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.

Na pier, Attorney General, Residence Tele., Dearborn, 0019. T. R. Dress, 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. Georgia, Barrow County. In person before the undersigned officer duly authorized by law to administer oaths, comes M. H. Lowe, who on oath says that the foregoing is a correct copy of the original let ter which he received in due course of the mails, and which he now has in his possession. M. H. Lowe, T. C., B. C.

Stark, Judge. / Commerce, Ga., Aug. 14, 1926. Hon. John T. Perry, Winder, Ga. 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, j (Signed) W. W. Stark. . Georgia, Barrow County. In person before the undersigned officer duly authorized by law to 1 administer oaths, came M. H.
