WHY HE'S FOR II \RRIS.
The Wilf <>n Tribune wa recently j
asked why it sui'port ■ our dist.ingui-h
--ed fellow citizen, Hon. W. J. Harris,
for the senate. The reply is so com
plete and convincing that, we take
great pleasure in giving it. to our
readers. They do not need it, of
course, for Spalding l- giving train.'
and enthusiastic upport. but. they
will be interested in reading the fol-j
lowing reply from Editor Camp a to
why he is giving his whole-hearted
support to Mr. Harris:
For the simple reason that Bill Ha .
its is the ablest, broadest and brain-1
est man in the entire lot, and would ■
be in position to render his state more
effective service than any other can
didate who has offered for the sena
torship.
Because the president of the Uni
ted States has heartily commended
his services both as director of the
census and federal trade commission
er, and any reflection upon his ability
is a reflection upon the president of
the United States.
Because in his ambition to become
senator he has the best wishes of the
ablest, broadest, brainest and most
statesmanlike of all Americans,
Woodrow Wilson.
Because his qualities of ability,
breadth and statesmanship have long i
been appreciated by the nation's <-x-|
ecutive, who in the consideration of
great questions has found him one of'
the safest and sanest Georgians at
Washington to advise with.
Because he was the first, man of
sufficient nerve to enter the lists
against Hardwick, thereby bringing
down on his head all the venom and
spleen of the slackers and anti ad
ministration forces, who have lost no
opportunity to rake him fore and at'!.
Because he is opposed by a on
femptible .Atlanta bunch whom S
would suit as a candidate . houbl be
promise to serve their ends.
Because we know that some of the'
influences oppo-ed to H erg ace
irnieal to the best inte: ■ ' ~f ‘
people, the St.iite at d the ■ .■,'
whah is --tengeling with a i-ieat war.;

Howard refii: <-I t > print in order to I
■etth' the issue of vera-.ty and which
he called on the Telegraph to publish
have been secured from the white
house and publi died. The original
i Telegraph story front Washington
■has been substantiated in every de
tail by the presidential file. It is
.shown very conclusively in this cor
respondence that Mr. Howard in his
own letter to ('resident Wilson gave
tlie president a positive and definite
promise that he would not run for

DEMOt RA< Y \l TER HIE M \R
This is the test which President
Wilson, in an admirable letter to the
Democrats of New Jersey, says will
have to be applied to every political
measure after the close of the war:
Is it just? Is it for the bene
fit. of the average man without
inffuence or privilege? Does it
embody in real fact the highwt
conception of social justice and
of rgiht living, without respect
of person or class or particular
interest?”
Theo retic a 11 y. American democ r a c y
has embraced tins high ideal from
the first. Except in the case of slav
ery, no party or leader has held oth
erwise, and yet, under just such pro
fession 3 many wrongs have been com
mitted. The vision of President Wil
son is made the more real, however,
because he perceives, as others do,
that from hte mighty upheavals re
sulting from the present conflict be
tween the forces of progress 'and re
action great changes nm<‘ come.
These cha'’gi’ may not he o much .

“The organization of the United

“Until recently railroads have al

made a corresponding reduction of
ten cents per ton to other buyers.
“It. is useles s to put off buying

either an increase in dealers’ prices j
