However, their scheme appears a
hopeless one. They have figured on
Murphy Candler, and quietly sounded
the state In his behalf, without getting
and satisfactory response. Then Rep
resentative Schley Howard's name was
put forth, and sUII the people did not
show any concern. Even Governor
Dorsey wa, calculated upon, but It
seems certain that he will not allow
himself to be used In any such way. It
Is said that they then urged i Con
gressman Frank Park, without result.
The truth Is that the W. J. Harris
loom has attnined such proportions
that there does not seem to be any
chance of stopping It, and the Atlanta
politicians are really desperate. They
had hoped to put ovor their own candi
date, so as to give Atlanta both sena-
! torahlps. It Is still possible that they
will Induce Mr. Candler to run, al
though everybody outsldo of Atlanta,
| acquainted with politics, knows thot
' he has no strength, and will only mud
dy the water, and thereby help Hard
wick.
There Is no doubt of the fact now
I that W. J. Harris Is going to run. He
I haa said so himself, and it ta even be
lieved that he has mado plans for re
! signing his place as chairman of the
I federal trade commission, whleh is one
jof the most Important offices ever
l : created by Congress.
Practically all of the Washington
correspondents are affiliated with pot
tlcal interests antagonistic to Mr. Har
ris, and they are not giving him justice
in their dispatches. As for Atlanta
newspapers ,The Journal is obviously
loaning to Murphy Candler or Schley
Howard, the Georgian (the Hearst pa
per) has already declared for Hard
wick. The Constitution may suppoit
Mr. Harris but nobody knows.
Both Macon papers will support Mr,
Harris, judging from their recent ut
terances. Tn addition tbo great ma
jority of the weekly papers are all for
Harris.
