TWELVE .STATES WILL ELECT
PRESIDENT.
Washington, D. C—The political bat-
tlegroond in the Presidential election
will be in twelve State*.
The storm renters will be in Ohio,
New York, Indiana and Illinois, waxing
hottest in Ohio.
Each {arty is reasonably certain to
carry In States, giving the Democrats
1*5 electoral votes and the Republicans
195. The Democrats must have 81 more
to win and the Republicans 71.
Illinois :# placed in the Republican
column by loth Democratic and (5. O. P.
riopentcm. but the Democrat* will carry
the big fight into this territory, if for no
other reason, to try to break the G. O. P.
ranks ami to keep the Illinois crowd out
of the common battleground.
The party that can carry the three
doubtful Stnte*—New York, Ohio and
Indiana—can win. There are 84 elec
tor* in those three States, three more
than the Democrats would need to win
and 13 more than the Republicans would
require, protide-1 both parties hold the
btatev here conceded to them.
California is considered doubtful be
muse Wilson carried it against Hughes
by 1«’«* than 5,000 votes.
Colorado has gone Democratic in : lve
of the last six Presidential elections, but
is now considered doubtful because a
Republican Senator and every Republi
can candidate for Cong res* won by heavy
majorities in 1918, despite Wilson’s re
quest that Democrat* lie returned.
Idaho is doubtful for the same ren-
* *i that Chtyforitia is—dissatisfaction
with Harding, who is too reactionary
to suit the progressive*.
Democrats and Republicans agree
that Indiana ami New Jersey are ex
ceedingly doubtful.
New Mexico war carried by Wilson,
but is considered doubtful fur the same
reason that other Western States are.
In New York both parties are going
to make the fight of their lives. The
Republicans nr*- riaimlng it by 100,000
votes. Cox hns been elected Governor of
Ohio thref times and lost the Htnte once.
Wilson carried it in 19!fi. When Cox
was rlected Governor in 1914 by a few
thousand majority Harding was elected
Senator by 103,0000 majority.
Wisconsin is normally Republican, but
is doubtful now because it isn’t known
what Robert lJrrollctte will do.
by Wilson by
8,000. Tbs Republic**# think they'll
carry K this time.
Bute* considered reasonably mfe for
the Democratic and Republican tickets,
respectively, are gire* below, together
with the electoral rote of each—
Democratic.

JUDGE HENRY H. REVILL
Candidate For Solicitor General Coweta Circuit
(Political Advertisement.)
TO THE WHITE VOTERS OF THE
STATE OF GEORGIA;
“I wish you to consider the follow
ing statement. It is absolutely true
and can be proved by any number of
men. It will not be denied by Gov
ernor Dorsey:
"I am an experienced gardner and
florist. I was appointed under Gov- j
ernor Smith to look after the flowers,
grass and trees at the capitol gorunds
and at the governor’s mansion. I
was reappointed in this work by Gov
ernor Brown, by Governor Slaton and
by Governor Harris, For a short time
during this period I left of my own
accord to do some private work-and
was then reappointed to do this work
for the State. I am a white man, fifty
years old.
"In July, 1919, I was notified that
my services were no longer needed, as
Governor Dorsey thought he could
have the work done by a man who
would not charge as much. I was
drawing at that time $100 a month.
As soon as I left ray position was
given to a negro from Fayette coun
ty, who is said to be a family servant
of the Dorsey family. His name is
Rufu3 Bennett. He is now filling the
position that I had, and is to be seen
by any one who watches work being
done on the capitol grounds.
"He is drawing $21.25 a week.
While this is a little lass than I drew,
there is really no saving to the state,
because I had no assistant and there
Is another negro emploved to assist
Rufus Bennett in doing nis work.
“My services were satisfactory to
Governor Smith, Governor Brown,
Governor Slaton and Governor Harris.
I have a letter from Governor Dor-
sey’B keeper of buildings and grounds
saying that my services were satisfac
tory to them. The notice discharging
me gave as the reason that the work
could be done by a lower price man.
I have already said that this did not
save any money to the state, because"
the negro who took my place had to
have an aaisstant employed to do his
work. But if it was necessary to get
a lower price man to save money for
the state, I am «ire some deserving
white man could nave been found to
take the position.
"This is simply a statement of the
exact facts in connectipn with this
matter.
"‘FRANK GRANT,
"21 Mathews Ave., Kirkwood. Ga."
This is a copy of the letter which
Gov. Dorsey’s custodian sent to Mr.
Grant. You will see that Gov. Dorsey
ssid Mr. Grant-was the most capable
man be could get. The state did not
aave any money when Mr. Grant was
discharged to make a place for a
negro who was a family servant of
tte Dorseys froni his old home in
Fayette County, because it was nec
essary to employ an assistant for him.

„ _ , „ Atlanta, Georgia.
Mr. Frank Grant, Florist,
Atlanta, Georgia.
Dear Mr. Grant:—
In a. letter from the Governor today
he informs me that he will dispense
with your services after July 1st, as
florist at the State Capitol. He fur
ther states that you are a capable
man, and that we could not get a
more capable man for the position,
but teat the amount paid for the
work to be done at the Capitol in
your line will not warrant the wages
we are paying.
If you can obtain work before the
tkrt would be com-
C tible with your desires we would
ve no hesitancy in relieving you.
Yours truly.
