Page Four 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. UNION. Lilburn Ga. Feb. 11—Mr. and Mrs. H. C.

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.
