OPPOSE
HARRIS TAKING SEAT?
REPORTED THAT THEY WILL
MAKE FIGHT ON THE NEWLY
ELECTED SENATOR.

Georgia daily papers under an At
lanta date line, print a very inter
esting story to the effect that ere
publicans in the senate are planning
to oppose the seating of William j.
Harris, recently elected as junior
senator from Georgia, on the ground
that he expended more than the law
allows in his campaign for the dem
ocratic nomination last summer.
at seems that certain democrats
made objection to the credentials of
certain recently elected republicans
on this same ground, devoting par
ticular attention to republican eX-
penditures in Michigan, and the re-
publicans retaliated by laying their
plans to oppose the seating of Mr.
Harris.
when Senator Smith recently
presented the credentials of Mr.. Har
ris to the senate, it is understood
that three republican senators OBJ
iected to their acceptance and had
them referred to the credentials COM
mittee. This was the first step in the
rumored plan of opposing his induc-
ton into the senate.
Would Seat Williams.
at is further rumored that Con-
gresham Fess, chairman of the re-
publican national campaign commit
tee. is now engaged in securing list
of the business managers of the news
papers of Georgia, presumably with
the intention of summoning them be-
fore the credentials committee of the
senate for the purpose of asking
them how much Mr.. Harris, or his
campaign committee, paid for adver-
Using in their columns in the famous
fight last summer
"Should the senate through repub-
lican influence refuse to accept the
credentials of Mr.. Harris, on the
ground that he had expended more
than the law allows to procure his
nomination, then it is understood that
the next step would be to seat G. H.
Williams, the Dublin man, who ran
against Mr. Harris in the general
state election"

This sort Of thing is OF course ridic-

because there are too many sim pie

No person whose ear was not dead

incorrect singing. Unfortunately on

she is right. Nothing can convince a

How long should a singer sing?
That depends on many conditions, but
there have been some instructive
cases. Grisi sang for thirty years.
She was blessed with robust health
and she knew how TO produce tones.
Not every soprano can hope for such
