WHY CHANGE GOVERNORS?
Governor Harris: Confederate Sol¬
dier; Jurist; Christian Gentle¬
man; Statesman.
Shall We Dishonor Such a
Man, a Man Who Has
Done His Duty, By Fail¬
ing to Re-elect Him?
Your Governor, the Governor of
every man, woman and child in
the Georgia, is on trial and stands before
and people of a state that he has lo- ed
served for half a century. He
asks that they re-elect him to the
office of Governor, one which for a
year now he has held honestly, fear¬
only lessly and conscientiously; asks them
to do for him what Democratic
precedent has made a custom in
four Georgia—to give to every Governor
years and which is now advo¬
cated by the majority of the candi¬
dates running.
Will you reject a man whose ex
perience and ability »bf“ as an able jurist,
and whose long and valuable service
in the legislature amply qualify him
for the position?
Is it __________________________... wise to substitute now an in
experienced man, one who has never
been tried as Governor, for one who
has consistently devoted every day
for over a year to the position ?
Can you afford to neglect a man
who has carried on a splendid busi
ness first administration, in history, and who, for the
time had a thorough
audit made of ‘ the ‘ state's books, thus
establishing a precedent for efficient
management of the state’s funds?
Can you conscientiously dispense
with the services ef a man whose
work on the Western & Atlantic Rail¬
road Commission makes him best
able to handle the. present crisis that
has arisen with respect to this, the
state’s greatest asset?
Can ___ VL- you afford T_ra -u. to vw help M defeat a
man who has thus far successfully
fought the L. & N.’s efforts to destroy
the W. & A. R. R. property? Don’t
be deceived about the opposition to
your Governor.
Can you deliberately hurt the man
who established the Georgia School
of Technology and is still Chairman of
the Board of Trustees; who is a Trustee
of the University of Georgia (his alma
mater) and of the Wesleyan Female
in College, Georgia’s and educational has always been a leader
