THE STRAND THEATER PROGRAM THURSDAY, Aug. 12—Olive Thomas in “Out Yonder.” FRIDAY, Aug. 13— Charles Ray in “Greased Lightning.” SATURDAY, Aug. 14.—Last Episode Silent Avenger. Western. Comedy. 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.
