Seventeen Reasons why Hard
wick Isn't Fit For the
Senate.

error failed to appear as II bashful fabrica
tons.
One of Hardwick's II failings is his maiden
modesty
1t is a great handicap to T. w., and
source of continual embarrassment to those
antiWatson bipeds who are classed as Hard
wick's ''friends'
His 'friends" might all be kept dry, EATER
n0zly, during hard shower, by one big
buggy umbrella.
Of course, the anti Watson men need more
than one
Those men who seek to climb into office on
the backs of the over worked haters of your
Uncle T. E. W. had better take warming from
the fate of Badly Harris.
Things have changed. The anti-Watson
asset is not so valuable as it used to be, and
1t grows less valuable every day.
(2.) Because he was repudiated by his
own District In 1910, and never has been
endorsed by it, since.
He was repudiated because Of his utter fail
ure as a Congressman, that failure being due
to his bad personal habits his lack of atten-
ton to public duty, and his lack of Informal
ton upon great public questions.
In 1910, he secured another term because Of
the nti-Hardwick votes which were thrown
to Mr. Eve, at the Wadley precinct in Jetfer-
son County, when under the re-arranged
plan of the anti HardWick campaign. those
votes should have gone to Mr.. Evans.
But for this mistake at one precinct in one
county, Hardwick would have been defeated.
A similar mistake in one precinct of Talia-
ferro County lost it to Mr.. Eve.
The present Representative from Italia
ferro, Mr.. Stone, faxed about so letters in
which [ was made to advise my friends in
Taliaferro to vote for Mr.. Evans. AS a mat
ter of fact, the county had been assigned to
Mr.. Eve, under the pre- arranged plan of
campaign
Had not this fraud been practised by Mr.
Stone, our accidental loss of Jefferson county
would not have saved Hardwick
l knew that some trick had been worked
on us in Taliaferro, and that we had lost a
county that is against Hardwick
But it was not until few days ago that |
learned who worked the fraud, and how it
was done.
The Hon. Mr. Stone will not deny his dirty
work. On the contrary, he boasts of it,
He will answer to the people of Taliaferro,
if he ever asks another office at the hands of
the people he victimized with his fake letters.
Whether he forged mig name to those letters,
[ have not yet learned, but will try to ascer-
tain.
Thus you will see that the Tenth District
was saved to Hardwck by an honest mistake
in Jefferson, and dishonest trick IN Talia-
ferro.
In 1912, he was saved by another series of
queer happenings.
Judge Horace Holden resigned from the
Supreme Court land took up his residence in
Augusta for the express purpose of running
against Hardwick.
Horace Holden could easily have defeated
Hardwick, and both men kneoU 1t.
But Holden came down, and left the field
to Hardwick.
Then ex-Congressman William H. Flem-

He quit the field, and 1t qO0S too late to put
out another candidate.
Even then, several of the counties went for
Fleming
The literal truth is, that we beat Hardwlck
to a FRAGILE in 1910, and he has been in hope
less and dWindling minority ever since.
That's a02y he entered the race for the Sen-
cite.
He knew that he could not possibly be re-
elected to Congress.
He is not counting on the Senatorship at
all; but is playing his cards with view to
getting a Federal appointment from Presl-
dent Wilson.
4 man acho IS on the decline, because Of has
confirmed bad Io6its, isn't fit to represent
Georgia in the T. S. Senate
(3.) Hardwick has no settled convictions.
He bitterly denounced the new Currency
bill and published that Pronunciation to the
world.
He took exactly the same position on the
measure, that [ did.
Yet, after damaging the Administration
all he could by his fierce attacks on the
Administration bill, he Topped overnight and
gave it his vote.
In the Sugar Trust natter he went into a
prolonged investigation, at the head of a
Congressional Committee.
Here, indeed he had fine opportunity to
display zeal in the public service. Also, to
give evidence of the mental ability of which
he speaks so often. and SO bashfully.
What did he do?
lie 0U0Ued the Sug0r Trust lobby to ecirae
and dine him., a0hiZe he ecos trying the Sugar
Trust c08e
What would you think of our Supreme
Court judges, if they were to allow an alleged
illegal Trust to wine them and dine them,
qchjze they acero trying q case against the
alleged zaU-6reaher?
What would you think of grand jury that
would allow themselves to be wined and dined
by an accused person who had already been
"presented" to that body?
Hardwick must have been influenced by the
winning and dining, or By something else, for
he made no report against the Sugar Trust,
and made no recommendation against it.
The Trust advanced the price of sugar
while it was Whining and dining Hardwick,
the collarless man.
H0rdocich came out IN the papers, defend-
ing the Trust for raising the price Of sugar.
You can draw your own conclusions.
a. AS to the Parcels Post he stood for
the Express Companies against the people.
The record shows it, and he at first tried to
brazen it out.
Then he heard ''passing breeze" and
decided to trim his sails to catch this pass
ing breeze.
In other words, he suddenly quit bucking
the Parcels Post, and decided that his vassal-
age to the Express Companies would have
to be restrained, until after the 18th of
Auqust.
(5.) On the question of the County unit,
he stood with the country people for - years,
because the County-unit plan was keeping
him in Congress.
The very moment he saw chance to reap
the benefit of the Hoke Smith campaign for

Senator Thomas, of Colorado,
Voted For the Nigger Judge,
and Wants You TO Vote
For HOke Smith.

HE city papers that are Fighting the conn.,
try counties, in order that all political
poecer may be conferred In the cities, are sup
porting Hoke Smith.
Of course.
The city papers that are trying to work
counties are eager to make it appear that
Hoke Smith did not deal a foul blow to the
late Senator A. O. Bacon.
Of course!
These city papers are publishing letter
from Senator G. A. Thomas, of Colorado, to
prove that Smith didn't do it; and they
allude proudly to the fact that Senator
Thomas was born in Bibb County, Georgia
But those city papers do not tell you the
facts about Thomas himself.
Senator Thomas voted for that negro
Judge, Bob Terrell, who now sits OUer the
qrhjte people, of the capital of the greatest
nation on earth.
Let Senator Thomas write another letter
and tell us why he did that!
Senator Thomas is a foul traitor to the
State of his BIRTH and to the people of his
own color.
No Georgian who votes to put a black
Judge in authority over white folks is entitled
to any respect at the hands of the Georeians
who have not betrayed their race and their
State
Nothing worse than that was done in
Reconstruction days.
The Carpet-baggers and the Scalawags
never treated us to a greater humiliation.
Shame upon Senator Thomas, the Geor-
gian by birth: he went back on his blood, his
raising, his race and his civilization.
Shame upon H0he Smith, FOR USING

Why didn't he give us the testimony of

nation of moratorium" that is a ca

much in our individual cases-that is
to say, give us permission to post

moratorium in effect means that 1t

notes against a given amount Of gold

1t isn't the first time it has been me-
cessary for the British government to
help the Bank of England. During
the whole period of the Napoleonic
wars, or for "a years, the bankk lived
by special legislation. In 1s47, again
in 1857. once more in 1856 and as
late as 1890 at the time of the Barring
Brothers stupendous failure, the
Bank Of England had to be helped.
In the last-named instance the Bank
of France came to It's rescue with a
vast quantity OF gold. Even a ten. per
cent discount rate-the highest in a
century-now fails to keep gold in
the Bank Of England. Therefore, the
law governing its actions is suspended.
