Harris Safe, Sane, Tried, Truej | Weighed by every well known standard Governor Harris has made good as Governor of Georgia. Without doubt he is one of the ablest, most balanced, well rounded men that has held the office of j chief executive in a generation. He has been a life long friend of education. It was through his efforts, largely, that the Georgia School of Technology was es tablished. That is one thing and a BIG thing. Under his admin istration the school teachers have been paid promptly. He is an influential trustee of the University of Georgia; he is prominently identified with the Methodist church and has represented Vander bilt University in important litigation. Governor Harris has been a friend to the Confederate Veteran, of whose number he is a distinguished member. These heroes of the Old South have been paid their pensions promptly under the ( Harris regime, and recently a grateful Legislature voted to increase the pensions of the State’s Confederate soldiers and Governor Har ris approved the measure, flis comrades in arms, with scattering exceptions, are supporting his candidacy with enthusiasm. He has been a business Governor. Under his administration, 1 for the first time, a thorough audit of all the State’s books was made. That was an act that all factions approve. He insists the Slate’s business—the people’s business—should be administered economically and that a strict accounting be made. Governor Harris has been a friend to the State Sanitarium, the State’s greatest charity. The General Assembly provided $200,000j for anew building at the Milledgeville institution and Goveror Har ris immediately signed the measure. Governor Harris has used the pardoning power with extreme caution. It cannot be said of him that he is a pardoning Governor. He has granted a few pardons, but not until he went thoroughly and exhaustively into the merits of each case. He made good his promise to pardon Stripling, hut his review of that celebrated case is an able State paper. The crowning act of the Harris administration is the prohibi tion law, a measure that banished liquor from Georgia forever. At a time when he was ground between the upper and nethermillstone, Governor Harris had the manhood and courage to include prohibi tion in the call for an extra session of the Legislature. Prohibition in Georgia was inevitable. Seeing that this was true Governor Harris put that measure in his call and the Legislature did the rest. Georgia is a better State for having passed the prohibition law. The good effects of dry legislation are to be seen every day in ev ery hamlet, town, city and county in the State. The whiskey in terests have trained their heaviest batteries on the map who made real prohibition possible in Georgia. See to it, prohibitionists, that Governor Harris is not crucified on a cross of thorns for doing his DUTY. The whiskey interests have sworn to defeat the old Gov ernor. Will the prohibitionists stand by and see it done? Already there is p scheme on foot to foist a dispensary system on the State. It originated with the Floyd county delegation in the Legislature. The issue is squarely joined. The prohibitionists have won a great victory, but they must fight and fight HARD to retain it. B 6 on guard, prohibitionists. Hold up Governor Harris’ hands by electing out and out prohibition candidates to represent imu. Local option and dispensary advocates are as WET as the briny deep. Liquor has been outlawe lin Georgia. Eternal vigi lance is the price of success. Let the voters in every county put legislative candidates to the test. t A dispensary system debauched South Carolina and it would debauch Georgia. A vote for Govern or Harris is a vote for a DRY STATE. Don’t forget that Georgia is in the midst of the biggest PROHIBITION FIGHT the State has ever known. Watch the LINE-UP, prohibitionists! Governor Harris is a broad-minded, patriotic citizen and a Chris tian nobleman. He is safe, sane, tried, true, eonservative-the right man at the helm when the State’s railroad is in jeopardy and prohibition is being bitterly assailed. He is not appealing to the passions and prejudices of the elec torate, but is standine on his record of constructive legislation. Democratic precedent, long established and a powerful unwritten law in Georgia, entitles him to a second term as an endorsement of his administration. Since the Civil War Georgia has honored her Governors with a second term. In ability, character and intel ligence Governor Harris ranks with Gordon, Smith, Brown, Terrell and other executives who were given a second term. Why make an exception in the case of Governor Harris? There is not a single reason for it. The liquor men are mad and Messrs. Hardman. Dor sey and Pottle are unduly ambitious. That’s the opposition in a nutshell. The closest analysis, the most searching scrutiny cannot reveal another reason. It doesn’t exist. Will the voters of Georgia turn down this gallant old War Horse who trudged across Virginia’s fields with Jackson and Lee, a man who fought his way up in life from country editor, lawyer, this friend of education, friend of the Confederate Veteran, construc tive statesman, father of prohibition in Georgia, golden hearted gentleman and highest type of Christian patriot? Do you believe the great mass of fair-minded, unpurchasable. God-fearing, liber ty-loving Georgians will turn their backs on this beloved leader? The eight thousand graduates of Teeh, each a leader in his community, say no. The militant army of prohibitionists in Geor gia say no. The Confederate Veterans say no. Those who believe in the unwritten law of Democratic precedent—second term— say no. Those broad-minded, patriotic Georgians who believe in a fair deal say no. The friends of education say no. The advo cates of a business administration say no. The tide has turned irrevocably, irretrievably, the voters of Georgia have found their balance, passion and prejudice has had its day, and Governor Harris will cross the bar with a tremendous popular majority and be re-elected to a second term. O Cd C 7 C -* < TO THE 8.<3 PEACE \ -V&, You Know the Road! If you’ve got cotton to sell, you want the BEST TERMS the market offers, —don’t you? And in order to get those terms, you don’t load your bales on a wagon and hit for the backwoods, do you? Of course not! You head for the BEST MARKET. You hunt the place where the demand is good. That’s what you do. For all the territory for many miles around, Atlanta today is THE cotton market—best cf all. Much cotton is here now. An enormous quantity will be centered here this fall. Warehouse and financial facilities are ready. Concentration privileges granted by the railroads (meaning you get local freight charges back in the buyer’s check) are adding big inducement. Some four teen additional cotton firms have opened here since we put up our compress and built our milllon-dollar ware house with its storage for 250,000 bales. Over thirty mills are busy within 40 miles. They furnish the local demand. Other buyers are here from distant mills. We’ve had to put up an office building to accommodate ’em. And the foreign demand is here. Cotton can go to the ports as easily as in any other direction, for many railroads radiate from Atlanta. Competition among domestic buyers, on the one hand, and between domestic and foreign markets, on the other, makes Atlanta a REAL cotton market —a HIGH cotton market—the BEST PLACE to sell your cotton. You get the advantage of it in price; and you find a ready sale, moreover. Our whole organization and experience are at your service to find the highest bidders for your cotton, without charge or com mission OF ANY KIND if two months’ storage charges are paid. “Atlanta secured much the better price, on practically the same market, and rendered the quickest possible service, while Blank City was ten days to two weeks late,” wrote a customer the other day after we’d sold 105 bales for him at top price. “Besides, Atlanta saved me in handling charges 75 cents a bale or more. Atlanta will be my SOLE FUTURE MARKET.” We’ve pleased a great many others by RESULTS. THEY’VE TOLD US SO. We invite YOUR patronage, too. ATLANTA WAREHOUSE CO ASA G. CANDLER P.es.denf ’ MR. J. P.
