Democratic opponents Of William J.
Bryan. who set out 10 show President
Elect Wilson how unwise it would be
as Secretary OF state. have evidently
started something akin to that affair
at Baltimore, from which Mr.. Bryan.
after being declsively eliminated
emerged as the chief force which had
made Governor Wilson the party's
standard bearer
Mr.. Bryan has since said he did not
do 1.-THE Democratic rank and file
did it-but he simply knew when TO
find the faucet to turn on the will Of
the party. Mr.. Bryan may not have
been turning on any other faucet. but
evidence OF his popularity has been
engaging the attention Of Governor
Wilson in the last few days.
When erroneous reports were printed
in New York and elsewhere that GOV
eInor Wilson had offered the state
portfolio 10 Mr.. Bryan. there was i'm
mediate evidence in the mail that such
a step would be exceedingly unpopular
wrote their protests-in most cases
making Governor Wilson pay postage
duty-and editorials of various news
papers were often inclosed. The news
of this opposition was cabled TO the
United States Then some one turned
on the faucet and the rank and file
responded with a Will.
Advocate Bryan.
Governor Wilson, when he saw the
correspondents to-day. explained that
he had spent more than four hours
reading his mail. and that most Of the
letters were strongly in advocacy of
Mr.. Bryan for the chief post in the
Cabinet He said that while the first
I letters had opposed the Nebraskan. the
communications favoring him now
counted up at the ratio of about four
to one.
Then Mr.. Bryan still has friends?''
ventured one of the interviewers
"He numbers them by the hundreds
of thousands was the quick and en-
phatic reply.
II was evident that Governor Wilson
valued the letters championing the
Nebraskan over those containing pro-
tests. and was pleased to learn OF the
popularity of che man ne had once
wanted knocked into cOcAtu nat

"All womanhood suffers definite deg

comfortable waists, shorter and less

but it is in the abuse of these comfort

Improper transparent bodices, no

SUFFRAGETTES WILL BE
AFTER THE LEGISLATORS
When General Assembly COnveneS
Next Summer.

Atlanta, Dec. 19.-The members of
the Georgia legislature may as well
look forward resignedly to the fact
that they are going to have to go on
record on the suffragette question this
coming summer. Few as they are in
this state, the suffragettes are active
and they have decided to have a bill
introduced at the coming session of
the general assembly, seeking to so
amend the constitution as to provide
votes for white women
They have little hope of passing the
measure in 1913, but they have very
definite hopes of making the anti-suff-
rage members of the legislature slight
ly uncomfortable. They don't threat
en- to break windows and hurl bricks
like their English sisters but they
are talking militant talk, of storming
the state house. They propose, how
ever, to storm it with ideas, speeches,
if possible. a7d suffragette circulars,
rather than with hatchets
The suffragattes haven't decided yet
whom they will ask to introduce the
measure, but that they will succeed in
getting it before the Legislature is
certain, as there are at least three or
four outspoken advocates of votes for
women ALREADY seated in the upper
and lower branches of the assembly.
Miss Evelyn Noragon, the second
suffragette who has been in Georgia
during the past two or three months,
is stirring 'ep up in South Georgia
now, and is going to visit other parts
eff the state. The women of Georgia
who want to vote are being urged to
take the matter up direct with their re-
personalities in the legislature,
1t is anticipated that the bill viii
be productive at least of some lively
and highly interesting debates.
