GENUINE CASTORIA ALWAYS Bears the Signature of The Kind You Have Always Bought In Use For Over 30 Years THE CENTAUR COM RAN Y, NEW YORK CITY. —The U. S. Senatorship— HERE ARE THE RECORDS 1. Thoma* W. Hardwick’s first conspicuous act wa to vote In Congress to raise his own salary 33 1.3 per cent. 2. Mr. Hardwick fought the Parcel Post —the greatest boon the farmers have had In a gen eration. He boasts that he still opposes it. 3. Mr. Hardwick fought Pres ident Wilson’s new currency plan which the Wall Street bankers opposed. This new law will enable the farmers of the United States to borrow $500,- 000,000.00. The proportion to Georgia will be $10,000,000.00. The farmers will be able to bor row on cotton, corn, live-stock and produce. 4. Mr. Hardwick turned the facilities of the Government Printing Office In Washington over to a paid lobbyist. He has been using the Government franks to send his speeches broadcast to promote his can didacy for Senator. 5. Mr. Hardwick has not an swered a dozen roll-calls In three months. He Is drawing down $28.40 a day from the Na. tlonal Treasury as a Represen tative of ti.e Tenth District. 6. Mr. Hardwick while pro claiming bombastically through out the State that he cut the duty from sugar, the record Is against him. He was Chairman of a Committee to Investigate the Sugar Trust. In hls report of thirty-two pages not one word can be found about reduc ing or taking the tax off sugar. (See report 331, Sixty-second Congress, Second Session.) 7. During hls twelve years In Congress, Mr. Hardwick has not been the author or the chief promoter of any one nota ble act. Mr. Slaton put over the Inheritance Tax Law which many others had recommended but not produced. Put over the Revised Registration Law which others had failed to get through. Reduced the State’s expenditures for the first time in forty years. Protected the State’s credit and financial standing by borrowing money for Georgia at 3 per cent when neigh boring States were paying 7 per cent. F'ought for and put over the Tax Equalization Law, which has put millions of formerly unreturned property on the tax books. He saved the State’s credit and made it possible at the same time to lower the tax rate. Redeemed in a year his pledges as Governor, and accomplished more constructive work during that pe riod than had been done in ten years before. HE IS THE BEST TRAINED PUBLIC MAN IN GEORGIA. John M. Slaton State Campaign Committee ALFRED C. NEWELL, Chairman J. A. MORROW, Secretary N. B.—Don’t forget that Hardwick boasts that he fought the Parcel Post. 6-A. 1. John M. Slaton left tha chair In the State Senate and saved the Income lax amend ment which puts the burden of taxation on the rich. 2. Mr. Slaton would. If made Senator, maintain and extend the preaent Parcel Post Sys tem. 3. Mr. Slaton Is for the new Currency Law, because It will ■ prevent panic conditions and high money rates. He Is for a system of national rural credits. 4. Mr. Slaton Is going down In hls own pocket for hls cam. palgn expenses. If elected he will not be under obligation to any man or set of men. 5. Mr. Slaton hat remained continually on the Job at Gov ernor of the State. Hls candi dacy Is a consultation with the people. 6. Mr. Slaton has been a consistent advocate of low tariff and of all acts which would re duce the high cost of living. 7. Here are some of the acts which characterize the record of John M. Slaton: AD V E RTI H EM ENT.
