cratic member, requested the attor
ney general to prosecute the case
with vigor and submit a moton in

presentation of the bank books. The
United States district court for the
southern district of Ohio ruled in
favor of Daugherty, and the com

supreme court on the ground that
constitutional questions were involv

be made by the attorney general to
have the case advanced, as otherwise
It probably would not be reached un

After the conference Senator
Brookhart returned to Camp Perry.

the national target practice school.

Statement Deploring
Election "Mud Slinging’
Characterizing the recent election
as the most prolific in “treachery
and mud-slinging” in his recollection,
J. J. Brown, re-elected as commis
sioner of agriculture, Saturday is
sued a statement in which he said
he harbored no bitterness toward
anyone.
"Let us hope that in future men
who aspire to public office will be
willing to place their campaigns on
high grounds and leave off person
alities and mud-slinging,” Mr. Brown
said.
Commissioner Brown’s statement
follows:
“To the People of Georgia:
"The citizens of the state of Geor
gia have again placed me in the of
fice of commissioner of agriculture.
More than at any time in my life
do I appreciate this endorsement
from the people of my administra
tion of the affairs of the department
of agriculture, and in expressing this
appreciation to my friends I will
renew to them my determination to
continue an honest and efficient
service to the very best of my ability.
"We have passed through what I
believe to have been a campaign of
the mop* -eachery and personal
abuse that I have ever experienced
in any of my campaigns since I en
tered public life, and while I have
been overwhelmingly vindicated of
all this abuse, I feel confident that
the verdict of the people will do.
much co stop irresponsible vilifica
tion of public officials by men who
are willing to assassinate a man’s
character in their greed for office.
Let us hope that in future men who
a:, .are to public office will be will
ing to place their campaign on high
ground and leave off personalities
and mud-slinging.
“To the loyal and unselfish friends
who made our victory for us, and did
so by standing for conscientious
service in behalf of their state, I am
deeply grateful and shall, through
the remaining years of my life, be
ever conscious of my appreciation
to them. I do not take this victory
as a personal one by any means, but
am conscious of the fact that it was
one in behalf of clean government
and faithful administration.
“Words fail me to fully express my
thanks to the recent investigating
committee, the senate and the house,
and the people at the ballot box for
their overwhelming endorsement of
my administration of the affairs of
the groat department of agriculture.
"I also want to take this oppor
tunity to thank my thousands of
friends for their telegrams and let
ters of congratulations through the
press, as it is utterly impossible for
me to express my thanks to each
and all of them pesonally.
i "With kindness to all and bitter
ness to none, I am.
“Respectfully,
"J. J. BROWN.

FOB SENATE SEAT
Thomas W. Hardwick, former gov
ernor and former senator, issued a
statement Friday commenting on
the results of Wednesday’s primary
in which he was defeated by Sena
tor William J. Harris for the Demo
cratic nomination for United States
senator. He thanked his support- j
ers.
Statements also were issued Fri- '
day by Fort E. Land, successful.
candidate for the nomination for !
| state school superintendent, and by
I George F. Hunnicutt, who was de-
I seated by J. J. Brown for the nomi-
I nation for state commissioner of
agriculture.
Mr. Hardwick’s statement follows;
“Without bitterness and without,
complaint I accept the result at the
ballot box. When the vote is offi
cially tabulated, it will be found
that I have carried a good many
more counties than the early returns
have credited me with. It will also
be found that the vote is surpris
ingly igiht, one of the smallest in
the history of Georgia primary elec
tions.
“In view of the latter, I am not
surprised at the result, for I did not
hope to win unless there was area
sonably full vote in the rural sec
tions as well as in the cities and
in the towns.
“To the thousands of men and
women throughout Georgia who gave
me their generous and loyal support
I am profoundly grateful. I. appre
ciate their friendship and confidence
more than I can tell them. I am
just as grateful to them, and to each
of them, as I could have been if we
had won a sweeping victory. Pos
sibly more so. 1 shall always cherish
their friendship and confidence as
the most valuable of my possessions
“Just a word of cheer and com
fort to them: The battle that w?
fought on Wednesday had to be
fought, regardless of results. When
the fundamental principles are in
volved, defeat is endurable, but sur
render is unthinkable. I have lost
another fight, temporarily, but our
final triumph is certain, and the bat
tle for it will never end until it is
won. The principles for which we
stand are both fundamental and in
destructible. They constitute the
basis of all real democracy and of
all true Americanism. Their ulti
mate triumph is as certain as the
continued life of free government. ’
G. F. HUNNICUTT GIVES
STATEMENT ON RACE
George F. Hunnicutt’s statement
thanked his supporters and congratu
lated his opponent, J. J. Brown, as
follows:
“I want to extend my warmest
appreciatoin to every voter in Geor
gia who gave me his or her support;
especially do I wish to thank every
individual who worked for my cam
paign. I congratulate my opponent
on his splendid victory.”
