A Vote Against POTTLE Means a Vote For DORSEY TPHE race in Decatur county is between Pottle * and Dorsey, with. Pottle far in the' lead. The best political prophets say that Pottle will come to the Bridge from the West side with 450 majority. The voters supporting Harris and Hardman, realize A Vote Against POTTLEl Means a Vote Fori DORSEY that Pottle is the only man that can beat Dorsey in this county and are lining m Strong For Him SIDELIGHTS ON CAMPAIGN Editor Post-Search Light:— I am glacl to see from reports all over Georgia that Pottle in the lead for Governor. He is the man that turned Dorsey up, and exposed his record to the people of Georgia. Dorsey belonged to a firm of lawyers that were hired by the L. &. N. Railcoad to paral lel! the State Road, waich would destroy the State Road and would couse the state to raise the taxes on every foot of land in Georgia, as the State gets nearly a half million dollars a year rent for this Railroad, and if the Governor allows the L. & N. Railroad to run another railroad along side of our state road it will be absolutely worthless. We couldn’t rent it for scarcely anything, and that half million dollars rent will have to be levied on our farms and other property, or do away with all the free schools in the State. Before you cast a vote tor Dorsey, you had better ask yourself the Question! “Am I willing to help destroy my own State Road, by voting for a paid attorney of the L. & N. Railroad, and thereby increase the taxes on my own farm and stock.” God knows, taxes are already high enough. You had better go slow about voting for Dorsey. A VOTER. EXPOSED DORSEY The good news comes from all over Georgia that Pottle is in the lead. Every county in the Circuit where he was Solicitor for 34 years have lined up strong for him. He has exposed Dorsey’s record in nearly every county in Georgia, and the people every where are thanking him, and dropping Dorsey like a “Hot Brick”. Pottle challenged Dorsey to meet him in his home town, Atlanta, where he would bring the charges against him face to face. He begged to be excused. HON. JOSEPH E. POTTLE Candidate For Governor Of Georgia Vote For Him POTTLE AN IDEAL OFFICER Pottle would make a splendid Governor. He is young, -.igoi ous, and able, and would be an honor to Georgia. He was for ll years Solicitor General, 10 years without opposition. He is again/ the sale of the State Road. He believes that Georgia ought to g a great deal more rent for our road than she now gets, and therebl lower Taxes. If Georgia should, by accident, happen to the calan ity of electing Dorsey Governor, and he sign a bill to let the L., N. Railroad kill our State road, and the state lose the half millioJ dollars rent, and taxes thereby raised, and the Boll Weevil m to] of ttiat, there will be awful times in Georgia. Think of that befo you put in a vote for Dorsey. A GOOD DAY’S WORK It is to the interest of every white man in Decatur county tJ lay down your work and go to the polls on September 12th, ana vote and work tor that matchless Champion of the peoples rights] Hon. Joe Pottle for Governor. It will be the best day’s work you ever done. You owe him that much for turning up Hugh Dorsey and exposing his Record. Remember, the 12th of September the day to do the work. The sledge hammer blows that Pottle] has been giving Dorsey has gotten him winded and got him on the) run. TORE IT UP What the Hon. Joseph E. Pottle did not say about the Hon, Hugh M. last night leaves very little to the imagination. He rip ped up every plank in Dorsey’s platform and chopped it up into kindling wood, after which the fragments were ground to sawdust, He made a good impression on the audience and was warmly ap- plauded at frequent intervals.—Albany Herald. POTTLE HEADQUARTERS THOROUGHLY CONFIDENT FAVORABLE REPORTS FROM ALL OVER THE STATE STRONGLY INDICATE HIS NOMINATION. Joseph E. Pottle’s campaign headquarters on yesterday issued the following statement: "Mr. Pottle, during the past week, has just completed a successful tour of southwest Georgia, and everywhere he has been met by large and enthusiastic crowds. “The people of the state recognize that he has borne the brunt of the fight in this campaign, and that it is on account of his magnificent efforts that the wave of hysteria that swept over the state for a while has been curbed. Out of the discussions ol the issues by him in an intelligent manner, the people have realized the real facts and their better judg ment has overcome their first idea, based on a misapprehen sion of the real issues of the campaign. "Mr. Pottle has boldly expressed his charges as to the influences behind the candidacy of Mr. Dorsey, and has shown, beyond hope of contradiction, the trail leading from the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company’s offices to that of Mr. Dorsey. His acceptance of employment in be half of the Louisville and Nashville railroad at a time when he was legally disqualified from doing so and when it was his duty to represent the state, in a matter affecting the state's interests in the Western and Atlantic—the state’s greatest asset disqualifies him from representing the state as its chief executive. MANY COUNTIES CLAMOR TO HEAR POTTLE SPEAK Joseph E. Pottle, who has just completed a tour of some of the southwest Georgia counties, where he shook hands with his numerous supporters and made several of the best speeches of his campaign, was in his head quarters at the Kimball house last night, and leaves early this morning for Milledgeville, where he will spend the day with his family. Mr. Pottle will leave Milledgeville Monday morning for Washington county, where he will speak twice; in the morning at Sandersville and in the afternoon at Davisboro. His many friends in that county have assur- - ed him that the county would swing into the Pottle col umn if he could address them. Mr. Pottle’s campaign headquarters are receiving by mail invitations to address the voters of various counties throughout the state, which he has so far been unable to visit. Many petitions, signed bv the leading citizens of the sections trom which they come, are being received, as well as urgent invitations by wire. It is a source of regret to him that it will be impossible to ac cept these numerous invitations, owing to the shortness of the time remaining before the primary on Sept. 12. On Tuesday, Mr. Pottle will make two speeches in Berrien county, speaking in the morning at Nashville and in the atternoon at Adel. “His base appeal to prejudice and passion has been seen to be inconsistent with his former record which shows re peated appeals for clemency when no evidence, other than that heard by the jury was presented in numerous cases. His mere denial will not overcome these public records. “In addition to that, Mr. Pottle is the only candidate who has paid a tribute to Woodrow Wilson, the nominee of the national Democratic party, whom Thomas E. Watson is now assailing in his efforts to elect a. Republican candidate. As Mr. Pottle has so well shown, it seems inconceivable that the Democrats of Georgia will allow Watson, who is seeking to elect the Republican nominee of the National Republican party, to name the Democratic nominee of the state of Georgia. “From all over Georgia come reports that Mr. Pottle s j efforts on these issues are being appreciated. These reports are confirmed to no particular locality, but naturally he is stronger in the sections where he has been able to -P eali and where he is well known. The outlook of today ev ceedingly gratifying, and the combined strength of th- sout Georgia support, with that which he will receive in m lddle Georgia and numerous mountain counties, will send him the convention with at least seventy counties. We Teel co fident of his nomination, and our friends over the state F re diet the adequate reward which he so richly deserves A Vote Against Pottle Means A Vote For Dorsey (Advertisement)
