are ready to go, even though they must
leave their property behind. The rest
of us will look after their holdings
If necessary. We are all patriots,

PENDLETON OUT
FOR ]. HILL HALL
Macon Telegraph, Old Time
Party Spokesman, in Line
for Lion of Bibb."

The Macon Telegraph, Charles r.
Pendleton's newspa per. has announced
It's staunch support of Joe Hill Hall for
governor.
The Telegraph speaks in high terms
Of John NJ. Slaton, Mr. Halls only OPP
ponent at this time. referring to him as
"a manly man and a fine Georgian"
but it believes that Joe Hill Hall is, Of
all candidates. real and prospective, the
one who has been freest from factional
alignments in Georgia. and that he is
therefore, the one in whom factionalism
might be buried deepest.
The Telegraph believes that the re-
tirement of honest, confding Tom
Hudson opens the way for Georgians
to enjoy this summer one of those old
fashioned Democratic family rows, in
which bitterness and ranCor will cut no
figure, and in which genuine and vital
issues, principles and the best things
for Georgia Will be discussed by rival
candidates and their supporters, to the
exclusion of personalities and mere
men.
Hudson Out Helps Hall.
The Telegraph says that the retire
ment of Hudson has greatly strength
ened Hall, particularly throughout
south Georgia. 1t speaks of Hall as
bold. fearless and honest" says he
would make an ideal governor at this
time and refers to him almost af-
feetionately as the old lion of Bib"
No newspaper in Georgia speaks more
nearly by the card for the conservative,
old fashioned Democracy of this state
than does The Telegraph. It's support
of Joe Hill Hall undoubtedly means
that his candidacy will be taken very
seriously by thousands of Georgians
and that a stout hearted effort to land
him in the governors Office is now we'll
under way.
The Telegraph predicts a sure and
steady development of Hall strength
all along the line within the next few
weeks.
