MACON TELEGRAPH
EDITOR STRONGLY
ENDORSES HARRIS
Bibb County.
BY HON. w. t. ANDERSON
Editor Macon Telegraph

Editor Macon Telegraph
Your telegram asking as to who
in our opinion is the most logical can
didate to oppose Senator Hardwick.
We had an editorial on this subject
short while ago in which we sum-
married. the senatorial situation, ac-
cording to our ideas. 1t was our judg
ment at that time, and it is still so,
that w. J. Harris, of the Federal
Trade commission, has the advantage
in the senatorial race. We think Can
dler would only muddy the water for
Harris in the event he We're to run,
and would make Hardwick's election
quite certain. The people of the state
will not be foolish enough to have
both United States senator's from At
lanta.
Your question as to who at present
has most strength In Bibb county
among Upshaw, Cooper, Shaw, Har-
ris, Gambler and Hardwick.
1t is very dificultt to answer this
question in an intelligent way. We
think the decision would be between
Hardwick and Harris. We are hope
full, however, that Hardwick is In a
severe minority. We know of practi-
cally no one in this county who is
supporting Hardwick

Crisp Comfy.

William j. Harris is the most log
icai man to oppose Hardwick of those
announced. He has at present most
strength in Crisp county. Hardwick
would not POLL fifty votes. so long as
t'.ere is good man opposing. Gambler
would win creditable vote on account
OF his assistance in the creation OF
this county some years ago.

Hardwick will easily carry this

the only three candidates consider

Murphy Ganuler IS Cno logical GduuI-
date in this section. Hardwick's g
strength is the following of Tom Wat
son and the anti-administration and
is obstinate though quiet. To beat
him the fight must be made In the
country, and it is necessary to beat
him on the stump with an able, fear
less speaker. Gambler is that man.
