WHY CHANGE GOVERNORS?
JUDGE COX MADE
GOOD SPEECHES
Governor Harris: Confederate Sol
dier; Jurist; Christian Gentle
man; Statesman.
(continued from page one)
Shall We Dishonor Such a
* Man, a Man Who Has
Done His Duty, By Fail
ing to Re-elect Him?
Your Governor, tho Governor of
every man, woman and child in <
Georgia, is on trial and stands before
the people of a state that he lias loved
and served for half a century. He i
asks that they re-elect him to the
office of Governor, one which for a
yen’ now he has held honestly, fear-;
les ly and conscientiously; asks them
only to do for him what Democratic j
precedent has made a custom in
Georgia-—to give to every Governor
four years and which is now advo
cated by the majority of the candi
dates running.
Will you reject a man whose ex- ]
perience and ability as an able jurist,
and whose long and valuable service
in tho legislature amply qualify him
for the position?
Is it wise to substitute now an in
experienced man, one who has never
been tried as Governor, for one who
has consistently devoted ever^ day
for over a year to the position
Can you afford to neglect a man
who has carried on a splendid busi
ness administration, and who. for the
first time in history, had a thorough
audit made of the state’s hooks, thus
establishing a precedent for efficient
management of the state’s funds?
Can you conscientiously dispense
with the services of a man whose
work on the Western & Atlantic Rail
road Commission mukos him best
able to handle the present crisis that
has arisen with respect to this, the
state’s greatest asset?
Can you afford to help defeat a
man who has thus far successfully
fought the I.. & N.'s efforts to destroy
the W. & A. R. It. property? Don’t
be deceived about tne opposition to
your Governor.
Can you deliberately hurt the man 1
■who established the Georgia School
of Technology and is still Chairman of
the Hoard of Trustees; who is a Trustee!
of tlie Univeit ify of Gcorg’a (his alma i
mater) and of the Wesleyan f emale j
College, and has always been a leader
in Georgia’s educational progress?
Can you reflect on a man who has
paid the school teachers of the state
promptly and is doing so now for the j
first time in the history of Georgia,
a Governor who has fought more for i
the common schools of Georgia than
any other hps ever done before?
Do you think for a moment that
there ran lie any truth in the mali
cious charges against the courage and
backbone of a man who fought glo
riously for the South, and who made
the Prohibition acts possible in the
face of tremendous opposition and
threats ?
Will you deny to Georgia the priv
ilege of having as her Governor, for
(he last time, a man who honored his
gray uniform beneath the grand old
stars and bars of the Confederacy?
We do not believe that you can say
"yes” to any of these questions. We
believe that you and thousands of
other patriotic Georgians, will honor
your state, your governor and your
selves by voting for Governor Harris

Dear Governor—You can count on

His action in having published in
the Congressional Record, as de
livered on the floor of the house,
speechess delivered in Thomas-
ville and Tifton was branded as
insincere.
Judge Cox especially empha
sised the tact that he is not mak
ing a fight on the R. F. D. men
as some would have it appear.
His attitude is that to pension
the men thrown out of work by
the operation of the new rule in
the R, F. D. department would
defeat the purpose of the rule,
viz: economy. He stressed the
fact that he is a friend to the R.
F. D. men and believes them a
self-respecting bunch of fellows
who are not looking fora pension
cap.
Congressman Park was accus
ed of instability of views by rea
son of having changed his vote
on the immigration bill three
times. He was accused of fail
ducers and won many friends by
his remarks. His denunciation
Walter Park was especially vigor
ous and the Congressman was
called on to repudiate the attitude
of his brother.
Friends of Judge Cox were es
pecially gratified at the outcome
of these two meetings and are
expressing confidence in his car
rying Decatur bounty as a result.
The campaign will be continued
with a thorough canvass to be
gin within about a week and
continue till the entire county is
covered and it is believed that
when the people have met “Gene
Cox” face to face and have seen
his genial personality and re
cognized his great ability there
will be no tjoubt about Decatur
county’s lining up with the ma
jority of the others of the second
district and crowning him with a
handsome majority.
Clear Skin Comes From
Within.
Miss Delia Widener and Mr.
Ben Cooper, of this city, were
married last Sunday night at
the bride’s home near Blakely
in the presencs of a few friends
of the contracting couple.
Mr. Cooper is the son of Mr.
W. A. Cooper, one of the well
known citizens of the town and
is a young man with a number
of good friends that will learn
of his marriage with interest
and wish for him and his bride
a long and happy life. The
bride is one of Blakely’s splendid
young ladies that has a host of
well wishing friends.
