CATHERINE C MORRISON Owner and Publisher ---- ..... Shop Apprentice THE CANDIDATES Election day conies closer and closer. In Dade County, as in other counties, there is much talk and many heated arguments In listening to the candidates a-nd in reading about them we have come to several conclusions. Thompson was born of farmer parents He has come up the hard way and worked for what he gets!" Talmadge was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and has always had whatever he wanted. Now he wants to be governor. What experience has Talmadge had to make him able to lead us as governor? Has he held any public office? Did you boys, when you were in the ser - vice, like' to follow' a leader with no experience? Talmadge is promising fantas¬ tic improvements in Georgia welfare if he Is elected — but WHERE IN DADE COUNTY IS THERE ANY ROAD BUILT BY A TALMADGE. EITHER FATHER OR SON? The contract for the Sand Mountain road is already advertised, Thompson is giving us this road. Do you peoplp up there want this contract to fall through and wait for a Talmadge governor to build it? Talmadge in his speeches is continually telling us that people are accusing him of being drunk. Why does he mention this? Makes me wonder, maybe he does get drunk. Talmadge has been talking, talking and talking about “Civil Rights.” Both candidates are on record as opposed to Civil Rights. Thompson has stated how he stands on other issues. He stands soldly for states rights. He is aganst anti-segragation laws. He is against a Sales Tax. He is against bloc voting. Has Thompson done a good job these past two years? Why should someone with no expo -1 rience in such matters be able to do a better job for us? I Ranger's Report (By J. C. Pace) On Dade County fire protection the people of the county are be- jnfh-very nil*e indeed and the results are that I can't report any fires for last week.

GEORGIAN’S Sl’??£RT IN CIVIL RIGHTS FSGS3T O 11 September 8th, Talmadge will be elected Governor by on? of the I ■ -st majorities any man ever received in a Georgia elect.on. In tli.' minds and hearts of voters who love Georgia and who as grate¬ ful citizens cherish our heritage and traditions, there is deep resent¬ ment against the unscrupulous persons who have scorned the bouth and are attempting to destroy our southern traditions. Now both national political parties are vicing to s* •' which can plunge the dagger of "Civil nights” deepest into the hack of the South. Already the color line has been swept from the p art y o f 0 u r fathers. Already our Representa¬ tives in Con¬ gress have had to resort to lili- bustef to stop this unjust and iniquitous legis¬ lation. Yes, there is cause for alarm, and under Talmage banner, Georgians stand united . . . ready talmadge to ring out our Septem answer to the nation on L)Ci* 8. Talmadge as Georgians know H man oi dauntl s coura; - * the tru? channuon of liberties and Slat? R.g“ts. use every resource of tins state to back up our He’ll tives in Congress. wage all-out campaign to prove to nation that the FKFC is wrong that segregation is best lor white man and the Negro. Thompson Does An About Face In a mimeographed statement all members of the Genera! sembly which was laid on the of every member when the Assembly convened on the 1.3th January 1947, Melvin E. son said he would support White Primary Bill. Thompson showed how he ly stands when he turned his ot. : he white people and vetoed Wrote Primary Bill, which tin- very same legislat.on he prepare and so before loudly he shouted^ got would support the Governor’s ofiice. He shows his disregard for paid principles by placing South advertisements in the s est Negro newspaper. IIis long close association with Henry lace and other discredited cians who brought about bloc ing in the first place shows him be insincere and untrustworthy. County Unit System In Danger The County Unit System is bulwark of our social and freedom, yet the Acting and the Ex-Governors who his every move have long to destroy it for their own advantage. They would enough Negroes to th? polls the cities to cancel out th? strength of the rural counties, it would be impossible for us send men to Congress who upheld our traditions there. would set themselves up as lo rub .-uprenic.

While writing the book, he drew a state salary plus a salary from the definitely anti-Sou¬ thern Rosenwald Fund. While still on the State payroll, he worked closely with another State employee named Cullen Gosnell, the man filed suit in Federal Court seeking to void the election of the great Statesman, Eugene Talmadge, and at the same time destroy the j County Unit System. Herman Tal- | niadge will protect mtaintaining all the people the of Georgia by mak¬ County Unit System, thereby ing a dangerous political machine impossible. Load-Letling A Political Racket To Get Votes— Campaign Funds The people resent the fact that Thompson neglected our roads to pile up money that he is now spending by the millions trying High¬ to patch political fences. The way Department is now operating from the opposition's campaign headquarters in the Henry Grady Hotel, and delegates seeking roads are demanded to produce votes and campaign funds. This is what is known as a political “shake down." The needs for or merits of build¬ ing the roads in question aren’t considered, and road-letting as it exists under the system of “negoti¬ ated contracts” is a disgraceful thoroughly racket that should be investigated. One such contract, pub¬ which has been given wide licity, was actually increased by $41,000 a few days after a prior bid v as rejected as being too high. A different contractor from first h : dder got the job at the 000 higher figure. If we are which to have a highway system of we can be proud, such swindles must be stopped. Talmadge has the answer. He will establish a Con¬ stitutional Highway Board divorced from politics so we can have scientific, long-range road planning. Talmadge Support Is Piling Up In Every County! Now if you are a Georgian sin¬ cerely interested in the welfare Georgia and in keeping our thern traditions, we invite you rally to the Talmadge cause. stands pare what each candidate for—then you will surely vote for Talmadge, the candidate who will defend Georgia against the Rights Program, maintain the County Unit System, create a Con¬ stitutional Highway Board and build Community Hospitals with | State Aid. 9 GEORGIA Decorated for Combat Duty World War II of I I HIS RECORD 1 SPEAKS FOR ITSELF!
