SAVANNAH, GA, May d. reports
which have every evidence OF rell-
bility and which have reached Sava-
nah in the last few days are to the
effect that Senator Thomas w. Hard
wich will not offer for reelection.
Savannahians who profess to know
Mr.. Hardkick's intentions say they
have learned on the best OF author
ity that the Junior Senator had de-
cided not to risk humiliating defeat
and therefore, will not go before the
people as a candidate again.
Recently it has become apparent that
the fancied Hardwick strength about
which so much was said few months
ago does not arise according t oper~
sons who travel a great deal in Geor~
gia and who have opportunity to learn
the sentiment of the people.
The extent of his popularity IS
said to have been brought home to
Mr.. Hardwick very forcibly in num-
Der OF ways in the last few weeks and
this doubtless accounts for his decision
10 retire to private life, it is ex-
plained.
Savannahians who have bee1 in the
country districts have been amazed to
learn just how offensive the junior
Senator has become to the people IN
sections that were supposed to be
Hardwick strongholds. In the very
counties which were reputed to be hot
most pronounced feeling against him.
This is a fact on whish nearly all OBJ
servers agree.
The manner in which the Harris SEN
timent has swept the state is said
to have broufht Hardwick to a con-
sciousness of the hopelessness of his
case. While Hardwick has the reputa-
ton of being a scrapper, persons who
have had occasion recently to hear
from him say that he is unwilling to
flaunt himself in the face of the public
opinion as it now exists in Georgia
There have been reports that Hard
wick had great many supporters in
