Schley Howard’s Own Letters Show Howard Brought the President Into the 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 his entering the race for Senator from Georgia. In that interview, sought bv 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 he would not run, but would support Mr. Harris because he was the President’s choice. A few' days later Mr. Howard 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 his pointed tw r o line letter 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 Constitu tion sent an article to his paper about that interview, and, instead of stating therein that’ the President expressed his choice for Hon. Wm. J. Harris as the candidate for Senator in Georgia, staled 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 was 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 as “the God’s truth.” The Presi dent also saw the newspaper article, and on April 20th he wrote Mr. How ard to the 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. Ifow r ard whether or not he Intended to correct the false impres sions left among the people of Geor gia 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 >f the President’s attitude and admit . ted that he and his friends knew that the President “thought Mr. Harris should make the race against the jun ior senator from Georgia in preference to any one else.” These Tell The Story The statements of Mr. Howard and President speak for themselves: * “Committee on Appropriations, “House of Representatives, “Washington, D.

SCHLEY HOWARD. “To the President, ! “The White House.” 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; jn 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. it is also clear that when the President was brought in by Mr. Howard there was no doubt as to where the Presidem stood Read these letters which passed be tween Mr. Howard and President Wil son, and then ask yourself the ques tion: “Can I vote for such a man for Senator?” If Congressman Howar broke his promise voluntarily given t the President and tried to deceive t>, people of Georgia as to what tram pired in his self-sought interview with the President, will not the people fear he w ould deceive them again? AI 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, on given, are never broken. Mr. Howard had a perfect right tc run for senator without consulting the President. But he did consult the President. He found the Presiden. for Hon. Wm. J. Harris, because the President had long tried Mr. Harris and never found him wanting. Mr. Howard still has a right, to run for senator. But he cant claim to he running on the friendship or the con fidence or the respect of our Com mander-in-Chief. (ADVERTISEMENT.) objectionable and is most delightful in effect.

The Bureau of Conservation of the United States Fuel Administration has estimated that it will be neces sary to save fifteen million tons of coal, in private residences, apartment houses, churches, schools and com mercial buildings other than factor ies. The Fuel Administration is now is suing directions whereby State and county fuel administrators are given a program of action to check up every order for domestic coal and curtail coders for excessive tonnage. No ord er will be completely filled until ap proved by the local coal authorities. This plan has been in operation in Philadelphia i'or the last six months, under the direction of Francis A. Lew is and T. C. Mahady. Mr. Mahady, from the Washington headquarters, will make the work national. The inspection system exposes the consumer who has deliberately mis stated facts on his coal order. The United States Fuel Adlnistra tor urges an immediate cleanup of furnaces and stoves. Technical men 'say that one one hundredth incli of soot has the same icsisting power to heat that ten inch es of iron have. Soot-coverings on the interior of stoves and furnaces mean therefore, waste of fuel and waste of money. Every coal purchaser will find it to l’is interest to clean stoves and fur naces. At the same time his work will be a patriotic service; he will be saving fuel for war industries and war transportation. The fuel Administration urges also And your friends, once you become an owner of a New Case Six, will admire your judgment. We are now showing the New Case Six to those interested in the latest ideas. So come in, v hether or not you intend to buy. W. H. FIELD Cartersville, Ga.

If the landlord refuses to meak such repairs the householder should report the matter promptly to his county or state fuel administrator.

Don’t wait until the last minute when the fires must be started. Now is the time for fuel forehandedness. Furnaces and stoves should be clean ed and repaired and automatic damp ers installed at once.
