Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 23.-Politicians
have all left the city following the
meeting of the new Democratic ex-
ecutive committee here Saturday,
some of them remaining over Sun
day and plans are going fordward for
the meeting of the State Democratic
convention next Saturday at Macon.
SO far as known, the coming con-
vention will be very tame affair,
and the speechl aking will be limited.
Hon. Clifford Walker, newly elected
governor, delivered his acceptance
speech at the gathering of the Walk
er delegates on October 4th, hence
he now takes the role of a spectator
and listener as the official results of
the gubernatorial and senatorial pri-
maries are declared. The governor
elect has not prepared "a second
speech, he told his friends.
Judge Walter F. George, of Wen
ma, who was nominated in the sena-
torial primary since the gathering
of the Walker delegates at Macon,
will be the chief speaker at the con-
vention Saturday. He will deliver his
speech of acceptance, bringing out
the principles of the platform on
which he was elected and will con-
duct the duties of his office. The
senior senator from Georgia, Hon.
VIM. J. Harris, will attend the con-
vention and occupy seat On the
stage with his junior colleague.
Senator Harris is now a familiar
figure in the hotel lobbies of Atlanta,
having come to Georgia upon the
adjournment of congress and will re-
main until the national lawmaking
body reassembles early in December.
Since his arrival, the junior senator
has been literally besieged with invi-
tations to make speeches and if he
accepts all of the invitations he will
be heard in many sections of the state
during the next few weeks. Undoubt-
edly, Senator Harris is popular and
his popularity has been growing ever
since he has been in office. Unpre-
judicc dpoiticians declare that the po-
litical strength of the junior senator
is well nigh impregnable, as he has
"stayed on the job" and in other
ways met the wishes of his consti-
tuents to such an extent, that poss.-
BILE opposition in 1924 to get any
where must be a towering personal
ity that has not yet appeared on the
political horizon.
The senior senator, as stated IN
news dispatches, was given an ovation
at the Democratic executive commit
tee meeting here Saturday. The
ovation followed the passage of a
resolution indorsing Senator Harris.
The resolution reads:
Resolved, that the Georgia Dem
ocratic executive committee most
heartily indorses the services of
senior Unsted States Senator Will
liam j. Harris; that we express con-
fidence in him as man and as
public official"
Considerable interest attaches to
the perSOnnel OF tne Speclal commit
tee which will promulgate new rules
for the government of Democratic af-
fairs during 1928 and 1924. The COM
mittee is as follows:
William Butt, Blue Ridge, chair
man; Fermor Barrett, Toccoa; B. F.
Walker, Gibson; Mrs. Bette r. Cobb,
Carrollton, and H. H. Elders, Reids-
vile.
