GEORGIA RALLYING STRONG
AROUND WOODROW WILSON
Headquarters EnthuSed-
kansas viii Go Three to
One for Wilson

THE claims OF the combinations sup
porters that woodrow Wilson lost
Maine, regardless Of the Tact that their
own candidates were not even mentioned
there, are too ridiculous to be credited
for a moment by people who can read
news for themselves" declared Walter
p. Andrews. one Of the campaign man
ayers at Woodrow Wilson's Georgia
headquarters, Thursday morning,
A number of callers were received at
headquarters in the Kimball Thursday
morning, and much mail came in from
all parts of Georgia, bringing gooG re-
ports from everywhere with regard TO
Mr.. Wilson'S growing hold upon the at
tention and interest of the people.
Two of the callers we're G. Rainey
Williams, of Arkansas, here on other
business, who called at headquarters
incidentally because he is a warm
friend of Mr. Wilson; and Emerson H.
George of Madison, both Of whom had
interesting things to say.
'T ara an ardent admirer of Mr.. Will
son." declared Mr.. Williams. "And out
in Arkansas the great weight Of public
sentiment is, like mine. behind his can
didacy for president.
ARKANSAS FOR WILSON.
IT would be safe in saying that fully
IS per cent of the Democrats of that
state are naturally and enthusiastically
for Governor Wilson. and that they
will instruct for him. 1t is fact, how
ever, that there is a strong machine
there that is opposed to him. They start
ed into the campaign hy sounding the
praises of Harmon. Seeing that sug-
gestion fall fiat they then began to talk
about the propriety of sending an unin-
structed delegation. That also, failed
of approval, and there is no question but
that Wilson will get the state, over
uwelmingly.
TT was observed there mat Underwood
was never spoken of as a candidate I'M
til after his break with Mr. Bryan, and
the Democrats of Arkansas will be very
slow to support any man who received
his start in that way"
Mr.. George extolled Mr.. Wilson as one
of the ablest statesmen that the country
has produced
IF the Democrats are wise, they will
nominate Mr. Wilson when they con-
vene in Baltimore" declared he. And
IL Clark, Harmon and Underwood are
loyal and patriotic Democrats, they will
make Unanimous and the Democrats
will win.
Mr.. Wilson is not only the strongest
man in the Democratic party, but one
of the ablest statesmen this country
has produced. He is a scholar. philoho-
pher. statesman, and above all, a man
of the most exalted character. Person
ally speaking, 1 cannot understand why
there should be the slightest hesita-
ton on the part of the Democrats to
nominate him. Mr.. Wilson is a south
erner of the purest blood, who, going
north after he reached his majority has
in spite of any possible sectional preju-
dice, received at the hands of northern
&c ha oh
"AIl Georgians should be proud of him
and 1 cannot but believe that this state
will give him an overwhelming majority
at the primary.
1.-THE matter has not been greatly talk
ed in my own county of Morgan. but
Judging from the past and the distinct
progressive sentiment there, 1 have not
the slightest doubt that Wilson will
easily carry the county,
