Hamilton Lauds Holder’r
Speech
(From Atlanta Constitutin'’l
“No campaign address delivered to
Georgia voters in recent yearn no
completely electrified the state as did
the speech of John N. Holder, at Jef
ferson, last Saturday afternoon,” de
clared Thomas J. Hamilton, editor of
The Augusta Chronicle anil manager
of the Holder dhnpaign for governor,
in a statement issued Tuesday.
“This speech has made p tremen
dous impression all over the state.
Campaign offices have been literally
swamped with letters, telephone mes
sages and telegrams requesting copies
of the speech. Hundreds have come
from almost as many counties asking
for quantities of the address for dis
tribution in their section.
“When an order was placed with
the printers for 100,000 copies it was
thought this would be amply suffi
cient to meet the demand, but al
ready requests have come for more
than a quarter of a million copies and
the end is not in sight.
Clears Up Situation
“Mr. Holder's Jefferson speech has
thoroughly clarified the political at
mosphere. It has served to expose
the camouflaged issues offered by his
opponents and has shown how C-ey
have been industriously muddying the
craters. The false issues and the false
charges have given way before this
speech as does chaff before a strong
wind and as does fog before a noon
day sun.
“Mr. Holder’s opponents have been
thrown into a panic. They have been
routed by the powerful barrage laid
down in* his address and they are
frantically striving to re-form their
lines and work out anew plan of
campaign. They know now, if, in
deed they have not known it all the
time, that they will not be allowed
to conceal the fact that the real is
sue in this campaign is Whether Geor
gia shall be mortgaged with a bond
issue.
“Mr. Holder’s opponents and voters
of Georgia know that almost invaria
bly the issuing of bonds in vast
amounts by states has been followed
by the levying of an income and other
irritating and burdensome taxes.
Bond* Not An Issue? ? ?
“In their frantic efforts to make
H appear 'nat bonds are not an issue
and that the governor has nothing to
do with the action of the legislature,
Mr. Holder's opponents betray the
weakness of their whole case. Every
voter expects a candidate for gover
nor to take a positive stand on the
vital issues facing the state and every
v<fter desires to vote foT a governor
who will have sufficient force and in
fluence to provide protection for the
best interests of the state. Otherwise,
why are Mr. Holder’s opponents,
every one of them, proclaiming from
stump to stump a set of alleged issues
and declaring themselves for or
against certain things?
“If a governor has no influence
with the legislature, why iio they
bother to promulgate a platform?
“Just another absurdity.
“Mr. Holder’s election is assured
and by the most tremendous majority
any gubernatorial candidate has ever
received. All who run- even the op
position candidates—may read the
signs.”
GEORGIA POLITICS
(From Wilkes County Forum)
Some Shape Up Yet To Come
Candidate Carswell experienced a
shake up last week in South Georgia,
whyi h• automobile turned over
twice. Glad he was not injured. This
little shake ..up is not a circumstance,
to the shake up some gubernatorial
candidates will receive September
fith.
Over In a Few Days
A few more days and the agony
will be over, we rejoice to know.
Hope some of the candidates, at least,
will be able to save some of their
character for posterity. The conduct
of the campaign by some, has been
sufficient to make any true Georgian
blush.

Assistant Attorney General; R. O.
Huie, Secretary.
August 9, 1926.—H0n. M. H.
Lowe. T. C., Barrow County, Win
der Ga. Dear Sir:
With furthi " reference to yours of
the 6th, just received, as I was out of
the office Saturday.
The decision in the 112 Georgia,
page 308, indicates that the court
believed that, as a revenue measure,
persons who had no disqualifications
except failure to pay taxes, should
be allowed to pay and vote. The
express letter of the law is, though,
that the taxes must be paid six
months before the day of the elec
tion at which they to vote.
My conclusion, after going thrpugh
a great deal of law, and thinking of
the matter from every angle, is that
if the registrars find that the voter’s
name has been left off through some
fault of the registrars, and if
there is no disjualification ex
cept his failure to pay taxes, he
should be permitted to pay his taxes
now and vote. But, that, if the name
has been left off entirely by the
fault of the voter, and who has not
met his legal obligation to pay his
taxes six months before the election,
that be can not legally register at so
late a date and pay his taxes.
This is a local question for your
registrars, who understand the facts,
and a majority of the Board of Reg
istrars control in passing upon a
question of this kind.
With best wishes,
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) Geo. M. Napier,
Attorney General.

j Dear John: Your letter just to hand,
and the letter of the Attorney Gen
eral attached. The Attorney Gen
eral is right in my judgment, that is
that the tax defaulter’s name should
fiot be put on the registration list,
but if he comes up on the day of
j election and shows his tax receipt and
will swear that he has paid all taxes
due, the managers of the election
should take his vote, and note the
fact of his oath.
; But if he is a tax defaulter, his
name should not be placed on the
list, and the law says he must pay
hix taxes six months before the
election to entitle him or her to have
, their names on the registration list,
and that is what the Attorney Gen
eral holds.
Am glad Mr. Lowe wrote Napier.
Yours truly,

WHY?
Because:
Judge Russell opposes the League of Nations and its World Court (Q
which Senator George voted In violation of his 1922 platform and oppose
all foreign entanglements.
- Judge Russell opposes permitting the World Court Of the League j
Nations with ten foreign Judges to vote us into the wars of the world "’lt
which we have no concern.
Judge Russell favors Farm Relief Bills; favors collecting war debts
us by the European nations amounting to many BILLIONS, and lie favors t|
operation of the Muscle Shoals Plant so as to provide cheap fertilizers at
nitrates to our distressed farmers. Senator George aud the Power and
