GEORGIA FARMERS ARE
A UNIT FOR BROWN

Atlanta, Ga. July 28.-From the
ports pouring into headquarters from
all parts of the state, Governor Brown
will not only be reelected by greatly
increased majorities, but all indica-
tons point to landslide for a further
continuation of the present period OF
high wages, prosperity and good times.
The former Brown supporters are
working quietly and earnestly and re-
port the conversion of thousands CT
former Smith supporters.
These state that the change has
been brought about, not through ora
tory or discussion, but because this
race is no longer looked upon as a pO-
litical campaign, but as a mild effort
on the part of Georgia's best-Enown
farmers, business men and solid citj-
zens to prevent upsetting the founda-
tons of this present administration,
based on sound business policies, con
servatism and common sense.
The universal sentiment is pretty
we'll expressed by one farmer who
writes from Habersham:
eve don't propose TO take any
chances of interrupting this present
Iperiod of 10 IL cent cotton, $1.25 corn
and the highest price for fruit, garden
truck and all farm products in 40
years. We have been waiting and
working for just these conditions too
long to take any chances, now that we
really have them We have money in
bank, are sending our children to col
lege; our lands are worth almost doc
BILE what they were three years ago,
and are still rapidly advancing. II
ever there was a time to leave well
enough alone, this is that time. That 5
why I'm voting for Governor Brown
this time, after trying both admins
trations. And a very great many OF
NJ neighbors are doing the same"
Another farmer in South Georgia
sums up conditions in that section as
follows:
eve are solid for Governor Brown
down here. We've got just what We
EWant-and what we have wai7ed for
so iong--and believe that any, change
al this time would be DANGEROUS. We
don't propose to disturb these good
times ourselves or Lex others do SO, If
W. can help it Wac NJ! Smith now
insists that he IS for conservatism, a
VII die year must eiap3e between the
eIrCtion and inauguration. IN case
OF NJ. Smiths election this would
mean a long year Gf suspense, and
even granting that he would this time
continue the present policy of con-
servatism and business-like policies
that intervening twelve months would
certainly upset and disturb the pres
ent conditions Of high wages and un-
precedented prosperity for the farm
err. Traits why so many of us are this
time disregarding all politics, person
alities and everything else in favor OF
the sound, conservative business poll
cies we are now enjoying"
Endorsements of Governors Browns
action in preserving peace and the
protection of women and children, as
well as property from the threatened
riot of Italians at Durham mines, are
pouring in from all parts of the
state since his message, with many
afiidayits, presented the true and grave
condition of affairs The full text
of this message, which appeared in the
daily press, proved that the action
was not only necessary, but-accord-
ing to those on the ground-that blood
shed and a reign of terror was mar
rowly ayerted and the governor Wen
hosts of new admirers as a result.
