possible that he has
the buzzing of the presidential bee
again or is he one of those patriotic
men whrf relegates good resolutions
to keep hi s party, and by the way,
his friends Olney? There is no
doubt about Olney having great
strength with the democrats of the
north and east and when the time
comes it will be seen that he will
carry the <%moeratic convention.
The fact that Mr. Olney says: “I
am not a candidate” simply' means
that he is and his chances for the
nominattion are good.
If Olney and Roosevelt are the can
didates it is sale to say that tuc* for.
•nor will win—he is a sound man and
would get the votes! of many republi
an business men who are afraid to
trust the rough rider in the White
House again.
