There seems to be no likelihood
whatever that William Schley How
ard, Congressman from the Fifth Dis
trict, will have opposition for re-
election next year.
Mr.. Howard is now serving his sec
ond term in Congress. and apparently
his services have proven to be en-
tirely acceptable to his constituents
at least, nobody seems inclined to
raise that issue with him at pres
ent.
Mr. Howard, while one OF the
younger men in the National House.
Is easily one Of the most popular. He
employs that same amazing faculty
for making friends in Washington
that stood him In such good stead as
holder of lesser offices here In
Georgia.
When Howard first offered for Con-
gress against the then generally rated
inVinciblo Leonidas Felix Livingstone,
his less intimate acquaintance gasped
and admired his pluck, while doubt
Ing his judgment. They did not know,
however what a resourceful cam
paigner Howard is!
AS a mixer" II is not probable that
Howard has half a dozen peers I'm

superior. His handshake is a win

his free and easy familiarity and
friendliness with all classes of voters

Schley Howard will have opposition
and maybe there will arise man In
