Hardwick Challenges Walker
To Series Os Joint Debates
Names Judge Howard and W. J. Vereen to Act
For Him In Arranging Meetings—Walker
Makes Statement
ATLANTA, September 17.—A challenge to Clifford Walker to meet
him in a series of joint debates and a statement outlining the issues of
the run-over campaign for governor, were issued yesterday by Thomas W.
Hardwick, following the action by the sub-committee or rules of the Dem
ocratic state executive committee sustaining the action of the Decatur
county executive committee in throwing out the Hardwick contest.
The statement issued by Mr. Hard
wick is as follows:
“To the People of Georgia:
“Final and offical returns now
make it certain that a second pri
mary for governor will be necessary.
In the primary ’of September 8 1
carried 79 counties with 190 county
unit votes, lacking only four votes
of the number necessary to nominate.
Mr. Walker, my opponent, carried 69
counties with a county unit vote ot
174. In county unit votes 1 lead Mr.
Walker by 16 votes and in popular
Vote by substantially 8,000 votes.
“In addition to the counties giv
en my by the official returns, I firm
ly believe that I also carried the
county of Decatur, with four unit
votes j if so, 1 was nominated in the
first primary with 194 county unit
votes. In Decatur county I sought
to prove, before the county commit
tee, that forty-one illegal votes were
cast for Mr. Walker, and that the
county, which is credited to him by
a plurality of ten votes, really went
for me by a plurality of thirty-one
votes. The local committee m De
catur county, by a vote of seven to
six, arbitrarily refused to allow me
to present this proof, dismissing the
proceedings on purely technical
grounds, which action was sustained
on appeal by the sub-committee of
the Democratic state committee, and
by these two rulings I am deprived
of the hearing on the merits ot this
county. , . .
Charge* Irregularities.
“In Bartow county, after I nad
carried the county outside of Car
tersville, one of the election man
agers at the Cartersville box, who
was a supporter of Mr. Walker, se
cured an adjournment of the count
until the next morning, and then
took the ballots in his pocket to the
office of one of Mr. Walker’s lead
ing supporters and managers, and
met that gentleman and Mr. Walk
er’s brother-in-law in a conference
that lasted some time. The next
morning this manager ire-appeared
with what he claimed were the same
ballots, and the count y as ’resumed
with the final result that I lost Bar
tow county, so far as the returns
show, and so far as proof can be

• ent, Mr. Walker, there were also
gross irregularities at the polls. At
the Monroe box the polls were re-
r opened twice after the hour fixed
• by law for them to close, and after,
. in fact, they had been closed. I re
-1 ceived a substantial plurality in Wal
' ton county outside of Monroe.
i “These circumstances, coupled
. with many other more or less sus
; picious instances, convince me that
■on a fair count I really won the
nomination in the primary of the
• eighth, but as the official returns
stand, it will be necessary to have
■ a second primary. Under the law
■ and under the rules of the state
■ committee, the date of this primary
■ has already been fixed for Wednes
day, October 6, 1920.
Thank* Supporter*.
• “I desire to thank my friends ev
erywhere in Georgia for their splen
did and loyal support of the great
1 principles at issue in this contest,
and to assure them of my deep per-
■ sonal appreciation and gratitude for
1 their support. This great fight for
• the re-establishment of American
fundamentals in Georgia is only half
won, and I summon every real Demo-
1 crat and every true American in
1 Georgia to the firing line for service
I from now until the polls close and
the votes are counted on October 6.
■ Every friend of the principles for
■ which I stand is urged to be active
1 and viligant and to do all in his pow
er for the cause in order that we
may make the final victory on Octob-
I er 6 certain and conclusive.
“The State of Georgia needs a
house-cleaning. We do not need
1 another governor of the Howell dy-
■ nasty. Mr. Walker’s plurality is of
• little consequence or importance in
1 this contest. The overthrow of the
! ring which at present controls our
state affairs in Georgia is important
1 and must be accomplished. To the
’ accomplishment of that I purpose I
1 summon the Democracy of Georgia.

-1 tion to Mr. Walker inviting him to

primary between us necessary, and
since you have been reported by the
press as assailing in your public
speeches my official record, my

own official acts and wish to do so
in your presence and to your face,
I hereby respectively invite you to
meet me in a series of at least six

friends. „ „ „ j
