WILL CONSERVE HOT AIR
IN FUTURE LEGISLATION

Atlanta, July 12.-Georgia has been
conserving everything in the state
that can be saved, but the legislature
has found one thing that has been pro-
ideally wasted. Immediate steps to
remedy such waste have been taken,
and in the future members of the house
of representative must be economical
with hot air. On motion of Jones of
Coweta, the house has voted to lin
it all speeches to thirty minutes for
the remainder of the session.

SHOULD BE REELECTED.

Gidden Graphic: Two years often
bring big change in things politi-
cal. A good example of this Is the
governorship campaign in Iowa now.
that is. If enough interest exists to
constitute a campaign In 1915 The
Graphic believed Mr.. Harding should
be defeated because of the clique
that was supporting him. Now It
believes he should be elected be-
cause Of the element that opposes
him.
The best reason why GovernOr
Harding should be reelected next
month is that the disloyal element of
the state would secure great salts
faction from his defeat. The Graphic
confesses that it can see few other
reasons why he should be chosen.
but that one is enough. Claude Por-
ter, is just as loyal an American as
the present governor, and the demo
Gratis of Iowa are just as loyal as
the republicans. Porter would make
just as good a governor as Harding,
and the fact that he Is somewhat
less of camouflager is point in
his favor But conditions have 30
shaped themselves this year that the
reelection of Harding is necessary to
completely prove to the world that
Iowa is patriotic and loyal to the
core.
The Graphic has noticed some time
ago that the governor was being
opposed by certain pro-Germans. The
final straw that compels this paper
to make the above statements is the
announcement of j. M. Pierce that
he will oppose Harding and support
Porter. In 1916 Pierce was one of
Harding's principal supporters. This
paper has found that one can almost
always be right in politics by find
ing out what side of the road Pierce
is on and then taking the other side.
Mr.. Harding has made very good
war governor and as such has
aroused the ire of a good many pro-
Germans. His language order. which
Americans will agree was a wise one,
will lose him a great many votes.
His actions and expressions in other
ways toward winning the war will
lose him still others. Patriots should
make up this loss by voting for
Harding en- masse.
