OPPOSES INCREASE OF TAXES,
RAPS OPPONENTS, SCORES
MEN WHO TRIED TO PUSH
HIM OUT OF RACE.
Scoring his opponents on their
public records and criticising Clark
Howell, of the Atlanta Constitution,
for trying to force him out of the
race for governor, John N. Holder,
speaker of the house of representa
tives, spoke in Dawson Saturday
morning to a representative audience
of Terrell county voters. He was in
troduced by Dr. O. G. Cranford,
representative in the legislature.
In his appeal to thc voters Mr.
iio der toos up the issces of the
campaign, which he asserted are be
mg dodged by the other candidates.
In® cpeaking of Walter Brown, Mr.
Hever said he didn’t known any
thing about him .and had not read
his platform. He declared . that
Hardwick had started out on a na
tional platform without any state is
sues but now he is running on a
platform of abuse.
The speaker was probably more se
vcre in nis eriticismz against Mr.
Welker than he was against Mr.
Hardwick. He declared that the
former attorney general had given
the governor an opinion which said
that the collection of the back taxes
was legal and then asked the gover
yor not to use his name in connec
tion with the collection of the taxes
as it might hurt him in the race for
£overnor.
The speaker reiterated his state
ment that he will withdraw from
the race if Clark Howeil would
withdraw Dorsey from the senatorial
race. Mr. Holder said the saddest
part of the campaign was the de
sertion of him by W. T. Anderson,
a former friend who had promised
to support hrm. Mr. Holder’s state
ment was greeted with applause.
“It has never been the case in
Georgia, and let us hope 1t will nev
er be, that any maa or group Ofl
men can assume a dictatorship over!

- Judge George Hillyer, veteran Georgian, who helped
save the state from the rigors of reconstruction, and
who served on the State Railroad Commission with
Commissioner Paul B. Trammell for many years, has
written a public letter in which he commends Mr. Tram
mell’s candidacy for re-election, and says:
“I know of your fidelity and wisdom in handling
every problem coming before the body.”
Judge Hillyer further declares:
“I know that it will be in the best interests of the
state and all concerned that you should be re-elected,
especially in the crisis of new and difficult problems
in these trying times and the world-wide dangers with
which our people are now confronted. I earnestly
trust that the pdple of the state will give their verdict
in your favor.”

candidates for any political office,”
said Mr. Holder.
Letter From Anderson,
“Mr. Howell and Mr. Anderson,
who have always professed to be my
warm friends, have attempted my
political assassination by a stab in
the back because it suits their politi
cal schemes. Let me read you a let
ter written to me by this same W.
T. Anderson on August sth, of this
vear-—only three weeks ago.
Here Mr. Holder read the letter
in question in which Mr. Anderson
declared that if there was to be
any withdrawal in the governorship
race it should be Clifford Walker,
as he was the weakest candidate
against Thomas W. Hardwick. The
reading of the letter brought con
siderable applause.
“These gentlemen express great
anxiety that there shall be no divi
sion of the vote in opposition to
Thomas W. Hardwick, whom they
characterize as the enemy of the
democratic party. If they are so de
sirous of party harmony, why do
they not take their own advice and
endeavor te compose the situatiorn
in the senatorial race?
“They put Governor Dorsey in the
'race as a last minucte entry and the
result is that he is dividins the dem
ocratic vote against Thomas E. Wat
son. Let them withdraw Governor
Dorsey and bring about hadmony inf
the senatorial race and I stand ready
to step down and out in the gover
ship race. But it must be donel
promptly; otherwise, I am in the
fight to the finish. I made this prop-i
osition several days ago and Gov-,
ernor Dorsey, speaking, I presume
for Mr. Howell, declined to with
draw. That puts the case in plainl
and simple terms—Mr. Howell and
Mr. Anderson are trying to sacrifice!
me for their own political interests
and nothing else. |
“I will tell you what’s the mat
ter,” he continued, “they think it
doesn’t matter much to put a man on
the altar, and I am willing for a pa
triotic reason to be placed on the
altar and to become an Isaac, but,
my God, when I am put there I want
to be put there by an Abraham and
not by a Howell.”
Business Administration. |
In discussing his candidacy, Mr. '
Holder said if elected governor he
will give the people of the state an
economical administration. He de
clared that every one should practice
economy at this time and the state
should set the example. Taxes, he
declared should not be increased but
if possible some relief should be
given to the taxpayers of Georgia.
Mr. Holder said he stood for good
schools, good homes and prosperity.
“Everywhere I have spoken and in
letters I have written, I have stated,
and I wish to repeat here today, that
I am positively and unalterably op
posed to the addition of one single
penny more tax on the property of
our people that is already bearing
its full and fair share of the expens
es of the state. I have stood and shall
continue to stand like a Gibraltar
rock against any increase in our
constitutional tax rate of 5 mills.
“There are other better and fair
er anethods of meeting and solving
Georgia’s financial problems. There
are measures now pending in the
general- assembly which, if enacted
into law, will give us ample funds
to take better care of our common
schools, keep them open longer, pro
vide better pay for our teachers, and
better pensions for our heloved Con
federate soldiers. I have urged and
pleaded for the enactment of these
measures which will provide the
state with added income, not from
an increase upon your home or your
farm, Hut from a vast amount of in
visible property now carefully hid
den from the tax collector. Geor
gia can and should get the money
she needs from this source, and if
she does it would probably mean a
reduction in the taxes now imposed
upon the lands and the homes and
t}]:e household belongings of our peo
.ple.
“Mr. Walker has been going over
the state making speeches against
the bolsheviks,” said the speaker.
“l have visited more than a hun
dred counties in Georgia and to date
I have not run across a single bol
shevik. Are there any bolsheviks in
this audience? If there are, let them
please stand up; I want to take
down their names.”
Criticises Hardwick.
“Mr. Hardwick began his cam-
paign for governor of Georgia sole
ly upon national issues, and he ran
on this until he found that the peo
ple of Georgia could not see how
these national issues had anything to
do with the governorship. Then he
launched a campaign of vitupera
tion, calumny and bitterness against
those who do not agree with him.
Mr. Hardwick is certainly paying a
dear price for the privilege of run
ning for governor—the filling of
his -heart and very soul with intense
animosity and consuming antipathy
of his fellowman. I rejoice that I
have no animosity against any mor
tal. I could be fair and just to ev
ery one as governor of this great
commonwealth, and I would be ab
solutely as fair to every individual
and to every legitimate interest of
this state as I have shown during
my term as presiding officer of the
house of representatives.
“In one of his speeches he asks
where I stand on national questions.
My reply is that on national ques
tions I stand for the democratie tick
et and the democratic principles
enunciated by the representatives of
the party at San Francisco. Can he
say as much? He is running as a
democrat, and yet he is fighting bit
terly the platform of his, party.
“Mr. Hardwick, in every speech
that he makes, is charging that
somebody is dominating the politics
of Georgia; that there is ring-rule,
and that he is going to change the
situation; that when he is elected he
is going to turn out all these fel
lows and put his own men in. He
says that the first thing he is going
to do is to get a new broom and
that he is going to sweep out of of
fice every office holder in Georgia
from the mountains to the sea. Tell
me whether or not that isn’t ring
rule? Tell me, fellow citizens,
whether or not: that isn’t one-man
government? :
“What Has Walker Done?”
“What does Mr. Walker, my oth- |
er opponent, propose for the people
of Georgia? ‘Has he taken a single
position on state or national issues?
He does not tell you where he stands
except that he is in favor of good
schools, good roads and good homes.
But what has he ever done to ob
tain for you any of these things?
He does not tell you that I was the
author of the bill that placed the
convicts on the roads-and gave the
impetus for good roads in the state
of Georgia. He does not tell you
that the legislature, of which I was
a member, and in which I aided to
the best of my ability, has worked
out_and presented to the people of
Georgia a plan by which our state
will have as good roads as any oth
er state in the union. He does not
tell you that the legislature is now
giving one-half of the entire reve
nue of the state to the support of
the common schools, and in addi
tion has submitted to the people of
Georgia, for their ratification, laws
which will give longer terms for the
common schools, better pay for its
teachers, and establish rural high
schools in every community. He says
that he is in favor of good homes,
but he does not tell you how to ob
tain them, but rather says that he
is in favor of a return to the nor
mal conditions which existed before
the great world war, when cotton
was selling at from 6 to 7 cents a
pound, and in many sections of the
state could not be sold at all.
state could not be sold at all.”
Mr. Holder read a letter from Mr.
Walker to one of the governor’s
special tax collectors in which he
asked the®collector not to mention
him in connection with the matter,
as it would hurt his candidacy.
At the conclusion of the speech
many friends crowded around the
candidate to shake his hand and
pledge him their support.
Mrs. Holder came to Dawson with
Speaker Holder. She is accompany
ing her husband on his tour of this
section of the state.
