WALKER FLAYS
RIVAL IN MACON
Rain Greets Candidate—
Says Women Honor
‘Cause’
MACON, Sept. 3.—"-Speaking to an
audience of several hundred people
who had gathered to hear him in
spite of a rain which continued al
most until he had concluded speak
ing, Clifford Walker, candidate for
governor, last night unmercifully
scored Thomas W. Hardwick, his op
ponent, for his connection with the
Russian Soviet government. He de
clared that where Christ had been be
trayed 1900 years ago for thirty
pieces of silver, the American gov-
betrayers are being de
fended now for $30,000 pieces of
silver by a man who is seeking the
high office of governor.
Mr. Walker’s audience was en
thusiastically with him through his
hour and a half speech.
He was introduced by General Wal
ter A. Harris, an old college mate,
who also scored Hardwick and his
record, saying that the people of Ma
con two years ago would“have spew
ed out of their mouths, a man who
would have dragged before the peo
ple for political gain the services and
sacrifices of the men of the old Sec
ond Georgia regiment.
Mr. Walker went immediately into
his speech, acknowledging the pres
ence of a number of women, whom,
he said, “honored the cause for which
he was fighting,” and dealing with
national issues by saying that he
stood squarely on the platform of
the Democratic party and its nomi
nees and the great achievements of
the Democratic congress and “that
matchless patriot, satesman and hero.
Woodrow Wilson.’’ This statement
of Mr. Walker drew yells and cheers
from his audience. ,

Watson in Atlanta
i
ATLANTA, Sept. 3.—Thomas E.
Watson, candidate for the United
States senate, was greeted upon his
appearance in Atlanta at the audi
torium last ni,,kt by several thousand
persons.
Mr. Watson’s address opened ap
proximately upon schedule, and he
launched into his usual line of at
tack and defense that has been heard

in Georgia for years past. His
voice and stage appearance, however,
lacked the fire and vim that marked
the stumping of the “Sage of Mc-
