only Democrat ever re-elected to
congress i n the state.
George Turner of Spokane, the only
other Democratic senator in the his

fusion of Populists and Democrats in
the legislature i n 1897. Mr. Dill was

Ohio Wesleyan University i n 1907.
He ha s been a school teacher and a
newspaperman. His profession is

Robertha Harris, would reach the city
on the noon Atlantfc Coast Line

colored people were at the station to
get a glimpse of the prisoner—a well
dressed negro, wearing a Charlie
Chaplin mustache.
The prisoner was taken from the
depot to the Glynn county jail, where,
another large crowd had gathered
and where ft seems, he will be for a
long time to come. Harris declaims
any knowledge of his wife's murder.
He said the last he saw of her was
when she got into an automobile
driven by a colored man and in which

his wife to go to the country and
cook for his family. He did not know
what kind of a car it was or nothing
else that would throw any light on
finding the murderer. Whether he
will secure the services of an attor

?s not known. He seems to be a ne

London, Nov. 10.— Telegraphic
communication between London and
Constantinople Is still interrupted

slow and by uncertaih routes.
Dispatches indicate that the allied
commissioners are still awaithag defi
nite reply from the Angora govern
ment in their demand that the Turks
red-re from their attitude. The situ
ation is still strained.
No one jn England seems to know
whether the situation in Constanti
nople is better or worse. The new r s
that has trickled through since the
TTurks had cut the cable nea Chanak
has been of a vangue nature and the'
air is full of disquieting rumors.
The Daily News has the report
that the Angora government has ask
ed the Soviet government of Mossow
whether the Russian Bolshevists will
adhere to the Russo-Turkfsh military
agreement in the event of war. This
report said Moscow had replied af
firmatively, but the correspondent
who filed the dispaftch understood
that such adherrence would not take
the form of lending roops to the
Turks. Some newspapers declare the i
troubled conditions in Constantino
ple are becomming worse, while oth
ers report improvement, but none
convey the impression of reliability _
One the whole, British forces of in
fonnatibn declare matters are getting
worse at Constantinople and French
sources report improvement. •. ,
It is understood that military plans
concerning the Near East were dis
cussed again in the British war of
fice yesterday. The cabinet will meet
tomorrow at ten o’clock to consid

NO NAMES REQUIRED IN

After Selection is Made by
White Voters, Winner Can
Then Secure Required Num
ber of Names Before Election.
The city executive committee met
at the city hall yesterday morning at
11 o’clock, named Tuesday, Novem
ber 21, as the date of the white pri
mary to nominate on member of the
city commission and transacted much
other business, among this being the
naming of managers, whi'ch are W.

Mrs. J. L. Beach and C. L. Walk
er was selected as clerk for the en
tire board. The poll s will open at
the city hall at 6:30 a. m., and close
at 5:30 p .m. and the polling place
will, of course, be at the city hall. All
candidates will be assessed the su/n
of S2O to defray expense of holding
the primary _
It developed at the meeting of the
committee that the fifty names re
quired by the charter does not apply
to the primary but to the general
election, therefore, any person can
qualify as a candidate in the primary
by registering with Secretary Ross
and paying the amount of the asses
ment by 6 p. m., November 18.
It will be seen that the public has
been under an erroneus impression
about each candidate entering the
primary w r ould be required to get the
names of fifty registered voters be
fore he could enroll as a candidate,
this requirement, however, does ap
ply to the successful candidate in the
prilnary. He must secure the fifty
names and file them with the clerk
of the commissioners and this fact
is provided in the commissioner
manager charter adopted by the city.
It may be that there will be several
candidates but up to the present only
two have announced, Mayor C. D.
Ogg, at present a member of the
board of' commissioners and B. J.
Ford.
