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.
M fLLEDGEVILLE, GEORGIA.
CONGRESS SETS A NEW
APPROPRIATION MARK
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 by 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 two line letter of April
12th, saying only:
"Your letter just received disap
points me very seriously indeed and 1
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,
stated that the President said he would
be neutral as between any two loyal
candidates against Thos. W. Hard-
wiok. 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
loman, of course, had no direct knowl
edge of that conversation and his ver
sion of it conveys a vary falae lm-
preaalon, no doubt unintentionally on
his part, but the impres^jon it con

of the President's attitude and admit
ted that he and his friends know that
the President “thought Mr. Harris
should make the race against the Jun
ior senator from Georgia in preference

These Tell The Story
The statements of Mr. Howard and
the President speak for themselves:
"WM. SCHLEY HOWARD.
Promised Not Te 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 bs
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

"My Dear Sir:

cerning our recent conversation at

Which you sought with me. Mr. Hol-
tween Mr. Howard and President Wil

tion: “Can 1 vote for such a man for

broke his promise voluntarily given to
the President and tried to deceive the
people of Georgia as to what trans-
pin d in his self-sought interview with
the President, will not. the people l’ear
he would deceive them again? At
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"e
given, are never broken.
Mr. Howard had a perfect right to
run for senator without consulting the
President. But he did consult t^e
President. He found the President
for Hon. Win. J. Harris, because the
President had long tried Mr. Harris
and never found him wanting. Mr.
Howard still has a right to run for
senutor. Hut he can’t claim to be
running on the friendship or the con
fidence or the respect of our Com-
mander-in-Chief.
Washington, July 1.—The world’s
first $35,000,000,000 congress was a
reality today when the last appropria
tion measure of this session was flw
troduced in the house of representa
tives. Including loanss to the Al
lies, expenditures authorized at this
session totaled $35,189,000,000.
The appropriations are as follows:
Army bill, $12,089,000,000; navy, $1,-
659,000,000; loans to the Allies, $7,-
000,000; Sundry civil expenses, ap
proximately, $3,000,000,000; fortifica
tions, $5,500,000,000 shipping, $2,500,-
000,000; railroads and war finance cor
poration, $1,000,000,000; generul de
ficiency billffl, $992,000,000; ordinary
governmental appropriations, $1,449,-
000,000.
This sets a new record for legisla
tive appropriations. The bulk of this
money is for strictly war purposes.
The sundry civil and ordinary appro
priation bills, totaling together less
than $4,550,000, are the only measures
appropriating funds for other than war
work, and they are much higher than
they would be in peace times.
The Allied loan appropriation was
increased by $1,500,000,000 in the new
bond bill just passed by the house.
Most of the general deficiency bill
Is for the "military establishment.”
This includes $712,232,615 for cloth
ing anil camp equipment anil $13,636,-
554 for construction and repair of hos
pitals.
Tl x ho. se appropriation is raised
roni $60,000,000 tc $110,000,000.
An appropriation of $8,215,730 for
’he navy is also carried in the bill.
The bill likely be rushed through to
day.
