Atlanta Georgian Congressman Brantley, of the eleventh district, has arrived at his home in Brnnswick and vrill remain until congress meets in December. 4'As to presidential candidates," said the congressman, "there isn't much new that I can say. At the present time it seems that Gov. Harmon, of Ohio, and Gov. Wilson, of New Jersey, are the two m03t prominent ones. I am disposed to think that as between these two a majority of the Democrats in Washington arc inclined to Harmon.
