SUNDAY, AUGUST 16
BRILLIANT CONGRESSMAN HAS FOUGHT PARTY
BATTLES IN THE STATE AND OUT OF IT
(Continued from preceding page)
born citizen of Georgia. At some time
I have always eoncended to every
friend I had, to every citizen of Geor
gia, the same right to do his own
thinking and his own voting that I
have claimed and exercised for my
self I have always done this, and
still do so, and for that reason I have
thousands of friends in Georgia, many
of them my ardent supporters in this
contest, who do not agree with me on
this and possibly on other questions.
Whatever else may be said, I do not
search for fences to straddle. I do not
play both ends against the middle. I
do not say I am for Smith when with
Smith men and for Brown when I am
with Brown men. I am not hanging
to Woodrow Wilson with one hand and
to Hearst with the other. I have not
lain down first on my state, second
on my own crowd, then on my own
town. I have not run away from
joint debate, or anything else.
Slaton Opposed to Wilson.
Mr. Slaton, whose opposition to
Woodrow Wilson is well known, has
assailed me as being untrue to this
administration, both as to parcels post
and the currency bill. This charge in
somewhat milder form, has been
echoed from the Felder camp. Let me
ask you to take the answer from the
man who ought to know better than
either Mr. Slaton or Mr. Felder—from
Woodrow Wilson himself. Without
my knowledge or request, direct or in
direct. Mr. Wilson recently wrote the
following lettec:
"The White House.
Washington. August 3rd, 1914.
"To the Editor of The Press:
"I am very glad to answer your let
ter of July 20th. Mr. Hardwick has
been an ardent and faithful friend of
the administration from the outset,
and I should be very sorry to heat of
anything being said against him that
■would create a different Impression.
He has my admiration and confi
dence.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) WOODROW WILSON.”
Mr. Slaton insists that I have been
saying unkind things about him and
his family affairs and family mat
ters. He is entirely mistaken. Neither
I nor my management have anything
on earth to do with the controversy
tween himself and Judge Morris. I
Dr. Hardman Will Carry
Over One Hundred Counties
Reports From All Sec
tions Indicate His
Nomination For
Governor
Atlanta, Ga., August 15th (Special).
—l, Bnorts from every section of the
sta’.l received at the Hardman Cam
paign 'headquarters lin the Kimball
House tonight indicate that Dr. L. G.
Hardman will carry over one hundred
bounties for Governor, at the coming
democratic primary on Wednesday.
Dr. Hardman, following a thorough
canvass of the state, shares the be
lief of his friends that he is to be the
winner on the first ballot of the com
ing state convention.
It is not believed that even a com
bination of the Harris and Anderson
forces will be sufficient to defeat the
will of the people in the nomination
of Dr. Hardman at that time.
Thousands of letters have been re
ceived In securing the canvass men
tioned. and extracts from some of
them showing the basis for the claims
made above are as follows:
Mr. J. P. Carter, Naylor, Ga. —“Dr.
Hardman will easily carry Lowndes
county.”
Mr. A. H Thurman, Fitzgerald, Ga.
—"Ben Hill county will be found in
the Hardman column. Irwin and Wil
cox will go the same way.”
Dr. A. C. Moreland, Forsyth, Ga. —
"If we don’t carry Monroe for Dr.
Hardman I am badly mistaken."
Mr. J. H. McGee, Lawrencevllle, Ga.
—"Three weeks ago this county would
have gone for Harris. Now there Isn’t
any doubt Gwinnett will go for Dr.
Hardman.”
Mr. Thomas W. Crawford, Lexing
ton, Ga-—" There will be no trouble
about Dr. Hardman carrying Ogle
thorpe county."
Mr. Thad Adams, Moultrie, Ga.—
“All indications point to Dr. Hard
man carrying the majority of the
counties in the western part of the
second district. Colquitt, Mitchell,
Thomas and Grady all are strong for
Hardman. Berrien county also is for
Hardman. He is gaing strength ev
ery day.”
Mr. H. E. McAuliffe, Mllledgevllli,
Ga.—" The supporters of Dr. Hardman
here believe he will get a majority
over both of his opponents in Baldwin
Sentiment is growing stronger in his
favor every day.”
Mr. J. E. Tinley, Hampton, Ga.—" Dr.
Hardman has the fight whipped in
Henry county."
Mr. J. R. Stapleton, Preston, Ga.—
"Dr Hardman will win out In Web
ster.”
Mr. R. J. Dickson. Richland, Ga.—
"The chances are good for Dr. Hard
man to carry Stewart county by a safe
majority.”
Mr. N. J. Boswell, Mansfield, Ga.—
Dr. Hardman by a safe majority."
Mr. George M. Dame, Homerville,
Ga.—“ Clinch Is safely In the Hard
man column.”
Mr. O. L. B. Lester, Hiram, Ga.—
"Paulding county can be safely
oounted In the Hardman column."
Mr. J. R. Kelley, Cordele, Ga. —
"Watch Dr. Hardman carry Crisp,
Dooly, Wilcox. Worth, Turner, Sump
ter. Irwin and many other South Geor
gia counties Harris men coming over
conceding Hardman's election."
Dr., G. Y. Moore, Cuthbert. Ga.—
"Dr Hardman will carry Randolph
by a very safe margin."
Mr. J. Kelly Simmons, Mcßae, Ga
"If we don’t carry Telfair for Dr
Hardman I am badly mistaken."
Dr. Henry R. Slack, laGrange, Ga.
—"Dr. Hardman la gaining strength
In Troup county every day.”
Dr E. W. Childs, Omaha, Ga.—“l
confidently believe you may expect
Stewart to be In the Hardeman col
umn on the 19th.”
Mr J. N. Davies, Blue Ridge. Ga.—
have made no reference whatever to
the matter in any way. I have simply
said about Mr. Slaton what everybody
knows and his friends concede, that
without the support of the enormous
fortune that is behind him there would
be nothing whatever to him or his
campaign. Mr. Slaton has employed
a campaign manager who came to us,
advertised, as "Just from Tammany
and Its campaigns." Does Mr. Slaton
propose to try Tammany methods on
eGorgia democrats? Is that what it
means? Does he believe that Georgia
democracy Is for sale and that a new
Lorrimer may hail from Georgia? I
trust not. I warn him now, It Is a
dangerous game that he Is reported to
be playing. After making so many
miserable insinuations that I had im
proper relations, past or present, with
the express companies or some mys
terious trust, when called down hard
by me, Mr. Slaton finally, in his last
card, says he has "Indulged in no in
nuendo," and on yesterday permits
his manager to publish to all the
world the fact that I am poor, paying
only $ll.OO in taxes to the state.
Is Poverty a Disqualification?
Is poverty a disqualification? Are
only the rich, by marriage, eligible?
If so. I guess he will have to be elect
ed. for the balance of us are poor. But
when he parades my poverty, after the
twelve years of congressional service,
he gives answer, full and complete, lo
his own vile insiuations of an earlier
date. I only hope that rich or poor, he
will keep his hands as clean as mine.
Fellow democrats or Georgia. T rest
my cause. To your keeping and into
your hands I commit it. I have fought
the battles of our party, In Georgia
and out of it, all my life. I live In
south Georgia, which Is entitled to
one of these places. T am poor but
clean. T have the advantage of all
my competitors in training, experience,
equipment, and preparation tor this
work. I have never trimmed mv sails
to catch the passing breeze Whatever
wounds my party's foes and my own
have inflicted on me are on my breast
received, as I faced them, and not on
my back, received as I ran awav from
them. I am plain-spoken and hard
working. If elected I shall do my best
to make Georgia and the country a
worthy senator. If honored with your
support I shall be grateful to you far
beyond my poor powers of expression.

QUICKLY ENDS THE
WORST BACKACHE
Makes Kidney Troubles, Blad
der Disorders, and Rheu
matic Pains Vanish.
It is no lonper necessary for any one
to suffer with baekachlng, kidney trouble,
have disagreeable bladder and uTinary
disorders to contend with, or be tortured
with rheumatism, stiff joints, and its
heart-wrenching pains, for the new dis
covery, Croxone, quickly and surely re
lieves all such trobules.
Croxone is the most wonderful remedy
yet devised for ridding the stystem of
uric acid and driving out all the pois
onous impurities which cause such trou
bles. It is entirely different from all
other remedies. It is not like anything
else ever used for the purpose. It acts
on the principle of cleaning out the
poisons and removing the cause.
It soaks right in through the walls,
membranes and linings, like water in a
sponge, neutralizes, dissolves and makes
the kidneys sift out and filter away, all
the uric acid and poisons from the
blood, and leaves the kidneys arid uri
nary organs clean, strong, healthy, and
well.
It matters not how long you have suf
fered, how old you are, or what you have
used, the very principle of Croxone is
such, that it is practically impossible to
take it into the human system without
results. There is nothing else on earth
Like it. It starts to work the minute
you take it and relieves you the first
time you use it
If you suffer with paJns in your back,
and sides, or have any signs of kidney,
bladder troubles, or rheumatism, such as
puffy swellings under the eyes or in the
feet and ankles, if you are nervous,
tired, and run down, or bothered with
urinary disorders, Croxone will quickly
relieve you of your misery. You can
secure an original package of Croxone at
trifling cost from any first class drug
gist. All druggists are authorized to
personally return the purchase price if it
fails in a single case.

Hardman sentiment in Atlanta. The
strong personality of the man In

a vast deal of quiet but effective
campaigning done here by his friends.
If the normal vote of the party Is
polled next Wednesday Fulton will be
in the Hardman column.
Opposition to Hardman has practi

by overwhelming majorities. In other
counties where the race has been

Hardman forces have the edge and
will carry the county by a safe ma

become better known, Dr. Hardman
is winning votes both from the An

Notwithstanding the fact that every
confidence is expressed at his head

the campaign will be prosecuted with
vigor up until the eve of the primary,
