All “PVim" On Holder
Carswell, Hardman and Wood are
all on the stump, and neither ever
Utters a word against the other,
while each of them is busy repeat
ing campaign canards about Holder,
who is actively at work on his job,
along with the other commissioners,
and doesn’t even give interviews to
newspaper reporters, but most of
the press of the state is actively sup
porting him, and keeping the people
fully informed.

Winning and Holding Votes For
Holder
To us it would seem that John
Holder’s enemies are his best friends.
The ridiculous tactics and assertions
some of them are using against him
are winning and holding him votes.
It would be otherwise if voters gen
erally were ignoramuses.

(From West Point News)
Will Protect State Against Overin
debtedness
John Holder is the representative
of the people against overindebted
ness. He was a popular man
throughout the state before he stood
out and championed common sense
with regard to bonded indebtedness
but he now is more popular than
ever, for he cannot be led away from
this stand on Georgia’s biggest ques
tion. The people of western Georgia
know John Holder is sn honest, whole
souled, able man who will take a de
finite stand and remain firm. They
believe in his sincerity of purpose
and they know he will be elected
easily on September 8.

People To Decide Bond Queitioa
September 8
George Carswell wants to refer
ttie question of a state bond issue to
the people in a general election.
However, John Holder has already
announced for governor on a plat
form opposed to state bonds,' and
now that Carswell is running on a
probond platform the issue will real
ly be determined in the September
primary whep a much larger yote
will be cast than in a general elec
tion. And, if the voters mean what
they are saying now, George will be
firmly convinced on the morning of
September 9 that the people of Geor
gia do not want any heavy bond is
sue levied upon them at this time.
(From Dawsonville Advertiser)
Holder'* Opponents “Slinging Mud”
The good people of Georgia are
not going to believe the personal
abuses John Holder’s opponents are
throwing at him. And immaterial
matters pertaining to the bond is
sue are being published against Mr.
Mr. Holder. Just any thing to try
to win votes, but they are gaining
votes for Mr. Holder by this “mud
slinging.” Mr. Holder's record as
Chairman of the Highway Commis
sion is open—he isn't trying to keep
anything from the people, and we
believe they will show their appreci
ation of him when they cast their
vote on Sept. Bth.

(From Walton News.)
"Set* Pretty.”
The Oglethorpe Echo says: “John
Holder continues to ‘set pretty’ in the
straight road to the executive chnir.
He is making votes by paying no
attention to the onslaughts of his
opponents with baseless charges. The
people are wise to the fact that they
are made solely for campaign pur
poses.” Ye "Uncle John's” still hunt
in Walton was decidedly helpful.

(From Oglethorpe Echo)
“The State Will Be Safe"
“Beat John Holder!” is the hue and
cry of the opposition. They don’t
seem to give a darn who else is elect
ed. There will surely be mourning
and gnashing of teeth by the Walk
or-Anderson clique the morning af
ter the election. The state will be
safe.

Opposition Criticises Board For
Performning Duties
One of the charges Carswell and
Hardman are making against Holder
is that he is holding meetings with
the county authorities asking the
allocation of roads, at the expense
of the state, *just as if that work
could be done in some other way,
■which is simply impossible. He and
the other members, Bennett and
Phillips, are obliged to do precisely
what they are doing, and the person
so silly as to be influenced by such
contemptible rot needs a guardian.

John Holder is not saying something.
But how can he talk and figure mile
age all at the same time? However,
he has talked some. He says: “If
the people will elect him to the Gov
ernor’s chair he will give them the
safest and best administration that
it is possible for him to render. ’
There is no doubt but what ho means
every word of it.
