Slaton repeatedly appeared

measures and bringing the
and influence of himself and
wealthy connections against
proposed acts, providing means
carrying on state Institutions, the
payment of pensions to Confederate
soldiers and salaries of teachers in
the common schools.
Witness the humiliating speeta

the pitiful ..... , appeals , of ,, these heroes

can regard without shame the brav ■
men and women who have taught
the great youth of this state, their
salaries now past due, running into
millions, and the State Insane and
Blind and other wards, without
means to maintain these humane

tee „ years office holding. The
people are not so ignorant and
will not be deceived, They me to¬
day overwhelmingly determined to
return Senator Harris to the place
he has so ably filled.
In the Sunday statement of Sla¬

language is used:
“There are more ways of buying

is claiming their support because of
these favors. Is Senator Harris in a.
position to criticise anyone on the
ground that he is seeking to ouy
the election?"
Senator Harris is seeking re
election because of his service, not
money. Mr. Slaton is seeking elec¬
tion solely on his money, having no
record whatever of service to the
common people of Georgia except
fourteen barbecues which he gave
friends and politicians while hold

stances of attention to requests for
aid and service to the people of
Georgia constitute the record of
Senator Harris. Does Mr. Slaton

Slaton As
Governor
Cut Taxes
Senator Harris is making stren¬
uous efforts to divert attention
from his Senatorial record, which
is perfectly natural, considering
how indefensible it is. He makes
the statement that during my serv¬
ice as Governor of Georgia I did
nothing constructive. He states
that since J was Governor I have
been a “lobbyist” against appro¬
priations for the common schools
and Confederate pensions.
1 have exercised the right to ap¬
pear before Legislative committee*
several times, as a citizen, to pre¬
sent my views against certain tax
proposals that wore dangerous to
land owners, and against proposals
to saddle the state with a bonded
debt of hundreds of millions. It
Senator Harris, in Washington, had
been as much concerned with gov¬
ernmental economy as Slaton has
been in Georgia, the country today
would lie infinitely better off.
To say that I am not in sympa¬
thy with tin common schools and
education is both false and prepos
tcrous. It is so preposterous that
nobody but Senator Harris would
say a thing so foolish. My father
before me spent his life as an edu¬
cator. My only brother has been a
teacher and educator since he grad¬
uated. One of my en ters has been
a teacher for many y< ;tT hrough,
out my public career ! have stead¬
fastly advocated better common
schools, better pay for teachers,
and better provision for the educa¬
tion I int i it eit ions of the State.
During my service as Governor,
the appropriations made for the
common schools ivt re paid in full,
and paid promptly. The appropria¬
tion. made for Confederate veter¬
ans hp. I widows were paid in full,
and paid promptly.
During my service as Governor,
the tax rate of the State, was re¬
duced twice, which was the only
time it had been reduced since the
live mill limit was put in the Con¬
stitution of Georgia. The bonds of
the State. Issued to ivtir,* outstand¬
ing bon is, were sold at the best
rate of interest the Slate has ever
received, under similar conditions.

tion. idle railroad which had it
under ler.no applied to the Secre
t ry of Str.te for r. charter to build
a parallel line. Under the then
existing law. the Secretary of State
had gii authority to refuse to issue
the charter. Hat) jt he 'll issued,
and had the parallel line been
limit, the Western and Atlantic
railroad v, oaltj have been rendered
pr : tic: by worth).-■* s,
As Gov. -nor of Georgia, in that
situation, il was my duty to oxer,
cine the utmost authority vested in
me to protect the State’s property.
I promptly informed the President
of the railroad that if the appli¬
cation were not withdrawn, 1 would
immediately call the Legislature in
special session to enact whatever
measures might lie necessary to
prevent the paralleling of the
Western and Atlantic. The appli¬
cation was withdrawn: the charter
was not Issued; (he Western and
Atlantic a short time inter was
leased for a period of fifty years
more: and at the end of the lease
its value wilf far exceed what it is
today.
I have never been given to boast
ing of my record as Governor, in
which respect there is a sharp con¬
trast between myself and Senator
Harris, who never opens his mouth
without boasting about himself.
J)uf there are many things in that
record of which i art) proud, and
not one thing of which l am
ashamed.
In criticising the record of Sen¬
ator Harris, 1 have been specific.
In defending that record Senator
Harris has taken refuge in vague
generalities, such as “gross mis¬
representation.” In criticising niy
record, he is equally vague and in¬
definite. If there is anything spe¬
cific in my record that he does not
approve, or thinks the people do
not approve, let him call it by name.
