Dr. Hardman Winning
Over Combined Opposition
Helms both opponeuts clearly
beaten and will be .nominated on
the lirst ballot,
Atlanta, <la., August. 12th —
With but six days remaining of
the campaign, it looks like l>r. L.
0. Hardman ot Jackson County
has a decided lead over his op
ponen s in the race for Governor.
The Hardman candidacy seems to
have met w ith a ground swell of
popular favor the past lew days
and h s supporters ad unbiased
observers are predicting that he
will carry enough counties to in
sure his nomination on the first
ballot.
Hardman has been leading an
up hill light untill two weeks ago.
Ho has been generally recognized
as a line man. He is a good phy
sician, an excellent farmer, a sterl
ing business man and a Christian
gentleman with a record unblem
ished. llis opponents will concede
this. It. is also generally admitted
that in Ids sixyeaisol legislative
set vice he accomplished more for
the people in remedial legislation
than any living man has aceom
plishe t. Four men out of five
will toll you “Hardman is the best
man in fhe race, etc.” lie has,
how ever, been without daily news
paper support, has been vigorously
opposed by the Corporations, the
machine politicians, the railroads
and the whiskey interests are
afraid of his strong, vigorous,
honest, independent and progres
sive personality. They have been
airaid they could not control him,
and in this they had well grounded
fears. Ibd Ilard'iian broke by
the politicians and daily news
papers. He look his campaign to
the rural sections, lie talked to
the farmers face to face. lie held
up his in record as a friend of
the poeple and pointed to the in
terests and cloudy influence tie
hind his opponents. The weekly
press took up his light, the doctors
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 probable. The opposition
i; in a state of panic The Harris
strength seems to have collapsed.
Anderson has succeeded Harris in
many Counties in the effort to stem
the Hardman tide.
Tiie Hardman forces are jubi
lant. They see certain victory.
They are confident that as the peo
pie continue to learn of the ehara
ter oi support behind the other
two candidates and as attention is
directed to the fact that Dr. Hard
man is battling alone for the people
and paying every dollar of his
campaign expenses and asking no
quarter from Corporations, poli
ticians or whiskey interests, he
will continue to draw the farmers,
business men and laboring men to
his support.
It is a light between city e.iudi
dates supported by special interests
an lacountry cand : date relying en
tirely upon the people. I)r. Hard
man is confident o! /ictory—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.

LAND, FARMER’S SECURITY, r
NO LONGER BLACKLISTED, '
AT THE NATIONAL BANKS
In the couri® of an attack on the Regional Reserve Hanks, established
under the Democratic Currency Bill, published in the newspaper of July 31,
ex-Governor Joseph M. Brown says:
“However, the law does not force the borrowing banka to loan
money to farmers, and recent developments have proven those
latter banks are ‘not in the market for farm loans,’ hence the
Regional Bank system IS A NULLITY SO FAR AS RELIEF TO
THE FARMERS IS CONCERNED."
It would bo absurd to suggest that the law should force a bank to lend
money to any Individual, but the law passed by the Democrats DOES
PERMIT national hanks outside Central Reserve Cities to lend money on
farm lands, a privilege which for more than fifty years has been denied
them under the Republican law. For half a century farmers and farmers'
organizations have complained that their security was blacklisted by the
National banking law. But farm lands have been taken off the blacklist
by Section 24 of the new Currency law passed by the Democrats and signed
by President Wilson on the 23d of last December, as follows: j
"Section 24. Any Naional banking association NOT BITU- •:
ATED IN A CENTRAL RESERVE CITY may make loans secured
by Improved and unincumbered farm land, situated within its Fed
eral Reserve District, but no such loan shall be made for a longer
time than five years, nor for an amount exceeding fifty per centum
of the actual value of the property offered as security. Any such
bank may make such loans In an aggregate sum equal to twenty
five per centum of Its capital and surplus, or to one-third of Its
time deposits and such banks may continue hereafter as hereto
fore to receive time deposits and to pay Interest on the same.”
It la expected that there will bo twelve Reserve Cities: New York,
Boston, Philadelphia, Richmond, Chicago, Cleveland, St. Louis, Kansas City,
Minneapolis, San Francisco, Dallas and Atlanta. lianks in Central Reserve
cities will riot be permitted to make live-year loans because they will be in
cities where thousands of other banks will go to get money when It la needed
for commercial and agricultural purposes. But every other bank In the
United States is free to lend money on farm lands, which the National banks
were prohibited from doing until the Democratic law was passed.
If the man referred to in ex-Governor Brown’s card who made applica
tion -for a loan by tho National banks of Atlanta, had read the law, he
would have known that the Atlanta hanks, expecting to be In a Central
Reserve city, which will be the money reservoir for several States, could
not, under the law, be “in the market for farm loans.” Then It might have
occurred to him to apply to ex-Governor Brown’s National bank, which lias
authority to make farm loans and which can lie "In tho market” for them.
Read the law quoted above and see if this is not true.
The farmer’s land is no lodger blacklisted by law at the National banks
scattered all over (lie country as wus the case until last December, and
that, certainly, is a step forward for the farmer.
Before the Currency bill was introduced Senator Hoke Smith intro
duced a bill permitting National bankß to lend money on farm lands and
this plan, proposed by him, was incorporated in the Currency bill and is
now a law.
Dr. H. E. Stockbridge, editor of the Southern lturalist, upon seeing the
nttuek on tho farm loan feature of the currency law, wrote to forty-two
country national banks in Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama and Florida,
asking if they would make farm loans under the terms of the new law, and,
without exception, they replied that they would. One bank stated that it
was already making such loans. These letters are on file In the Ruralist
office In Atlanta, and the statement herein made will be substantiated by
Dr. Stockbridge.
