ELIMINATED AS EXPONENT OF
PATRIOTIC ADMINISTRATION
SUPPORTER.

SUPPORTER.
ATLANTA, August 24-Dr. l.. S,
Ledbetter, campaign manager for
VIM. ]. Harris, candidate for United
States senator, today gave out the
following statement with reference
to the progress of the campaign.
1.-THE situation from our viewpoint
is growing more satisfactory from
day to day and from week to week.
The statement which l made last
week to the effect that the people of
Georgia are settling upon Mr.. Harris
as the loyal candidate to defeat SEN
ator Hardwick, is being borne out
more and more in the hundreds OF
letters We are receiving from all
parts of the state These letters show
that voters who had been undecided,
have now in the Light of develop
ments, made up their minds to sup
port Mr. Harris and through him the
administration of President Wilson.
Congressman Howard is practical
" out of the race, His methods,
which are those of the clown and
montebank, have helped toward his
elimination. His false statements,
disproven on every side, have acted
as a boomerang against him. He may
easily be dismissed.
The real fight in Georgia, as we
have before pointed out. is between
10, atty on the one side as represented
in The person of Mr.. Harris, and the
absence of loyalty as represented in
the candidacy of Senator Hardwick.
Mr. Hardwicks claim of loyalty is
repudiated by hts own record. The
people OF Gcr eia have made up their
minds that no matter what happens
the de- eat u ,;a,!Nl ck. whose atti,
tide has Leon to e, courage the / EAST
o; Eerltu who >. aiming for would
Tor in IL raus: te accomplished
Realizing this situation, the loyal
people of Georgia are not going to
let division in their ranks make pos
sible the election of the candidate
whose record is distasteful to the adj
ministration and which has stood in
the way of the. successful prosecu-
ton of the war.
With a strength thhroughout the
state which spells victory, Mr. Har-
ris' campaign is growing in force and
yigor every day. He spoke Thursday
at Cordele to the largest crowd as
sembled in Crisp county for a poIiti-
cal meeting in the past several years.
He spoke Friday in Vienna and Una
d,la to large and appreciatiye audi
ences and was similarly well received
in IIawkinsyille on Saturday.
Everywhere Mr.. Harris goes the
people are fiocking to him as the
representative of loyalty and service
and the candidate in whom there is
The greatest hope for the well-being
and SAFETY of our soldier boys across
the water We are confident of the
victory which will be ours when the
ballots 3Te counted on September Il.
",,nficidive of the way the situation
looks now is the following telegram
from Moultrie, like many We are re
ceiyipg from other sections of the
state This telegram, dated August

ing the defeat Of his German antag-
onlst by a French plane just before he
drew his last breath.
The struggle, according to a report
reaching here occurred recently just
behind the allied lines in France. and
was witnessed by Ransom Clifford,
eighteen-year-oId son of Col. Adam
Clifford, head Of the Salvation Army for
New England, and residing in Boston.
Young Clifford was hauling supplies to

Iy three big planes circled Immediately
over his head and opened up a terrific
fight.
In a short time one plane shot down
ward In flames and crashed to earth
less than 100 feet from Chords truck.
The young Salvationist ran to the
wreckage, and after desperate efforts
extricated the broken and bleeding avn
ator, who was still alive. Two French
soldiers, who had been concealed near

the aviator, raced off in different d.
rections for a doctor and ambulance.
Young Clifford held the dying airman in

heads. The French plane put the Ger
man to rout. w~hereupon the English
fighter with q smile relaxed and ex-

Clifford states that for a month he

him out OF town. Men do respond so
unnecessarily to the feminine lure
My refined, irreproachable brother-in-

"Janes don't you think It would be
a good plan for me to see this Mary

come TO some understanding with her
on my w account?"
Jimmy, you're bound to be awful
lucky in war. you know" I replied
sweetly. .'and your luck begins right

suit out in a few days. The secre-

With Governor Edges victory so
sweeping, the hurrying of these re-

Assemblyman Simpson came here yes
terday to see the secretary of state
about the ballots, but Mr.. Martin did
not come here yesterday and simpson
went away much disappointed. Later
in the day Thomas Brown and County
Chairman Haggerty of Middlesex,
where Brown is ahead of Arthur
Quinn for the Democratic senatorial
nomination by fou votes. called at
the Office of the secretary of state to
see what was being made. in
asmuch as the Mfddlesex soldier vote
will play an important part In the
Brown-Quinn battle there.
The law does not require any spe-
ciac time or day for the delivery OF
the soldier votes to the county and 1t
now depends upon them as to when
these votes are counted. But the act
says they must be canvassed within
thirty days.
The result of the Democratic sena-
torial primary would not have re-
manned so long in doubt. so far as the
civilian vote was concerned, If there
had been a little more speed n eff
cheney manifested by some of tho
county clerks of the state. Thursday,

of the state. being advised that many
districts had not yet reported and
that what returns were In had not
been totaled. Returns of the primary
election do not reach the secretary of
states office for several days, ordi-
narily. after the vote has been taken,
and 1t is only through efficient meth
DDS in county clerks offices through
out the state that the citizens may be
apprised of results in a close fight.

As has often been pointed out. the
fire waste in the United States and
Canada is extravagant. But Canada
10Y proposes to reduce the damage
by the adoption Of compulsory fire pre-
vention measures In accordance with
the recommendations Of the commits
sion Of conservation. says Providence
Journal.
Excluding forest fires. the commits
sion finds that since confederation
the loss has been $T00.0O0.000. while
every year 200 lives are sacrificed In
fires. and 800 persons are seriously In
jured. Canada's per capita IRE loss
is the largest In the world@t27B-
and that OF the United States-$2.20
lis second. England's figures are
small-64 cents--but large In COMPARE
son with the 18 cents reported In
Switzerland. France has a per capita
loss OF "a cents. Conditions In these
several countries do not seem TO jus
tify such an extraordinary difference
In the fire records. Probably the ex-
PLANTATION Of the poor showing on this
side Of the ocean lies In the better
enforcement Of safety regulations In
Europe, and In holding property own
ers accountable for the damages
caused by fires starting on their
