applying them in diamond shapc. Sew

JOSEPH POTTLE HAS
MADE ANNOUNCEMENT
FOR GOVERNOR. A WARM,
PERSONAL FRIEND OF
GOV. HARRIS. HIS RACE
CAUSES SURPRISE.

Atlanta, Ga, May 22.-The an
nouncement of Joseph E. Pottle,
OF Milledgeville, for governor was
quite a surprise to the friends of
Governor Nat Harris, on account
OF the fact that Mr.. Pottle and
Governor Harris are warm per-
sonal friends.
1t is generally known that Mr..
Politics. friendship for the COVER
nor was the influence that kept
him out of the race for several
weeks, and the governors friends
are at loss to understand how
Mr.. Pottle saw his way clear to
oppose Governor Harris in view
of this fact.
Another element of surprise to
the governors friends in the Pot
tie announcements is the fact that
MIR. Pottle is an avowed prohibi-
tlonists, and his convictions on
this subject are believed also to
have been deterrant influence in
his constellation of the gubernato-
rial race.
Still another surprise to the
governors friends is the fact that
Mr.. Pottle is the son Of a Confed-
crate veteran and a member of
the Sons of United Confederate
Veterans, while Governor Harris
is a veteran of the Civil war and
the last one, in all probability,
who will ever sit in tn governors
chair.
In view of Mr.. Politics. friend
ship for Governor Harris, in view
of the fact that he is a prohibi-
zionist and Governor Harris is the
recognized candidate of the prohi-
bition forces in the state, in view
of Mr.. Pottle's membership in the
Sons of United Confederate Vet
Grams, it was not considered like
ly by the governors friends that
Mr.. Pottle would put aside these
things in order to yield to his CUB
aspirations.
1t is not likely that any further
attempts will be made to circu-
late reports that Governor Harris
will not stay in the race for re-
election. He made his intentions
very plain, in this regard, when
his old comrades of the Confeder-
acy tried to elect his commander
OF the Department of Tennessee,
during the recent reunion of the
United Confederate Veterans in
Birmingham. Gov. Harris told
the veterans he was running for
reelection in Georgia, that he ex-
pected to be re-eleced, and there
fore his time would be occupied
for another two years which made
it impossible for him to take on
the additional duties of the posi-
ton to which they. sought to
elect him.
