Col W A Huff May Run For Mayor Of Macon
Macon Ga August 24 Special The city democratic executive committee will meet soon to set the date for a mass meeting to name a new executive committee for municipal election arrangements. There is a strong likelihood Mayor Bridges Smith will face opposition as a separate committee plans to announce a candidate on Thursday. Reliable reports say Colonel W A Huff, Macon's 2 year former mayor, is seriously considering entering the race and has offered to run in the September 15 primary. Huff currently serves on the water board and is said to have no opposition for that post. Mayor Smith is considered a tough opponent, and locals see Huff running as a strong challenge despite his age.
