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 Can reflect progress? who has paid the you school on a man teachers of the state promptly and is doing so now for the first time in the history ef Georgia, s Governor who ha* fought more for ~........ r-autx ... -> : v ,.
