CONGRESSMAN T. w. HARDWICK
APPEALS TO ALL GEORGIANS TO
SUPPORT GOV. WOODROW WILSON

by the special interests of the country
that seek and subsist upon legislative
and government favoritism. Watch the
lineup in Georgia and throughout tn,
union. There is usually some one candi
date in each of the great parties Il
whose nomination these selfish interests
are opposed, because they know thai
the election of such a candidate would
mean an end of their special privileges
and favors, and the preservation of the
rights and interests of all the people
Their opposition is always a badge OF
honor, the surest guaranty of the hon.
esty and good faith of the man they op-
pose. In this fight their guns are
trained not on Harmon, not on Clark
not on Underwood, but on Woodrow
Wilson.
Seventh. Although the brilliant
leader of a nationwide following, and
although no sectional boundar or state
line can limit his fame and influence OIL
dwarf his usefulness, Woodrow Wilson
on purely sentimental grounds, appeals
more strongly than any other candidate
to the entire south, and especially tc
the state of Georgia
GEORGIA'S OWN MAN.
Born Of long and unbroken line OF
pure-blooded southern ancestry on both
that was glorified by southern heroism
and immortalized by Jacksons genius
the son of a devout and godly Presby-
terrain minister, his early boyhood and
shoolboy days were spent in our own
state, at Augusta; he was educated on
southern soil, in Georgia, the Carolinas
and Virginia; began his life's work as
member of the Georgia bar, at Allan
tie, and won on Georgia sill the greatest
triumph that can ever grace his career
when he won the heart and hand of a
loving and lovely Georgia woman
whom Georgia is about to help install
in the White House as "the first lady
Of the land" No Georgian need go, in
this campaign, to Ohio or Indiana, OF
to Missouri, or even to Alabama for a
candidate. We have one of our own in
Woodrow Wilson.
I'm his early manhood one of the
great universities of the north called
him to its faculty and subsequently ele-
waited him to the distinction of it's presi-
dency, and not long ago the people of
Republican and boss-ridden New Jersey
reversed the presidents of more than
generation to make him the first
Democratic governor that state has had
in many years. Wearing all these high
honors wIln democratic modesty, win
trated southern manhood and Georgia
manhood, bone of our bone, and flash
of our fiesh," the glorious gift of Geor-
gia and the south to the whole nation
and to American craftsmanship.
THE IDEAL CANDIDATE
The most brilliant figure in public
life totiay-the strongest candidate our
party can name-an American of broad
and patriotic views, of honest and force
full purpose, a southerner Ito the manner
BORN" Georgian by long years of resi-
denoe in our commonwealth and by the
sacrd ties of matrimony, Woodrow Will
son is, in my judgment, our ideal candi-
date, whether the question be viewed
from the standpoint Of the good Of our
country, the success of our party, the
recognition of our section, or the exalta-
ton of our state
HE stands for the principles in
which we believe and guarantees the
success we ccae. L-anpeaI to- Georgt. rs
