PRoGRESsIVEs MAY
HAVE STATE TICKET

Macon, June 19.-The Progressive
party in Georgia will probably put a
state ticket in the field, according to
Harry Stilwell Edwards of Macon,
chairman of the executive committee
at is entirely probably" said Mfr
Edwards today, that the Progressive
party will put out a state ticket this
fall, and it will be supported by the
best element of the Republicans. In
the recent state convention it was de-
cided to place no state ticket in the
field this year, but the national sit
uation as now developed may cause
q reconsideration. Il state ticket, it
is argued, would unite and solidify
the party and preserve it's autonomy
At least, many thing so. AS soon as
the national committee acts ! shall,
as state chairman, call the party to-
gether in convention and lay before
it their findings and recommends
tons"
Mr.. Edwards also stated that he
violates no confidence when he says
that the control of affairs in Georgia
will be in the hands of the Walter
Johnson faction if Justice Hughes is
elected.
