Mr, Reed and Atlanta

The promoters Of the Atlanta Expo
sition got a straight tip from Tom Reed,
and now feel grateful to him. When they
came up to Congress for an appropria-
tion, they called on the big Maine man
with a little hesitancy, and if the support
Of. the Republican leader hadn't been
absolutely essential to them, it is prob
able that they would have given him a
wide berth. Reed heard what they had
TO say to him, and then, looking down
on them paternally, he said: Gentle
men, you've been coming up here for
twenty years looking after your rights.
"I'm sglad to see you up here at last
looking after your interests. You may
count on me-" That remark of Reed
is current coin in Atlanta now. It has
helped to keep them up to their posi-
bilities. 1t is at the bottom of the invita-
ton which was giyento Reed to.deiiver

sition. The Republican leader il one
