SEVENTEEN REASONS FOR THE ELECTION OF T. W. HARDWICK ,%L THOMAS W. HARDWICK. 3. Because of long and loyal service to the Democratic party in State and Nation. 4. Because he is the father of negro disfranchisement in Georgia, and one of the pioneers of that movement in the South. It was he who begun the fight in 1899, prosecuting it vigorously, until it was won in 1908. 6. —Because he voted for and helped to pass in Congress such great constructive measures as the legislation for the construction of the Panama Canal, the Pure Food Act, the Hepburn bill regulating railroads, the McCall bill for publicity in campaign expenses, the Till man bill prohibiting corporations from making political contributions, the act of 1907 limiting the number of hours of continuous service for railroad telegraphers, the employers’ liability act, the Constitutional Amendment providing for an Income Tax, and for the election of United States Senators by the people and others. 6. —Because South Georgia is entitled to one of the Senators. Mr. Hardwick was born in Thomas county, and lives in Washington county. 7. — Because he led a successful fight in Congress to repeal the tax of two cents a pound on sugar, thus saving this amount to every housekeeper in the country. 8. —Because he helped organize and lead the fight on Cannon and Cannonism, thereby splitting the Republican party and paving the way for complete Democratic success in 1912. 9-—Because when disruption threatened the party over the Panama tolls question, he, with Congressman Adamson of Georgia, under of ficial appointment, rallied the shattered forces and saved the day for the party and the administration. 10. Because he has always stood for sharp restriction of undesir able foreign immigration and was instrumental in increasing the head tax and imposing an educational test on foreign immigrants. 11. —Because he was largely instrumental in securing the passage of the Shackelford good roads bill through the House. 12. Because he has always opposed and always wiH oppose most strenuously the appointment of negroes to office. 13. —Because although progressive in views as his record proves, ho supports the great basic principles of Democracy—individualism, rights of the states, co-ordination and division of federal powers—and believes in upholding the ancient Democratic faith. 14. -Because he is vigorous, alert, active and always ready to fight hard and to the end for the interests of Georgia and her people. 15. —Because he never dodges an issue or trims his sails to catch a passing breeze. 16 - Because lie wears no man’s collar and acknowledges no master save the sovereign people of Georgia, whose commission he will hold. 17. Because he is the peer of any of his competitors in ability, experience, judgment and party service. HARDWICK CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE. FIELD NOTES REPORTED BY DEMONSTRATION AGENT Some things worthy of men tion which I have recently notic ed on my rounds are: Bernard Gaston’scorn club acre the best I have seen in the coun ty. Considerably over a hundred bushels will probably be made on this acre. Charlie Pittman’s six acre patch of cotton, this promises to make a big yield. Lawrence Crawford’s 40 head of cattle and dipping vat. The cattle are free from ticks. His vat cost him about $25.00. Geo. Mallet's Hereford and Percherons and pure bred hogs and the vat which he has recent ly built. Mr. Mallet will give a demonstration on August 7th. Everybody invited. A farmer whose cotton has been wonderfully improved by field selection. This is Mr. Jim Ray and his boys' acre and a twelve acre piece of cotton ranks exceedingly high. The improvements going on around his beautiful country home makes T. W. Moore's place a model. He contemplates build ing a dipping vat soon. G. W. Thornton has succeeded well in growing alfalfa and crim son clover. He has made won derful progress in building up his place by inoculated legumes S. H. Mays’ chickens, hogs, ponies and his chief cook and THE Democratic voters of Georgia will do well to select Congressman Thomas W. Hardwick to fill the unex pired term of the late Senator Bacon — 1. —Because he is pre-eminently quali fied by twelve years training and expe rience in Congress, is in close touch with the Democratic leaders in the Senate, witli President Wilson and his Cabinet, and can wield an influence for Georgia greater than any one of his opponents could hope to have. 2. —Because, being at least the equal in mentality of any of his competitors, he is twelve years ahead of them in experience as to the duties of a Senator.
