Senator-Elect Harris’ Statement.
Senator-Elect William J. Harris is
sued the following statement:
“I recognize fully and appre
ciate deeply the high honor the
people of Georgia paid me by elect
ing me to represent them in the
United States Senate y a majority
over all opponents. I shall give
my best efforts to measure up to
the responsibilities o the office.
“I do not take this as a person
al victory. When I took up this
fight my object was to arouse the
people of Georgia against the forc
es of antagonism to the nation’s
war program. This has been done
and the result speaks for itself.
“Tae vote was a splendid trium
phant expression of loyalty and
patriotism. Georgia spoke in no
uncertain terms for the nation to
hear. Her message was that this
great state Is whole-hearted in its
support and endorsement of Wood
row Wilson and his administra
tion; that Georgia is mindful of
her soldiers and sailors; that
Georgia is intensely loyal to the
nation and the flag.
“The campaign just over is now
history. Our management re
frained from any unworthy tac
tics and waged a clean, dignified
fight throughout. So far as we
are concerned there is no bitter
ness, and my own personal effort
shall be to worthily execute the
commission of my native state.”
Hardwick’s Statement.
Senator Thomas W. Hardwick, the
defeated candidate for re-election, is
sued the following statement:
Tlie result is decisive and
speaks for itself. I bow in con
tented submission to the will of
the people of Georgia, and I do
so without a whine or a whimp r.
‘If the nominee of the primary
has opposition in the general
election, I will support him ‘con
stantly and actively,’ for I never
bolted a nomination or scratched
a nominee.
‘For many years I have borne
the burdens of high public office.
I have never found them light,
for I have always taken them
seriously, and have always tried
to discharge them as God gave
me the light and according to the
dictates of my own conscience
and judgement. Public service on
any any other terms would be in
tolerable and Impossible for jne.
I am soon to lay down these bur
dens. I do so cheerfully, without
a murmur, and wish for our new
senator-to-be success in his efforts
to bear them.
“To the many thousands of pa
triotic and liberty-loving Geor
gians who on election day gave
me their generous and unselfish
support my heart goes out in pro
found gratitude. I bid them ‘be
of good cheer.’
“We are undoubtedly right in
the great fundamentals on which
our cause rests, and the imperish
able principles in which we be
lieve anl for which we have stood
cannot lose permanently in a free
country. The battle has just be
gun. In times that are more nor
mal and less hysterical those prin
ciples must and will triumph and
will be re-established beyond the
possibility of question cr chal
lenge.”
