The Man of the Hour, and Why
William J. Harris was born in Ce
dartown, Polk county, Georgia, Feb
ruary 3, 1868. He was educated in
the common schools of Polk county
and the University of Georgia, teach
ing school during the summer to pro
vide means for his college training.
In 1895, he married Miss Julia Whee
ler, daughter of Gen. Joseph Wheeler,
the distinguished Southern cavalry
leader. Mr. Harris has three brothers
now serving in the United States
Army, Gen. P. C. Harris, Maj. Seals
Harris and 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, he
succeeded in establishing the “white
primary,” in 1892,
As private secretary to Senator A.
8. Clay, and under the training of this
distinguished Georgian, Mr. Harris be
gan, in early life, to look after the
interests in Washington of Georgians
from every section.
In 1912 Mr. Harris managed Presi
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 larget 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
there worked and voted for every
measure that would help the farmers
and benefit the taxpayers of the state.
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 $lOO per month. This law has
saved the state thousands of dollars.
In 1917 alone, it saved the state net,
$182,588.
(2) Mr. Harris introduced and 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 measgures
looking to freeing the state froma “he
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
the 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 were permitted to keep
down the price of cotton by including
in the census estimate the number of |
bales of liniers cotton. Mr. Harris hadi
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 chargedJ
Long time loans on improved farms in Cobb, Milton, Cherckee, 1;.31"
tow, Paulding and Douglas counties. Also on high class town properties.
Low rate of interest and reasonable commission.
Representing the Kennesaw Morigage Company, Atlanta, I can ges
quick action on al] applications. :
Call to see me or write me your wants.
J. D. MALGNE, Marietta, Ga.
Friday Morning, July 26th, 1918.
that there were “leaks” in cotton esti
mates of the censu# bureau. Not once
gince the administration of Mr. Harris
has there been the slightest suspicion
of a “leak” in the census reports.
"In. the census bureau, Mr, Harris
changed the “age limit,” fixed by the
Republicans, so that Confederate Vet
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
wag in keeping with his devotion to
the old soldiers. His father was a
brave Confederate Veteran, and his
father-in-law was the gallant “Little
Joe” Wheéler.
Promoted by the President.
Due to Mr. Harrig’ efficient adminis
tration of the census bureau, President
Wilson promoted him by appointing
him a member of the federal trade
board. Recognizing his ability, his
colleagues, two years later, elected him
chairman of the board. Resigning to
enter his campaign for United States
genator as the loyal supporter of Pres
ident Wilson in winning the war, as
against the present junior senator from
Georgia, Mr. Harris carried with him
the love, esteem, confidence and best
wisheés of his colleagues, the depart
ment heads and the President who had
further expressed his confidence in Mr.
Harris by the following additional ap
pointments: * BEE
(1) Appointed by the President as
member of the 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 2 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 named Hon. Victor Murdoch.
The Confidence of Mr. Wilson.
Further indicative of tfie confidence
of. President Wilson in Mr. Harris, is
the following conclusion of the Presi
dent's letter accepting his resignation
from the federal trade commigsion to
run for the United States senate:
“May I not say how warmly I have
appreciated the way in which you have
performed the difficult and often deli
cate duties assigned to you in the
trade commission? 1 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 withi
conditions 2t the national capitol. 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 and Democracy,
than probably any other Georgian now
in the public eye. Mr. Harris’ elec
tion will mean that the good nameé
of Georgia will be redeémed from the
charge of disloyalty and “kaiserism”
with which it has been stained by the
misrepresentation of the recent past.
