12 PAGES TODAY VOL. 2 VOTERS 6IV.EN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS SENATORIAL CHOICE Issues'for Which Three Of Candidates Stand Are Clearly Set Forth -Result of Poll Will Be Published. Ir ->-der to ascertain the sentiment o f tow county in advance of the election, tie Tribune-News has set out below hree coupons whereby vot ers among the readers of this paper will be given an opportunity to ex press iheir choice among the candi dates for Senator and thereby show effect of his vote. Each citizen will read tie coupons, which, by ‘filling out the on? of his choice and signing and sending to the Tribune, will reflect not only his pres ent intention but what the effect of his contemplated vote will be. It is the purpose of the Tribune to publish a list of those names next week who have signed coupons, cut out and return to this news paper, and it is believed that they will be largely and generally signed. The candidates themselves represent issues and stand for certain principles. The voters therefore should have no hesitancy in declaring where he stands. If he believes himself to be right he will doubtless conclude that his pub lished declaration to that effect will assist the candidate for whom he in tends to vote. Those who sign the coupon declaring an intention to vote For ffm. J. Har ris will unhesitatingly declare thei IF YOU INTEND TO VOTE FOR WILLIAM J. HARRIS tCut out coupon below, sign and return to Tribune-News.) I hereby subscribe my name as a supporter of William .1. Harris for United States Senator in the coming Primary. I believe that we should follow the leadership of Woodrow Wilson and his suggestion that all those who are jealous of “the success of the Government in the present crisis' should combine in the support of Mr. Harris. I believe that he knows better the qualifications of the various candidates whcr are seeking the positions and tliat we should place in positions around him, only those in vhom he has confidence. Post Office Address IF YOU INTEND TO VOTE FOR THQMAS W. HARWICK (Cut out coupon below, sign and return to Tribune-News.) I hereby subscribe my name as a supporter of Thomas W. Hardwick for United States Senator in the coming Primary. I believe he should be elected rtotwithstanding he voted against the Parcels Post Bill, the Pvegional Bank Bill, Ship Purchase Bill, the Nitrate Bill, and the Adamson 8-hour Bill, as well as the Selective Service Bill, Sedition Bill, and offered an amendment to prohibit sending drafted men out side of the United States, voted against the Food Control Bill, the Rail road Control Bill, and the Wire Control Bill, the latter measures limited * to the duration of the war, notwithstanding he voted for the resolution to declare war on Germany. I believe he should be elected, notwithstand ing his opposition to the President and nine-tenths of the membership of the Senate to which he belongs. % Post Office Address IF YOU INTEND TO VOTE FOR WILLIAM SCHLEY HOWARD (Cut out coupon below, sign and return to Tribune-News.) 1 hereby subscribe my name as a supporter of William Schley Howard for United States Senator in the coming Primary. 1 do so after know ledge of the fact that Mr. Howard sought an interview with the Presi dent to talk over the matter of his entering the race for the Senate from rrgia, and that in the interview the President told Mr. Howard that hoped that the loyal vote would not be divided and that his choice was William J. Harris, and Mr. Howard then promised the President that he would support Mr.. Harris becouse he was the President's choice and would stump the state for him. I, nevertheless, support Mr. Howard, although he afterwards repudiated his promise made to the President, and later vouched for the truth of the publication in the Atlanta consti tution, that President Wilson would be neutral as bettveen candidates running against Senator Hardwick and pegnitted this publication to stand uncorrected (though it placed the President in a false light) until called upon to do so by the President himself. I support Mr. Howard, notwithstanding Woodrow 'Wilson has lately advised the people of Goorgia in precisely the same terms he advised Mr. Howard four months ago, which was to combine in the support of Mr. Harris against Thomas W. Hardwick. ' Post Office Address THE BARTOW TRIBUNE (TRIBUNE VOL 8, NO. 25 selves to be the followers of President Wilson and anxious to acknowledge his leadership in time of war, both for the good of the governmnet as well as the welfare of the Democratic party. Those who declare, themselves for Thos. W. Hardwick will thus make known before all men their earnest j conviction and belief that *Senator Hardwick was right in opposing the ! President and the administration in both pre-war as well as his post-war policies. Those who declare their intention to vote for William Schley Howard will declare their intention to vote for a i man whose candidacy they prefer in 1 spite of the expresed wish and advice of President Wilson, the leader of the Democratic Party, and that Mr. How ard was justified in making a promise and afterwards repudiating it and in sponsoring a publication which he de ; dined to corect until called upon to do I so by the President himself. These ; will likewise show their purpose to 1 express their choice independently of ! any expressed desire or advice of the I Presidnt and with the understanding I that they are willing for the loyal j vote of Georgia ,o be divided, rather j tnan to lose their chance- of voting i their preference. Since every man is assumed to be 5 conscientious in casting his vote he "will doubtless be willing to make : known to the world where he stands ; and thus express courage of conviction : and a desire to lend himself and his name to the cause of the candidate for whom he stands.

The hour for the speaking was orig ianlly fixed at 11 o’clock, but due to the destructive fire which broke out just at that hour in Cartersville, it was announced that Air. Burwell would speak at 2 o'clock. He was introduced by Judge George H. Aubrey, who took occasion to appeal to the loyal supoprters of the Govern ment to stand by the President and to follow his advice and to unite in the support of Wm. J. Harris. He highly commended Air. Burweli’s loyal and patriotic efforts in voluntarily stump ing the state for Mr. Harris. It would be impossible for any news paper to properly present to its read ers Mr. Burwell’s splendidd address. While displaying intense earnestness and a patriotic devotion to all inter ests of our Government at this time, Air. Burwell, without any display of partisan spirit, discussed the merits of the contending candidates for the U. S. Senatorship. He was particularly Impressive in his arraignment of Sen ator Hardwick's record and of his at titude with reference to that record and of the effect throughout the coun try of anything accidental or Inten tional which would lead to Mr. Hard wick’s return. He tfarmly championed the cause of Honorable Wm. J. Har ris, commending him to the audience as bne entitled to the utmost confi dence. He convincingly proved the (Continued to Page Twelve.) WM. S.

Townsend and he has accepted the N. A. White Makes Interesting Statement N. A. White, of R/dUI, candidate for re-election to the office ol county commis sioner, makes public the following facts, in order that certain rumors, set abroad by those who would do injury to his candidacy may be nailed, as nothing less than politi cal camouflage, and made solely in an ef fort to besmirch the good name and reputa tion of a worthy citizen of Bartow county: Ai the regular meeting of the County Comm't sioners last March, Mr. White was handed by Mr. George Gilreath, who, as County Clerk, had opened it, thinking it was official business, a plain white envel ope. addressed to “Nute White, Cartersville, Ga.. care G. H. Gilreath.” Inside this envelope, written on a leaf torn from a ledger, were the following words: “Cartersville. Ga., 1918. Mr. Nute White Unclosed find $387.00 this for stat and county tax have it applied to its place. 1 will also notify tbe tax collector of bartow co." There was no signature to this note, and the name of the sender is unknown to this day. Mr. White immediately examined the contents of the mysterious envelope, and found there were nine teen S2O bills, one $5 bill, and one $2 bill. He was greatly surprised, passed it around to his fellow com missioners, all of whom were as much in the dark as Mr. White. On the day the money was received by him, Mr White, at the advice and suggestion of the Board, placed the money in a safe-deposit box at the First National Bank, and county officials began a search of the records, to see if any such sum was due the County. The search was fruitless. Within a few weeks, a thrift stamp campaign was held in Bartow county, and the following statements will clarify the situation, as to what was dene with the money, and to show that the County of Bartow will receive full benefit, should the sender of the mys terious envelope not be found TO THE PEOPLE OF BARTOW COUNTY: We have heard that it is being charged that Mr. N. A. White has used the money sent him by some unknown person, with a note directing him to use this amount of money “in payment of my etat and (NEWS VOL 35 NO. 34) MANAGERS AND CLERKS FOR SEPTEMBER PRIMARY NAMED Particular Attention Is .
