II Bayard is Elected it Will Indi-
cate Peoples Wish, Says
Candidate.

How he could help in the bringing
about the passage of a new city charter
with non-partisan features. if elected
mayor of Wilmington, was one of the
salient points in the speech of Thomas
r. Bayard. candidate for mayor on the

cratic City Committee last night.
Mr.. Bayard pointed out that If he
was elected mayor this would be suf-
hcient indication TO the members OF the
Legislature that the people of Whining
ton want new city charter. III he is
defeated, they could readily assume that
the citizens here did not want any
change in the city administration.
Miss Ellen Samworth made an en-
couraging report from the women of
the city. Organizations are proceeding
successfully with the municipal cam
paign. Miss Samworth told the COM
mittee that the sentiment of many
women which had been lukewarTn at the
beginning of the campaign was gaining
strength and turning strongly towards
Mr.. Bayard. They admire his courage
and willingness to inform the public
where he stands" Miss Samworth said.
Harry Smith, secretary of the City
Committee gave some interesting facts
concerning the attitude and lack of ac-
ton Of the Republicans. in the last two
years. He showed that the city was
still waiting for the insurance money
and surety bond money in connection
with the crematory contract and de-
strucuon, and the prominent role that
Colonel j. Austin Ellison, Republican
chairman, played in the matter was
brought out.
There will be two meetings tonight

SENATOR HARRIS
ANSWERS CRITICS
SAYS HE HAS NO INTENTION
OF PLAYING POLITICS WITH
PROPOSED NEW COURT.

Senator w. J.. Harris has made the
following statement regarding the
proposed new judicial circuit, induced
it is believed by the report that, if
created, Governor Dorsey might be
appointed to the judgeship:
Newspaper articles in several Geor-
gia papers have carried the intimatlOn
that have become interested in the
proposition to have an additional
judge of another district court for po-
litical consideration and reasons.
Il have not heard directly or midi
rectly from any lawyer about the pos
sible appointment of officials should
new district be created. That is a mat
ter for republican patronage with
which | shall have nothing to do.
Numerous Georgia lawyers and
business men have written me about
the congestion of business in the courts
due to no fault of the court officials,
but mainly on account of the develop
ment of our state and the enforcement
of the prohibition and narcotic laws.
| have tried to investigate the situa-
ton at their request, as | do every
matter presented me by. my constit-
uents. On my request the attorney
general is making an investigation
Nothing will be done unless he rec
ommends the legislation and his de
cision depends on the status and vol
ume Of business.
Il do not intend in the matter, nor
any other legislation, to be party to
the creation of any position unless
there is necessity and that clearly
demonstrated. There are three Unit
ed States district courts in Alabama
and there is more business in Georgia
according to recent reports.
'In this connection | wish to say
that the republican administration has
not and will not consult me about
these appointments and patronage in
Georgia. | am democrat, and expect
to remain one and do not propose
to be a party to re-organizing or
building up the republican party in
Georgia. President Harding naturally
wants to strengthen his party in Geor-
gia and while | do not agree with him
in such political matters our PERSONAL
relations are most cordial. | shall be
glad to cooperate with him and his
administration in all matters where
the public's interest is concerned, but
as a democrat l would not attempt to
distribute republican patronage in
Georgia if the republican administra-
ton were inclined to empower me to
do so.
Under the constitution the presi-
dent can appoint, with the advice and
consent of the senate. do not believe
President Harding will knowingly ap-
point unworthy persons to office, but
he cannot possibly give his personal
attention to the fitness of the several
thousand people he must appoint.
