CAIRO, GRADY COUNTY, GEORGIA, MARCH 12th 1916.
Speak
Senator Hardwick to
at Moultrie.
We notice that Senator Hard
wick is to make a speech at
Moultrie in defense of the posi
tion he took upon the “ship pur
chase bill.” He needs no de
fense before Democrats as he
voted their doctrine. They do
not believe in government owner
ship. However he may need some
defense before the Progressive
party. Moultrie is the proper
place Jo make his defence as
Colquitt county is rather progres
sive. Hardwick Claims to be
what they are pleased to call a
Progressive Democrat, but the
people of Colquitt come right out
in the open and honestly admit
that they are Progressives with
out any prefix or affix and went
to the polls at the last election
and demonstrated that they were
truly Progressives.
Mr. Hardwick, however has no
claim upon the Colquitt Progres
sives. They do not bclii ve in
prefixes. These prefixes and af
fixes are very confusing, if not
contaminating and will get a fel-
‘ low just where he nor no one else
: know where he is at. The Sena
tor with his prefix and vehement
assertions seems to be in the mid
dle of a bad fix. You can’t hold
with the hounds and run with
1 the hare at the same time., The
majority of the voters of Col
. quitt county are frank and hoh
est enough to admit openly that
they are Progressive|withoutany
prefix or affix and if a fellow
espouses that faith andforder he
certainly ought to be henest.
enough, and man enough, toster
right out to the front and say so.
You cannot mix two different
political parties with any prefix,
affix or subterfuge without losing
the identy of both. Be a genuine
Democrat ,or j-i-n-e the other
crowd like the honest people of
Colquitt.
