outlined by Joseph A. McCord, of the Re-
gional bank and other topics of vital
interest to the organization. L. p. Hill
var. of the Bibb National bank, repre-
sentinS the Federal Reserve bank, made

the Velvet Bean Millers' association, by
adopting the Trade Acceptance" plan,
would be the means of hberating mil
lions of dollars through rediScountS py
banks to the government.

and while Judge Cobb is reading you OUT
of the party if you vote for me, the
Hardwick headquarters are sending out
men in automobiles to conduct a secret
propaganda throughout the state, whis-
pering to Howard supporters that they
ought not to throw their votes away,
but ought to vote for Harris. And why
does Hardwick say vote for Harris?
Because he knows that his only chance
on earth to return to the senate is to
get a turnover with Harris, whom he
will eat up in the second primary.
Respects to Editor Rowe
"And then comes the Hon. Hugh
Rowe, editor of the Athens Banner. Tho
best recommendation that a man can
have is his opposition in Clarke county
prolonged and 1proarious applause and
cheers) 1 want to thank Mr.. Rowe. 7
want my friends to thank him. He has
made me hundreds of supporters among
men who never saw me. (Another out
burst, loud and prolonged)
And while thanking Mr.. Rowe, l want
to thank also my friend. Gene Carroll,
the editor of the Herald man who has
had the honesty and self-respect to give
me decent treatment, even If he is
against me. And when go to the sem
ate (shouts of. You're sure going
there, Bnl!) 1 want to say that any
thing 1 can do for Gene Carroll will
be done gladly, even if he has opposed
me. (Applause.)
Now, my friends, having cleared UP
the underbrush, 1 will get down to the
main subject of my speech, which is
the senatorial record of Thomas w.
HardwiCk."
And then Mr.. Howard, in spite of his
exhaustion. delivered a very powerful
and effective attack on the junior sena-
tors pre-war record, showing that he
has never been a progressive or in any
sense the friend of the farmers or the
legitimate business interests of the
state or the nation but has always been
a reactionary and the dependable ally of.
the corporations and special interests.
After arraigning his ,pre-war record he
then attacked the Junior senator's rec
ord of obstruction against the great,
Indispensable measures to prosecute the
war, showing that the defeat of these
measures would have paralyzed the will
of the nation to crush the Prussian mill
tary machine.
Dealing with Harris, he touched up
that gentleman's career as president OF
a fire insurance company, aroused a
great deal of merriment with his de-
scription of the Harris Investigations
of gasoline and coal, pictured him In
the role of a second Rasputin, hypno-
tizing everybody in the White House
and recited extracts from the famous
CarrolIton speech in which Mr.. Harris
claimed twenty-five times as much in
duence in Washington as any other
Georgian.
Then in conclusion, Mr.. Howard gave
a summary of his own record as MEM
Der of congress for the past eight years.
and closed with a stirring appeal to the
patriotic sentiments of the audience. 1t
was a great occa sion for the Howard
forces. The Howard leaders feel that
the county will go for Howard beyond
doubt They plan to organize club
and launch an active campaign next
week.

ord in public life; a bitter arraignment
of Senator Hardwick and the usual ref
erences tc Tom Watson's and woodrow

the customary laughter.
Given Cordial Hearing
At each place Mr.. Harris was given
a cordial hearing and applause was
frequent when Mr.. Harris praised Pres

crowd arplauded vigorously when MI
Harris, with emphasis. stated that "thH
man who voted for Hardwick was stab
bling his soldier boy and his sailor boy
in the back"
Vehement applause also greeted the
statement by Mr.. Harris that he had
been informed by telegram from his At
lanta headquarters "that the good men
and good women of Gordon county, or
the day that Senator Hardwick spoke
there recently in behalf of his candi-
dacy, had removed the service flag
which had been unfurled on the wall OF
the court room, because they were not
going to let that flag, which meant sc
much to them, remain in view as Ions
as Tom Hardwick stood beside it."
After being introduced at Claxton By
Rev. DR.. w. B.. Screws, pastor of tbs
Primitive Baptist church. Mr.. Harris
began his speech by telling his audience
of the events that led up to the war
praising Woodrow Wilson for. the ef.
forts he had made to keep the United
States out of war and declaring thai
"the very men who said more than
wear ago that woodrow Wilson was q
coward for not declaring war are tht
same men who today are loudest in theii
protest of this country going to war.
eff you don't stand up to your pres1'
dent. your commander-in-chief, you are
stabbing your soldier and sailor boys

either for your country or you are
against II. There is no halfway
