The Opposition to Governor
Talmadge has Broken Down
Every Effort to deceive the people of
the State has been used and has failed
At the headquarters of Governor Talmadge, the following
statement was given out:
“It is apparant that the opposition to Governor Talmadge has
broken down. Ever / known effort to deceive the people of Georgia
has been used. The opposition to Governor Talmadge has broken
down because no platform is advocated save that of slander and
villification. The opposition has broken down because they have
adopted most of the platform of Eugene Talmadge. They have
adopted the lower automobile tag, but say they want a $2. or $3.
tag. They have adopted the plank in Governor Talmadge’s plat¬
form to pay the school teachers and Confederate pensions.
The miin reason the opposition has broken down is that they
have not yet said one word about lower freight rates, telephone rates
and truck and bus rates. They have not said one word about the
Public Service Commission. This clearly demonstrates that because
Governor Talmadge saw fit to carry out his platform with reference
to lower utility rates, the great utilities are behind the opposition.
Notone line has been written nor one word spoke*. about lower util¬
ity rates.
Wnat does this mean?
It can mean but one thing. The opposition ts trying to kick
Talmadge out so they can raise the telephone rates; so they can
raise the freight rates; so they can raise the truck and bus rates; so
they can raise the power rates and set the work of the Georgia Pub¬
lic Service Commission back twenty-five years.
This is the issue.
Snail Georgia have lower rates, or shall the opposition raise
the rales back to where they were before Governor Talmadge saw
fit *o lower them?
A review of the past two weeks shows that the crowds whicn
have come out to hear Governor Talmadge and pledge him their
support, have far surpassed anything in the political history of this
state Governor Talmadge, in one speech at Thomson, Ga., spoke
to more people than the opposition did during the whole week
speaking two and three times a day. Week before last Governor
Talmadge spoke to more people in one meeting than the op¬
position has during the entire campaign. From the mountains to
the sea and from Alabama to South Carohua, the people are rallying
behind Governor Talmadge’s candidacy and are going to sweep him
back into office in order to perpetuate the $3. tag, in order to pay
the school teachers and Confederate vet rans; in order to keep the
lower light and power rates; in order te maintain the high efficiency
of the Highway Department; in order to sustain Governor Tal
madge in removing thq Public Service Commission who believed in
