BACON WILL VOTE
FOR TREATY
WROTE TO THE MAYOR.
THE LETTER WAS A PERSONAL
ONE, HOWEVER.

senior Senator From Georgia win
Announce His Determination in
the senate This WeelS-When He
Wrote Mayor Myers He Had Not
received the Resolutions Adopted
by City Council - Senator Clay
Thanked Mayor for IndOrsing His
Position.
Mayor Myers received a letter yes
4erday from Senator Bacon announc-
ing that he will vote for the Panama
treaty While the Mayor was not dis
nosed to discuss the matter, he said
that he had the assurance that Sena-
for Bacon would support the treaty
when it comes to a vote.
This information was gratifying to
Senator Bacon's friends in Savannah,
as they have been exceedingly anxious
for him to give the canal treaty his
support, since it means SO much for
the future development of the South
and the State of Georgia
Senator Bacon has been anxious to
please his friends in Georgia by sup
porting the treaty but, he, with a num-
Der of his Democratic colleagues, while
anxious for the construction of an 18TH
milan canal, were doubtful as to the
treaty.
At the time Senator Bacon wrote the
letter to Mayor Myers he had not re-
ceived the resolutions adopted by City
Council in special session calling upon
him to take the same action in the
treaty matter that the junior senator
announced he would take.
Clay Acknowledged Mayors Letter.
The Mayor was also in a receipt of a
letter from Senator Clay, thanking him
for his letter indorsing his announced
determination to support the treaty.
The letter read as follows:
My Dear Mr.. Myers: 1 beg to ac-
knowledge receipt of your favor indors-
ing my announced position on the Pam
anna treaty. l beg to assure you that
] appreciate most highly your kind
words, and I am gratified to know that
my course meets the approval of the
people of Georgia. L have given every
doubt in favor of the integrity of my
own country, keeping in view the COM
mercial interests of our people"
VIII Make Announcement Soon.
1t is the opinion here that Senator
Bacon will explain his position in the
Senate during the early part of the
week. and announce his determination
to support the treaty.
Senators Clay and Bacon will not be
the only Democratic senators from the
South who will vote for the Panama
treaty as Senators Simmons of North
Carolina. Clarke of Arkansas and the
senators from the state of Louisiana
announced some time ago that they
would give the pending treaty their
support,

T. p. AS WILL GATHER
IN AUGUSTA APRIL 14-16.
Decision Made at n Meeting of the
Stnte Directors.

Decision Made at n Meeting of the
State Directors.
The annual state convention OF the
Travellers Protective Association will
be held in Augusta, April 14-15-16.
These dates were decided on last night
at a meeting of the directors of the
organization. held for that purpose.
The date varies from year to year.
1t has been the custom to allow the
local post Of the city in which the con-
vention is held, to determine in large
measure the time that 1t will be most
convenient to its members to have
the convention meet.
Mr.. J. w. Thompson of Augusta, a
member of Post Z OF that city. and
one of the state directors. was in Sa-
vannah to attend the meeting. He
says 1t IS the intention of the Angus
tans to make this convention the best
and largest that has ever been held in
the state; that in this effort they have
the Chamber of Commerce and the
Board of Trade back Of them, and have
already raised about $500 for the ex-
penses of the undertaking.
The anticipated attendance is be-
tween 300 and 500 members but as
these affairs always draw many other
persons, people not connected with the
organization, to the city in which the
meeting is held. it is believed that the
attendance will really be in the vicin-
ity of ESQ. The railroads, as usual,
will allow a low rate of fare.
Notices of the action Of the board
last night will be communicated to all
members of the board not present at
the meeting Immediately, and steps will
be taken at once to work up enthusiasm
throughout the state. Savannah has
always been able to send one of the
largest delegations of any post in the
state, and it is probable that the num-
per this time will be even greater than
usual.
