WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept 10
Official washington is prepared to
give Senator" william j. Harris a
big welcome when he returns to this
city. When the new senator left here
in the spring to make his campaign
over the state of Georgia, there was
little doubt that when he came back
to Washington he would come as
Senator" Harris. This will soon be
true, to the joy of those who really
wanted to see him in this official role
ard in addition, much desired to see
the last of Tom Billy Hardwick.
Since the election in Georgia, not
a man has been seen here but who
SAYS he is heartily glad this is the
last of the Tom Tit statesman. He
got into Senator Bacon's shoes when
the latter died, but the wearing Of a
full mans footwear by a person OF
Hardwick's size could not be made

every sense of the word, and it was a

There is no grief here-no regret

Hardwick's going. The few months
remaining until March at which
time he will say farewell to Wash

ting his house in order" for private
life. There is no chance for come
back" in his case. Sometimes a man
and it has often been tried from

blunders and recoup himself but as
seen here there is nothing of this sort
