THAT HARMON BOOM.

The Democratic boom for Harmon
is said 10 be one Of the best organized
since the discovery Of Alton b. Parker
seven years ago. Lieutenant Governor
Nichols Of Ohio is acting as the Har
mon organizer, and he claims that the
eastern organizations are behind Har-
mon.
The Harmon boom will not lack
funds. II is the claim of his hackers
that the Ohio governor has record
satisfactory to the men of the east
who are Interested I'm big finance"
This is said TO be the reason why the
Harmon boom can get lots of money
back of it without any solicitation on
Harmons part. Plenty Of funds for
organization work are in sight in the
east, and the Harmon workers realize
that Governor Woodrow Wilson. the
only formidable rival, will be handi-
capped because the eastern interests
will not open up fund to make him
president. much less to do missionary
work in the preliminaries in his inter-
est.
The limitations that the Harmon
campaign fund will be no stingy affair
has made the state organizers sit up
and take early notice Organizer Mich
OILS reports a live interest among the
committeeman in the east. So jubi-
liant is he, after his visit to New York
and Washington, that ne makes claims
as follows:
Harmon will have the New York del
egation i'm the next Democratic con-
vention.
The Ohio governor will have New
England solid.
Governor Wilson will not carry the
east.
The Wilson boom is chimerical and
will not last.
limitations come from the middle
west that the Illinois and Indiana
state organizations favor the ohio
man.
Michigan is reported as already
promised for Harmon by the men who
handle Democratic politics in that
state. In Washington he says he
found that the congressman and the
senators are leaning toward Harmon.
The work OF organizing will proceed
In a systematic fashion.
