HdROUICK CLAIMS
He WAS HISQlJOTEO
Thinks, However, That Draft Law is
Unconstitutional Act

Washington, Aug. Ex-senator I.
w. Hardwick gave out the following
signed statement here today, charging
that he had been incorrectly reported
in certain newspapers on the army
draft question:
What purported to be an inter
view with me appeared in the Wash
ngton Post, Aug. g, 1917 1t was
copied in Georgia by the Atlanta
Constitution and other newspapers,
and as it does me an injustice and
thoroughly misrepresents my position,
| desirc>to make brief correction OF
the same although the public will
understand quite well the difficulty,
if not impossibility, of correcting
misrepresentation by newspapers
when the same is persistently, contin-
uously and wilfuliy INDUCED in.
about all that | stated to the re-
porter OF the Washington Post was
that | did not believe that there would
be any forcibie resistance OF the draft
/ law in Georgia, and that | had earn
eStly counselied against the same, but
that / was i'll sympathy with the feel
| ing of indignant protest against its
enactment that was entertained by a
great many Georgians. The inter
view represented me as saying that l
believed the law to be unconstitutlon-
al Such is not the case. What |
did say was that | was afraid the
courts might hold it constitutional in
, times of excitement like these. While
do not believe that the law is uncon-
Stitutional because in violation of the
thirteenth amendment to the consti-
tuition | do believe that it is uncon-
stitutional because it is violative OF
the fundamental principles of both
English and American liberty.
Cites Case of England
'In England for more than a thous-
ands years prior to the present war
at least, it has been part Of the in
alienable rights of Englishmen that
they should not be required to render
military service over the seas without
their consent. This was the law of
Saxon England, as expressed in King
Alfred's reign. 1t was the law OF
Norman EnglandI as expressed in
King Johns reign, in the sixteenth
chapter of Magma Charter 1t has
been since expressly reafirned in
two great English statutes, one pass
ed during the reign of King Edward
III and the other during the reign OF
King George III.
This principle was clearly recog-
nized in our constitution and has new
er been violated in all our history, pri-
or to the present war. The constitu-
ton of the United States confers on
Congress no power to raise regular
army except by the use of money and
mo power to conscript or call forth
the militia except to execute the laws
of the Union, suppress instruction
and to repel invasions.'
'In nay opinion, for this reason, the
law utterly transcends the power OF
Congress. 1t is utterly unconstitu-
tional, and that is true without regard
to the thirteenth amendment. This law

The German propaganda in the
United States is still working through
various agencies and all of them are
now centering their efforts upon peace
terms which would be to the advant-
age OF German autocracy and the dis
advantage of everybody else. When
they have no other means of carrying
on their campaign. they make a pre-
tense OF being in ignorance of the aims
and objects OF the United States in
the war. They pretend that they do
not know what this country is fighting
for. and Insist that the president must
be compelled to define the precise
terms on which the United States
would withdraw from the conflict and
leave It's allies to the mercies OF Prus.
sianism.

HIGHER SILVER
MORE MINES

With silver al SsA cents in New
York today. the prophecies OF those
who said we should have 90-cent silver
within the year are nearly verified and
probably will be wholly so in few
days. And dollar silver is nearer
every day.
AS Mr.. Frank Manson pointed out in
an interview in the Gazette within the
last few days. every time silver ad-
vances a cent II means that more of
the old Nevada properties that have
long remained idle will be brought in
again. That means more direct wealth
to the state because of increased as.
sessable property and II means more
wealth to the public because large
sums Of money are put into circula.
ton that otherwise would not make
their appearance at all.
In this connection there is not the
slightest reason for the stock market
remaining unresponsive TO the aug
mented value Of the output OF the
mines. Nevada is going to share in
the wealth that has come to the east
cru communities through the demands
OF the war. Valuable producing mine:
will certainly feel the impetus and al
ready their managers ought to be abb
to pay enlarged dividends. Dividends
themselves. do not always increase the
quotations on 'Change--as old Com
stock spectators know from expert
ence-but they would disburse tn,
wealth that is now being accumulated
and would increase public confidence
