Mack Rhodes for the office of mayor, and Mrs. Lila Ripley Barnwell, J. W- Mclntyre mid S. H. Hudgins were named as candidates for the office of comuiis sioner, running against A. Y. Ar ledge, L. R. Geiger and J. F. Ryers, recently named in the democratic primary. The meeting was presided over by R. H. Staton, county chairman. W. C. Rector was called on to stale, the 'object of the meeting. He cau tioned his republican brethren .o be careful and move cautiously, be lieving that the ticket nominated would result in victory and that it was important to have very capable officers in charge. Sheriff V. E. Grant was quite lauditory in his speech nominating Mr. Staton for mayor. Mr. Staton made an earnest plea to have his name withdrawn but de spite the trend of thought in the pre vious caucus in which additional names were proposed, sentiment ap peared to favor Mr. Staton, who had served twice as mayor, and he went in with a whoop without any oppo sition. For commissioners Mr. Rector nomniated Mrs. Barnwell, Wiltshire Griffith and A. O. Jones. Mr. Griffith nominated J. W. Mc lntyre as a man of experience on the board and a vote maker and asked for release for himself. Jim Waldrop. who was acting as secre tary, chimed in to endorse the work accomplished by. Mr. Mclntyre dur ing his term of office. Mrs. Barnwell was appreciative of the honor but thought it a little early in the game to have a woman on the ticket. The ballot resulted as follows: Mclntyre 72, Mrs. Barnwell 58, Hud gins 55, Griffith 45 and Jones 44. The nominees made short accep tance speeches and enthusiasm ran high. Attention was called to the impor tance of registration. Mis. Barn well was asked by the chair to form an organization looking to the regis tration of women. She named Mrs. W. R. Kirk as chairman.
