Mr. Walker
Is A Farce
And Failure
AS ATTORNEY GENERAL HE HAD
TO HIRE OUTSIDE HELP—A
SQUANDERER OF STATE FUNDS.
A vote for Clifford Walker is a
vote to perpetuate the Howell ring.
He is their choice for Governor, hand
picked by them and “nominated” by
Albert Howell’s barbecue, staged for
that purpose.
They will control him if he is elec¬
ted. the same as they have controlled
Governor Dorsey throughout liis ad¬
ministration. almost bankrupting the
State Treasury. Albert Howell. Clif¬
ford Walker and Governor Dorsey
concocted the scheme to send a so
called “tax collectors" over tl) e State,
without authority of law, brow-beat¬
ing and bull-dozing honest merchants
into pavpig illegal tobacco tax.
Clifford Walker and Albert Howell
concocted the scheme to “employ Al¬
bert Howell to collect inheritance
taxes in Fulton county, contracting to
pay him a fat commission from mon¬
ey that belonged to the State for
rendering no service whatsoever.
When forced by publicity to defend
this scheme, Walker claimed for i
rh 0 approval of Governor Harris and
Comptroller-General Wright. They
promptly repudiated any knowledge
of or connection with it.
Clifford Walker was it failure and a
farce as attorney-general, spending
most of bis time making campaign
speeches over tb state, nearly always
absent when h,, was wanted in the
Capitol, never able to try an Impor¬
tant case for the State without assis¬
tance from a lawyer engaged at extra
expense to the State, squandering
thousands of dollars of the State's
money in the publication of elaborate¬
ly printed “annual reports” which
contained no information or advice of
the slightest value to any Stat t House
officer or the public.
Clifford Walker's money, supplied
by his rich father, and the Howell
ring have put him wlieiy he is. If
you want a (Governor who will take
his orders from Albert Howell, vote
for Walker. If you want a new deal
and clean, honest polities, coupled
with a free and independent business
administration of your State's affiairs,
vote for Hardwick.
