SUNDAY, AUGUST 9.
MR. HARDWICK’S QUALIFICATIONS.
Now that the campaign for the Junior Senator is about
to draw to a close, we wish to admonish our friends all
over the Tenth District to marshal their forces solidly for
Mr. Hardwick. As usual in his races, he is being attack
ed both front and rear by every weapon that devilish sun
ning can devise and direct; and it can be truly said that
he bears more scars from democracy’s battles, fought and
won, than any Georgian living. Every day of his private
life, every page of his public record, has been winnowed
and sifted for some “dammed spot” that would condemn
him in the eyes of his constituents. His opponents have
examined his campaign speeches and his record in Con
gress, and have rent their hair v and wrung their hands
but can only find that he is opposed to the Tax Equiliza.
lion law in its present form ; but they fail to tell you of
his statesman-like attitude that demands that this law
should be so amended as to reach every class of taxable
property in the state of Georgia and tha't every citizen
should bear his proportionate part of the burden.
They are also industriously circulating a report that he
is opposed to the present Parcel post. This is as false
in its essence as it is malicious in purpose. His position
on this subject has been clearly stated, over and over
again, in* bis public addresses, and those who make the
charges have been repeatedly urged to be present and
present the evidence in person. But they dare not meet
him in debate, preferring to be placed in the category of
those who “are willing to wound, but afraid to strike.”
“ ’Tis conscience makes cowards of us all.”
Again they charge tnat he was opposed to the present
currency law---an administration measure. In short, that
he was guilty of “Lese Majestie.” Wouldn’t it be a
miracle, indeed, if all members of Congress could spon
taneously agree upon every detail of so great a measure?
If that were usual it would be better to have a one-man
government. But Congress is elected by the people to
sit together and consult with each other, recognizing that
“in a multitude of counsel there is wisdom.” Hardwick
objected to certain phrases of the law, which in the minds
of wise men are still mooted. He presents his objections in
a manly and masterly way; but when he found hinrSelf in
a minority, he surrendered his personal views for the sake
of party harmony, like a tiue democrat.
So it would seem that we have proven by his enemies
that he is a man of initiative, independence, and party
loyalty that does not have to run home and consult any
little coterie of politicians every time he casts a vote.
And these are the things that have endeared him to his con
stituents, and the things that have caused Woodrow Wil
son, that unerring judge of men, to place the seal of his
endorsement upon his character and ability.
It is further charged that he is neglecting his duties at
Washington to conduct a campaign of personal aggran
disement. This i 3 another vain attempt to make a moun
tain of a mole hill. This custom has been followed ever
sin e the republic was launched, and no self-exploiting
M.ississippian can change it. Besides it is well known
that the lower house has done its work and done it well,
and Mr. Hardwick is absent by the advice and consent of
the President and leaders in Congress.
But worst of all, some miserable slanderer has charged
that he is the “tool of the express companies,” “the hire
ling of the sugar trust.” If we absolutely knew there
was but one unpurchasable man in the halls of Congress,
our mind would involuntarily rdVelt to Hardwick. Any man
who originates a charge so vile ought to lie made to
prove it in open court, or forever hide his head from the
destestation of mankind.
Men of the “Bloody Tenth,” your gallant leader is
bearing your banner is an unequal combat, beset by foes
from within and from foes without the ranks of his party his
breast bared to every blow that money can buy, or that
malice can inspire. It is said that in the memorable
battles of Napoleon that he relied chiefly upon the Tenth
Legion, the Home Guard from his native isle. In this
battle of the ballots your own Little Corporal puts his
trust in the Tenth District---The Home Guard that he has
so ably and unselfishly served. Has he represented you
well, or has he betrayed your interest? You will answer
that question on the 19th of August. T. J. COOPER,

GOOD ADVERTISING
deans More Business-More Dollars
Mr Small Merchantman, have you ever felt the wonderful power
of GOOD advertising? Many is the man who has been searching in
the dark for this wonderful magnet which pulls new business to one's
store and office.
Many is the man who has fooled himself with an argument some
thing in this fashion—"l’m only a small merchant—l cant afford
GOOD advertising because good things cost money but then I MUST
keep my name before the peopIe—SOMEHOW.” And with no more
definite Idea than this he begins to buy various kinds of ''Jimcracks”
with his name printed on them. He receives every solicitor whp hap
pens along soliciting "ads” for thi s or that “special” occasion. With
out any system or plan he spends (or should we say donates) $5 here
and $lO there and $25 another place, until in the entire year he has
expended a right tidy sum.
And hae he kept his name before "the people?*' A few—very saw
—AT LEAST the ones to whom he paid h's money.
MR. MERCHANT, WHY NOT APPLY THE FORCE OF GOOD
ADVERTISING AT THIS SEASON WHEN YOU NEED BUSINESS?
Have a system. Have a plan. Use GOOD advertising—Herald ad
vertising The kind of advertising which reaches every man's home
and every man's office In this city.
It is CONTINUOUS advertising in The Herald that brings the
largest returns.
Even If It’s only a small Heral d want ad, you can employ Its won
derful selling force—Tor this is GOOD advertising BECAUSE The
Herald carries your message INTO many homes.
And did you know that a little 4-line want ad will cost vou only
25 cents a day, only SI.OO for a week? It's a fact. Ask about It
