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.

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.
