EIGHT
Progressive Democracy of Georgia
Must Win, Says Hardwick
“Gov. Slaton is Now Trying to Run From the County Unit
Rule That He Urged Upon His Own Committee,” Declares
Mr. Hardwick, the Congressman
Atlanta, G a#—Congressman Thomas
W. Hardwick, candidate for th«* short
term In the United Htatea senate,
Thursday issued a second statement,
In which he* asserts that the Macon
convention “will be organised and
controlled by the progressive Demo*
# crata of this state and the election of
two senators from that wins of our
party and from the friends of the
Wilson administration is a certainty.
His statement follows:
f "In his announcement for the sen
ate, April 19, 1914. Mr. 8 tat on said:
** 'Only recently i urged upon the
state executive committee of our party
the importance of preserving the full
lights of even the smallest county.
And I am pleased to note that in the
rules adopted for determining the
contest in which T snail he engaged
such is done, in conformity with tho
rlarform on which I was nominated
for governor.'
"After having ran sway in the cam
paign from every Issue that was rais
ed and* from every debate that was
suggested. Mr. Hinton now tries to
tun from tiie county unit rule that lie
‘urged* upon his own committee and
had established. Seeing defeat star
ing him In the face under the rules of
his own urging he wishes to give to
the ballots and to the first and second
choice of counties a sigfinicance widely
different from that they had on the
day of the primary. He played the
game under itiles that he made him
self, and now with the game almost
finished wants to change the rules in
his favor He will not he allowed to
do it. Whether he wishes to do so
or not. he must play it out according
to his original rules, win or lose.
He Made Hi« Own Bed.
"Let me. nay in passing that if the
rules had been what he now suggests,
it would have made a groat difference
in the conduct of my campaign as I
should have fought f<»r every vote in
(Georgia, even in counties that I had
no Mope of carrying, and I feel reason
ably sure, in that event, that my pop
ular vote instead of being Just two
or three thousand behind him, would
have been many thousand larger than
him. In any event, no man can tell,
with any wrutney, what difference it
might have made in the popular vote
if Ihe people had known on the day of
the proinary that every vote was to
count for the candidate for whom it
was cast regardless of county results
1 urged that course upon the commit
tee. Mr. Hist on opposed it and the
committee stood with him and not
with me Ho Mr. Slaton lias made his
own bed and must lie In It The peo
ple of Georgia will not permit him to
get Into a different one during this
contest.
*'l am not very deeply impressed
with cither the fairness or candor of
Mr Slaton’s statement to the effect,
'one hundred and one counties say
they do not want Mr. Hardwick for
senator. One hundred and thirty-one
ccunties out of one hundred and for
ty-eight say the.v either want me as
first choice or want me ns second
choice.'
"In other words in comparing his
vote with mine. Mr. Slaton counts for
me only the counties in which I ran
first, leaving out the countlch in which
1 ran second, while in marshaling his
own vote he counts for himself every
county In which he ran either first or
second It seems to it»p that such ut
ter nonsense would not even please
his own partisans.
*’! am sorry that the little talk 1
made to s large crowd of niv loyal
and devoted friends in the Kimball
House lobby on the nigh! of the elec
tion did not meet with Mr Slaton’s
approval. Many of these men had
work ml hard for me all day at the
polls and 1 fell so grateful to them 1
could not resist saying so. That Is
all.
Mr. Wilson's Attitude.
‘Again 1 beg to express niv deep
regret that my progress! ven©## on
parcel post currency bill, etc., is not
of so rabid a type ns to meet with Mr.
Hintons approval True. President
Wilson, whose opportunity for knowl
edge of these matters may possibly be
hi least equal to that of Mr Slaton,
seems to think otherwise and to be
lieve 1 am allright; still Mr. Slaton Is
such a recent convert to the progres
sive wing of our party that with the
usual seal of a recent convert he sim
ply out-Herod* Jlerod In the radical

"There's a Heaton"
senator, it Is my judgment that an
extra election for governor would be
necessary otherwise, section 96 of the
code of Georgia must be given a con
struction that makes It possible to put
the executive power for more than six
months in hands of the presiding offi
cer of the senate, and the intent of the
law is not to permit that. However,
I do not regard this question as of
much importance, as I am sure that
Mr. Hfutori will not be elected to the
senate, but will fill out the balance
of his term as governor. If J am elect
td to the senate, there would be no
necessity to fill the remaining three
months of my term as a member of
the house. The Democratic party has
149 majority in the house and can do
without the vote for three months.
The precedents for this course are
numerous, but if. after my election, it
seems best to fill the seat in the house
niy successor, Who has already been
selected by the Democrats of the dis
trict, can be chosen at. the November
election to fill out the three months
of my term, at the same time ho i*
being elected to the next congress.
Otherwise —No 'Cues.
"The hysterics of Mr. Slaton and of
his organ, Mr. llearst's paper, over
‘packed* conventions and 'ring* poli
ticians, is so absurd as to rival comic
opera. May Heaven preserve Mr. Sla
ton, dauntless champion of the people,
great exponent of popular rights, and
of progressive policies, from the steam
roller of a 'packed' convention, and
from tfn* trickery of ring’ politicians.
The entire state ought to rise up, as
one man, and save Mr. Slaton from
the wicked 'ring' politicians, other
wise we may have no more barbecues.
"His own strong-arm methods in
trying to force the selection of dele
gates favorable to himself from coun
ties carried by Mr. Felder and myself
ought, it seems to me, to preclude him
from now playing the baby act.

THE LITTLE DEWHOP.
One morning a little dewdrop, which
wns more fortunate than it# brothers
escaped the hot breath of the Hiln by
h' ling under the leaf of a roue, ‘”i

it said to the rose. ’*l/et me be your

Now. thin rose wan vary vain, and
#he listened to the little dewdrop be
cause #he was anxious to be more
beautiful than her Mister#. So she
kept a soft curling petal over the little
drop until the sun had gone away.
‘I #hal) bo the most beautiful rose
In the garden tonight when the moon

Jewel and my #i#ter# have none."
The poor little dewdrop thought the

nml sparkled its brightest as the
moon light streamed over the garden.
Hut the rose only raised her proud
lead and looked at the nightingale,
which was singing near her.
"Am 1 not beautiful?" she said. "I
am the only one in the garden who
wears a Jewel." The nightingale came
nearer and told her she was Indeed
the most beautiful of all.
The little dowdmp trembled as it
listened to the words of the vain rose,
aml it knew that there was no love In
the heart of the rose save for herself.
*‘lb* careful," said the rose as she
felt the dewdrop tremble "you w'tll
fall, and that will spoil mv beauty."
Hut you promised to he my sweet

LITTLE ANNIE.

Onm upon a tlm* an old man
Uv«vl with bid granddaughter In

<lr«|. forest. Each morning he
»<-nt out to chop wood and Annin

rooms and then *he would go to
tlo> wood* and pick wild flowers
and tie them up in bunches.
She then went out and stood
oil the corner hold tux the flower*
out to the people that paaxed. In
this way ahe earned a few pennies
which she brought home to her
graudfatlier.
Poor Annie, 1 am afraid site did
not have a very pleasant time, for
there was not much to eat and
she was often hungry. One day
as she was standing on a corner
trying to sell her flowers a lady
stopped to buy a bunch and she
gave her a few extra pennies.
The lady naked ahout her, who
ahe lived with and where her
home was. The next dav she
came again and told Annie she
wanted to go home with her and
see her grandfather. They walked
home to the cottage and found
grandfather was there. The lady
said site wanted Annie to come
mid live with her. that ahe would
give her warm clothes and lei her
go to school, so Annie went to live
with her kind friend and never
had to go out selling flowers
after that, lwit ahe never forgot
to give aome of her pennies to any
poor little chthlren that she saw
and would ask them to come and
see her
One dav a little girl was stand

hardly hold them. Annie saw her
and came up and told her to come

THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA.
gates from Mr. Felder and myself in
counties carried by us, have been O*b
served by all men, and was anticipat
ed . On July 3, 1914 there was a meet
ing of Mr. Slaton’s state committee
called by retiring chairman Harris.
At that meeting Mr. Hall, of Bibb,
proposed a modification of the rules
governing this primary, so as to pro
vide that the delegates from each
county should be selected from among
the friends of the candidate for sen
ator who had carried that county, as
well as the friends of the successful
candidate for governor. Mr. Slaton’s
friends on the committee promptly
defeated this resolution by adjourning
the committee before the resolution
could bo voted on.
"This was plain notice to all Geor
gia. of what was to be expected from
Mr. Hlaton. He has been caught, red
handed, in his efforts to purloin from
Mr. Felder and myself delegates from
Ware, Colquitt, Campbell, Hen Hill,
Butts and many other counties that I
could name, and he now exercises his
lungs, to the amusement of the state,
by shouting veriferously ‘Stop thief
as he endeavors to get away with th©
goods himself.
“Ilis effforts to do so have failed.
We have checked them everywhere.
His nomination at Macon is an im
possibility. We are going to insist
that he shall fill out his term as gov
ernor ‘without regard to the entice
ments of a more alluring prize.’ It
will and ought to be a long itrne be
fore this state is again treated to the
unfortunate spectacle of its governor
as a candidate for office in a primary
contest and a hustler after votes in
a convention fight, summoning his
henchmen to the capitol and execu
tive mansion of Georgia in droves and
swarms, abusing the powers and low
ering the dignity of the high office to
which lie was elected in a vain effort
to elect himself to another place.
“The Macon convention, I assert
with every confidence, will be organiz
ed and controlled by the progressive
Democrats of this state, and the elec
tion of two senators from that wing
of our party and from the friends of
the Wilson administration is a cer
tainty.
"In the short term contest., my
friends naturally hope for my success,
as 1 have long led in both delegates
and popular votes over any other pro
gressive candidate.
"THOMAS W. HARDWICK."
Atlanta, Gtu, Aug. 27, 1914.
"and now you do not notice me and
listen to the nightingale."
"Why, you silly little drop." replied
the rose, "do you expect one as beau
tiful as I am to be in love with you?
That you should love me is not to be
wondered at, and that I allow you to
remain near me and love me should
l»e quite enough for you to expect.
Your love for me makes me appear
more beautiful, and 1 let you rest upon
my soft cheek "
The poor little dewdrop shrank
away as he heard the cruel words of
the haughty rose and moved nearer
to her heart, thinking that pity might
move her if nothing else
But the proud rose gave it no word
of pity or love, and the dewdrop rolled
into her heart and was absorbed by
her. more beautiful than ever the next
morning.
The rose is like many people In this
world, who expect and take all the
love and friendship the generous na
ture's of their friends offer snd never
think of giving one word of sympathy
or love for all these blessings.
And the little dewdrop Is like many
others who give their love, and wor
ship to those so far removed from
their sphere in life that the one to
whom they are given never known of
the gifts offered, or sees the giver.
Love and friendship are priceless
gifts, but they will not bloom or give
forth their sweetness unless they tako
root in the heart of a friend.
If these gifts are given to one who,
like the rose, receives them only be
cause they think them their Just due.
they will lie dormant, forgotten in
time by both the giver and the one
who receives them.
they went to Annie's home snd
the little girl wan fed and clothed
in a dress of Annie’s and she went
home warm and happy.

THE WAYS OF THRIFT
(Copyrighted, 1914, American Society
for Thrift).
BUYING CANNING FRUIT.
Do you know what it costs con
sumers to have "only the best” on
ther tables? You know that some
people, whether their grocer’s bill is
paid or not, insist on having fruits,
meats and vegetables of a perfection
that costs like sixty. It is fine for
the grower who can supply that sort,
in case he shares the high prices paid
by the consumer.
Take the peaches In the markets in
northern cities. There are small
green peaches tinder red mosquito
netting, and big peaches in baskets,
and still bigger ones from the west
In boxes. Then there are mammoth
peaches wrapped in paper, all pink
and gold, a temptation to any appe
tite, and those are the peaches that
sell as "the best.” There has been
keen rivalry to have the biggest and
finest because the big returns in pro
portion to labor are for the producer
of the things for the Spendthrift's
table. Time was when the biggest
peaches were no larger than green ap
ples that drop In .Tune. Then some
one developed a variety known as the
"Elberta" and millions of Elherta
peach trees, hearing fruit as big as an
unhusked walnut, or even larger, were
planted. Now the market marvel is
a peach larger, as big as a ripe ap-

ple. and known as the "Hale.”
When plain peaches, small but juicy
rich ones, cell for SI.OO a bushel at the
orchard and all kinds of prices to the
consumers, the Elbertas bring $1.25,
but Hale peaches, $2.50 a bushel.
When a housewife orders “send your
best” she pays the piper these days,
though she pets peaches unbelievably
big and fine, it is true.
This is a case of high efficiency in
horticulture, for the Hale peach for
the “send-the-best” people, makes the
big profits these days. One man took
$1,420 from 133 trees of that variety.
The reasons are size, color, taste and
the fact that ten days before ripen
ing the Hale peaches turn a beautiful
“ripe" color, but are hard enough to
ship In a barrel. If the consumers’
side were studied equally well, the
cost of living problem would be sim
plified.
But a lot of people will pay even
40 cents a piece for peaches like that,
although the grocer usually has to
wait a long time for the cash. These

THE LAST SHOT
The Herald’s New Serial
Frederick Palmer, as a correspondent, has witnessed all of
the wars and insurrections of note in the last two decades, and his
remarkable story is based upon his observations and experiences.
It contains none of the wild improbabilities, the thrilling air con
flicts of modem novelists, but recounts battles virtually as they are
being fought in the air and on the fields of Europe, as a result of
the development of war tactics and armaments.
“The Last Shot” is a terrific arraignment of war, a prophecy
of the struggle now taking place and a prediction that the awful
cost will teach all nations a lesson they will not soon forget.

perity of the world would largely fall
into America’s lap.
Mr. Mann voted for the bill, al
though he said he regretted provisions
in it that terminated parts of treaties
with foreign nations respecting wages
and desertions.
Representative Humphrey i f Wash
