CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR|
MADE GOOD IMPRESSION IN |
ADDRESS HERE TODAY. |
George Carswell, candidate for !
governor, hit hard at the bunking;
laws ol the state here today in an|
address before about a hundred:
voters. He was presented to tae au-l
dience by Dr. Tom McArthur, a na~l
tive of Wilkinson county from |
which Mr. Carswell comes. He wus’
fearless in his a.tack on ring mlc'
and the failure of the present bank
ing department regulations in Geur-’
gia to protect the depositor in Lank
ing failures, asserting that the de- |
positor stood sevent: in legal pro-‘
tection. He ecriticised the mcasurel
that makes it possible for the bank
ing department to become a political
machine ringing in auditors and lig
uidating agents given to the aid of
any one clique or faction.
Mr. Carswell made a fine im
prezsion in his devotion to education
for Georgians. He speni some time
telling not only of how ignorance
can contribute to debauched political
control, but impressed the idea chat
for lack of education Georgians are
sending out millions of their raw
produété 't_o ‘Qhio and Massachusetts
and eastern states where these lat
ter sections are enriched upon Geor
gia’s own resources that still might
belong to Georgians if they were
cducated and developed finished
Georgia products.
He also hit hard at those who in
¢ist that he was in any way respon
¢ible for the hurning of ballots in a
past political contest. He went from
here to Ashburn where he delivered
another address.

CHAMBLEE TAKES HOLDER TO’
TASK FOR SAYING HE IS OP-'
POSED TO BNDS.
ATLANTA, Ga., August 30——Al
statement was issued from Hardman |
headqguarters here Monday murningi
by Alex 8. Chamblee, campaign man- 1
ager, in which he stated that I!urd-;
man had made gains in every coun
ty in the state, due primarily to the
fact that the voters were aligned
cither for or against Holder, and
that Hardman had been selected as
the one candidate in the race to de
feat the machine, Mr. Chamlee said:
~%We have never made undue claim
in this race. We¢ do not expect to
today. We are sawing wood, work
ing hard and with an augmvnted‘
foree thiz week we plan to carry the
Tardman banner into every section
of Georgia. There is but one issue in |
this campaign, for there is no
platform, and that issue is \\'othorl
the tax payers of Georgia desire
to have in the governor’s chair a
man who has vision, forethought,
and who will give the state a busi
ness administration. Dr. Hardman is
the logical man. He is the friend of
the laboring class, particularly the
farmers, profesgional men and
business men.
“Dr. Hardman has been dubbed
by friends as well as supporters of
other candidates as “the i)est man
in the race.” There is no doubt of
this in my mind. Hardman is a man
who is experienced in legislative af
fairs, one who has done more for
Gieorgia than anv man I know of to
day. No bricks have been hurled at
him in the eampaign, for the simple
reason his record and character is
spotless, He is a man that has lofty
ideals, whose ambition is to adminis
ter the affairs of our state in an able
and business-like way, one who has
no political debts to pay and who
would make appointments as to
qualifications rather than political
affiliation. This i¢ the type of man
we need today to head our state gov
ernment.
“Holder says today he is against
bonds. Two years ago in a signed
statement he urged bonds, But he
now degires to issue in the form of
notes comething like a million dol
lars to pay for building the coastal
hichway from Savannah to the ]"lnri-‘
da line. This is nothing but a form of
Londs he has alrcady permitted the
counties to issue over 13 millions ini
paving bonds.. e favors bonds for“
the coastal highway now, yet in his‘
interviews and at Jefferson Suturdny!
afternoon ztated he was un('qui.'m--:
cally against bonds, His attitude i.~‘.‘
for bonds today and against Lh(:nni
tomorrow. Is that the kind of man
the taxpaycrs desire to become gov
ernor? |
