The state primary election will be
held next Wednesday, Sept. 8, the com
ing primary being one of genuine in
terest throughout the state.
Locally the primary is of big interest,
owing to the contest for judge, solicitor
general, congressmen and representative
to say nothing of the race for governor
and United States senator.
.1 udge M. C. Tarver is opposed in his
race for re-election by W. E. Mann, a
well known local attorney, and indica
tions point to a close race between the
two. The race for solicitor general has
three entries: J. M. Lang, who is a can
didate for re-election; Judge G. G. Glenn
and Col. S. J- Hale, prominent lawyers
of Dalton and Trenton, respectively.
This is another interesting contest.
For representative in the legislature,
I!. H. House, a well-known young at
torney of this city, is opposing Hon. N.
A. Bradford, Hie incumbent, who is a
candidate for re-elefttion.
Congressman Gordon Lee is opposed in
his race for re-election by Claude H.
Porter, of Rome, solicitor general of t o
Romo circuit.
The race for United States senator
is another warm contest, Senator Hoke
Smith being opposed by Governor Hugh
M. Dorsey, Thomas E. Watson and John
R. Cooper. No one has seriously con
sidered Cooper, who is not likely to pol
3 vote of any serious proportions.
For governor, Clifford Walker, Tlios.
IV. Hardwick, John N. Holder and Wal
ter Brown are the candidates, tlm latter
not being seriously considered in the
running.
Decided spiee has been injected in the
race for senator and governor, one in
tore-ting feature being the hot fight the
American Legion is making on Hard
wick and Watson, who are not con
sidered “loyal” candidates by the A-
tnorican Legion, which is made up of ex-
service men.
Here's the ticket that will be used in
this county:

Thomas W. Hardwick, candidate for
governor, brought his campaign into
Whitfield county yesterday, speaking at
the courth house to approximately 150
people. He was introduced by Col. F.
T. Hardwick, a prominent local banker
and kinsman of the candidate.
Mr. Hardwick discussed matters na
tional as well as local, declaring for
freedom of speech and of the press and
for local self-government. He insisted
that there had been so much legislation
and regulation that there was little
freedom left.
Relative to his opponents for the gov
ernorship, he dubbed them pussy-footers
and gum-shoers, handshake artists
whose sole claim to the governorship
was their ability to shake hands and
Who, if their hands were cut off by a
cross-cut saw, would be completely with
out any claim to the office.
He criticised Clifford Walker fior
his action on the inheritance tax, and
in this connection he hit Governor Dor
sey for the tobacco tax activities, claim
ing that neither was fit to hold office,
because, he said, they had been instru
mental in the corrupt appointment of
unneeded officers. He pledged himself,
if elected, to make a clean sweep of
the unnecessary office-holders.
He took up, one by one, the charges
made against him by the American
Legion, answering each in turn. He con
tended that the Legion’s attact on
him was totally unwarranted and unpro
voked, insisting that the organization
was being used as a catspaw by a cor
rupt and discredited politician, whom he
did not name.
I^e mentioned Thomas B. Watson,
who has also been attacked by the
American Legion, and added that he
was proud to stand alongside Mr. Wat
son in his great fight for freedom.
Mr. Hardwick began speaking at
11:20 o’clock and completed his speech
Roberts Contests
Election of Wood
And Asks Recount
W. L. Roberts, who, aceoruing to the
vote as announced by the Democratic
Executive committee the day following
the county primary here, was defeated
by Judge H. J. Wood for ordinary by
a plurality of 138 votes, in a communi
cation to the committee has requested a
recount or all legal votes polled in the
primary, alleging in his request that il
legal votes* were polled and asking that
the committee be called together to de
cide the matter.
Knowing it was a question to come
before the entire committee, Judge R. A.
Williams, chairman, has called the com
mittee to meet here next Saturday to
consider the request of Mr. Roberts.
His letter, addressed to Hon. R. A.
Williams, Chairman, Democratic Ex
ecutive-Committee, says:
‘ ‘ In the primary election 8-20, just
closed, I have no doubt but that many
illegal votes were cast, and I "want to
especially request you to call a meeting
of Democratic Executive Committee and
purge the ballot boxes of one or more
districts (Dalton in particular), of all
illegal votes and get a recount of all
legal votes for ordinary.
‘ ‘ I agree to furnish over forty counts
of illegal votes in said Dalton box as
reported to me- I also agree to defray
any expense that said committee places
on me for purging and recounting of
ballots.
“I farther insist that article in code
No. 132 has been violated; also I must
say that I believe I lost many votes in
two districts on account of close kins
men of my opponent holding election.
I feel that article No. 3 in book of rules
was not adhered to.
< It is reported that some double vot
ing was done; this alone should warrant
my request for purging the ballot boxes
for recount.
L If I have an illegal vote in box, I
want same thrown out, and I feel sure
my opponent feels as I do in this matter
“In making this request I refer to
book of rules and regulations of the
Democratic Executive Committee of the
State of Georgia, 1920.
“Most respectifully,
W. L. Roberts.”

BAND TO GIVE CONCEBTS
AT THE CONVICT CAMPS
Despite the unfavorable weather of
last Friday, a good crowd attended
the annual meeting of the Whitfield
County Sunday ’School convention held
at Salem church, officers for the as
sociation being elected as follows:
H. L. Smith, president; C. O. Smith,
secretary; Mrs. W. L. McWilliams,
superintendent children’s division; Mrs.
L. B. Hubbs, superintendent of young
people’s division; F. F. Farrar, superin
tendent of adult’s division; district
presidents: No. 1, W.- H. Westbrooks;
No. 2, W. E. Nants; No. 3, R. A. Wil
liams; No. 4, H. J. Smith; No. 5, P. G.
Po’tect. —
The meeting was opened with a song
followed by scripture reading and prayer
by Mr. H. J. Smith.
The Sunday school as an agency for
religious education” was discussed by
Revi J. H. Couch.
Mr. Z. N. Holler, state Sunday school
worker, talked on the subject: “Our
wants and their needs.”
The enrollment of the delegates by
schools showed many sections represent
ed
Miss Waddell, a well known state
worker, gave “The challenge to a great
task.”
After the morning session, a delicious
picnic lunch was enjoyed, the convention
meeting in the afternoon for the remain
der of the program and the business ses
sion.
The period of song and prayer was
conducted by Mr. W. E. Nants, after
which Mr, Holler talked on the sub
ject: “Thoroughly furnished for serv
ice. ”
The reports of the county and district
officers were an interesting feature,
showing the work accomplished during
the past year. These reports were mara
by the president, Mr..H. L. Smith; the
secretary, Mr. C. O. Smith; the child
ren’s division superintendent, Mrs. W.
L. McWilliams, and three of ihe five
division presidents: Messrs. W. H.
Westbrooks, W. E. Nants and H. J.
Smith.
The attendance tanner was awarded
to Cohutta for the larg st attendance,
and Cohutta was selected for next year’s
convention.
Miss Waddell’s subject was “Three
in one,” which was followed by short
talks on how to increase Sunday school
attendance by Miss Ma''v Lee Huff
and Mrs. T. C. MeBrvde.
The Citizen is in receipt of the follow
ing from the good, people of Buford,
which speaks for itself:
Buford, Georgia, August 21, 1920.
We, as representative ladies of Bu
ford, feel it our duty to vindicate the
good character of our lady proprietress
of the Merchants’ Hotel.
She has lived in our midst sixteen
years, deported herself always as a
perfect lady, and is a member of one
of the oldest and best of Georgia fami
lies.
Our little progressive town bothers
no one, nor cares to be disturbed by
bolsheviks but when one enters our
doors uninvited, we at least demand
the same courtesy always extended to
the stranger within our gates. But
when a viper enters unawares, he should
not be allowed to sting and escape un
punished Therefore,We rise to remon
strate. Tom Watson and his colleague
entered Buford Wednesday afternoon,
went to the only public house in the
town, demanded his name be taken off
the register (Why was it there?), sup
per served in his room and perfect se
clusion and quiet. Now who can de
mand in a public house everything and
require everybody to cater to the whims
of an old, wild drunken man—as he
proved to be ?
Rightfully, he should have been re-
fused entrance in a civilized, refined
home,'and sent on his way. He was not
invited here, not wanfed—but treated
as a gentleman until he proved himself
otherwise.
This statement can be validated by
reputable citizens of Atlanta, Buford,
Tiomorest, Gainesville, Toceoa and other
places.
Now', by his own statement, Watson
acknowledged he was u»der the influ
ence of an intoxicant, and knew not
what he was doing. After throwing a
book at unsuspecting guests sitting in
the lobby, talking, reading and play
ing cards, he cursed them most venom
ously, went back to his room and return
ed with the water pitcher and with the
vilest oaths threatened to smash their
heads, a’l this time standing above the
lobby full of guests—in his night
clothes. One of the guest called Miss
Wildy to have him quieted. She, ac-

Atlanta.—Nothing since the campaign
of the Georgia Department of the
American Legion against Thomas L.
Watson and T. W. Hardwick began has
caused sudh a sensation as the reve
lation of Mr. Hardwick’s Spanish-Amer
ican “war record,” by Chairman Tram
mell Scott in an open letter addressed
to the repudiated U. S. senator Satur
day and published in numerous state
apers Sunday.
Members of the committee were elat-
d Sunday over the effect of the expose
of Mr. Hardwick’s “volunteer patriot-
sm.” The letter was the subject of
universal comment and it was agreed,
even by non-partisans, that Mr. Hard
wick would have a difficult time ex
plaining why he did not serve in the
Spanish-Ameriean war as a private af
ter he admitted lie was not fitted to be
u officer.
•We were wondering,” said Mr.
Scott, “why Mr. Hardwick was so si
lent on his Spanish war record, but af
ter we began to look into the matter,
’it was not so difficult to see. No won
der he has just mentioned the fact
that he ‘volunteered,’ and let it rest at
that. Yes, he ‘volunteered’—to be one
of the ‘despised officers’ be now attacks.
And Show did he volunteer? By pull-
"ing pojitical wires. He wanted to be a
lieutenant and was told to go out and
get forty volunteers for the Third Geor
gia infantry. He rounded up about
•ight men and was told to report to
-amp at Griffin/ There he hung around
for a few days without being mustered
l. taking the oath, or putting on a
uniform, and finally decided that he
was not fitted to lead men in battle
rold his colonel so and asked to be ex
cused.
-And there his patriotism appears to
have come to an abrupt stop. Volun
teers had been called for but his idea
of volunteering was that of volunteer
ing to be an officer. Isn’t it rather

companied by Winfield Row ®> strange that he was not willing to stay
chant of our town, went up and tried to t - “ JU sw
quiet h:<m and get him back to his
room. He cursed her with the vilest
oaths and threatened them all with
the pitcher smashed over their heads.
Miss Wiley then called for the town 1
marshal. Watson’s colleague ran and
brought a pistol to resist arrest. After
a time Watson was- carried to the cala
boose.
Next morning he denied doing any
of it.
These facts can be substantiated by
people from Gainesville, Toccoa, Demor-
est, Atlanta, Greenville, S. C., Bristol,
Tenn., and Buford.
’ We would like to add: “The mills
of the gods grind slowly but they grind
exceedingly fftie, ’ ’ and the time for
women to assert their privileges and
right their wrongs draws near, and at
the polls we will state whether our
country shall be represented by gentle
men or otherwise.
Miss Wliey’s character stands above
suspicion, above reproach, and we, as
southern women, wish to stand by her,
and repudiate all statements to the con
trary.
It seems Mr. Hardwick in his speech
a few days ago in Gainesville asked the
people not to believe any reports they
might receive from the Buford affair
but to know it. was all false and a
frame-up. ’We will state for his benefit,
one of the best citizens of- Gainesville
was here when it ocured and will vouch
for the truth of the above statements.
It was not a political frame-up as, was
stated but cold facts.
A traducer of. a southern woman’s
character in her own -house is beyond
the patience of the women of Buford.
‘ ‘ ’Tis the hand that rocks the cradle
rule^ the world” perhaps they may
discover later on.
. The names of several men of authority
from other cities can be furnished and
written to for the truth of -this state^
ment.
If the authenticity of this simple lit
tle document is denied, the veracity
doubted, write to any or all of the par
ties whose names are signed and find out
whether or not true facts have been
stated. In fact, the wanton profanity
has been ^jth-held. Too vile and black
to put imprint. 1

in the regiment as an enlisted man af
ter he had admitted to himself and to
his colonel, that he was hot officer ma
terial? He showed the same sort of
•patriotism’ for his country then that,
he showed in 1917-18 and that he is
now showing. He ran and is running
true to form—his 189S form. By the
ape token that he was unfit to be an
officer, unwilling to enlist as a private
—be is unfitted to be governor of Geor
gia.” f
Mr. Scott asserted that the commit
tee was entirely satisfied with the cam
paign against 'both Watson and Hard-
rvick and stated that reports reaching
headquarters indicated their complete
repudiation at'the polls September 8th.
£\t the same time he called attention
■to the public mass meeting that is be
ing planned at the auditorium for Fri
•lay night at which speakers, to be an
nounced later, will give the records of
: hose two men.
