CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
WAS GIVEN GOOD RECEP
TION BY FRIENDS HERE.
Former Senator Thomas W. Hard
wick spoke in Dawson Wednesday in
the interest of his candidacy for gov
ernor, and was heard by estimated at
from 250 to 300 people. It was evi
dent than many in the audience were
in sympathy with the speaker, who
was frequently interrupted by loud
and continued applause, Mr. Hard
wick was introducted by Hon. H. A,
Wilkinson.
Following a few introductory re
marks in which he outlined his speech
Senator Hardwick guve a strong pre
sentation of his views in defense of
the recent convention in Atlanta,
and followed this with a dcclaration‘
of the principles for which he stands
against his opponents. In condcmn-'
ing ‘“the one-man-power and auto-|
cratic rule in Georgia,” Mr. Hardwick |
said that he was glad ‘“the dark
night of autocracy was dawning into
a greater and brighter day.” = }
He condemned Rule X in the
league of nations and Rule X in the
rules of the state democratic com
mittee, stating that he did not like
“ten things.”
He stated that Rule X in the demo
cratic rules was responsible for mak
ing the *tail wag the dog in Georgia
politics, instead of the tail following
the dog, as it should.”
The speaker said that the trial
jury at the national convention in
San Francisco told him that their
delegation should have been seated
and that their cause was right, but
that after the Howell brothers
stirred the feeling of the members
against Watson 1t was impossible to
get them seated. |
The speaker strongly eriticized the‘
Constitution, Macon Telegraph and
Savannah Press, stating that they
were engaged in a selfish effort to
win a political contest.
“T am glad that Wilsen did not get
into control of the San Francisco
convention,” he said, “because its
nomination of a brave, independent
democrat like Cox saved the demo
cratic party from becoming a Wilson
party, and saved the traditional prin
ciples of the party.”
He said James M. Cox would run'
a better race than any other Demo
crat and it would be just because he |
does not stand for Wilson’s league
treaty in all its phases.
He answered charges that he was
not a demoerat by saying that he had
made more democratic speeches in
in doubtful states of the country
than any other ten men in the state.
“T hold the most conservative demo
cratic principles of any democrat who
has sat in the United States senate
for forty years,” he said. “It was
when I refused to go off into the
half-baked socialism of Woodrow
Wilson that the illustrious Kinf
Woodrow decided I was to be behead
ed. And if I had not continued to
think for myself and vote from the
dictates of my own conscience I
could be sitting up there in the seat
held by W. J. Harris.”
“Wilson and every person con
nected with the league .of nations
treaty had tried to surrender with
the pen what George Washington
won with the sword, I stand with
Thomas Jefferson, James Madison,
Jamse Monroe and Andrew Jackson.
“Whenever they call me a ‘red
they lie, and a blacker lie was never
spawned in hell. The last bill T ever
introduced in Congress was a bill ex
c/luding foreign immigrants for a
period of four years, and the last
ficht I led in the senate was to pass
the restricted immigration bill over
the veto of the president, and I
thanked God then and thank God now
that we won that fight.
“] was retained by Martens when
he told me that he was in America to
work to have the blockade placed
against Russia raised by the allied
governments, He told 'me he was
working to get food through to feed
starving Russian people, and I have
no reason to disbelieve his state
ment,” he said. “I was defending, as
a lawyer, Martens’ conduct in Amer-
Women !
Here is a message to
sufferinz women, from
Mrs. W. T Price, of
Publie, Ky.: “I suf

either Cliff Walker or I defend a
murderer that does not make us
murderers. If we defend a thief
that does not make us.thieves. The
worst criminal in this country is en
titled to counsel, because that is the
law in this country.”
Taking up various state issues he
said he wanted to prepare in Georgia
a real system of taxation which will
distribute the tax burden fairly
among the citizens. He said it is not
right to make the small property
owner pay heavy taxes and at the
same time let the large owner of
property escape.
He said if the “invisible” property
in Georgia were taxed properly it
would bring sufficient income to pro
vide for all the needs of the state and
at the same time® provide money
needed to increase the salaries of the
school teachers of the state.
“Under the plan that I propose the
state will be able to collect taxes on|
much property which is now escap
ing,” he said.
““At the same time I would not’
Idrive any capital out of the state.
About twenty other states have been
able to tax this invisible property and
there is no reason why Georgia
should not. Several attempts have
been made along this line but they
have not produced the results needed.
Some good bills have been intro
duced which are right in principle
and I propose when I am governor to
gee that these principles are carried
out.”
Mr. Hardwick also said one of the
greatest evils in Georgia is the prac
tice of the legislature in appropriat
ing money without making any pro
vision for raising it.
Mr. Hardwick said Georgia is in
the midst of a saturnalia of extrava
gance. He said a vast horde of
“ring tailed” politicians are sitting as
“ornaments” on boards of every kind
and the average citizen is paying
the bills.
“They are robbing Peter to pay
Paul and have done it so much that
ooth poor old Peter and poor old
Paul are broke. But lam going to
get a new broom in September and
when I am elected governor I am go
ing to sweep all these rascals out
from the mountains and the sea and
back again.”
“I am going to veto every appro
priation bill placed before me unless
the legislature has made some kind of
provision to raise funds to meet the
appropriation,” he said.
The candidate declared the time
has come for an eternal separation of
church and state, not only in Georgia
but throughout the country.
Referring to his opponents he
said, “Both are good fellows, and if
I knew anything bad about them I
would not tell you because I am not
making that sort of a fight. But
both of them are pussyfooters and
gumshoers. Really, I think any kind
of a man would come out and_ say
what he stands for, but you won’t get
any statement out of that pair. Well,
yvou need not worry. Georgia is
through with these little shetland
pony governors and is going to raise
the standard in the future.”
The closing remarks of Mr. Hard
wick were an outline of his platform,
approving free speech, free press,
preservation of the state rights and
good Jeffersonian demccracy “like
we were taught at mother’s knee.”
Mr. Hardwick said he was going to
sweep out a bunch of ornamental of
fice holders and commissioners when
he was elected governor. He said the
people of Georgia are suffering from
too many laws, ‘
Mr, Hardwick said he is not mak
ing the race for governor on
federal issues, He said ‘“‘the time has
come when the federal government is
saying what a man shall ea®, what
he shall wear, and what he shall and
shall not drink and any man who runs
for governor and says that federal
questions are not vital to the people
of Georgia is either a fool or takes
the people for fools.”
“We need more liberty and less
laws, rather than more laws and less
Jiberty,” he said. He denounced fed
eral control of state affairs and de
plored the conditions which have
arisen where good Georgia citizens
are being shot down in the enforce
ment of such laws, which he said are
surely encroachments on the right of
the states.
He stated that he wanted nothing
but justice at the polls, and that he
was no selfish, scheming politician,
and “no pussy-footer of the hand
shaking variety like my opponents.”
Mr. Hardwick went from Dawson
to Weston in the afternoon and snoke
there to an audience of 200 people.

IRAILROADS COST U. S.
I $100,000,000 IN APRIL
I Operation of Railroads Continues Big
Cost to Government, Only South
Showed a Credit.
A statement of railway earnings
and expenses for the moth of April,
compiled by the interstate commerce
’commission, shows that the govern
ment lost because of railroad opera
tion for that month approximately
$100,000,000. Only the south showed
an ol[‘;orations credit,
. The carriers themselves showed an
operations deficit of $25,881,485. To
this sum must be added the govern
ment guarantee, which amounts to
approximately $75,000,000 monthly,
or $904,000,000 per annum. This
guarantee, or rental, as it was called
during the period of government con
trol, was made by the former railroad
administration, and is effective until‘
Septefber 1 next. |
The fact that the roads showed a
deficit in operation for April, this de
ficit being the largest shown for any‘
month of the year, means a govern
ment outl_ay to meet the p:uarantee};
and deficit of more than $100,000,-
000 for the month. ;
