DR.. L. G. Hardman of Commerce,

candidacy for the governorship OF
Georgia and will conduct an aggressive
campaign based on a platform of con-
structive principles that are of vital

uted in a forceful way to the upbuild-
ing of the state.
The practice of medicine and surg
cry has been DR.. Hardman's profession

forts; but he has devoted much time
to general business affairs.
By virtue of his presidency of bank
and large cotton manufacturing en-
terprise, and the fact that he is ex-
tensively engaged in farming, he has
been able to closely identify himself
with practical business problems.
There are few men in the state, pos
sfbly, who are more familiar with ag-
ricultural affairs than DR.. Hardman
and none who are more interested in
promoting the interests Of the agricul-
tural profession along broad and well
directed lines for the benefit of the en-
tire people.
He has met with marvellous success
as practical farmer and has done
some very valuable experimental work
that has resulted in great advantage

dition to the culture of staple crops on
his various farms, horticulture, live

engaged in to large extent.
