HARRIS GROWING IN
STRENGTH OVER STATE

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. 1.-Reorts
reaching Atlanta from every portion
of the state bring the news that Gov
ernor Harris is daily growing in
strength, and the wise political proph-
cts around the Kimball House, and
other places where the politicians
gather in the capita1 city are openly
predicting that the governor will go
into the convention with more county
unit votes than any other candidate.
The fact that the governors three
opponents showed their best bursts OF
speed at the outset of the race, where
as the governor was jogging along at
d conservative gain, and having very
little to say, deceived a good many
observers into the mistaken belief
that Governor Harris would not be a
factor.
Now the tide has turned. While the
other candidates have reached their
top notch speed and are beginning to
show the strain. Governor Harris has
just begun to get underway. On his
speaking tour which will cover fifty
counties the governor is being heard
by the largest audiences that have
greeted any candidate, and voters are
flocking to his standard by the thous-
ands.
The fact that the governor is the
last Confederate veteran who is likely
to occupy the governors chair in
Georgia, and probably the last to be
governor in any Southern state; the
fact that he refused to let the liquor in
terests bulldoze him into leaving pho
hibition out of the call for the extra
session last fall; the fact that he han
died the Stripping case in his own good
way, and his own good time, refusing
to accept the dictation of either Thorn
as E. Watson or the people who were
clamoring for immediate action in
Striling's behalf; the fact that he We
toed the Neill primary bill without a
moments hesitation; the fact that he
has paid the school teachers promptly
for the first time in the history of the
state-these and many other notable
features of the governors record are
making his candidacy increasingly
strong and the difficulties of his op-
ponents increasingly embarrassed.

State Board Of Health
Approves Of Baby Week

The department Of public health of

is in receipt of the following letter
from DR.. G. J. McGurren, secretary Of
the state board Of health, which is of
great interest in view of the approach.
ing Baby Week" observance, which
is to be nationwide: ...
Devils Lake, Feb. 4.
II am greatly interested in the
worthy cause you represent-one that
is gaining impetus from all corners of
the civilized world. The Better
Baby" movement is great work and
should be met with every encourage
ment and cooperation. No doubt
"Baby Week" will be observed this
year all over this country. This, re-
duced to it's lowest terms, is an edu'
cational campaign, pure and simple,
and for better babies. There is no
field that l know of more prolific for
good along this line than right here in
North Dakota.
During the past fiscal year there
were reported to this Office 1894
deaths. Of these over Is per cent oc-
cured in children under one year of
age and, think of it, over SO per cent
were from causes preventable!
"The child of today is the man OF
tomorrow, but who interests himself
enough to teach the mothers how to
nourish and foster these future men,
The solution of this problem rests
with such a body of organized workers
as you represent. You not only assist
in saving the lives of these infants, but
make far better babies and at the
same time plant productive seed in
the public mind that will terminate
and grow into a sentiment for the
creation of funds that permanent
children's bureau may be established
and sustained.
II shall be very glad to make men
ton of this phase of health work in the
next issue of the Bulletin and beg tc
cooperate with you in this worthy en-
deavor at all times.
II regret to say that we have nc
charts or material that will assist you
in carrying on this work at this time
but am mailing you such printed mat
ter as we have on hand.
wishing you every success in this
splendid work, l am, very sincerely,
