HARDWICK HEARD
IN VIGOROUS PLEA
Former Senator Defends
Record and Tells
Where He Stands
(Continued From Page 1)
charged by the Palmer people with
“running a steam roller over that
Howell brigade.”
Proud of Charge
“I admit it; I am proud of it,” he
declared. “It is the second one in six
years that I have run over that crowd
and after the coming primary 1 will
roll another one over them, and roll
them so flat this time that Gabriel
will not be able to raise them with his
horn on resurrection morn.”
“When we went to San Francisco,”
he went on, “what did we find? Clark
Howell and A. Mitchell Palmer sitting
as judge and jury on their own case
and ours. Os course we didn’t have
a chance; we didn’t have the show
granted the lowliest criminal in your
court house here. Then we took our
case before another jury, the cre
dentials committee. But there we
found Little Albert Howell sitting on
this jury to try their case and ours.
So, again, we didn’t have a chance.
“But outside of the packed juries,
there were other reasons why we
din’t win at San Francisco. One was
the strangle hold the administration
had on the convention organization.
1 say it with joy, however, that be
fore that convention was over the del
egates asserted themselves, and Cox
beat the House of Wilson and its
Crown Prince candidate. The best
and strongest candidate won the nom
ination, and Georgia will give him the
highest vote for president this fall
any Democratic candidate has receiv
ed in thirty years.
“E. H. Moore Cox’s campaign man
ager, led the fight for us to beat
Clark Howell’s pet scheme and we
had several of the great states like
Ohio and Illinois and others lined up
for us when the opposition stooped to
a despicable thing. Knowing the
strong Irish Catholic representation
in the Democratic parties in certain
of our large communities, they
brought up Thomas E. Watson’s well
known opposition to Catholicism and
these forces came to us and informed
us that, while they realized the jus
tice of our position and would gladly
vote to seat us, the lawful repre
sentatives of the State of Georgia,
under the circumstances they would
be forced not to do so.
Scores Press “Slanders”
“Immediately after the San Fran
cisco convention had seated the Pal
mer delegates the Atlanta Constitu
tion, the Macon Telegraph, The Sa
vannah Press and The Savannah
News began to slander all of you who
voted for Hoke Smith or Watson.
They said that you and and Watson
and Smith were Bolsheviki and Reds,
which was as base a lie as ever came
from the depths of hell. Everyone
knows that the old South offers the

Mr. Hardwick next took up the
platform on which he is making his i
race.
“Do you believe in free speech?'
he asked. “If you do, whac kind? If
you believe in the real kind, that per
mits a man to speak his mind wheth
er it pleases those in authority or not,
I appeal to you to stand by the man
who two years ago risked his life
more than once for free speech in
Georgia. Do you believe in a free'
press? Free assembly? In the old
fashioned Democracy? In the separa
tion of federal and state power? In
the separation of the executive, leg
islative and judicial departments of
our government? If you do, stand by
the man who has been fighting for
these principles and for the preser
vation of real freedom in Georgia,
regardless of the consequences.
Federal Issues State Issues
“My opponents say I am making
this race on nationanl and not state
issues. If the race had been run five
years ago their statement might be
correct. But times are not as they
were five years ago. When we have
seen federal authority reach into ev
ery home in our land and touch ev
ery fireside, I say that in times like
these the man who tells you federal
issues are not state issues is either a
fool or takes you for one.”
Mr. Hardwick declared the state
government is full of “little boards
and commissions.” “These appear to
be more for ornament than anything
else,” he said, “although I don’t see
much of ornament about them. Like
other offices, they have followed the
high cost of living cry and had their
salaries raised, too. When I am gov
ernor—and I expect to be without
doubt —I expect to turn them all out
of office, and at least save that much
for you. We are regulated until we
are almost strangulated. We’ve got so
many laws now that most of the peo
ple don’t know when they are violat
ing them. I say let’s have fewer and
better laws and let’s enforce what we
have.”
He declared batter salaries for
school teachers in Georgia to be of
highest importance. He said that
when carpenters and brick-masons
get six and seven times as much pay
as the “builders of the brains and
characters of our boys and girls”
something is wrong and he proposed
to remedy it.
“And how am I going to pay teach
ers bigger salaries without increas
ing the taxes of a single poor man or
an honest well-to-do man?* he quer
ied. “We all know we have visible
or tangible property which cannot es
cape the tax collector, and it bears its
share of the burden. But we have also
another class of property—the invis
ible—consisting of stocks and bonds,
money, notes, insurance policies and
the like, which is escaping taxation
Os course we will have to be careful
in handling this problem so as not to
drive money out of the state and
make interest too high and loans dif
ficult to get. But we can force it into
the tax books by millions and by wise
laws can get money enough to give
our boys and girls the best teachers!
and the right kind of advantages.”
He declared that when he became
governor he would stop, by veto if
not by persuasion, the appropriation
by the legislature of money without
making provision for obtaining it. He
asserted that corruption of the ballot
is the “gravest of perils to free insti
tutions,” and said “it has got to stop
in Georgia.” He declared for the se
cret Australian ballot system, which
would make it impossible for a vote
buyer to check up and know whether
the “goods were being delivered or
not,” which, he said, would be a cause
of discouragement to such practices.
He ridiculed his opponents as “gum
shoe artists of the hand-shaking va
riety” and declared that “if either
should lose his right hand tonight he
would have to come down in the
morning.” He said it was impossible
for anybody to commit either of them
on any matter on which there is a
division of opinion. He stated that
last Saturday Mr. Walker made a
speech at Fairburn, where not all
the crowd was made up of Walker
men. “Finally somebody asked him
how he voted in the recent primary
and that broke up the meeting,” said
Mr. Hardwick. “Mr. Holder has told
various parties, I understand, that he
voted for Watson and also for Smith.
If I can get either one of them in a
joint debate I’ll smoke ’em out and
find where they stand.”
In answering the charge that he
was a “red” or radical, he pointed out
that- a few months ago his life was
sought by an I. W. W. bomb which
was mailed to him and which explod
ed in his home injuring his wife so
that she lay in a hospital for a month
and blowing off both hands of her
negro maid.
In Party to Stay
“I have never bolted the Democrat
ic ticket,” he declared in conclusion
“and I have never gone fishing on
election day. I have made more cam
paign speeches for the Democratic
party than any other 10 men in Geor
gia. Whenever I didn’t like the ticket
when it came to voting I have always
held my nose and gulped it down—
including when Wilson appointed my
own successor in Georgia. Mr. Wat
son and I are in the Democratic party
to stay, whether they like it or not.
He says he had to get out a few times
to teach them some sense, but is
back now forever. It is the house of
our fathers and I never have left it.
And we’re not going to be driven out
of it now by a lot of rats, but are
going to drive the rats out of it.”
After the conclusion of his speech
Mr. Hardwick held an informal recep
tion in which a number of citizens
shook his hand. A large number of
these were personal acquaintances
whom he called by their first names.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hawkins may
leave in the early fall for Florida
to make their home. Mr. Hawkins
is already there, and Mr». Hawkins
may follow with the advent of cooler
weather.
BANKER’S FRIENDS ELATED.
“Twelve years ago I became af
flicted with stomach trouble which
steadily became worse. I frequent
ly became prostrated with colic at
tacks and bloating. My doctors
wanted to operate for gall stones.
I wished to avoid an operation and
on advice of a friend tried Mayr’s
Wonderful Remedy with excellent
results as since taking it about two
years ago my trouble has entirely
disappeared.” It removes the ca
tarrhal mucous from the intestinal
tract, and allays the inflammation
which causes practically all stom
ach, liver and intestinal ailments, in
