Georgia’s Next Governor
THE REASONS WHY:
John Holder is going to be Georgia’s next governor bo*
cause he is capable; because—
He is big, broadminded and FAIR; because—
He has served Georgia well for nineteen years aB legis
lator and for eight years as Speaker of the House of Repro- 1
sentatives; because—
•
He knows the conditions in Georgia and the State’s needs
as few others know them; because—
He is a man of the people — a farmer — a successful
fanner and business man, and—
THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA KNOW IT.
TRe-Atlanta Constitution and the Macon Telegraph got
together and simultaneously told John Holder to get out of
the race, in order that their candidate might be elected.
But he is in the race—in it to win—because—
The people throughout Georgia have declared they pro*
pose to decide this thing for themselves.
From' all over Georgia comes that positive assertion.
We shall quote, just a few of the hundreds of emphatic pro
tests that have reached us:
Editor J. F. Shannon of tho Commerce Newe: "Oeorsl*
taxpayers have the right to vote for the candidate of their
choice and they will not be bulldosed by Tbe Constitution and-
■prominent court officers.' The Constitution and 'prominent
court officers' can't kick John Holder out of tbe race."
The Jackson County Holder Club: “In the name of
2,500 Toyal Georgians of tbe Jackson County Holder Club
and loyal Democrats In every section of the state, we earn
estly protest your effort to put Holder out of tbe race.
Being a farmer, editor and business man, not a lawyer, It
is h wonder that a good many lawyers and ‘court officers' ■
are not supporting him." > >
Editor Jeff Carter of the Catoosa Record: "Noting that |
tbe Clark Howell clique has asked you to withdraw, we re
quest you to stay in until tbe finish. You are the strongest • < .
man and will win regardless of tbe Atlanta Constitution’s aad
Macon Telegraph’s desire tbat you withdraw for their can
didate, Clifford Walker.'*
W. A. Perryman, prominent Farmer of Randolph Countyl
"We claim to be good Democrats and we resent this sugges
tion from The Constitution and Telegraph.

Golding,

well-known 8outh Georgia Farmer:
“The claim of the Constitution tbat Walker Will carry South
Georgia. Is just one more of tbelr trick* to fool the people.
'You will carry Thomas, Grady and Mitchell counties. Tha

' “Don't get out of the race. Walker cannot neat Hardwick.
You undoubtedly can. Tbe people should say who la to be
governor, not a few editors and politicians.
Frank Dunn, Atlanta: “Tte Constitution’s editorial and
J our courageous etand buvo wou me over, and I am sure they
ave also won many thousands of other noble Georgians who
feel they are compet^t to think for themselves."
These are just a few out of many, but they represent
widely separated sections of the state.
What do you say, Georgia Voters?
Will you allow two editol'3 to “handpick” your gover
nor for you?
This effort to kick him out of the race has made John
Holder friends and votes all over Georgia. In every speech
he has made in which John Holder has told his hearers of
the efforts of the Constitution and Telegraph to kick him out
of the race, cries have come back from his audience, amid
loud cheers—
“Don’t let them do It! ..We’ll stick to you!”
They meant it, and they are going to do it, because—
John Holder has always stuck to the people!
