Comments On Governor’s Race <Froni Lawrenceville New'-Herald.) 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. * * • (From Oglethorpe Echo) 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. • • e (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. * • • (From Crawfordville Advocate- Democrat.) 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. a • • (From Lawrenceville News-llerald.) 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. * * (From LavonCa Times) Ha* So : d F.naujh It 4 - r:r •-a fe-v r —! c • BOLTON ACCADEMY • • | Last Week's Locals.
