THE CLEVELAND COURIER
YOL. XXII, No 6.1
M, John I, Kelley Speaks
° White County
Col. J. I. Kelley, candidate for
congress, addressed the voters of
White county at Leo and Leaf lass
Friday. At both places he was ac¬
corded a splendid audience and
was given a most respectful hear¬
ing. Ae told his hearers why he
was in the race for this office and
attacked the record of the present
incumbent, Thos. M. Bell,and par¬
ticularly did he dwell on the ques¬
tion of the League of Nations, ex
planing his views on this issue at
length, going into detail as to his
views on its effect on the American
government, being against the
league as brought from Versailles
hy President Wilson, and against
the plank in the Democratic plat¬
form adopted at the San Francisco
convention.
Senator Thomas, ol Colorado,
Refuses to Rod
United States Senator Thomas,
of Colornda, refuses to run for re
election on the democratic ticket,
because he cannot conscientiously
do so since he does not agree with
the League of Nations plank in tire
democratic platform, having op¬
posed it in the senate, which alone
has to deal with this question so
much in dispute, except the Presi¬
dent of the United States. No other
legislative body, neither state nor
national, has anything whatever to
do with the adoption or rejection
of this question except the United
States senate, and Senator Thomas
being a democrat, and a eonscien
tious democrat, refuses to run on -«
ticket that is contrary to his views.
The congressmen of the United
States have nothing to do wtih the
League of Nations. That question
is settled by the senate, Don’t let
any man, through misrepresenta¬
tion, prejudice you against a can¬
didate for congress because of the
League of Narions. Congressmen
have nothing to do with it.—Banks

and assisted in the preparation of

FOURTEEN GOOD REASONS WHY
JOHN HOLDER SHOULD BE
GEORGIA’S NEXT GOVERNOR
& John N. Holder, Speaker of the House of Representatives
j, and Candidate for Governor.
1.- John Holder i« a successful
farmer and business man. He is
well qualified to give the State a
REAL business administration.
3.—John Holder has had nine¬
teen years' experience in handling
every phase of Georgia's legislative
affairs. Through this experience
he has gained the widest possible
knowledge of Georgia's conditions
and needs.
5.—John Holder’s executive abil¬
ity hue been put to the test in his
eight, years' service as speaker of
the House of Representatives. He
has proven himself: There has
never been an appeal from one of
his decisions.
7.—John Holder is FAIR. He
is eminently tail- always, alike to
friend or foe. There is not one of
his enemies who will deny his
fairness in any transaction of his
life. His record as speaker fully
demonstrates this fact.
9.—John Holder is a construc¬
tive servant of the state. He has
shown this in his every effort.
Without blare of trumpets he has
gone ahead building up Georgia’s
schools, institutions and highways,
arid working day and night for the
solution of her financial problems.
11.—John Holder is a loyai, all
wool and a yard wide Democrat.
He has been a loyal Democrat all
his life. He is standing "four¬
square'' by the party in the big
fight which confronts it this year.
* 13.—John Holder, during the 19
years he has been a member of the
General Assembly, has served the
State practically without compen¬
sation. The per diem paid to mem¬
bers is not sufficient to meet the
•xpenses of their stay in Atlanta.
Vote for John Holder for Governor on September 8. Your
vote will be appreciated.

CLEVELAND, GEORGIA. J
J. B. R. Barrett, Pres.
[PRICE $ 1.50 A YEAI*
2.—His 2.—His opponents opponents are neither
farmers nor business men; and
they view conditions from the legal,
instead of the business standpoint.
4.—Neither of ' his
opponent*
has had anything like this state
legislative experience. Therefore,
neither of them possesses the same
intimate knowledge of Georgia af¬
fairs and conditions.
6.—Neither of his opponents has
had this actual executive experi¬
ence. Neither of them has ren¬
dered any executive service.
Neither of them has shown ability
in bringing about concord between,
and in satisfying, disputants.
8.—The same cannot bo said of
at least one of his opponents, who
Is basing his campaign almost
wholly upon bitter attacks upon
well-known Georgians who do not
happen to agree with him. Fair¬
ness can never come from vituper¬
ation.
10.—One of his opponents has a
long record of critical destructive¬
ness — of opposing and tearing
down, where others have tried to
build. The record of the other is
negative: while he may not have
attempted to destroy, there is noth¬
ing which he has built.
12.—It is well known that one of
his opponents has repudiated the
Democratic administration, and
even now criticises its platform
adopted at San Francisco. He is
running as a Democrat, and yet op¬
poses the Democratic platform.
14.—During practically all of
these years both of his opponents
have held lucrative offices, one ol
them for Hi years and the other
for 20. In these offices they have
earned a competent living, while
Mr. Holder has been put to actual
personal expense in the service
he has rendered to the State.
