DAVIS AND BRYAN
The uomnation of Davii, for
president, and Gov. Bryan, for vice
president, by the national democrat
ic convention, has healed ali fac
tional differences that grew out of
the strenous and protracted strug
gle at New Yoik, and the party has
entered the contest with unbroken
ranks and an enthusiasm that pre
sages a splendid victory for it at
the November election.
After the convention had been
deadlocked for nearly two weeks,
during which the representatives of
McAdoo, .Smith, the “favorite sons”
and dark horses were fighting each
other with tiger like ferocity, and it
looked like no nomination would he
made, the republican leaders were
very much elated over the situation,
and considerably more hopeful of
victory going their way, but the
harmony and enthusiasm brought
about by the naming of Davis and
Bryan has created consternation in
' heir rums
All the New York newspapers,
both democratic and republican,
were intensely hostile to McAdoo,
and some of them started a story
immediately following adjournment
ol the convention to the effect that
he *as contemplating running at an
independent progressive democrat, a
la Lalollette. But he issued a signed
sJUiwient promptly in which he <ie-
t'lured hi* intention to take the
Kluin|i;far (the nominees upon his re
turn t'uini Europe, by the Ist of
i-i-pt ember, un/i William Jennings
Bryan, his most powerful leader on
the floor of the conventon, express
ed a similar intention, so that there
vyil! be only one democratic ticket,
whereas the republicans have two —
Cooledge and LaFoiiette.
Latfoliotte will probably carry
two or three of the smaller sure re
puhbjfsm states ui the fur west and
so divide the votes oi that party in
» i.umber of other und larger re
publican states of the middle west
that have heretofore been strongly
nartfh urrd in the column of the g. o.
ja.ho ,/mike them “safe for democ
racy" ;and .thereby make sure the
electuuii of iJduvrs and Bryan.
It wus ttie bolt of Theodore
Roosevelt that elected Woodrow
Wilson in’ his first race, and that of
LaKoliette will most probably have
the same effect this year.
"Uooledge is a good cleun man, of
only fair ability, and has nothing
magnetic in his personality that at
frahts wrt n'h-rtvi draws them to him,
nor the nerve to Ifiipfct recalcitrant
X publican member* oi congress and
drive them to stand by the policies
vJf his administration, and therein
les his greatest weakness.
The farmers of the country, and
particularly those of the great ag
ricultural territory of the west, have
been vigorously demanding legislat
ive relief for several years, und
although both houses of congress
are strongly republican, President
<holedge has not had sufficient
lact, or influence to formulate, or
put through any measure for that
purpose.
While all this deluy has been go
ing on, thousands of western farm
ers were bankrupted, and over
twelve hundred nationul hanks were
furred to the wall, which ruined
thousands of depositors.
The southern cotton farmers huve
also lost many millions for the lack
<if a market for their cotton, which
they can never get until an inter
national court has bee.t established
through which German manufactur
ers cun open up their great plants
that were left intact at the close of
the European war, and enter the
market for that staple.
England consume* only a little
over 2,000,(100 hale* of Ann rican
■cotton, wherea*, before the war,
Germany annually purchased slight
ly over 4,000,000 and it 1* the law
4)i supply and demand that fixe ; , the
jtricea on all things.
The* republican purty has done ab
solutely nothing to help the great
l>otiy of American people. It main
tains an outrageously high tariff
tax that robs the general public of
billions, every dollar of which is
paid by the consumers, and goes in
to the pockets of predatory wealth.
It has always stood by the big in
terests at tin* expense of the general
public, and the people feel outraged
over the situation in economic af
fairs, to say nothing of the scandal
ous robbery of the national treasury
by thievish republican officials who
arc running the national govern
ment, and they are determined to
have a change.
HARRIS AND HARDWICK.
Little Thomas William Hardwick
iit a candidate for the senate.
' We won't say that he is running
j f„r Senator Hams’ job, because he j
isn’t.
He is just simply a candidate.
Of course, there are some people j
| somewhere who will vote for justi
anybody regardless of rhyme or j
reason, and probably some of that j
tribe can be found in all the coun- 1
ties of this state, but we have not |
happened up with any voter any-]
where who expressed an intention to
throw away a ballot for him and we j
have been with a great many folks j
from different sections of Georgia i
since he announced his candidacy.
In addtiion to that, the newspap-
I ers are unanimously supporting
| Harris, and ali of them have ex
pressed the hope that he would be
returned to the senate without op
j position, because of the great and
unblemished record he has made
there, w'hich no man from this state
has equalled, much less excel ed.
Of course, Gov. Hardwick fully
understands the situation, a' 1 has
not the remotest idea, hope or ex
pectation of winning.
Why, you ask, did he bocem a
candidate?
The answer to that interrogatory
is—SIMPLY FOR SPITE.
The truth of that statement is ab
solutely proven by the following re
cital oi‘ facts, all of which are well
known to the reading public:
In some manner, Mr. Hardwick
has been in high standing with the
republican administration since his
defeat for the senate.
For two years he held a position
in the department of justice, at
Washington, under the Harding and
Cooledge administrations, at a high
salary.
Only afew days before the ad
journment of congress, President
Cooledge nominated him for a high
position, that had to be filled by a
democrat, and he sent his name to
the senate for confirmation.
Senator W. J. Harris abjected t<*
that, upon the ground that Hardwick
was personally objectionable to him,
and that ended the scheme.
Up to that day Mr. Hardwick
had never intimated to anybody
that he had an idea of running for
the senate, but he immediately re
turned to Georgia, and Upon his ar
lival at Atlanta wrote letters to 21
of his old political friend* to meet
him at the Kimball House for a con
sultation.
When these committeemen met
pursuant to that request, he
expressed any intention or desire to
become a candidate himself, but
they were informed that the pur
pose of the call was to get out a
candidate for the senate against
Harris and one for governor against
Walker.
What he and his committeemen
did was to agree upon men they
would be willing to support for
senator and governor. For senator,
they named Col. Rube Arnold, of
Atlanta, and Judge R. B. Russell,
and for governor, Dr. Hardeman, of
Commerce,.
All three of these gentlemen very
promptly declined to become par
ties to cuch a contemtibie scheme,
and Hardwick was left high und dry
alone.
Of course, all these committee
men, being close personal and polit
ical friends of his, would have en
dorsed his candidacy, had it been
known that he desired to make the
race, and no one expected him to
do it, as he held the matter in abey
ance until the last day and the last
hour on which under the rule of the
State Executive Committee, any
candidate could enter his name as
such, and pay the qualifying fee of
$250.
Gov. Hardwick has an exceeding
ly high tempered and vindictive dis
position, and made up his mind,
in a moment of desperation, to make
Senator Harris pay the expenses of
a campaign to punish him for de
featng the confirmation of Cool
edge’s appointment.
Of course, he hasn’t the ghost of
a chance of an election, und does
not expect to accomplish anything
hut force Harris to pay something
to gratify his personal spite to
wards him,
Senator Harris did right in de
feating the confirmation of Hard
wick, knowing that some good dem
ocrat would ultimately be named for
the position, and not one who fought
Woodrow Wilson's administration,
hobnobs with republican administra
tions at Washington and pretends
to he a dyed-in-the-wool democrat
in Georgia.
Georgians do not like any such
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde po
litical scheme as Hardwick has
been trying to put over them for
several years and this furnishes an
opportunity to indignantly repudi
ate and crush it for good.

WARNING TO PARENTS.
8 MILLION LITTLE PIGS.
RIDING A DRIVING WHEEL.
EASTMAN’S MILLIONS.
All fathers and mothers should
be put on their guard by the death
of the President’s son. The boy
wore shoes, or sandals, with no
stockings, as thousands of boys and
girls do, every day in Summer.
THAT IS MOST DANGEROUS.
The earth, everywhere, is im
pregnated with dangerous germs,
including the germ of lockjaw, and
innumerable other germs that may
cause blood poisoning if a slight
wound be neglected.
The feet and especially the toes,
are more easily infected than any
other external part of the body.
Cramped for generations in
ihoes, deprived of their natural
blood supply, very often the toes
lose their power of resistance to
germ attack. Constantly you read
it Wood poisoning that starts in the
foot.
Wearing shoes without stock
ngs, neglecting a cut or blister, as
children often do, any germs ac
cumulated are persistently and con
tinuously rubbed into the tissues
and into the blood circulation, with
no protecting stocking between the
foot and the leathy.
The pluckier the child the more
probability of a neglected wound.
And boyish courage, unfortunately,
la no protection against germ at
tack.
“The Spring crop of pigs is short

W'hat becomes of the “conscious

Are they suspended somewhere

to kick up their little legs in the
