TARVERS HOME FOLKS
SHOW THEY FAVOR HIM.
Dalton, Ga., Aug. 30. —“Tarver's
Home Folks Are for Him.” Banners
bearing these words were affixed to 22
■automobiles that left here, loaded with
100 loyal friends of the Dalton candi
date for the judgeship, Monday morn
ing, the crowd going to Calhoun, where
Mr. Tarver was scheduled to speak at
the noon recess of superior court.
Enrotue, the occupants of the cars
passed farmers, many of whom yelled
“Hurrah, for Tarver!” and in Calhoun
scores of }eop]e surrounded the auto
mobiles to tell the Dalton people that
Gordon county also was for Tarver.
Big Demonstration.
It was a fitting demonstration for
Hon. M. C. Tarver from his home peo
ple,, and showed the absolute falsity of
the statements that have gone forth
that the “Dalton gamblers” are behind
his campaign; for in the crowd were
ministers of the gospel, lawyers, doc
tors, bankers, farmers, mill hands, car
penters, dentists, merchants —in fact
practically every walk in life was rep
resented and the crowd, to a man, fa-

WHY CHANGE GOVERNORS?
Governor Harris: Confederate Sol
dier; Jurist; Christian Gentle
man; Statesman.
Shall We Dishonor Such a
Man, a Man Who Has
Done His Duty, By Fail
ing to Re-elect Him?
Your Governor, the Governor of
every man, woman and child in i
Georgia, is on trial and stands before
the people of a state that he has loved
and served for half a century. He j
asks that they re-elect him to the
office of Governor, one which for a
frear now he has held honestly, fear
essly and conscientiously; asks them
only to do for him what Democratic
precedent has made a custom in
Georgia—to give to every Governor
four years and which is now advo
cated by the majority of the candi
dates running.
Will you reject a man whose ex
perience and ability as an abie jurist,
and whose long and valuable service
in the legislature amply qualify him
for the position?
Is it wise to substitute now an in
experienced man, one who has never
been tried as Governor, for one who
has consistently devoted every day
for over a year to the position?
Can you afford to neglect a man
who has carried on a splendid busi
ness administration, and who, for the
first time in history, had a thorough
audit made tf the state’s books, thus
establishing a precedent for efficient
management of the state’s funds?
Can you conscientiously dispense
with the services of a man whose
work on the Western & Atlantic Rail
road Commission makes him best
able to handle the present crisis that
has arisen with respect to this, the
state’s greatest asset?
Can you afford to help defeat a
man who has thus far successfully
fought the L. & N.’s efforts to destroy
the W. & A. R. R. property? Don’t
be deceived about the opposition to
your Governor.
Can you deliberately hurt the man
who established the Georgia School
of Technology and is still Chairman of
the Board of Trustees; who is a Trustee
of the University of Georgia (his alma
mater) and of the Wesleyan Female
College, and has always been a leader
in Georgia’s educational progress?
Can you reflect on a man who has
paid the school teachers of the state
promptly and is doing so now for the
first time in the history of Georgia,

vors the candidacy of Mr. Tarver.
On reaching Calhoun the crowd was
greeted with good-natured saJKes from
scones of Gordon county supporters of
Mr. Tarver. *‘Oh, you crooks and
gamblers,” was yelled out, but many in
the crowd insisted that there were
some fairly decent looking men in the
“gang.”
Eleven to One for Tarver.
One man approached a representa
tive of The Citizen. He was a farmer,
and he stated that the termers of G>r
don were for Tarver -not all of them,
but a majority. "Last week,” he said,
there were twelve of us together. 1
asked 'if there .were any Fite men in
the crowd. One man said he was for
Fite, and the other'eleven expressed
themselves for Tarver.” That Mr. Tar
ver's friends are working for him was
evidenced by another man who ap
proached The Citizen man and asked
that Tarver be pointed out to him. “I
am going to vote for him,” he said,
“and I w ant to see what he looks like.”
Crowd for Tarver.
Owing to ‘he fact that Judge Harbin
spoke immediately after court recessed
for dinner, Mr. Tarver didn’t begin
the common schools of Georgia than
any other has ever done before?
Do you think for a moment that
there can be any truth in the mali
cious charges against the courage and
backbone of a man who fought glo
riously for the South, and who made
the Prohibition acts possible in the
face of tremendous opposition and
threats ?
Will you deny to Georgia the priv
ilege of having as her Governor, for
the last time, a man who honored his
gray uniform beneath the grand old
stars and bars of the Confederacy?
We do not believe that you can say
“yes” to any of these questions. We
believe that you and thousands of
other patriotic Georgians, will honor
your state, your governor and your
selves by voting for Governor Harris.

speaking until about 12:30 o’clock,
and he talked about one hour. He
B]>oke from the steps of the court
house, as the courtroom would not
hold the crowd that wanted to hear
hm. There were approximately 500
people around the court house to hear
the. speech.
In the beginning, a few Fite sympa
thizers joined m when the crowd ap
plauded by yelling “Hurrah, for Fite!”
This was kept up for a time; but they
con tired of it, and toward the close
oi the s|>eech the applause was of the
spontaneous kind, and the majority of

speaker.
T. W. HARBIN SPEAKS
AT CARTERSVILLE.
Thomas \Y. Harbin, accompanied by
a brass band, spoke at Cartersville last
Saturday afternoon in the west side
park in the interest of his candidacy
for congress.
Mr. Harbin made six addresses dur
ing the day, starting in at Adairsville
at 8 o’clock, at Kingston at 10 o’clock,
a l Cartersville at 2 o’clock, at Acworth,
at Kennesaw and closing at Marietta
a; 8 o’clock.
Upon his arrival in Cartersville Mr.
Harbin expressed a desire to speak in
the park and perhaps two hundred
v'ere present to hear his speech and t:>
give him welcome. He dwelt, upon the
propositiotf to establish a government
hydrate plant here through the devel
opment of the water i>ower plant above
Cartersville, and upon a signed circular
issued by R. J. L. Richardson, an appli
cant for the Dalton postoftice who
failed to get the appointment, in
which Richardson attacks Mr. Lee’s
character for sobriety and temperance.
The band played a number of sefec
tiions, after which Mr. Harbin went
oi. his way to fill other speaking en
gagements for which he had been
billed.
