Thursday, July 2, 1914.
LET’S GET IN THE SWIM.
Every one who thinks at all will
tell you that the time has arrived
for Gainesville to break out of its
crust and begin to climb.
Os course we can only accomplish
things by co-operation, by working
collectively, and the worst drawback
to Gainesville has heretofore been a
lack of getting together. We will
not say a failure to get together, for
we have never really tried seriously.
The Atlanta Spirit, that has budd
ed a great city, is nothing more nor
less than getting , together. That
city was divided between Hoke
Smith and and Anti-Hoke Smith.
Leading politicians and big daily
newspapers were arrayed against
each other —on one side and the
other.
But in the hour when Atlanta had
practically lost the Regional Bank,
Hoke Smith waded in, and Atlanta
got the bank.
Now those leading papers and
politicians who were against Hoke
Smith are for him—forever and a
day.
Why? Because Atlanta puts busi
ness ahead of politics—puts Atlanta
above every other consideration.
And that is the Atlanta Spirit you
hear so much about.
Now, can’t we bury our little feuds
and contentions, and push Gaines
ville up to higher things?
The best sign of the breaking up
Gainesville’s deadly crysalis is that
over two hundred of our citizens—
men, women, boys and girls—have
signed a pledge and go to the City
Park on the Glorious Fourth—on
the anniversary of Freedom—and
work and perspire for cleanliness
U’td civic pride.
And there is a vast hope in this,
tills getting together with the rake
and hoe and wheelbarrow. And
they will all sweat together —the
peasant and the king, the prince and
the pauper. There is a democracy
in sweat that levels ail conditions —
just as the democracy of danger on
the battlefield brings all comrades '
together in lasting friendship.
Yes, we will all get together on the i
Fourth —and then we must go for-1
ward and do thing-.
We must make a summer resort'
at the City Park. We must have'
a place of entertainment for our I
own folks and for our summer visi
tors. We must have a place to turn
tlie children loose, and the old peo
ple too.
Everybody are agreed on a swim
ming pool. Every city of any size
hasone; Atlanta has many, and they
lead in popularity. Other things
we must have of course, but this
one in particular.
But it will cost money, just as
every tiling costs money —costs mon
ey to be born, to marry, and to die.
We have been told that even Salva
tion costs money.
I n this connection it has been sug
gested that the City sell off the lots
bordering on the street from Miller’s
to the new standpipe and use the
money to improve the City Park.
These lots would be immediately
improved witli handsome residences,
for they are now the most desirable
in the city.
Another thing lias been suggested,
which is an excellent idea —tear
down and move away the old stand
pipe and donate the lot to some one
who will erect a large summer hotel,
a thing which we have needed for
many years and need worse now
than ever. Witli the improvement
and beautification of the park, of
course such a hotel would lie tilled
all the summer months.
Now, understand, this movement
is yet in its infancy. We only give,
the plan as a suggestion, so you
may discuss and cuss and chew
on it.
Nature has favored this place for
a. swimming-pool —under the shade
of the great forest trees and fed by
a spring of pure water —and we must
keep up the agitation for this great
est of all needs—if Gainesville is to
prosper and grow.
WHAT T STHEMATTER NOW?
The idea has occurred to a great
many people, and is occurring tv a
great many more, that it is lime for
the Congressional Executive Com
mittee of the Ninth District to be
Called together, to declare a date for
the primary, lormulate rules, and
so forth.
What is the matter, brethren?
This committee is absolutely under
the control of Mr. Thomas M. Bell.
Does Mr. Bell foresee something to
be gained by delay?
The people are watching and wait
ing—they are wide-awake.
GETTIN’ THINGS.
The Athens Banner quotes an ar
dent Bell supporter as saying of
Mr. Bell:
‘■•Till he is called on for service
the Georgia people do not know ■
what a careful, constant worker he I
is and how he can get things his |
constituents want.’’
Yes, there are many that do not
know how lie can git tilings. Two
years ago many. Bell papers made
the argument that in case a Demo- .
cratic President was elected. Mr. |
Bell, by virture of his long expe- '
rience, would be in a position to git
things.
He was in position all right, but
somehow he couldn’t git things. No
need to go into details. The reader
knows some things he didn’t git.
We only need' to remind you to
think of a few things.
Fof fifty years it has been an un
written law for a Congressman to
name his home postmaster, if he
was of the political color of the
President.
In the matter of the Gainesville
post-office a new record was set —
and it is the only instance on record.
No need to blame Hoke Smith,
for Hoke had nothing to do with it.
Our idea is that the Administra
tion doesn’t think much of our Con
gressman.
Why the Administration doesn’t
think much of our Congressman—
well, that’s another question. You
may figure it out to suit, but the
fact remains.
THAT TWO DAYS FLYING TRIP.
Last week we mentioned Congress- 1
man Bell's “flying trip” to Gaines
ville, from his post at Washington,
and how he had forgotten to go
back. It was announced by his
organ here that he had "run down”
to make his announcements in the
newspapers. Then he would “run
back” to his post of duty.
Well, Thomas is here yet.
He reached good old Georgia on '
June 16th —and, as we remarked,
is here yet.
He found his little political job
very sick indeed. It has hay fever,
jimjams, fantods, and a misery in
the umbilicus.
And so he, with his smile, is here
yet.
The job may chirk-up a little tin- ■
der his treatment, but we doubt if
it ever sufficiently recovers to get up
again.
Our Congressman has made a
great play, and his friends have i
made a great play on the slogan
that he almost makes a martyr of
himself attending to “the dear
people’s business.”
His little organ at Blairsville and
his organ at Cleveland, and his
small hand organ up at Helen
Blazes have been assiduous and in
siduous in reminding their readers
that Tom is "attending to the peo
ple’s interests.”
Well, here is what appeared in
the Atlanta Journal Monday after-,
noon:
ABSENT CONGRESSMEN
LIKELY TO BE ARRESTED
LEADER UNDERWOOD KLANS DRAS
TIC METHODS TO MAINTAIN
QUORUM.
Washington, June 29. —Confronted
with difficulty of maintaining a
quorum in the house, Democratic
Majority Leader Underwood planned
to make a determined effort today
to keep members on hand to expe
dite business.
He has intimated that members
who go home may be sent for or
ordered arrested and brought back
to the capital.
Among the legislative matters
awaiting action are the annual ap
propriation bill. These must be ex
pedited because of the closing of the
fiscal year June 30. Efforts are also
to be made to secure the passage of
other measures.
Despite this, the leaders are hav
ing a hard time in maintaining a
quorum, A number of members
have gone home expecting not to
return during the present session.
Representative Underwood has al
ready warned members that he
would insist on a quorum and was
prepared today to use the sergeant
at arms if necessary to bring mem
bers in so that business may be
expedited.
Now, how about that, brethren?
And Thomas is Whup, too!
Don’t it get your goat?
Wouldn’t it be funny if the Whup
were to get arrested for failing and
refusing to work?
Oh. dear’. And we’ve been so
proud ofour Whup—so’proud that
we could furnish a man that could
rise to the proud eminence of Whup!
AND LITTLE JOE ENTERS THE RING.
The long period of suspense of the
Joe Brown politicians has been re
lieved. The drought has been
broken. The Promised Land, with
its loaves and flsb.es, is now in sight.
Maybe Little Joe knows why he
is running; we certainly do not. He
says he has received a great many
letters urging him to run. Is it pos
sible that he does not know that
these letters are largely from city
and town leg-pullers?
: Heretofore the crowd that ran
i Little -Joe had plenty of campaign
boodle, but now there are so many
politicians who have trouble of their
own tiiat the J. B. purse will look
like an elephant had stepped on it.
Os course the people will stand by
. Hoke, for he has made good as
| never a Georgian has before.
We are specially proud of one
; thing,—we have supported Hoke
Smith ever since 1896, when he ran
against Crisp for the Senate on the
Gold Standard platform.
And we are witli Hoke yet.
STANDS FOR THE INTEGRITY OF THE HOME
I
Dr. L. G. Hardman, candidate
i for governor, although his position
on prohibition is well known by the
stand he he has taken in its favor in
the past, at the request of the Geor
gia Anti-Saloon league has written
the following letter reiterating his
■ stand:
“Gentlemen: I received your let
. ter asking my position on the re
taining and perfecting the prohibi
tion law of Georgia.
i “My position is so well known in
i regard to this matter, being one of
the authors of the prohibition law,
i it seems hardly necessary to reply.
However, I want to state to you
that I stand for the retaining and
perfecting of this law and all laws
in Georgia that make for the better
, meat of her citizens and for the pro-
I tection of the women and children
,of this State, and I shall do all in
: my power to make this law more
, effective.
“Yours very truly,
“L. G. Hardman.”

1 DR. HARDMAN IN CARROLL COUNTY
•From Carroll Free Press.
i Dr. L. G. Hardman of Commerce,
! candidate for governor, spent Thurs
. day in the city meeting the voters
J of Carrollton and Carroll county in
i behalf of his candidacy for the gov
ernorship of Georgia. The rainy
, weather prevented his getting out
■ over all the county as he wished to
. do this trip, but he will come again
and address the people on the issues
jof the campaign, after his head
quarters have been opened in At
lanta. He went to Bowden Thurs
day afternoon, and Friday spent
some time in the northern part of
, the county, returning to Atlanta and
Commerce for the week-end.
Dr. Hardman has a great many
, warm supporters in this section, on
■ account of his well known record as
I one of the state’s best farmers and
business men as well an admirable
record as a legislator and state sena
tor from 1902 to 1910, and he made
many new friends here this week.
'He is the first gubernatorial candi
date thisyear to visit Carroll county,
save Mr. Anderson of Savannah,
who is not expected to be very
strong in this section of the state,
and he was much pleased at the re
ception accorded him and his pros
pects here in Coweta county, which
he visited Wednesday.
When Mr. Slaton declared him
’ self a candidate for the senate and
, left the governorship open Dr.
’ Hardman was the first candidate to
1 announce, and immediately estab-
I lished headquarters in Commerce,
I from which 10,000 letters are going
i out daily, and began an aggressive
| campaign. Realiziug that North
i and Northeast Georgia were practi
cally solid for him, he began a
thorough canvass of South Georgia,
working up from Valdosta, where
l he married, and in which section he
!is especially popular by reason of
I his valuable service to the agricul
j tural interest of the state in the
I legislature. So far he has visited
j between seventy and a hundred
I counties, all told, and everywhere
his candidacy is receiving gratifying
support.
The daily newspapers, which at
first has a tendency to underesti
mate Dr. Hardman’s strength by
reason of the fact that, representing
the business and agricultural inter
ests of the state as a whole, instead
of any political faction, and coming
from a small town, instead of one
of the larger cities, he made but
I few speeches, and indulged in no
I unseemly attacks upon the gentle-
I men running against him. have now
| come to realize that he is a most
formidable contender for the place.
Backed by an irreprochable record
lin private endeavor and in public
service, and as the champion of
. interests which most need cham
i pioning, he has carried his campaign
straight to the people; and it is a
winning campaign, and one that
will gather strength to the day of
the primary.
I „
THE COMING GOVERNOR
From Pike County Journal.
i Dr. L. G. Hardman of Commerce,
Ga., will after this be looked upon as
the coming governor of Georgia. So
i far he has been th6 cleanest man in
i the race for this office
He is a pure, honest consecrated
Christian gentleman. He is a true
and tried statesman. He has been
the author of some of the most im
portant legislation enacted in the
state.
He is highly honored and respect
ed by all who know him. He lives
in the confidence and love of his
neighbors. He is above littleness.
He is broad and aggressive yet con-
servative. He is amply qualified for
the office of our chief executive.
He is no turn coat. You can rely
on him. We knew him in college
where a young man's character is
easily found out. He was then pure
and clean, and has remained -o.
The state would have in him an
executive that all the people would
honor.
He is not a corporation attorney
nor could he be induced to bend his
knees to Baal; he is a worshipper of
God. and hence will prove true and
honest as our chief executive. He is
worthy of your support, he is worthy
of the office.
