1t was decided not to adopt a formal
platform but to pass resolutions clear
ly and emphatically expressing the APP
prevail of Georgia Democrats for the
administration of President Wilson and
Endorsing his denomination at st. Louis.
These resolutions were introduced by
Judge Charles l.. Bartlett, of Macon
and are published in another column of
today's Journal.
The convention adopted strong reso
buttons thanking President Wilson 70
appointing william ]. Harris, of Geor
gia, on the federal trade board. Thes
resolutions also paid high tribute &
Mr.. Harris for his service to his stat
and country.
Politicians are swarming around like
bees. and many candidates as well as
lprospectie candidates are here feeling
out the sentiment"
| Governor Harris is on hand; DR.. l.
G. Hardman, of Commerce, who is OPP
posing Governor Harris for reelection
| is here; A. o. Blalock, Of Fayetteville,
| a strong gubernatorial candidate pos
sibility. is also mixing around, as is
Thomas S. Fielder, former attorney gen.
eraI. who is said to be a prospective
candidate for governor.
One frequently hears the mention OF
the name of Joseph E. Pottle, of Mill
edgeville, as a man who would make
a strong race for governor, although Mr.
Pottle himself has had nothing what
ever to say on the subject.
Judge r. B. Russell. chief judge of
the court of appeals, who has resigned
that position to enter the face for con-
gress in the Ninth district against Con-
| gressman Thomas NJ. Bell, is here con-
lferring with friends.
