COL. HARVEY SAYS
ssss
HUGHES WILL WIN

In the New York Herald's Sunday
presidential straw ballot, 294,599
votes have been polled. Hughes leads
by 722 votes. In the same test week
ago, Hughes led by 1921 votes.
1t is granted by both sides that the
battle reached it's climax a few days
ago. The republicans claim that since
that time the swing has been in their
direction. The democrats do not con-
tend that there has been continuation
of the marked drift of two weeks ago,
but feel confident that the strong cur
rent driving in their direction up to
the time there came a lull was suffici-
ont to overcome any back drift which
may be started by the republicans.
The Herald says:
During the week the president
made gains, large and small, in eigh-
teen states, Mr.. Hughes made gains in
eight. There were no important
changes in the totals from nine states.
in New York City the president
gained. Upstate Mr.. Hughes made ad-
vances.
IF the tide continues to run in the
presidents direction at the same speed
that has marked it during the last
three weeks Mr. Wilson will be in a
fair way to sweep away the big normal
pluralities upon which the republicans
have relied

MACON, THE PLACE.

The board of the new rural credits
bank, representing the government and
empowered to select sites over the
country for the various banks, has Wis
tied Macon. The Bibb city was strong
in her representations and many prom
inent people over the state joined in
the appeals and arguments favoring
the selection of Macon.
Certainly, Georgia should have one
of these banks, and the only remain
ing question is the site for the institu-
ton. Macon is the largest city in the
state so close to the agricultural hub
of Georgia, and through her central To-
cation is convenient for the Southern
states catering to the bank placed in
this section.
1t is to be hoped that Macon will be
chosen by the visitors as the site for
the rural credits bank in this part of
the country.

Colonel Harvey Says Hughes Wins.

Col. George Harvey, in the North
American Review, predicts that
Hughes will win.
Introducing the Harvey estimate in
this statement by the North American
Review:
-Four years ago Colonel George
Harvey guessed wrong as to only one
state in his election forecast. In 1908
he was only seventeen ELECTORAL votes
cut of the way, and in 1904 only TWEEN
ty-two. In April of the present year,
before single state had indicated
preference for the nominee, he colsed
an analysis of the political situation,
under the heading Nobody for
Hughes but the People," with the
positive prediction that rightly or
wrongly, wisely or not, the will of the
people will prevail and Charles Evans
Hughes will be the next republican
candidate for the president Of the
United States" In the North American
Review to be published Monday, Coll
onel Harvey predicts the election of
Hughes as certain.
The Harvey Prediction.
Col. Harvey's forecast, in detail, is
as follows, it being remembered that
the electoral votes necessary to al
choice sum up 266:
We predict that Mr.. Hughes will
carry these states:
