and the whole effect was perfectly
charming.
For Picnics and Other F estive
Occasions.
They are showing the most fascin
ating sets of "things” now; there is
the wide brimmed shade hat with an
interesting design worked in wool cr
with flat flowers appliqued around the
crown; a deep bag, presumably for
knitting, but far larger tha/ those
we have been accustomed to seeing,
which can iioid a week-end wardrobe
if necessary; a sports suit, consisting
of n sleeveless coat with two skirts,
one being camouflaged in the bag;
sperts shoes with low heels; and a
wide spreading parasol. With this set
one feels able to set forth on a pro
longed ai to or camping trip.
'outh Plus Simplicity Equals
'• Charm.
Illustrated here is a very attractive
little frock that is just as simple a3 it
2an be. It is cut all in one, with two
seams, those under the arms and down
the skirt. The Quaker gray poplin of
the dress is relieved by the white
braiding and white soutache braid
binds the round collarless neck and
i'v.er edge of the sleeves. The dress
buttons on each shoulder with large
white pearl buttons, and the belt, with
its rows of white braid, slips through
slashes in the front, and fastens under,
thus showing no fastening. The drop
shoulder is one of the very newest of
he Fail fasltions.
Hints of Autumn.
Now that we have gotten Summer
nicely started, wo are turning cur
thoughts to Autumn and the necessary
Fall wardrobe. Every now and then
one sees on the street a velvet hat.
The shops have been showing them
for some time now. but perhaps be
cause we have had such a cool sum
mer, the devotees of "something new"
have not rushed the season as they
were wont to do of old. Velvet coat
ees and slip on jackets are quite pop-

WILLIAM J. HARRIS
Candidate for the
United States Senate ^
The Man of the Hour, and Why
William J. Harris was born in Co-
dartown, Polk county, Georgia, Feb
ruary 3, 1868. He wan educated in
tho common schools of Polk county
and the University of Georgia, teach
ing school during the summer to pro
vide moans for his college training.
ler, daughter of Gen. Joseph Wheeler,
the distinguished Southern cavalry
leader. Mr. Harris has throe brothers
now serving in the United States
Army, Gen. P. C. Harris, Maj. Seals
Harris end Capt. Hunter Harris. Many
young men have been beneficiaries
of Mr. Harris’ aid in obtaining an edu
cation to equip them for life’s work.
Political Service.
As Chairman of the Polk County
Democratic Executive Committee, lie
succeeded in establishing the "while
primary,”, In 1892.
As private secretary to Senator A.
S. Clay, and under the training of this
distinguished Georgian, Mr. Harris be
gun, in early life, to look after the
interests in Washington of Georgians
from every section.
In 1912 Mr. Harris managed lY#!-
dent Wilson’s first campaign in Geor
gia; was elected chairman of the
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee, and played prominent part in roll
ing up the largest majority Georgia
ever gave a candidate for President.
Legislative Service.
Mr. Harris represented the 38th dis
trict in the state senate in 1911-12, and
tliero worked and voted for every
meusure that would help the farmers
nnd benefit the taxpayers of the stale.
Some of these include:
(1) Mr. Harris introduced and aid
ed in the passage of the bill abolish
ing the unlimited fees of oil Inspec
tors, and fixing their maximum salary
at $100 pel month. This law has
saved the state thousands of dollars.
In 1917 alone. It saved the state net.
$1S.2,588.
(2) Mr. Harris introduced nnd pass
ed the bill requiring lobbyists to reg
ister, thereby eliminating the grafting,
professional lobbyist, and protecting
legislation.
(3) Mr. Harris advocated the sepa
rate leasing of the W. & A. Railroad
from the other state property in Chat
tanooga. a policy since adopted by the
“Lease Commission.” ,
(4) Personally, Mr. Harris has al
ways been a consistent prohibitionist,
and has always supported all measures
looking to freeing the state from the
liquor traffic.
National Service.
As director of the United States Cen
sus, to which he was appointed by
President Wilson, officials today say
that Mr. Harris was the most efficient
director since the bureau was estab
lished. The chief "criticism” against
his administration, made by Judge
Hughes, Republican nominee for Presi
dent. was that he appointed so many
Georgia Democrats to positions in the
department.
President Wilson appointed Mr. Har
ris acting secretary of commerce, in
tho absence of Secretary Redfield, and
cordially approved his services and ef
ficiency as a temporary member of the
cabinet.
Under Republican rule the Wall
street gamblers wore permitted to ke*p
down the price of cotton by including
in the census estimate the number of
bales of linters cotton. Mr. Harris had
the linters estimate separated from
the regular cotton reports, which re
duced the estimates and tended to
raise the price of cotton. During Re
publican rule, it was freely charged
(ADVERTISEMENT)
that there were "leaks” In cotton esti
mates *of the census bureau. Not onc«
since the administration of Mr. Harris
has there been the slightest suspicion
of a “leak” In the census reports.
In the census bureau, Mr. Hnrris
changed the "ago lilfiit,” fixed by the
Republicans, so that Confederate Vet-
In 1S95, he married MIsh Julia Whee- .erans could be given the same oppor
tunities as Union Veterans; and many
old Confederate Soldiers are now hold
ing good places in the department It
was tn keeping with his devotion to
the old soldiers. His fnther was a
brave Confederate Veteran, and hid
father-in-law was tho gallant “Little
Joe” Wheeler.
Promoted by the President.
Due to Mr. Harrlp’ efficient adminis
tration of tlin census bureau, President
Wilson promoted him by appointing
him a member of the federal trade
board. Recognizing his ability, his
colleagues, two yenrs later, elected him
chalrmnn of the board. Resigning to
enter his campaign for United States
senator as tSe loyal supporter of Pres
ident Wilson In winning tho war, as
against the present junior senator from
Georgia, Mr. Harris carried with him
the love, esteem, confidence and test
wishes of his colleagues, the depart
ment heads and the President who had
further expressed bis confidence in Mr.
Harris by tho following additional ap
pointments:
(1) Appointed by the President, no
member of tho price fixing committee
of the war industries board, to fix
prices for army supplies. When New
England manufacturers endeavored to
fix the price of cotton, Mr. Harris op
posed them most vigorously. He also
brought charges against the "bagging
trust” which Is now facing trial.
(2) The President named the sec
retary of agriculture, Mr. Hoover and
Mr. Harris a committee of three to In
vestigate the advisability of the gov
ernment taking over the meat packing
houses. The President's confidence
was further expressed when Mr. Har
ris resigned, by the request that he
name his own successor, and Mr. Har
ris nnmed Hon. Victor Murdoch.
The Confidence of Mr. Wilson.
Further indicative of the confidence
of President Wilson in Mr. Harris, is
tho following conclusion of the Presi
dent’s letter accepting his resignation
from the federal trade commission to
run for the United States senate:
"May T not say bow warmly I hare
appreciated the way in which you have
performed the difficult and often deli
cate duties assigned to yAu in the
trade commission? I am sure that
I am expressing the general feeling
when 1 express my regret at your
withdrawal.
"Cordially and sincerely yours,
"WOODROW WILSON.
"Hon. William J. Harris,
“Federal Trade Commission."
Mr. Harris’ Qualifications.
Mr. Harris is in close touch with
conditions at the national cepltol. His
relations with the administration are
intimate. He has the confidence and
esteem of the President and depart
ment heads. Through these relations
he is in better position to represent
Georgia in the United States senate—
her people, her commercial, financial
and agricultural interests and to ren
der effective aid and service to Geor
gia soldier and sailor boys, fighting
for Americanism nnd Democracy,—
than probnbly any other Georgian now
in the public eye. Mr. Harris’ elec
tion will mean that the good name
of Georgia will be redeemed from the
charge of disloyalty and "kaiserlsm”
with which it has been stained by the
mforteresentation of the recent past.
