THE BRUNSWICK NEWS. VOLUME 1, NUMBER 27. LEGISLATURE TO CONVENE TODUIf * MANY ..IMPORTANT MATTERS WILL COME UP BEFORE SOLONS DURING THE SESSION. RACE FOR IHE SPEAKERSHIP There are Three Candidates in the Field and Each is Sure of Being Elected to the Place. Atlanta, Ga„ October 21.—The Geor gia legislature will convene here to morrow, and the session promises to he a very interesting one in many ways. The race for the speakership of the house s on in full blast. It, brought neatly half the members to the city several days in advance of the meet ing of the general assembly tomor row. and little coteries are standing around here and there talking tilings over. Talk to any one of the candidates or his friends, and one would think there will be three speakers of this house. Not one of the three can be heat, it would seejn. Absolute confi dence is displayed on ah sides—that, is. to the outsider. The three candidates for the speak ership nave been in the city for a week or more. Hon. Newt Morris, of Cold). lias his headquarters in rooms lit and llfi, the old democratic headquarters, and . ose occupied by Governor-elect ,1. M. Terrell up to the time the cam paign for governor ended. Hon. Fondrn Mitchell, of Thomas, is receiving his friends and conduct ing councils of war in room 2U7. while Hon. Emerson George, of Morgan, has the suite numbered IOC, 108 and 110. What Their Friends Say. None of the candidates are inclined to taik extensively, about, the race, though eae.i gives an expression of confidence as to the result. "f have the race won on the first ballot,’’ Mr. Morris is qnoted as say ing,! The situation is in every respect satisfactory and myself and friends are eutrely confident of toe result. I have fifty-five votes certain, said Mr. George, and I believe f am the personal choice for speaker of a ma- jority of tile housf. My friends wiil stand to mo to the last, and I believe this will result in my election. Mr. Mitchell's friends were not in clined to talk. There is no question about the re sult. said one of the leading mem bers, of Mr. Mitchell's campaign com mittee. As things stand now, we have the race beaten on the first bal lot, and as tilings stand now tney will lie when the vote is taken. Friends- of both Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Morris were not inclined to deal in figures, but each is claiming about ninety-five votes, with a few others probable. It is quietly whispered around that the George contingent favots the south Gorgia candidate, and that in so far as is possible it would be thrown to Mr. Mitchell in case Mr. George found he nad no show. On the other hand, friends of Mr. Morris assert that the majority of the George men have promised to vote for the Morgan county man only on the first ballot, or as long as he has any change, and after that the greatest part of his strength will go to Morris. it appears, therefore, that the sit nation is much involved in doubt, and it will take a democratic caucus to decide the result. Other Races On. Hoo. John T.Boifeullet, of Bibb, ant lion. Mark A. Hardin, of Atlanta, have opened headquarters at the Kimhat and are keeping their friends in line in their race for the clerkship of the house. The friends of Mr. Boifeullet assert tnat he will get between 14 and 150 votes on the first ballot, whib Mr. Hardin’s supporters declare that he has 97 vo.es pledged and is going through' without a struggle. Hon. Charless S. Nortnen smile when asked about his race for the secretarysnip of tne senate,- a smile wflifch seems to say, Wait until Wed nesday, there can be orily one result. Hon. William Cliffton, of Mclntosh, is . pn the ground, and is keeping things lively in his direction. His friends say he will have enough votes in t he sen ate to put him through. His conibi natioiT with Goode Price has been broken, it is stated, and Mr. Price will go into Ms former position in the house in the event of Mr. Boifeullet's election. Mr. Cliffton, it is stated, has formed another combination, Hon. Mark Johnston, of Milledge viile, who was a candidate for state school commissoner, is the running mate of Hon. Mark Hardin lor the clerkship of the house, while li. P Me Clateney, of Maretta, is running with Mr. Boifeullet. R. L. Wilson, of Murray, is a can didate for doorkeeper of the senate, while Grantland Green, of Baldwin, is running with him. So far no opposi tion “>.is developed. There is no contest over the presi dency of the senate, Hon. Clark How ell, of the thirty-fifth, being the only candidate. SPANISH CONSUL ASSAULTED. But the Presidente of Cebu Was Ex onerated.
