MILES May ENTER THE RACE.

"Under the caption of "unwelcome
news" the Macon Telegraph refers to
the probable candidacy of Nelson A.
Miles for the presidency, AMI states
the situation quite correctly as
follows:
An Indianapolis dispatch states
that General Miles has consented to
be the nominee of the Prohibition
party at its convention IN that city on
June 20 and quotes Chairman Newlin
as follows; AS vigorous opponent
of the army canteen and an enemy
of Roosevelt and friends of the South
ern Democrats, General Miles W II be
sure to poll , ooo, 600 votes.
The ZOO, 600 votes, if he gets them
will do him no good, and will do some
candidate. probably the Democratic,
much harm
The clmpaigners of General Miles
will have to do much talking before
they can explain in what way he has
shown himself to be a friend OF
Southern Democrats, unless his long
known willingness to accept their
votes may be so construed. Moreover,
Southern Democrats still recall with
some measure of resentment an early
ep sode in his history.
"We do not think, therefore, thai
any considerable percentage of the
100000 votes will be furnished by
the Democrats of this section
"But in the doubtful states, where
every vote tells, enough Democrats
may vote for General Miles and pro
hibition to do their own party serious
harm. They are the more likely tc
do this ifthe nominee of their owr
party is not the man of their choice

SAYS HEARST NOT AVAIL ABLE

In long and very strong letter to
the Augusta Chr nice, and published
yesterday in its entirety. Senator
Steve Clay writes interestingly and
dispassionately upon the presidential
contest viewed from a democratic
standpoint, Senator Clay declares
that Hearst is not considered seriously
anywhere as the party nominee; that
it would be party mistake to put him
at the head of the ticket, as it would
give democracy a staggering blow
from which it would take many years
to recover. If, says Senator Clay "we
make strong aggressive fight, led
by candidate worthy to be the
standard bearer of our party, we un-
doubtedly will make gains In the
doubtful states, and even should we
be defeated, the party will be strength
ened and united for future usefulness.
I frankly admit that we have before
us herculean task to defeat the party
now in power" Senator Clay declares,
further, that we must look 10 New
York, Maryland, New Jersey, Della
ware, Illinois, Indiana and the Solid
South, combined, for party success at
the polls. Senator Clay says the
general impression in Washington is
that Judge Parker will head the
Democratic ticket, and expresses the
believe tha' as the nominee he can
unite the party factions and lead
Democracy to victory in November.
