DOCTOR HARDMAN CLAIMS WATSON WAS HIS FRIEND IN POLITICS
HARDMAN SAYS IF WATSON
LIVED TODAY, HE WOULD BE
HELPING EIM TO WIN.
ATLANTA, Ga., October 4—(/P)—
Issuing a signed statement this morn |
ing, Dr. L. G. Hardman stated that
he had always been a cloge friend of
the late Scnater Thomas E. Watson
and to show the {riendly feeling that‘l
(\Sisted between the two, he display-"
cd a copy of the Jeffersonian in |
which Watson said: ‘Dr. L. C. Hard
man’s platform is much better than |
that of Governor Nat Harris and
Hardman’s legislative record vouches
for the sincerity of the man. The
prohibition bill of Hardman and
Judge Covington was far away bet
{er than the jackass montrosity cook
ed up by Bosh Felder and carpet
hag Eichelberger. The Jeffersonian
has always, from a boy, stood for
temperance and against saloong. Dr.
Hardman favors reforms which will
assure better attendance upon
schools, and does not go to the radi
cal extreme of penalizing parents
who are too poor to pay for Brit
ain’s book—trust bhooks and the il
legal feel that bar the attendance
of g 0 many children.”
The above article was taken from
the files of the Jeffersoniah and
bears the date of July 13, 1916, when
- Dr. Hardman was candidate for 2ovV
%ernor. Dr. Hardman stated that if
} bhe was living today, Mr. Watson
i would be his ardent supporter,
l The Jelffersonian of Thursday, Sep
tember évehth, ninetcen sixteen, has
the following to say in paragraph
'twcm‘y hr)d one on page one:
'~ “Within the last few days the fol
lowing developments have been no
ticeable, Supporters of Hardman and
;P()Ltle aie being urged to unite on
‘Hurris. The plan is to consolidate
the field against Dorsey. I do not be
!lirvc that Doctor Hardman is himself
iu party to this scheme, 'The doctor,
;in my ‘opinion, is above any such dis
