G. M. Roberts
A Confederate Veteran,
for Comptroller General
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
I have been intimately ac
quainted with Mr. G. M. Roberts,
who is a candidate for the office
of Comptroller General of Geor
gia, for the past thirty years. He
is a good business man, having
been quite successful in various
enterprises to which he has giv
en his attention. He is public-
spirited and enterprising, but
has not heretofore sought pub
lic office, but has been ready at
all times to discharge the duties
that fall to a private citizen,
having been foreman of the
Grand Jury of his county several
times. Any statement made by
Mr. Roberts, touching business
or political matters, I feel sure
may be relied on implicitly.
Very respectfully,
PRICE EDWARDS,
Judge Superior Courts, Tal. Cir.

Whitfield county now has a fajr
chance to dodge the oratory of the
big boys. With Hoke Smith in Wash
ington, Joe Brown not claiming oratori
cal ability, Felder busy in other sec
tions, and Anderson, Hardman, Harris,
Slaton, Cooper, Hutchens and Hard
wick already put over local engage
ments, it looks as if the people'can rest
easy in the belief that the plaicid
waters of political peace will not be
interrupted again this year.
That “Political A.B.C.” pome writ
ten by Potshots and published last
week, has attracted considerable com
ment, which is given below for the ben
efit of Citizen readers for the purpose
of showing just how it was received:
“I’ve read many things; but that
was the worst I ever lamped.”
“Well, for one thing, it showed you
know the alphabet.”
“I enjoyed the last verse wonder
fully.”
‘ That cross-beam is still holding
forth on the Gordon street viaduct.”
“I have heard that Tibo Tib and his
gang are becoming restless.”
“It filled a vast amount of space.”
‘ ‘ It showed you have a wonderfully
patient linotype operator.”
‘ ‘ Well, you know politics, the ques
tion shown by the—er, whatever you
call it—is rotten, and the thing had to
be in keeping with the subject.”
All of which goes to show the public
yead it, if nothing more.
He Has Both Opponents Clearly Beaten

Judge John Ross, especially favored
with the gab gift, will be here Friday
morning at 11 o’clock to address the
voters in the interests of the candidacy
of ex-Governor Joseph M. Brown for

Judge Ross is said to be an orator
of decided ability, well fitted to enter

which wilt be held at the court house.
The following card is printed at the
request of the Bank of Dalton:
To the public:
For several days quite a great deal
has been said in reference to each bank
of the city having a candidate running
for county treasurer. We desire to say
that the Bank of Dalton has .no candi
date running for any office. We stand
just where we did a year ago in refer
ence to the county’s money. We be
lieve the funds of the county should be
placed with the bank in Whitfield coun
ty that pays the best rate of interest on
same. The United States requires the
banks to pay interest on her deposits.
The state of Georgia receives interest
on the funds left in the state deposito
ries, and we think the county should
have interest on her funds likewise.
We will only support the people’s
candidate for treasurer, or, in plain lan
guage, we will not suport any candidate
that promises the county’s money to
any bank without interest, but w r e will
give our whole support to the candidate
that will place' the county’s funds in
the bank paying the best rate for same.
We believe the county’s money is
worth something to the bank using it,
and that the county should derive the
benefit from it.
We favor taking the county’s money
out of politics.

Atlanta, Ga., August 12.
With but six days remaining of the
campaign, it looks like Dr. L. G. Hard
man, of Jackson county, has a decided
lead over his opponents in the race for
governor. The Hardman candidacy
seems to have met with a ground swell
of popular favor the past few days and
his supporters and unbiased observers
are predicting that he will carry enough
counties to insure his nomination on the
first ballot.
Hardman has been leading an up-hill
fight until two weeks ago. He has been
generally recognized as a good physi
cian, an excellent farmer, a sterling bus
iness man and a Christian gentleman
with a record unblemished. His oppo
nents will concede this. It is also gen
erally admitted that in his six years' of
legislative service he accomplished more
for the people in remedial legislation
than any living man has accomplished.
Four men out of five will tell you
“Hardman is the best man,in the race,
etc.” He has, however, been without
daily newspaper support, has been vig
orously opposed by the corporations, the
machine politicians, the railroads and
the whiskey interests. These interests
are afraid of his strong, vigorous, hon
est, independent and progressive per
sonality. They have been afraid they
could not control him, and in this they
had well grounded fears. But Hard
man broke by the politicians and daily
newspapers. He took his campaign to
the rural sections. He talked to the
farmers faee to face. He held up his
own record as a friend of the people
and pointed to the interests and cloudy
influence behind his* opponents. The
weekly press took up his fight, the doc
tors of the state got interested, the
farmers lined up and the Hardman
strength began to rise. It has been
rising now for two weeks and it looks
as if a Hardman land-slide is very prob
able. The opposition is in a state of
panic. The Harris strength seems to
have collapsed. Anderson has suc
ceeded Harris in many counties in the
effort to stem the Hardman tide.
The Hardman forces are jubilant.
They see certain victory. They are
confident that as the people continue to
learn of the character of support behind
the other two candidates and as atten
tion is directed to the fact that Dr.
Hardman is battling alone for the peo
ple and paying every dollar of his cam
paign expenses and asking no quarter
from corporations, politicians or whis
key interests, he will continue to draw
the farmers, business men and laboring
men to his support.
It is a fight between eity candidates
supported by special interests and a
country candidate relying entirely upon
the people. Dr. Hardman is confident
of victory—to use his own words: “If
my friends continue to stand by me,
and if they will look after our vote
on election day, the victory will be
ours. ’ ’
Hardman will be nominated on. the
first ballot.—Adv.

service to this department and whose
connection with the department will
continue as long as I am commissioner,
or until their present attitude toward
the laws for the protection of game and
fish have changed. In addition to these,
twenty-six (26) have resigned, for reas
ons sufficient to themselves, voluntarily
and without suggestion on my part.
Of the remainder, I have requested and
received the resignation of thirty-two
(32) former game wardens. They were
requested to resign because in my judg
ment the appointment of new wardens
would better the service. The other
changes, ten in number, have been re
movals for causes whieh I could very
easily explain, but which would not be
to the credit of the parties removed.
These numbers aggregate the entire 148
wardens.of this state.
Edmondson’s Appointment.
‘ ‘ The appointment of John L. Ed
mondson, as game warden for this coun
ty, was not -brought about by his con
nection with the railroad service, but
because of my knowldege of the faet
that he is a thorough sportsman and
fully in sympathy with the protection
of game and fish and with the nerve
and capability to earry out the work
of this department and for the reason
that he is my intimate personal friend
and a man whose statements can be re
lied on. It is true that when I took
charge of this office, I relied on his
intimate knowledge of the conditions
existing in north Georgia and asked his
opinion regarding the qualifications of
such persons as it might be necessary
to appoint in that section, in ease I •
should decide for myself that changes
should be desirable. I have not, how
ever, consulted him or anyone else re
garding your removal, but hav'e relied
entirely on my own judgment.
“Further than this I do not know
any of the officials of the L. & N. rail
road company, nor has my attention
been called to the ease you mention
having made against the L. & N. rail
road company because of their having
dumped 50,000 gallons of sulphuric acid
into Holly creek. I desire to know
why the facts in this case have not
been submitted to this department and,
if it was necessary to have the assist
ance of this department, why the mat
ter was not mentioned.
‘ ‘ Regarding your insinuation that
my handling of the removal and ap
pointment of wardens has been based
on political conditions, I wish to say
that in no case where I have made an
appointment have I inquired into the
political affiliations of the proposed ap
pointees, but I have ascertained after
ward that numbers of the new wardens
are not of the same political views as
myself, but this is not a matter which
concerns me, as I am only anxious to
secure for the offices of county wardens
men who will perform their duties sat
isfactorily.
