The Harmon Campaign.
A gentleman named Wheeler.
i, St. Louis lawyer, has been in
Atlanta feeling out the situation
n the interest of Gov. Harmon's
)residential canlilacy.

ry r1Wilso for president.
These incidents should not, dis
oUrage the Harmon m issionary:
)1. Wilson live( in Georgia and
iiariied there, he has friends
md relatives in all sections of
he state, and his career is such
,hat they have no reason to hes
tate in the advocacy of his non (
nation for president.
It is pretty safe to predict that
leorgia "'ill be for Wilson in
he convention of'1912; in fact, i
n oir opinion, Georgia is the'
afest state of all for Wilson. I
The Harmon candidacy is pro
eeding along intelligent and
roper lines: its management is
iten1sely practical. (

The New Congressional Apportionment E
Discussing the new apportion
ment of representation in the e
national House of Representa- r
tives, the Springfield Republican e
says: C
"As a result of the last census fi
and of this apportionment in i
accordance therewith, the south- r!
eastern part of the country and t(
the extrentp. western and south- is(
western parts gain in voting t(
power in the popular branch of i
congress and the rest of the
country relatively loses."
