GEORGIA NEAR END
OF HOT CAMPAIGN
Opposed by President, Sena-
tor HardWick Holds Interest
of Wednesdays Election.

ATLANTA, Ca, September Sat
the end Of a hard-fought campaign
Georgia democrats will decide We'd
nesday at the party primary whether
Senator Thomas W. Hardwtck shall
be returned to the Senate in face of
the opposition Of President Wilson,
who has characterized him as "a con-
slant and active opponent" Of the adj
ministration.
Senator Hardwick has four OPP
ponents, William j. Harris, former
chairman of the Federal Trade Com
mission. who is supported by the
President; Representative William
Schley Howard Of the Atlanta dis
trict; John r. Cooper, a Macon law
yer, and former State Senator Shaw
Of Clay county. All have stumped the
state, and interest in the fight has
been at a white heat for several
weeks. The nomination is equivalent
to election.
Sought Presidents Views.
President Wilson made known his
attitude in letter to Clark Howell
of Atlanta, democratic national COM
mitteeman for Georgia, in response
to a letter of inquiry. from Mr..
Howell. The President pointed out
that he never would presume to die
tate to the voters of any state the
choice they should make, but that
when his views had been sought by
those who seemed to have a right to
seek them he had not hesitated to
make them known.
Senator Hardwick has been q con-
slant and active opponent of my ad-
ministration," wrote the President.
"Mr. William J. Harris has consistent
ly and actively supported it. In my
opinion the obvious thing for all
those to do who are jealous Of the
reputation Of the party and the sue
| cess of the government in the present
crisis is to combine in the support OF
Mr.. Harris"
After the letter was published FAR
ris' supporters urged Representative
Howard to withdraw from the race
and throw his strength to Mr.. Harris
but Howard refused to do SO. charg.
ing that publication of the letter had
been withheld until it was too late
for him to announce again his can
didacy for the House. This was de-
MED by Harris supporters.

Government NEAR
CRISIS IN HOUSING
Applications for Rooms Far
Exceed Daily Offerings
by Householders.

Unless thousands more vacant rooms
are made available in Washington
homes within a few weeks. indica-
lions are that the housing authori-
ties will face a crisis in providing
dwelling places for men and women
who arrive daily in large numbers to
do clerical work for the government.
Edwin s. Hege, manager Of the
room-registration Office, estimated to-
day that approximately $50 new en-
ployes, nearly all women, obtain
rooms from the registration Office
daily now, while not more than 100
new rooms a day are offered.
Cutting Down Surplus.
At this rate the surplus number of
rooms which the registration ONCE
was able to accumulate during the
summer will soon be used up unless
every housekeeper responds. to the
patriotic appeal now being made for
accommodations.
Through the cooperation of Mai.
Pullman's police, big posters have
been put up in every corner of the
city, appealing to the patriotism Of
householders to make room for war
workers.
II the estimate Of the government
departments that they will need $4,000
more workers between now and the
end of the year materializes, housing
agencies are likely to be swamped.
Dormitories to accommodate $500 un-
der construction on the Union Station
plaza, are not scheduled to be ready
for use until December l.

Merchants know, do majority of readers of this newspaper that advertising works for lower selling cost for commodities just improved manu- featuring methods work for lower producing cost.
 We could have moderate prices for commodities unless had highly efficient manufacturing process and expensive transportation systems. Machinery which costs good deal to install pays for itself and continues to yield dividends to all who its put. It costs money to build railroads, but it would cost immensely not to build them.
 After manufacturing and transportation prob lems have been solved however there remains the There is factor known selling cost which ters into the ultimate retail price of every article
 If the selling cost is unnecessarily high the retail price keeps pace with t-incudes it. And thus it becomes just vital problem to reduce seling-cost it has been to reduce manufacturing and transpor tation costs.
 A store, organized to carry on large distribution of goods may keep the selling cost at minimum only through doing the largest possible volume of busi This maximum volume, capacity turnover, is made possible only through adequate advertising. Advertising thus becomes the final economic factor in determining retail prices. If the advertising is not planned to match the sellng-task in hand, then all else that has been done to assure minimum sell ing price is more less nullied. Slow and contest ed final distribution would entail such seling-cos as would force high retail prices.
