Former Georgia Man
Praises Home State

ATLANTA, July IA. o. Pat
terson, former Georgia /, who mas
been making his home in Oklahoma
for some time, is back in his native
state and as usual is boosting every
thing and everybody that savors of
the soil of ''The Empire State of the
South"
Oklahoma is a great state, with
its oil wells and agricultural
wealth." declares Mr.. Patterson, "but
Georgia, smy native stateb is the
richest and most progressive state in
the South today. Of course, Atlanta,
always growing, shows many i'm
provements since I left the state,
but what have noticed particularly
is the growth of the smaller towns
and villages in other sections of the
state. The rural sections are all
making progress and the farmers,
those l have seen, are looking pros
porous and happy. The boil weevil
has played havoc in many sections,
but in spite of that Georgia will con-
tinue to hold its place as the second
largest cotton state in the union.

promoted to be chief executive.
Two years later Harding secured
the nomination for Governor and
that time was beaten by nearly 100,-
600 by Judson Harmon. Here at the
capital it was generally believed that
his political sun had set, but the
burying of Foraker under the Stand
ard Oil scandal opened the way for
him to come back into politics in the
Senatorship.
Gov. Cox has been far more ag-
pressive. At the beginning OF his
career in State politics he wholly
made over his party. Reactionary
leaders had generally been in con-
troll. The same year he was first a
candidate for Governor the State
chose delegates to a constitutional
convention and the Governor stump
ed the State in support of the propo-
sition to make the old document pro-
eressive.
He advocated the initiative and
referendum and the adjustment of
!arg. number of State offices and
the combination of duties held into
State commissions. Pending his in
auguration he sent commission to
Wisconsin to study the government
of that State, and it came to his
hand as Governor to put the new
provisions of the Constitution into
effect.
The unprogressive element of the
party turned against him and at the
end of his first term he was defeated
but he retained the control Of the
State organization of his party, was
able to force his nomination for
second term two years later, sccur-
ed election that time with a large
element of the Democrats still re-
fusing to support him, and two years
later re peated this, being three times
elected Governor, thing no Demo
crat ever did before, and but one
Observation-Disclosures B. Hayes.
In these eight years of fighting in
and about the Governors office Cox
has come to be regarded as a scrap
per of the first order, a determined
and uncompromising adversary Of
whatever he regarded as wrong.
Sneator Harding, on the other
hand, has impressed people here as
being inclined to compromise and
adjust differences and to avoid a
conflict if possible. His refusal to
substitute another for Harry M.
Daugherty as the manager of his
Presidential campaign, when asked
by very substantial element of his
party here to do so, was really the
first exhibition of determination in
political matters since he told Mark
Hanna in 1902 that he would not
take the nomination again for Lieu
tenant Governor.

The Mission Study class which was
organized last Monday afternoon at
Central Baptist church was well at
tended by a large number of interest
ed women, with the membership en-
rolled for the initial gathering a very
gratifying one. Miss Louise Herndon,
who has enjoyed wide experience in
this organization work, is in charge
of the class, and much benefit will
be derived from her exposition of the
readings. The number present was so
unexpectedly large that new supply
of books were ordered for the benefit
of those who will come into the circle
during the week and these books may
be had upon application to Miss Hern-
don. These studies proceed upon
the conviction that Gods plan of
grace contemplates the whole of hui
mainly and that the Bible IS, there

COX SCRAPPER,
HARDING IS NOT
How Public Records of
Two Leaders
Contrast

COLUMBUS. O., July ia com
parison of the public records of the
two Ohio candidates for the Presi-
dency is most interesting. Neither
during his service as a member of
the State Senate nor when he was
Lieutenant Governor did Warren G..
Harding live in Columbus. He main
tanned his home in Marion, coming
to Columbus only as occasion re-
quired.
AS a member of the State Senate
made up entirely of mediocre men he
failed to make any particular i'm
preston. He sponsored no important
legislation, nor did he distinguish
himself by opposing any measure.
His personality made him well liked
generally, and nothing but his fine
address and oft-remarked resembl-
snce in appearance and manner to
Mckinley suggested that he would
ever rise higher in public service.
The only time he asserted himself
politically was near the close of his
second term in the Senate, when he
became a candidate for the nomina-
ton of his party for Governor.
Mark Hanna, then running things
for the party, told him he had picked
Myron T. Herrick for the nomina-
ton. Harding publicly protested, but
finally gave in to Hanna and took
the nomination for Lieutenant Gov
ernor instead, and with Hanna and
Herrick campaigned the State under
the slogan Hanna, Herrick, Harding
and Harmony" But he refused to
stand for reelection to the subordi-
nate position and by so doing missed
the honor of being Governor, for
John M. Pattison, a Democrat, de-
feated Herrick.
Gen. A. L. Paris, who the Re
publicans nominated in Harding's
place for Lieutenant Governor, was
elected, and when Pattison died
