HOWARD ELIMINATED FROM
THE RACE ONE MORE TIME

The Rome Tribune-H erald has dis
covered that nearly all the editors in

their counties, which in the case of

father to the thought.
Well, they all agreed last year to
keep every one else out of the race
and to "put Bill over" but we are
thankful the people will have the
last "shot" in the matter of electing
a senator, and we do not believe they
will choose so weak sister as Bill
Harris.
Of course the Tribune-Herald's

The six other states of the South

fore yesterday also, and reported
$4,000 raised, just equalling the

Other. counties which have gone
over the top are Manatee, Marion,
