CUFF WALKER TO
RUN FOR GOVERNOR
Political circles were stirred in the
state last Saturday by the announce
ment that Clifford Walker, of Monroe,
prominent in Georgia politics for
years, would oppose Governor Thomas
W. Hardwick for re-election next Sep
tember.
Walker, who opposed Hardwick for
governor in the primary of 1920, was
formerly attorney general of the state.
Taxes are expected to play the great
est part in the gubernatorial campaign
Walker is expected to oppose the state
income tax law which Hardwick fa
vors.
Since the first of the year Governor
Hardwick has conducted a campaign
throughout the state in favor of the
passage of an income tax law by the
legislature, which meets this month.
The governor has declared that he be
lieves an income tax system of raising
public moneys is superior to the one
now in use and his position has brought
the issue to the fore as one of the de
termining factors in his bid for re
election.
Former Governor Slaton opposed
Hardwick's stand, as have several oth
er prominent men who claim that any
change in the tax laws would work a
hardship upon the people, especially at
this time.
Neither Senator Watson nor Senator
Harris has come out unequivocally on
the fax question, which bids fair to
change the political line-up in Georgia.
Mr. Walker’s announcement was
made at Monroe Saturday afternoon.
It i(*as follows:
“I have decided definitely to become
a candidate for governor in the ap
•proaching democratic primary. I>ater
I will publish the platform on which
I will ask the suffrage of our people.
In this platform I will state my posi
tion on all matters in which I believe
the people are now interested. I will
maintain headquarters here at Monroe,
but will not take the stump earlier
than the first of July, as conditions
justify.

“Observer” Surprised
At Lack of Attendance
At Winder’s Play House
South Carolina Citizen Says Any City
Should be Proud of Such a
Building ami Class of
Entertainment,
Dear Mr. Editor:
As nothing can live without life
blood, and as profit is the life blood of
business, I as an observer, am taking
the privilege of calling the public’s at
tention to something that you, no doubt
have already noticed, and which, I
hope the public will respond to.
You have a wonderful moving pict
ure show building, but for the past few
weeks it has been dark. Why? For
lack of patronage. There is no need
to enter into an argument as to wheth
er the pictures shown under the for
mer management was worthy of the
patronage of Winder people or not; the
thing that faces us today is, that we
now have n new manager, and it is up
to the people of your city, who have
the interests of Winder at heart, to
watch and see what the manager of
fers the people of Winder, and if she
shows the pictures that a town the
size of Winder can expect, then it is
the DUTY of the people of Winder to
respond, not only by word of mouth,
but by actual patronage, night after
night.
The writer hns investigated this mat
ter and he is assured that the Strand
Theater, under the new management
will positively give the people of Win
der the very best pictures, if the
Strand is supported; the present man
agement is gambling upon the civic
pride of the representative people of
Winder, and “Observer” for one, does
not believe that Winder will he found
wanting.
No town the size of Winder can af
ford to be without a decent, first class
moving picture theater; it is an as
set to the town; it brings trade to the
town; and it is a tremendous force for
good in any community where the pic
tures are selected with good judgment
and care, and the writer is assured
that the Strand will show only good
pictures, anil that good order will be
[preserved at all times and fur
i ther more, within a few weeks ]
just as soon as the place can he clean
ed up and painted inside, the people
will not know the place.
Come on; let’s go Where? To The
Strand, of course, for the Winder peo
ple will not let a good thing go by the
board for lack of patronage, so long as
they are assured that It is a good thing.
(Signed) OBSERVER.
