'Chain' Tread ALL KINDS OP Amusements am Recreation Good Order Assured i Schley Howard’s Own Letters Show Howard Brought the President Into th6 Sena torial Race Found the President for Harris—Promised the President Not to Run—Broke His Promise and Approved a False Newspaper Report of His Self-Sought Interview With the President. About the middle of April Congress man Wm. Schley Howard sought an in terview with President Wilson to talk over the matter of bis entering the race for Senator from Georgia. In that interview, sought by Mr. Howard, the President stated that his choice of a candidate for that race was Hon. Wm. J. Harris, and he hoped that the loyal vote against Senator Hardwick would not be divided. Thereupon Mr. Howard voluntarily promised the President that be would not run, but would support Mr. Harris because he was the President’s choice. A few days later Mr. Howurd broke his promise to the President and be came a candidate. Nobody could ex press the President’s feelings at Mr. Howard’s conduct as the President did in bis pointed two line latter of April 12th, saying only: “Your letter just received disap points me very seriously Indeed and I very much regret it." President’s Choice For Harris A little while later the Washington correspondent of the Atlanta Constltu- ktion sent an article to his paper about that Interview, and, instead of stating therein that the President expressed his choice tor Hon. Wm. 1. Harris as the candidate for Senator in Georgia, . stated that the President said he would be neutral as between any two loyal candidates against Thos. W. Hard wick. Nobody but the President and Mr. Howard could have known what . took place in the conference between them, as no one else wus present. Mr.. Howard saw the article sent out by the newspaper correspondent, and made no attempt to correct the false version of the Interview. He approved It aa “the God’s truth.” The Presi dent also saw the newspaper article, and on April 20th be wrote Mr. Howard to tho effect- that he. Mr. Howard, knew the version of the Interview con veyed by the article was false, and In very emphatic terms the President asked Mr. Howard whether or not he Intended to correct the false impres- , slons left among the people of Geof- ' gin by the article appearing In the Constitution. In reply to the Presi dent Mr. Howard admitted that the President's letter “very greatly dis tressed him,” admitted that the news paper article conveyed a false account of .the President’s attitude and admit ted that he and his friends knew that the President "thought Mr- Harris should make-dhe race against the jun ior senator from Georgia In preference to any one else.” These Tell The Story The statements of Mr. Howard and the President speak for themselves: "Committee on Appropriations, “House of Representatives, "Washington, D. C„ "April, 1918. "My Dear Mr. President: “You may recall that I stated to you that It you wished It, I would not become a candidate for the sen ate, hut would do all I could to help elect the candidate whom you select ed to carry our cause to the people of Georgia. This ia written with the hope that you will permit me to with draw this promise to you. "With great respect, I am, “Faithfully your friend, "WM. SCHLEY HOWARD." 3IG FARM MEETING HELD IN ATLANTA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE WILL ASK STATE FOR APPRO PRIATION OF $$35,000. Atlanta, Ga., July.—Upon the basis of resolutions unanimously ed by the biggest farmers meeting ever held in Georgia just a few weeks ago, the State Department of Agri culture will ask the legislature at its present session for an aggregate ap propriation of $35,000 to meet the necessary expenses of the Georgia State Bureau of Markets for the coming year. Having seen, during its activities, what can bo accomplished in the marketing of food crops, farmers in all Georgia are directly interested in the extension of thes ervice of this toman, of course, had no direct knowl edge of that conversation and his ver. sion of it conveys a very false im. prettlon, no doubt unintentionally on his part, but the Impression it con-(branch of the Department so that it veya is so false that I write to ask whether or not it Is your intention yourself to correct that Impression. "Very truly yours, “WOODROW WILSON. “To Hon. William Schley Howard, “House of Representatives." A Change In The Tone (Note the change from “My Dear Mr. Howard" to “My Dear Sir," and from “Sincerely yours" to “Very truly yours.’’) ‘Committee on Appropriations. “House of Representatives, “Washington, D. C., "April 23, 1918. “My Dear Mr. President: Your note of the 20th Instant, hand- ed me last evening nt my home where am now conllncd by illness, very greatly distresses me. “After you were gracious enough to receive me for an interview in the Executive Office, I confided exactly what I understood your position to be to three of my intimate political and personal friends for the sole purpose of counseling with them as to whether or not I should further pursue my candidacy for the United States sen ate. “I have never expressed, directly or indirectly, anything to my friends but that you thought Mr. Harris should make the race against the junior sena tor from Georgia in the approaching Primary In preference to any one else. ‘I recognize, however, that Mr. Hol loman's article may convey a differ ent impression as to your attitude in reference to Mr. Harris' candidacy. am, dear Mr. President, with great respect, 'Faithfully yours. "WM. SCHLEY HOWARD. “To the President, "The White House." will be in a position to take good care Of every marketing problem presented to it. Many times the amount of money tfsked from the legislature for this service to Georgia farmers has been saved them thep ast year by the (work of them arketing bureau. If its possibilities are increased through an adequate appropriation, unquestion ably a far greater and more valuable service can be rendered. The Department is asking the leg islature to appropriate this money from funds which arec ollected by its as inspection fees on oils and ferti lizers. Within the past twelve months through these collections -Commissioner J. J. Brown has turned 'into the state treasury $51,000 more than was paid in they ear before; so that th eincrcase alone in the state’s income through the department will more than take care of the appropria tion asked for. It is hoped the legis lature will be sufficiently liberal with the Market Bureau to enable it to give Georgia farmers everywhere tile good service they will need tho com ing year. Professional Cards.

Mr. Hoi- Promised Not To Run It Is clear from these letters that Congressman Howard sought out our honored President, brought him into the Georgia senatorial situation, found the President strongly favored Hon. Wm. J. Harris, voluntarily gave his solemn promise that he would not be a candidate, and broke that promise as soon as it was given. It Is also clear that he deliberately let a false account of his interview with the Pres ident, published in a prominent Geor gia paper, go uncorrected until a cor rection was demanded of him by the President himself; in the face of the fact that the newspaper's false infor mation must have come from Mr.’How- ard himself. It is also clear that the President did not thrust himself Into the Georgia senatorial situation, is also clear that when the President was brought in by Mr. Howard there was no doubt as to where the President stood. Read these letters which passed be tween Mr. Howard and President Wil son, and then aak yourself the ques tion: "Can I vote for such a man for Senator?’’ If Congressman Howard broke his promise voluntarily given to the President and tried to deceive tho people of Georgia as to what trans pired in his self-sought Interview with the President, will not the people fear be would deceive them again? At least the people of Georgia want a man as their senator whom the Presi dent can trust. At least they want a senator whose word and pledge, once given, are hever broken. 5fr. Howard had a perfect right to run for senator without consulting the President. But ha did consult ths President. He found the President for Hon. Wm. J. Harris, beeauso the President hod long tried Mr. Harris and never round him wanting. Mr. Howard still has a right to run for senator. But he can’t claim to he running on the friendship or tho con fidence or the respect of our Com mander-In-Chief.
