Why Anderson Will Make
Georgia a Good Governor

J. Randolph Anderson.
offered Georgia voters a progressive and constructive plat
form of principles.
6.—He proposes to cut the politics of the state in half,
thus removing agitation and conducing to bettter business.
7.—He is a num of strong convictions and principles and
believes in the e P'oicement of all the laws.
B.—He is indorsed by farrier, merchant, laborer and capi
talist and takes pride in the indorsement of ail because it is
i an evidence of his sense of fairness and justice.
9.—He has always given everybody and every interest
I a square deal.
10.—He is a thoroughly democratic gentleman and in
Georgia’s highest office would be a credit to the State.
A hundred other reasons might as easily be given.
No man has proposed a more substantial policy for the
benefit of the farmers of Georgia than has Mr. Anderson.
His plan to put substantial guarantee of title back of rural
■redits, means that rural credits will be welcomed alike
by lender and borrower. Drainage, good highways, pub
lic health, education, are some of the subjects he presents
with first thought for Georgia's agricultural districts.
Randolph Anderson is a native of Georgia, born in Sa
| vannah, September 4,1861. He is a member of the Protest
ant Episcopal Church, and a vestryman in Christ Church.
Savannah. He is a Mason, a Knight of Pythias and an Elk.
: He is a lawyer by profession, and has served Chatham
county three terms in the House and one in the Senate.
The united business men of Savannah have indorsed him
as a man, “broad, big and capable.” The Chatham county
executive committee has indorsed him as “a man wiio, as
governor, would reflect the best traditions of the State.”
Out of more than a hundred Georgia newspapers which
have made complimentary' reference to him, the following
are selected at random:
