William Schley Howard wag nomi
nated formally for Congress Satur
day at the Fifth District Democratic
Convention in the Senate Chamber
at the Capitol.
Tributes to Congressman Howard
and his record in the national House
of Representatives were pald by sev
eral speakers, In accepting the nom
ination Congressman Howard urged
Democrats 1o rally to the cause of
Woodrow Wilson.
If every Democrat will inform
himself of the accomplishments of
the Wilson Administration and put
his shoulder to the wheel and do his
part as a Democrat you will see rolled
up for Woodrow Wilson in November
the greatsast majority ever given to
the Democratic party in its history,”
he said.
“The present prosperity of this
country is due to two pieces of leg
islation recommended by the Presi
dent and enacted into law by Con-
Bress
Protects Small Business.
“One is the, Clayton anti-trust act,
which throws the protecting arm and
power of the United States Govern
ment around the small business con
cern and protects it from unlawful
combinations which would geek 2o de
stroy it, and gives equal opportunity
to those of small means who desire
to associate themselves together in
industrial undertakings.
“The other, which will bring forth
the greatest campaign fund and more
Republican orators than were ever
expended in a national election with
@ hope of defeating the Wilson Ad
ministration that this legislation may
be repealed, is the Federal Reserve
act, which has been declared by
Buropean financial experts as well as
patriotic American bankers to bathe
grcatest plece of financial legisla
tion ever enacted in the history of the
world.”
Dr. J. H. Goss, of DeKalb, was
elected chairman of the convention
and Lamar Hill, of Fulton, was chosen
secretary. J. C. Woodward, of Col
lege aPrk, made the nomination,
