It is expected that thin matter will be taken up by the members of the Of ficers* Association of the National Guard of Georgia at the coming meet ing at Camp Taft. Chlrkamauga, next u^ek. when definite action will be taken. The opposition to the measure Is strong and there are many reasons sub mitted by those Interested why the measure should bo defeated. It Is said that the same bill has come up before the senate at every session since the Dick bill went Into effect and as many times has been defeated. It Is argued that the state has all It eftn do to clothe and equip the mllltla now In service; that the mllltla organi zations have been pruned down to a basis where they can he taken care of by the state, and that additional troops mustered Into the stnto service under this measure would militate against the present organization and tend to dis courage the present national guards men. It Is believed by many to be an ef fort to create a law to enable the 8a- vunnah Volunteer Guards to leave the service of the state under the Dick bill nnd still remain a "home guard" under more lenient military laws. The fact that only ex-soldlers who have had five years or more service shall be ellglblo Is cited as an Indication that this Is the case; this, too, coupled with the fact that the Volunteer Guards have never been satisfied with the provisions of the stringent government requirements.

Member of tha National Committee, Written for the Hearst News Serv ice. , DENVER, July 9.—There seems to be no doubt that Mr. Bryan will be named the candidate for president by the Dem ocretlc convention today. That this Is so I attribute very largely to the action of the New York delegation. If they had stood out the result might have been different. As New York Is responsible for Mr. Bryan's nomination, I am curious to see what they will do for his election In November, whether they will play the same politics In New York as they have In Denver. Doubtless the platform will be framed to suit the views of Mr. Bryan. GEORGIA WOMEN Annual Convention Opens Thursday in Universal- ist Church.
