Wm. G. McADOO
Some brief fact, about the great
e.t living Georgian and the great
est American Statesman.
Born near Marietta, Ga., in ' obb
county, October 31st, 1863.
Son of a Confederate and
distinguished Southern jurist. Mov
ed tT Milledgeville, Ga., where he
grew to young manhood.
Had to give up college course an,
go to work because of *ack of money.
Practiced law in the South until
nearly 30 years of age and then
moved to New York.
Built the famous Hudson tunnels
solving the transporation problens
of the world’s greatest American
city at a cost of hundreds of millions
of dollars.
A Southern boy, without money,
•without anything but brain and grit,
interested some of Ihe greatest
financiers of the woild in one of
the greatese engineerng feats ever
accomplished. McAdoo’s name and
those of the Hudson tubes will a>-
ways be synonymous.
Became vice chnrman of the
democratic national tommittec in
1912 and rendered such conspicuous
service to Woodrow ilson that he was
named secretary of the treasury.
Financed America participation
in the world’s greatest war and also
helped finance European belligerents
(and later our allies), in terms of
billions of dollars.
Ran the railroads of the country
successfully after they had gotten in
to chaotic state in 1917 and govern
ment had to take them over. Under
the Democratic administration of
Woodrow Wilson he increased wages
and number of employees, but private
ownership increased the number of
employees and wages ovver the num
ber McAdoo had 377,164 and in
creased the wages over wages Mc-
Adoo paid by $1,000,000 which is
proof conclusive that the railroads
of the country were not conficated
because men were given only just
wages commensurate with what
other craftmen were being paid at
the time. He gave the railroad men
what they were entitled to, which
is what should have been done, but
no railroad properties were cor.fiscat
ed to do so then or since. Recently
he has come out against Government
ownership except as a last resort.
McAdoo was a friend of the farm
ers of the country, and the Southern
farmers remember what he did for
them.
McAdoo favors adjusted compen
sation for soldiers and sailors in the
world war.
He favors the rigid enforcement
of the national prohibition act
Mr. McAdaa is for law prohibit
ing the further issuance of tax ex
empt securities.
He wants a constitutiona amend
ment prohibiting the employing of
children in industrial enterprise.
McAdoo has been a friend of wo
man suffrage for years and was an
enthusiatic adoveate of the constitu
tional amendment giving the Amer
ican women the same suffrage rights
as men.
He was on of the men who in
stituted the Farm Loan Bank idea,
which has been of incalculable value
to the farmers of the country.
McAdoo resigned from office of
secretary of the treasury and direc
tor general of railroads because he
could support his family much better
by practicing law than on the mea
ger salary of cabinet officer with
the cost of living in Washington out
of all proporation to the salaries
paid government officials.
McAdoo is the greatest living
Georgian and America’s greatest
Democrat and Statesman. Make it
unanimous for him March 19th.

FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER.
Having been solicited by many
good citizens from every section of
the county to make the race for
county commissioner, I hereby an
nounce my candidacy for said office
at the primary election, and should
I be elected I pledge myself to dis
charge all duties of the office.
Here are a few items that I am’
not in favor of, and some that I am:
I don’t believe in a county com
missioner being clerk of board of
commisioners.
I am not in favor of convicts
staying in winter quarters the year
round, and being transported to
their work in trucks. «
Am not in favor of the county be
ing cut in three departments, for
there is more or less friction withi
board of commissioners.
Believe in the tax payers knowing
twice a year by an itemized state
ment through the papers where their
money has been spent.
In favor of all road taxes being
spent in the district where it was
collected.
Under the system that Gwinnett
county has been run for several
years, 1 can’t see why a map can’t
save the county at least $3,000 per
.year.
Respectfully,
\V. B. HOPSON.

rate may be reduced.
