Georgians:
Be fair enough to read and con
sider these facts before casting
your vote on September 12 th—
Nat Harris’ Statesmanship is undoubted in view
of his years of valuable service in the Legislature.
Nat Harris’ Business Ability is proven by the fact
that he was the first Governor who ever instituted
an audit of the State’s books.
N&t Harris’ Courage exhibited itself wheh he
wore his grey uniform, and it was there for all to
see when he signed the Prohibition Acts in the face
of opposition and threats.
Nat Harris’ Devotion to Education founded the
Georgia School of Technology, and, during his ad
ministration, resulted in the teachers of tne state
being paid promptly for the first time in the his
tory of Georgia.
Nat Harris’ Fight for the W. & A. R. R., is pos
itive evidence of where he stands on the L. & N.’s
effort to destroy the state’s most valuable asset.
The L. & N. is against Harris,—there’s a reason!
Nat Harris’ Stand for Prohibition consisted in
positive action.—Anybody can talk.
Nat Harris’ Ability as Governor cannot be dis
puted after over a year of honest and able service
in that capacity. Harris is not an experiment.
Nat Harris’ Health and Vigor need no defense
after his whirlwind campaign over the state.
. Democratic precedent demands that a Governor of Geor
gia be given two terms unless he shows himself incapable or
dishonest. No man in this state can conscientiously prefer
either of these charges against this grand old man.
A vote against Governor Harris is a breach in the firm foun
dation of Democratic precedent; it is a deliberate slur upon Pro
hibition; and it is an unwarranted insult to a man who learned
how to fight for this state when he shouldered his gun in the
sixties/'and who has continued to fight for Georgia in other
capacities in every one of the fifty years that have followed.
Georgians: Consider this Governor’s race
calmly. Put passion and prejudice be
hind you. Think just what issues are in
volved. Resolve to do the right thing,
the square thing, and cast a vote for your
friend, the tried and true friend of the en
tire state,—NAT HARRIS.
