CORDELE, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1926
HARDMAN STRONGLY REFUTES
~ ANY PROMISE TO HOLDER
COMMERCE MAN MAKES AP
PEAL FOR SUPPORT OF
VOTERS ON PROMISE OF
CLEAN GOVERNMENT.
ATLANTA, Ga., September 7--
Expreszsing his iivm belief in clee
tion as governor in Wednesday's
balloting and calling upon Georgia
voters “to refuse to he deceived and
mislead by ecleventh hour at
tempts to befuddle the issues and
injeet mud in a race which has been
conducted upon the highest possik!»
plane,” Dr. L. G. Hardman issued
his final campaion statement Morn
day night.
“Whether Georzia will chose to
continue its machine polities,” he
said, “will be determined Wednes
day. Personally, I am convinced tnat
the ‘ring rule’ is broken and that
will throw off the yoke of political
Londage Wednesday and start =
regime of conservatism and pure
government which will bring back to
Georgia its rightful heritage of lead
ership in the south.” |
Characterizing reports that he hadl
rremised to re-aproint John N.l
Holder chairman of the highway |
oovard if elected governor, as a "\'l-[
cious and disreputable attempt tnl
cloud the issues of this race he s'tid.l
The very faet that such charges ave
being circulated on the eve of elec
tion and were not brought out be:
fore, should convince all fairminded
voters of the falseness of it,”” he
said. %
“Failing in every instance toi
find one thing against me or my |
record that would draw away chag
from me,” Dr. Ilardman said, “the’
opposition has concocted a deliberate i
falsehood at the last minute, \\'!mnf
I am unable to go before the pm-!
ple and deny it. It is a scurril--usl
and insidious eanard and instead cf |
'gotting votes for Holder it will sum- ;
mon to my defenze hundreds . of |
voters, to:doi gl;ot ii[fpt()?e of anfaik
and cheap politics.” Dr. Hardizan
pointed to. hig past record and cc
clared he had *never been identifiod |
with any move but what had for ir.::;
purpose the betterment of m:mi;lm]i
and the upliftice and impr()vemunL:
of his native state. |
“I have ever been an exponent of‘!
sound government and practical l,usi-!
ness principles in every business ur-!
dertaking, The affairs of Gcm'y}inl
furnish a test for the best and
soundest business principles, becnusc!
machine politicians and tricksters |
have wasted tax money and turncl
this state over to debauchery and
rain. It is high time,” Dr. Hardman |
continued, that the better class 01‘3
people take the reins of govcrnm(-nti
and, at least, turn the ship of r:t.u;(u
into a normal course and in ijoi
ride out of the political storm which
has harassed and torn the state \'.iU'n‘
