Democracy or Autocracy?
The entrance of the United
States into the war has greatly
emphasized the conflict between
the two theories of government
that are thus arrayed against each
other. In fact, the result can not
but be regarded as a triumph for
the form of government that tri
umphs. *
The supp rters of monarchy
have always contended that an
executive exercising arbitrary
power was Wronger than the head
of a representative government.
The supporters of democracy have
disputed this and believed with
the historian, Bancroft, that re
publics are the stronger because,
“discarding the implements of ter
ror 4 , they dare to build their cita
del in the hearts of men.”
Bancroft is right; and we must,
by winning this war, establish the
superiority of the form of govern
ment under which we live and
which we commend to other na
tions as the one worthy to become
the world’s model. VVe can not
afford to allow this war to so end
that the historian of the future
will say, “A kaiser was better able
to mobilize the resources of an
empire than a president and con
gress were the resources of a
republic,” or tint “The oppressed
subjects ot an ambitious emperor
were more loyal to that govern
ment than the free citizens of the
world’s great-est republic were to
theirs.”
History will not contain so mel
ancholy a page because the peo
ple of the United States wall con
tinue to respond, as they have in
the past, to every appeal made by
the government and by the vol
untary organizations that aid it in.

PLEDGED TO PRESIDENT
AND NATION, H. H. DEAN
ANNOUNCES PLATFORI
Gainesville, Ga., May 25, 1918.
To the People of Georgia:
Never in the history of Georgia,
nor of the world, have such momentous
issues arisen as now meet our people
face to face.
The greatest war ever known has
been raging for nearly four years. Mil
lions upon millions of people have been
killed and crippled, and thousands are
daily being added to the list of killed
and wounded. In the past twelve
months our country has been drawn
into the fearful holocaust; an army of
over two millions of our noblest sons
has been called to arms and another
million are now being assembled. Al
ready our Government has called upon
our people for ov°r ton billions of
aoLars, an amount never dreamed of
in all wars of history. Our people
have responded without stint and
without murmur; our boys have gone
bravely forward to defend our flag,
and bring freedom and liberty to the
civilized world.
In this crisis a political situation has
arisen, calling upon Georgia to choose
for herself from among her citizens
a man to represent hem in the United
States Senate, the highest position in
the gift of .the people of Georgia.
Hardwick an Obstructor.
Word has gone out broadcast over
this entire country that she present
incumbent, T. W. Hardwick, has been
obstructing in every .vay possible the
furfheran 'and successful prosecu
tion of this war by opposing and in
delaying and hindering, by dilatory
tactics, the passage of the most im
portant and vital legislation demanded
by extreme conditions to hasten mili
tary supplies, necessary guns and am
munition and food to our army on the
battle line.
I boldly assert that Georgia i
standing the acid test of loyalty and
valor; in fact, there has been no is
sue of “loyalty” in Georgia since t v
declaration of war, except ueh as has
been feigned by unscrupulous politi
cians hoping to ride into office on the
popularity and greatness of others.
Georgia and her citizens stand stead
fast and at the forefront for the speedy
and victorious winning of the war,
with every dollar and, if need be, every
life pledged to this end.
In asking the suffrage of the people
of Georgia for this high office, I pledge
myself to stand firmly and steadfast
ly by President Wilson as commander
in-chief of the army and navy until
final victory, and will heartily support
such measures as tend to strengthen
the army and navy and promote the
great object of bringing about an ear
ly, successful and lasting peace.
After the War Is Over.
1. I favor restoration of our coun
try on broad and constructive lines and
in continuing in full force the Monroe
Doctrine.
2. The great shipping interests of
our country should be extended until
our flag sails into every port, carry
ing both our farm and manufacture
products where the best market prices
can be obtained. *
Our Georgia ports should be extend
ed; our farms improved; our state de
veloped; our in Jus ries enlarged tha.
every vocation may thrive and pros
per.
I favor wise and salutary laws for
the protection of the farmer and his
products; laws that will provide money
at a low rate of interest and fertil
izers and supplies at reasonable cost
it the soil may yield a good return!

Conserve Now.
Washington, May 30. —To save
materials and labor for necessary
war purposes, President Wilson
has appealed to Americans “to
buy only those things which are
essential to the individual health
and efficiency,” and to volunteer
on or before June 28, National
Thrift Day, to invest systematical
ly in war savings and thrift st nips
or other government securities.
“This war is one of nations —
not of armies,” says the president,
“and all of our 100,000.000 people
must be economicaiiy and indus
trialiy adjusted to war conditions,
if this nation is to piay its full part
in the conflict.
This great result which we seek
can be obtained only by the par
ticipation of every member of the
natio- , young and old, in a
national concerted thrift mnv, -
meat I, therefore urge that our
people, everywhere, pledge them
selves to the practice of thrift; to
serve the government to their ut
most in increasing production in
ali fields necessary to the winning
of the war; to conserv food and
fuel, and useful materials of every
kind; to devote their labor only to
so as to meet the needs of the s
farmer.
Opposes Cotton Price Fixing
Our Southland is the one great coi
ton producing section and this indus
try should be foster \i and built up to
a profitable basis an 1 the price regu
lated only by the law of supply and
demand. 1 am opposed to limiting its
price by legislation.
3. That the money already provid
ed by the government for Georgia
highways, which through technicali
ties has not been made available,
should be speed, y obtained and grad
ed roads constructed throughout the
entire state.
4. Provide for labor in all branches,
just and adequate compensation that
all engaged therein may receive ample
compensation enabling them to i v >
comfortably and raise and educate
their children to useful and prosperous
pursuits.
5. Provide for the education of peo
ple living in the country on the same
basis of efficiency as those in the cit
ies, and put the power of the federal
government behin i a nation-wide edu
cational uplift.
6. I am opposed to indiscriminate
foreign inamigr.ition and behove that
America should be preserved for out

13. I favor 1 esty and integrity

money, liquor og the promise of office
