MIS Blue Ridge Jurist Challenges Candidate to Have Dor sey's View-s Published Judge Newt A. Morris, of the Blue Ridge circuit, has written a letter to William J. Harris replying to certain references to hiniself contained in the speech delivered by Mr. Harris at Crawfordville on Wednesday. Judge Morris has sent a copy of his letter to The Journal and i equested this newspaper to publish the same, in view of the fact that The Journal carried a report of the speech of Mr. Harris in which Judge Morris was men tioned. Judge Morris' Letter The letter is as follows: •'Marietta, Ga.. June 8. 1918. “Hon. W. J. Harris. Kimball House. At lanta. Ga. •'Dear Sir: I notice from the daily press that in your Crawfordville speech this week you had quite a lot to say in criticism of me, and, as I have seen no repudiation by you of the press ar ticles. I presume you were correctly quoted. •'You state "that Judge Morris called upon Governor Dorsey to enter the race, and I presume that Governor Dorsey told him as he has told hundreds of others that he would not oppose me." "To the charge that I called upon Governor ’Dorsey and solicited him to run for the senate, I plead guilty, and, if he should enter the senatorial race, if there is any other job to which you can get appointed in Washington you had better get you a •'flivver” and make a bee-line therefor and not stop on the road long enough for Howard’s wood peckers to locate you. A Challenge. “Only a short time ago you were very energetically endeavoring to yet before the public the conversation and corre spondence between the president and Congressman Howard in regard to How ard's entering the race for the senate. Now, if you will display a little of the same sort of energy and join me in get ting Governor Dorsey to give to the public just what he said to me in that interview to which you refer concerning your candidacy for the senate, I will contribute SSO to any Red Cross chap ter in Georgia that you will designate. “As to my going to Washington: I have never gone there to confer with any one on matters political, but dur in gthe time referred to' by you you have done practically nothing but run backwards and forwards to Georgia in the interests of your own candidacy: I do not know of a convention which has been held in Georgia during the past year that you have not "butted in” on, when at the same time you were draw ing SIO,OOO salary from the government and supposed to be looking after im portant business for it. “You also charge that I got con trol of a newspaper recently. I simply bought stock in a paper which you then held and now hold stock, but this paper is not supporting you in your race for the reason that it is acquainted with you and knows that there are at least one hundred thousand men in Georgia more capable and better qualified to represent this great state in the United States senate than you. * •'You further state that I announced I expected to run against Congressman Gordon Lee, who has loyally support ed the president in peace as well as in war. On the 28th day of April. 1917, when the military bill was under con sideration, which provided that an army should be raised by volunteers, Con gressman Kahn at the instance and re quest of President Wilson offered an amendment striking out “volunteers” and providing that an army be raised by the selective draft system: on the call of the yeas and nays, as appears on page 1434 of the Congressional Rec ord, Hon. Gorden Lee voted against this amendment. This was the most Im portant measure before congress since the beginning of the war and one that the president urged most earnestly to have passed; Congressman Lee showed his ’loyalty’ by voting against It. "Mr. Lee at other times showed h’.s 'loyalty’ to the president by voting against the woman suffrage bill, which the president urged earnestly to have passed, and which was passed by the house; he also voted against the bill to prohibit the sale of whisky in Wash ington, which also passed in spite of his vote. This is only a part of what the record shows as Mr. Lee's ’loyalty.’ “You are doing Mr. Lee a very grave injustice by trying to load him down with the dead weight of your race. Mr. Lee will have all his shoulders can carry to take care of himself and his record when the farmers, are through laying by and the congressional race in the old seventh warms up. "You complain against the Fannin county grand jury because they stated that the masses of the people would not support you: you say that you have never ben in Fannin county and are not acquainted with them; there’s- m use of your going there. Billy; they seem to be acquainted with you. These sturdy men from the Blue Ridge moun , tains arc answering every call of the president for soldiers. Red Cross con tributions and in the purchase of Thrift Stamps and Liberty Bonds, but they seemed to have reserved to them selves the right to select some one to represent them In the senate. “I quote from your Crawfordville speech again as follows: ’They (men that formerly supported Hardwick) wish my defeat so they can humiliate Presi dent Wilson: they would like to say to the rest of the country, Georgia has re pudiated the administration.* When did you get to be the ’administration?* What right have you to so designate yourself? ’Humiliate the president!’ Ye gods and little Ashes! Your defeat i would no more humiliate him than a I mosquito could humiliate a bull ele phant In the jungles of Africa. “Your whining and crying and snif fing methods would Indicate that you are better qualified for the office of edr ' oner than of senator. If you would | quit trying to swing on to the coat tails I of other people and run on your own ' merit, if you have any, the people of I this state would have more respect for your candidacy. "Respectfully, “N. A. MORRIS.” "P. S.: Your continued and often re peated expression of ‘me and the presi dent’ is just about as appropriate as the kaiser's of ‘me and God;’ It is disgust ing to all sensible people; cut It out.” For Expectant Mothers The well-known, tried and relia ble penetrating preparation, "Moth er’s Friend,” Is prepared especially for mothers.

JUNE 11, 1918. JOINT DEBATE AT GAINESVILLE NOW SEEMS PROBABLE 1 Dean Wires The Journal He Is Willing to Accept Howard's Proposal to Meet Hirn in Former's Home Town Congressman William Schley Howard, candidate for the United States senate, and H. H. Dean, of Gainesville, also a candidate for the United States senate, will very probably engage in joint de bate on the issues of the campaign at an early date. This seemed assured Saturday, when Congressman Howard wrote to Mr. Dean, accepting his challenge for a joint de bate and suggesting that the debate be held in Gainesville, Mr. Dean’s own home town, and when Mr. Dean replie 1 to Mr. Howard, through telegrams to the press, agreeing to the Gainesville meeting and suggesting a second de bate in Atlanta. Mr. Howard's letter of acceptance to Mr. Dean's challenge for a debate states that if Mr. Dean is not satis fied with a debate in his own town, he, Mr. Howard, will divide time with him in some county of his own district. Dean’* Telegram Following the publication of Mr. How ard’s letter to Mr. Dean Saturday, The Journal received the following telegram from Mr. Dean, which, it is presumed. Is a copy of a telegram sent to Mr. How ard: "Many thanks for your acceptance of joint discussion. Have appointed D. T. Quillian, R. D. iMtchell, C. D Davie to arrange Gainesville meeting. I assure you every courtesy due a can didate for the senate. Select Atlanta for second meeting. Selecting Hiram Gardner, J. W. Austin and John W. Hammond as my committee. Name your committee that early dates ma v be ararnged. Hope you will continue joint discussion after Senator Hardwlel; comes.” Mr. Howard’s Letter Mr. Howard’s letter to Mr. Dean which resulted in the above-published telegram, was as follows: Kirkwood, Ga.. June 7, 1918. H. H. Dean, Gainesville, Ga. Dear Sir: Your telegram was handed me upon my return from Sa vanna on yesterday. My entrance into this race was for the purpose of defeating Senator Thomas W. Hardwick and by such defeat to vindicate the reputation of the people of my beloved state for patriotism unexcelled by the people of any state or country under the sun. My candidacy was invited by thousands of loyal citizens of this state who desired to see this pur pose fully executed in the approach ing election. My first impulse was to decline an invitation to debate from a man who had deliberately distorted a public record to injure another. The methods you have pursued since your entry into the campaign have convinced the public, I think, at any rate they have convinced me, that you are not a serious contender for any office within the gift of the peo ple of this state. However, it has been my distinct purpose to address the good and loyal people of Gainesville and Hall county and to present my cause to them, and I see no reason why, if you are so terribly intent upon meeting me in joint debate, I should not divide time with you there, as that is your home town and county and you will be among your neigh bors who know you best. If’this does not entirely satisfy your appetite for joint debate, and if you so desire, I will divide time with you in some county in my own district, where I am best known. As it is my intention to speak in every county in Georgia and as pub lic business requires my presence in Washington on Monday, where 1 am to appear before the committee on education In behalf of the Smith- Howard bill (which when passed will be of Inestimable value to all educational institutions in the south), I would like for you or a committee of your friends to ar range at once for this division of time in Gainesville and at some place in my own district if you so . desire. This should be done at once, as I have engagements for Friday and Saturday of next week and seventy five invitations from all over Geor gia to make addresses, and the dates must be fixed immediately. Your reply to my acceptance may be mailed to me at my headquarters. 102 Kimball house. Atlanta, Ga. Respectfully. WM. SCHLEY HOWARD. Kirkwood. Ga.. June 7. Howard Dlighted Over Dean’s Decision on Debate "I am delighted," said Congressman William Schley Howard Saturday night, when, returning home from Lawrence ville, Ga., where he made a campaign speech, he was informed that H. •H. Dean had agreed to meet him In joint debate at Gainesville and again at some point in the Fifth congressional dis trict. He announced that his committees to arrange the details of the two debates J would be named without delay and stated that the names of the committee i men would be given out Monday. It is I understood that the personnel of both ' has been tentatively determined, but i final announcement was withheld on Saturday night. Mr. Dean Saturday appointed a com mlttee, composed of Hiram Gardner, J. W. Austin and John W. Hammond, to represent him in making arrangements for the second debate, which he sug gested be held in Atlanta. Mr. Hammond last night declined to serve. He announced that he had noti fied Mr. Dean that his position as At lanta representative of the Macon Tele graph and other Georgia dailies re quired him to observe strict neutrality as between candidates. He said he could not act In this capacity for any candidate, and added that Mr. Dean had appointed him without his knowl edge or consent.

Hands .With Voters BY BRADFORD BYRD, (Journal Staff Correspondent) THOMSON, Ga., June B.—William J. Harris, candidate for the United States senate to succeed Thomas W. Hardwick, brought his Georgia road drive to a <•lo.se when he addressed the McDuffie county citizens from an auto on the lawn of the Knox hotel here this after noon. In his speech here this afternoon Mr. Harris had an audience of 236 people, the* largest of the week. Starting at Madison, in Morgan coun ty. Monday morning, Mr. Harris brought his campaign down the Georgia road, visiting eight counties, delivering six speeches, stopping in forty towns and villages and shaking hands with many farmers in the fields who could not leave their crops and meet him in town. In Morgan county Mr. Harris spoke at Madison and then visited Swords, Bost wick, Rutledge, Buckhead and Apa lachee. In Greene he delivered his speech at Greensboro and followed it by visits to White Plains, Siloam. Union Point, Woodville, Penfield and Gresham ville. In Taliaferro, after his speech at Crawfordville, he visited the communi ties of Sharon, Barnett, Hillman and Mildred. In Wilkes, he spoke at Wash ington, then made a tour of that county and Lincoln county in the afternoon, stopping at a dozen or more communi ties. Speaks at Warrenton In Warren county he spoke at War renton and motored to Norwood, Camak, Mesena, Wallace and several other places, then made a side trip into Glas cock county, stopping at Mitchell and Gibsfon, and here in McDuffie Mr. Har ris motored over the county this morn ing prior to his speech. Little attention was paid any candi date except Senator Hardwick in his speech here today. Mr. Harris defied his hearers to show him a single in stance where Senator Hardwick had voted with President Wilson since war was declared. "The voters are going to deal with Mr. Hardwick properly on September 11,” said Mr. Harris, “and if you vote for him then you’ll have the brave vet erans of this war to reckon with the balance of your days. When this war is over and our gallant southern boys return from battle crowned with the laurels of victory, these noble veterans will dominate the politics of this sec tion and woe be unto the man who has played them false while they were fighting our battles in France. Men who oppose the war or war measures now will be branded for all time, just as they were when our noble Confed erate veterans gained the reins of gov ernment following the days of recon struction. You can not vote for Hard wick in this election without betray ing your own boys who are now in France. Every vote cast for Hardwick is a vote against our president and ai vote for the kaiser. Voted for Kaiser “Nearly every vote that Hardwick has cast sijice he voted to declare war has been cast as the kaiser would have it. Are you going to join him or are you going to vote for your boys who are battling that this world may be made safe for democracy, a world fit to live In. bringing you good cheer from the loyal people of Georgia. "After investigating they find that the other candidates are running only In spots and these spots are diminishing daily. There is no longer doubt as to who will beat Hardwick. They are already uniting on me. Why, the paper In Hardwick’s own home town has thrown him overboard. Just this week the Sandersville paper which has always backed Hardwick to the limit, came out and urged Hardwick to leave the racs. Everybody except Hardwick’s personal friends and a few disappointed office seekers are for me. Os course, the At lanta ring is not for me. I don’t want their support. 1 notice that ex-Con gressman Edwards is opposing me and is this week giving out cards to tho papers favoring Howard. Well, Mr. Ed wards is a disappointed office seeker He wanted a big federal job and is so.e on me because he didn’t land one.” Mr. and Mrs. E. Darden Borders mo tored over to Warrenton late Friday afternoon to meet Mr. Harris and he accompanied them to Thomson. U. S. Transport Had Close Race Up Coast With Two Submarines — AN ATLANTIC PORT, June B.—Tht, I story of a transport's race up the At i laajtic coast, closely hugging the coast. | with darkened lights at night and under i a full pressure of steam, in order to i elude German U-boats which gave chase, j was told here last night by men on i shore leave. Members of the crew and troops de -1 clare that they were warned in ample J time by wireless of the nearness of the sea wolves, and were advised to keep in close to the coast and make all possible speed to this port. They asked • In return that the ship be met at once by American destroyers. Two of the U-boats were sighted, but at such a distance that they were not identified by' number, and the race be gan. It lasted for twelve hours, and although handicapped by running a zig zag course, the transport maintained her lead, out of reach of a torpedo, until three American destroyers were sight ed. The U-boats submerged before the destroyers appeared, news of their ap proach evidently having been picked up by wire*!ess. “Back,’You Huns, to Your Own Country,” Declares Mr. Gompers i ST.

My Dear Mr. Long: My attention I has been directed to several state ments in the Telegraph alleging di rectly or inferentlally that the i story wired by me from Washington several weeks ago to the effect that 1 the president would take no hand between loyal Democrats as against Senator Hardwick had been sub mitted to Mr. Howard and had his approval prior to its dispatch. I stated in that dispatch, and have stated subsequently, that the infor mation was not secured from Mr. Howard. You and I are both news paper men and we know that the ethics of our profession demand not only a statement of facts in news stories to the best of our ability to gather them, but absolute fair ness to the individuals who are concerned therein. Truth is always fair. In the in terest or truth, therefore, I want to emphatically state again to you that Mr. Howard did not see tne i dispatch referred to prior to its publication, nor did ho inspire it or have any connection with it in any way whatsoever. X mean this, too, in the letter as well as in the spirit. I secured the information in the interview from sources which I be lieved reliable, and still believe so. I did not discuss the matter with Mr. Howard, therefore, until after the article appeared in publication. I have no Inteerst in the candi dacy of Mr. Howard or Mr. Any body Else in this contest except the defeat of Senator Hardwick by some loyal Georgian. The candi dates are all my personal friends sc far as I know. I know that you will agree with me that we should clear up ques tions like this as to veracity, and this is my reason for writing you. I am taking the liberty of send ing a copy of this letter to all the candidates for the senate. Very truly yours, (Signed) JAMES A. HOLLOMAN.

Charges Against, Howard and Harris (Special Dispatch to The Journal). LA GRANGE, Ga., June B.—H. H. Dean, of Gainesville, candidate for the United States senate to succeed Thomas W. Hardwick, spoke to approximately 175 Troup county citizens here today He cant'; from West Point, where he spoke last night, and was met by a delegation of his friends. The n.eeting was held in the court house. The speaker was introduced by W. A. Reeves. He was given a cor dial reception’. As in previous addresses during the campaign, Mr. Dean attacked Senator Hardwick, Congressman William Schley Howard and W. J. Harris, candidates for the senate. Mr. Dean discussed in detail the im portant planks in his platform—immi gration, ownership of railroads and the records of his opponents. Foreign immigration was vigorously opposed by the speaker. He declared himself in favor of closing the doors of America to foreign immigration dur ing the war and for three generations afterwards. Prohibition of the ad mission ot Germans, Austrians or Turks for many years after the war and de nial of citizenship to these foreigneis was favored. With regard to the future ownership of the railroads, Mr. Dean said the government was confronted with two problems: First, ownership by corpora tions under the supervision of the in terstate commerce commission, and. second, direct ownership and control by the government. There may be an element of danger in either of the prop ositions, he said, but he preferred com plete government ownership because tha danger of Wall street interests playing the part of parent would be eliminated. Mr. Dean discussed his own qualifica tions for the United States senate, stating that he was better equipped than either of the other candidates to repre sent the people of Georgia in the up per house of congress. The public rec ords of the other candidates make them unfit for the senate, he said. Senator Hardwick was attacked, for being opposed to the principles of de mocracy and for his stand against the na tional administration. Mr. Harris did not act with good faith toward the peo ple of Georgia when he urged them to delay buying coal, causing many to fall to place their orders until it was almost impossible to secure fuel even at ad vanced rates, he said. He deceived the people Into believing he was protecting their interests and then helped the coal interests to get higher prices. Mr. Dean quoted from correspondence between Lem B. Jackson, state market bureau director, and W. J. Harris, last fall, in which Mr. Harris, as a member of ttje federal trade commission, advised the people of Georgia to buy only what coal they actually needed, and promising that the prices would go down. The charge that Mr. Howard had pur chased liquor for campaign purposes and failed to pay for It, was repeated. He said the purchase on which Mr. Howard was sued was made in a memo randum in his own handwriting.

Children simply will not take the time from play to empty their bowels, and they become tightly packed, liver gets sluggish and stomach disordered. When cross, feverish, restless, see if tongue is coated, then give this delicious "fruit laxative.” Children love it, and it can not cause injury. No difference what ails your little one—if full of cold, or a sore throat, diarrhoea, stomach ache, bad breath, remember, a gentle, "inside cleansing” should always be the first treatment given. Full directions for babies, children of all ages ana grown-ups are printed on each bottle. Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask your druggist for a bottle of "Califor nia Syrup of Figs,” then look carefully and see that it is made by the “Califor nia Fig Syrup Company.” We make no smaller size.
