GEORGIA SAVED
The old State of Georgia is »
safe, The citizenship of the state
makes it safe under all circum
stances.—Adel News, '
Of course, the state is saved, but
it ign't being saved in just the man

the first primary were known. Lots
of folks think, though, that it is be
ing saved in the best possible man.

but it has been widely conceded that
it needs liberation Irom the type of
politician who will trade public of
fice for political support,
What Georgia has suffered for
many years in that kind of public
gervice isn't yet known to the gen
eral public. What our highway de
partment has contributed in support
of John Holder for governor in the
past four years, no man can tell.
John Holder thinks that is all right,
He has englneered cheap politics so

to an honest, conscientious admin.
istration of its public offices. The
cheap politician will smile when he!
reads this, He considers it more u:’
less idealistic--not a possible thing.
But honest accounting in public of
fice of the services which belong to
the public is not only possible, but
it ought to be demanded at cvery
turn, and the m.m« who fails to de
liver ought to have to pay for his
folly. He does: pay, first and last.
Holder and Brown are paving now.
They might have gone on to what
they asked for if they had ditched
every offer of chicanery and cheap
politics at a time when that might
have been possible, They had it
within their hands., We mean to say
that John Ifolder and J. J, Brown.
at least for the past four years, have
done exactly whut they wished to
do, both with their offices and those
they controlled. They have been able
to control the sessions of the legis.

The Macon Telegraph:
Mr. ifclder says the issue in the
campaign is bonds, Let us grant, for
the sake of argument, that there
could b» any other issue in a cam
paign in which Mr. Holder sought of
fice thal decency and honesty in gov
“ernment. Let us grant for instance,
that the issue in this campaign is
bonds.
Mr. Halder was an original propon
ent of Londs, in, ‘tfiis state. As chair
man of the Highway Board, he as.
sumed @ position of leadership
among ' advoeates of bonds, On
the roof of Ansley) Hotel, he told
the me nters of the Georgia Auto--
mobile Ausceiation, C“Without the
proposed $75,000,0000 good roads
hond is:ue, highway development in
Georgia necessarily will come to a
halt."
Why hae he switched? The answer
is obvio 1< I'urther along in the same
speech he declaved:
“If ono politician opposed the is
sue and an opponent fights for it,
resultine in a red-hot political cam
paign ,the bond issue will fall. It is
a l)usix}qss“«‘(luga‘tloual and economie
issue and not a political one.”
“In other words, Mr. Holder advo
catéd rokgibends, but he knew that
if l}onds: became a political issue,
the man who advocated tham would
fail, acccrding to his wor(i. e is
‘attempting in this run-off primary
to maka them the issue, in the hope
that by opposing bonds now, he will
win It is a move of desperation.
| The onlv trouble with it is that Dr.
Hardmaa expressed his opposition to
bonds before Mr. Holder did and has
not switched zack and forth—has not
worn ouw his trousers trying to sit on
