Atlanta Ca. Aug. s.-Gov. Atkinso.-,
who has been in North Carolina on fish
ing expedition since Tuesday last with
judge George r. Gober Of the Blue Ridge
circuit viii return on Monday and at once
take hold Of the campaign for the state
ticket
The democratic leaders are all convinced
that they viii have TO put up a good strong
fight to defeat the fusion ticket by the Gus
tomary majority. although they are con-
fdent that the final result viii be a dem
ocratic victory.
seab Wright Is regarded as the most
troublesome man that the populists could
possibly have nominated aside from Wat
son himself. and many think that he Will
make a stronger showing than even Wat
son could make in a campaign before all
the people OF the state.
The populists propose 10 open up their
campaign headquarters in this city at
once. John D. Cunningham. who managed
the Hines campaign as vice chairman of
the executive committee and chairman OF
the regular campaign committee. has been
selected 70 MI the Office Of chairman Of the
state committee this time, and will man
age the fight for the populsts.
II Is reported that one OF the first things
ahat viii be done Will be 10 get out daily
campaign paper here in Atlanta. SedD
Wright has always had a prediction for
newspapers. and is a great believer in their
efficacy as adJuncts TO campaign.
II Is not improbable that he Will take
good block of the stock in the campaign
paper, and will help edit IL in connection
with his campaign from the stump. Wright
IS Ike Watson in his capacity for work.
He could make a speech every day, AMI
edit a newspaper at night, and those who
know him and the methods he believes
in, are already looking for the announce
ment of his campaign paper.
Chairman Steve Clay of the democratic
state committee takes the situation witn-
out the least degree OF alarm. He knows
Seab Wright well. personally and pOlid-
cally. and Is familiar with his weak
points and his methods OF campaigning.
for whatever the pOpulist candidate may
have said about his little experience as
candidate, IL is nevertheless true that ne

fights that have been made In that neck
of the woods in recent years.
The nomination of the state ticket, and
the adoption OF their policy IN reference
to the national situation gives Chairman
Clay and the democratic managers the
Zine of battle which they have been wait
9ng for for the past few weeks, and they
can now go ahead and shell the woods
Speakers are TO be placed IN the field
everywhere. and a most vigorous and un-
ceasing democratic IRE kept up from now
on till after the election.
The democratic leaders laugh at the
proposition OF the populsts to give them
six electors II Mr. Sewall is retired They
do not consider fusion on such terms as
worthy OF a moments serious thought
and viii go ahead unless something now
totally unlocked for happens and makes
the fight square out against the popu-
lists and for the Bryan and Sewau ticket.
The advisory committee will probably
be called to meet next week by Chairman
Clay to map out the lines OF the cam
paign.
