Mr. Watson is warm and cordial in

approval of Mr. Bartlett
Mr. Watson thinks Walter Wise is
made of the right congressional stuff,
and that Mr.. Bartlett has had the job
long enough, anyway
The race between Bartlett and Wise

enough for one who gets entertain
ment from such things. The present
member has been in harness a long
time, and knows the ropes we'll; he has
faced opposition before and has never
failed to overcome 1t.
Nevertheless, the impression unques-
tionably exists that the Bibb county
man is up against just little harder
game this year than he ever faced be-
fore and if he is not careful, Wise
will put it over on him this trip.
Wise is said to be a wonderful fight

claim enough to nominate-are con-
coded to him.
