DR. L. G. HARDMAN
DESERVES VOTES OF
' ‘EVERY MAN, WOMAN’
Says Thomson Man. Work to
Get Free Antitoxin Cited
As Reason.
Declaring that Dr. L. G. Hardman
is “entitled to the vote of every man
and woman in Georgia and a monu
ment as high as Stone mountain for
his work” in getting certain antitoxin
free for this state, Dr. W. W. Terrell,
of Thomson, Ga., has written Hard
man headquarters a strong letter in
support of the Commerce doctor’s
candidacy.
The letter was given out by Alex
S. Chamblee, Hardman’s campaign
manager, in connection with a state
ment in which he sums up the cam
paign to date and predicts an over
whelming victory for Dr. Hardman.
“Dr. Hardman opposes any increase
in gasoline tax,” the statement sets
out, and declares that Mr. Holder fa
vored a 5 cents gas tax.”
Dr. Terrell’s Letter.
Dr. Terrell’s letter follows:
“If Dr. Hardman had never done
anything for the people of Georgia
but father the law that made antitox
in for diphtheria and hydrophobia
free, he would be entitled to the vote
of every man and woman in the state
and a monument as large as Stone
mountain.
“Antitoxins are costly, and out of
the reach of the poor especially where
whole families are afflicted with diph
theria, and no doubt hundreds would
have died had antitoxin not been free.
“Before the days of antitoxin the
doctor visited his patient with diph
theria almost helpless and those with
hydrophobia entirely helpless, but to
day give him the serums, and he feels
like a fireman going to a small fire
with plenty of water—and it free!
(Signed)
“Most sincerely,
“W. W. TERRELL, M. D.”
Thomson, Ga., September 15, 1926.

PRIMARY ELECTION
NEXT WEDNESDAY
ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 27.—1 n just
nine days voters of Georgia will have
an opportunity to again vote for a
, governor. The run-over race was
brought about on account of the lead
ing candidate, Dr. L. G. Hardman not
receiving 208 electoral votes, the ne
cessary number for the nomination,
Dr. Hardman led his three opponents
his total electoral vote being 168,
while his nearest opponent received
158.
In summing up the race the final
results show that approximately 120,-
000 Georgians saw fit to vote against
Mr. Holder who only received 70.000
cotes. In other words, nearly twice as
many votes were cast against Holder
as those for him.
T n the last few days of the cam
q •/> of the opponents has re
soi. mud. This is al
ways an ’"t the mud
slinger senses u- it and in his
desperation begins to mject person-
I alities instead of confining his at
tacks to the issues of the campaign.
There are but two issue sin the pres
ent race. They are: for a business ad
ministration or for the denomination
by machine politicians. Dr. Hardman
is a business candidate and pledges a
business administration for his state.
He has always opposed bond issues,
while Holder has been on both sides,
legislature to saddle a $70,900,000
Two years ago Mr. Holder urged the
bond issue on the taxpayers, but when
he discovered that a bond committee
would handle the funds he jumps ov
er to the opposition and said he op
posed bonds. However, he now favors
county bonds and bonds for the coas
tal highway, because he handles the
funds. Take these funds out of his
hands and Mr. Holder will oppose
bonds.
Dr. Hardman stands for construc
tive legislation. He is opposed to in
creasing the gasoline tax. Hr. Hold
er urged the special legislature to
raise this tax to five cents. Dr. Hard
man has never been sued in court for
a debt. He has always paid his obli
gations promptly and enjoys the con
fidence and esteem of all who know
him, and Georgians will make him
their next governor on Wednesday,
October 6th, because he is the best
man in the race.
