SAM OLIVE AND
JOHNHOLDERTO
BE RE-ELECTED
ATLANTA, April 23.—It la two
months until the lawmakers of Geor
gia come to Atlanta (or their annual
session, but already. dlscusslon Is go-i
Ing on concerning its organization and
the legislation that will feature the
session. Although many of the legis
lators, familiar figures In the halls of
the house and senate, will again rep
resent "the folks back home," there
will be new faces—a new legislature
in the sense that the organization will
be brand new.
Fortunately, presiding ofllcers of
both houes in the last legislature are
asking to be re-elected. John N.
Holder, former speaker of the house,
has no opposition for re-election, and
if he did, according to talg here, it
would be next to impossible to defeat
him. Mr. Holder has a peculiar and
pleasing hold upon legislators, just
as be has upon the folks hereabouts
and over the state. “Plain John Hol
der,” as he Is often spoken of. Is prob
ably one of the best Informed men in
Georgia on state questions and leg
islation. He has made it a study for
. many year and he knows It like a
book. "Ask John Holder; he knows,”
is a common remark among lawmak
ers. Common schools, good roads,
agricultural matters and things like
that which interest the common run
of people, are dear to the heart of
Mr. Holder, and this may account for
his great popularity as a man and a
lawmaker. Newspaper men like him,
like him Immensely, and although they
know he will be the next speaker if
he wants the place, they are already
for him, "tooth and nail.”
The election of Sam Olive, of Au
gusta, as president of the senate,
seems an assured fact. Lawmaker
close to him, who have been in At
lanta ,say that his plodges In the new
senate make It impossible to defeat
him, no matter who ma7 oppose btm.
D. F. McClatclioy, secretary of the
senate, and E. B. Moore, clerk of the
house, have no opposition.
The big question at the June session
of the legislature will be highways.
The state highway commission, nf
which Judge T. E. Patterson, of the
prlsod commission, Is chairman, has
gone into the subject thoroughly and
will have several bills tor the body
to consider. •

Cummings Laughs
at Soldiers’ League
DETROIT, April 21.—Homer S.
'ummlngs, chairman of the democratic
latlonal committee, who came to De
riot to meet the big men of the Mlch-
gan democracy, does not take very
erlously the movement In which
Jeut. Col. Theodore Roosevelt is the
loving spirit to organize the soldiers
f the country. '
“It Is to 'laugh,” was his role and
efficient comment upon this aglta-
As to democratic success In tho na-
inal election in 1920, Chairman Cum-
lings has no doubt. Here are hts
asons;
“The incoming congress Is republi-
in and It will have to abandon the
rogrnm of criticism and turn Its at-
ntlon to constructive measures. Cer.
tin steps would have already been
iken which would show that bar
ony Is not possible In the republican
ujorlty in the Incoming congress,
he elements are irreconcilable. The
regressive element will be so fretful
sder the standpat domination or the
Itra-consrvative group that we are
srtaln to have radical differences
id a general breakdown of tho leg-
latlve program. It takes a groat ar-
lltect td build a beautiful structure,
it any one can throw mud at It.
"The first thing that indicates demo
“The first thing that Indicates demo-
■atlc success is the absolutely certain
[capacity of the republican congress
i carry out a constructive program,
s time goes on that incapacity will
s strongly contrasted with the really
reat achievements which have been
rought to their fulfillment under the
adershlp of President Wilson.
"The democratic record for the last
x years constitutes a miracle of leg-
lative progress.”

Tho Great Lakes String Quartet,
which 'entertained President and- Mrs.
Wilson on.two voyages, across the At
lantic on the U. S. S. GOorge Washing
ton Is coming here on the third day of
the Redpatli Chautauqua. The quar
tet will be assisted by a pianist. The
quartet members will give a full con
cert in the afternoon and will ap
pear at night with Mme. Augusta
Lenskn, primadona contralto.
The Quartet was organized at Great
Lakes Naval Training Station, Great
Lakes, Ill., where all the members of
| the organization belonged to the samo
campany and regiment.' By special
permission of the Navy Department
j the quartet made a coast to coast
tour of the United States in behalf of
the Navy Relief Society, the entire
: proceeds going to the relief of families
1 and dependents of sailors and marines.
The organization appeared In the j
leading universities, educational and
musical centers of America and its
fame grew rapidly. The tour had
progressed well In the eastern cities
when by a special request of the Sec
retary of the Navy the quartet was
ordered to accompany President Wil
son on his first trip to France.
Many programs were given on board
the president’s ship, the U. 8. S.
George Washington, for the presldent-
al party by the members of the quar
tet and their art was highly recom
mended by the president. The quar
tet made six trans-Atlantic trips on
tho George Washington between
America and France.
Leaving Paris during the month
of February they arrived in Ajnerica
with the president on February 24
and were shortly thereafter mustered
out of service.
Alton Packard, widely known as a
master cartoonist, humorist, singer of
songs and withal a moralist, will ap
pear In a Joy Night supreme on the
concluding program of the Chautau
qua. ,
As a cartoonist, Mr. Packard sketch
es upon sheets of paper and canvass
es eight feet square, said to be tho
largest sketches ever attempted on
tho platform, so they can easily be
seen In detail from any port of the big
Chautauqua tent.
Packard's humor bos a rare quality
of being supremely human and may
be best described as genial. Tho
feeling that prevails in a Packard
audience is said to be so different
from that of any other that he Is cal
led tho cartoonist and humorist who Is
so different
■ Packard’s work is all original, even
his songs are all his own composi
tion, and some of them are very funny.
His songs "Yaller Dawg” "When You
Get What You Want You Don’t Wont
It” "Smile and Look the other Way”
"Get Up” and others always produce
roars of applause.
