VOL. XXVIL
TOM HARDWICK
AND TOM WATSON
Candidates for Governor and Senator.
Respectively Will Speak at the
Fair Grounds Next Wednesday.
Next Wednesday is the big day for
Winder in -Georgia politics. Thomas
W. Hardwick and Thomas E. Watson
will be here, and the indications are
that there, will be some others,
Mr.'Hardwick had arranged to ad
dress the citizens at Winder on Au
gust 18th, and both local papers were
carrying advertisements to that effect
Some of Mr. Watson’s friends invit
ed T. E. to come up and address the
people in the interest of his campaign
for the senate on the same occasion
and Mr. Watson accepted.
That there will be one of the largest
crowds that has ever been assembled
at a political speaking in this section
of Georgia goes without saying. Har
row adjoins the couuties of Mr. Hard
wick’s opponents and many will come
from those counties to hear what Mr.
Hardwick has to say.
Thomas E. Watson is admired by a
majority of the voters of Barrow coun
ty* and almost worshipped by some.
His friends will be here from this and
adjoining counties.
Certain Atlanta politicians are try
ing to couple these two candidates to
gether and hold each responsible for
the acts and utterances of the other.
This is unfair to both, for Mr. Hard
wick must stand upon his own record,
and for that record Thomas E. Watson
was not sponsor, neither is he respon
sible. Thomas E. Watson is a free
who says what he pleases and
Thomas W. Hardwick has no control
over T. E.’s acts and utterances.
It has been heralded abroad that Mr.
Watsoti has attacked the American
Legion, and Atlanta Chapter No. 1. of
which the son of, Clark Howell is the
moving spirit, has passed resolutions
condemning Watson and Hardwick. If
Chapter No. 1 is non-political, why
should its resolutions include Hard
wick? We have yet to see in the pages
of the Congressional Record, printed
long before and during the war or in
the present columns of even the At
lanta Constitution, a single utterance
from the man save in the highest praise
for the American soldier. It was Hard
wick who favored and fought for high
er pay for the hoys who were called
to face the Hun. We may not vote
for Hardwick, for we have a boyhood
frn?nd and a neighbor in the race for
governor, but let's give the man a
square deal this time.
The playing of politics with the sa
cred heartstrings of men may cause
goulisli glee among friends and knaves
but it has no place among men of de
cency, honor and truth.
Will all the vehemence of our soul
we condemn the dragging of our dead
soldier boys into this dirty campaign
for 11. S. Senator. We do not say that
Watson is responsible. We do not say
that Atlanta Post No. 1 of the Amer
ican Legion is altogether responsible.
Mr. Watson stands accused and he
will at Winder on August 18th to
answer his accusers. Mr. Hardwick
will be here to speak on the issues of
the day, to defend his record and pre
sent his claims for political prefer
ffient.
Arrangements have been made for
ai! , open-air meeting at the fair
grounds. In case of rain the speaking
will he at the courthouse. Laides will
we welcomed, and we hope for an or
derly assemblage.

The latest news before we go to press
from the state capitol informs us that

of the members of the lower house in
recognition of faithful and impartial
service as speaker.
Mr. Holder in a feeling address ac
