POLITICS END ON
OCT. 6—CHAMLEE
Hardman Campaign Man
ager Sums Guberna
torial Situation i
ATLANTA, Ga., September 25—
“John Holder, lashed and whipped
by his frenzied political machine
leaders is on his last journey for po- ‘
litical honors,” according to Alex
S. Chamblee, Hardman’s campaiznj
manager, in a statement Saturday{‘
in sumarizing the gubernatorial
situation. |
“Hiss bosses are putting empty
words in his mouth,” Chamlee de
clared, “and are cracking the ma
chine’s whip over his head. But Hold
er has run his race, and never again
will be able to fool as many voters
as he did in the primary. {
“Georzia is soon to be turned
over to it rightful owners—the peo
ple. They who pay taxes from mea
gcr salaries and poor farm carnings
will at last have a say about John
Holder’s expenditure of millions of
road money. People are aroused as
they have not been before in many
years, but while they have slept the
cliques, the blocks, the bosses have
fattened and spent at will. But the
end is ncaring. October 6h will be
Georgia’s day of emancipation from
tHe tricksters who have lead this
state about wih, a ring \in is poliiteal
nose for lo hese years.”
Mr. Chamblee charged that “Hold
er’s bosses wouldn’t let him quit the’
race after the p_rin\atvy._ xevealed the
temper of the pedpie and gave Dr.
Hardman a majority of counties.
They not only would not consént to
let him get out; of the race graceful
ly, but recént-ly 'cvompclled him to
quit his dutics as 'a chairman of the
hizhway board, where he gets a big,
monthly salary to handle the tax
money for roads,” Chamblee contin
ued.
“The days of machine polities are
over. The brown wing of the Brown-
Holder combination has collapser
and Holder's wing is due for its end
on Octcber 6th,” Chamlee declared.
Basking around in Holder’s head
.quacters right mow is Fped Bridges,
the same idonti:pnl,Frcd who manipu
lated Brown’s imachine antil it
, (gé@&]d’@n, and then was fired. he
fio‘cfibt}‘trcachew of Brown, i the
Lgommiséigpcr said in the public
firfé‘z‘; ‘Now Bridges is frothing at
the bit for Holder and trying to save
the last ?:‘rt'-'iéce of wreckage of ma
chine that has brought this state
o shameless joverty as compared o
other states, and has caused other
gections to point an accusing ginger
at our waste and extravagance and
miserably poor state government.
“In order that complete justice
may be done, voters should not less
cn their interest in this race until
machine politics and ring rule artists
are overwhelmingly defeated. For
Georgia’s sake let us stand by the
switch until the Hardman train
goes safely by under full speed,”
Chamlee urged.
“Having been trained in that po--
litical school that knows only the uge
of the invective, bitter personalitics
and character assanination. Holder's
forces have resorted in a last des
perate attack to assailing the person
al life of Dr. Hardman. This is re
grettable,
