GEORGIA LANDOWNERS ORGANIZE

Of more than usual Importance to
business interests in this section is
the decision of the Georgia Land Own
ers' Association to begin an active
campaign for betteremnt of condi-
lions in South Georgia. The board of
directors of the association recently
held a meeting at Waycross, where
plans for the campaign to be inaug-
urated soon were discussed and agreed
upon.
There will be held under auspices
of the association a series of forty
meetings at various points in South
Georgia, and membership campaign
designed to increase the associations
enrolment from one to three thous-
and members, will be launched The
purpose in increasing the membership
is to make the association more mill
tant in its efforts and to stimulate
the live stock industry and mobilize
the agricultural forces of South Geor-
gia to do their share in winning the
war.
The association will also take steps
looking toward the enactment of leg
islation to provide appropriations for
the establishment of forage expert
ment stations in Georgia, fastening
the work of tick eradication and amel-
iorating the stray dog nuisance

HARDWICK'S APPOINTMENT.

The appointment of Thomas w.
Hardwick to be chairman of the Sen
ate committee on immigration, and the
opposition which developed there
before the appointment was announced,
is but another indication Of the use
lessnes Of keeping such a man in the
senate. Hardwick, during all of his
political career, has stood as the
friend of restricted immigration, and,
mayhaps, in days past and gone, his
influence may have been potent in pro-
noting this cause. Certain it is that
Hardwick, in his support of the A. P
A. movement at Augusta has incurred
the lasting enmity of the Catholic
voters Of Georgia. There is no gain
saying this fact. The truth is, the
bellicose Georgia senator, once boast
ed the fact that he opposed all things
foreign, including the Catholic church
and its activities,
Those who stood with him in the
thick Of his fight against Catholicism
are even yet counted as among Hard
wick's best friends-but even these
are deserving him. The Americas

chanics, recently adopted former res

Hardwick to the Craftsmanship OF the.

of the man toward the issue is not

A COLUMN OF CLIPPINGS
The Senatorial Race.


The Recorder says that
neither w D. Upshay, Bunk Cooper
or Emmett Shaw can command the
funds necessary to a senatorial cam
paign
This is true in a way. 1t is not true
in another way. Either Upshaw, Coop
er or Shaw could win the senatorial
race, with what funds they are actual
ly putting into the campaign, if theirs
was a sufficiently strong personality
and reputation to make their cam
paign something to be seriously con
sidered by newspapers and politicians
and after these the people generally
Neither can win, no matter what
money they put into it and it is
blessing in disguise that they are not
able to spend too much money for
that purpose It's pity they are go
ing to waste what they are putting
into it.
Without reference to the financial
ability of these gentlemen it is with
out question matter of no little dis
appointment to the people of Georgia
that political campaigns are largely
contingent upon the ability of candi-
dates to spend money in travelling,
mailing letters and advertising. There
are many men in Georgia today, who
would be glad to give their services
to their state, if it did not require
hard campaign lots of money and
six to twelve months time to get elect
ed
These are the first and primary
qualifications however, money and
time A poor man with unusual abili-
ty may perhaps interest some friend
in his campaign and get money with
which to put it before the people. If
he does not, his name is mud and if
he does he is often accused of being
bought for the man, who thinks well
enough of him to lend Or give him
the money with which to make a cam
paign.
It's a sad state of affairs but one
which modern conditions has imposed
upon office seekers. Many of them
are honest and upright gentlemen
whose sole aim is to serve their coun-
try and at the same time crafty their
personal ambition The latter abounds
is the great majority of the cases,
however, and this is why so many big
men turn out to be such little ones
when put to the acid test of Iegisla-
tive and executive administration.
This senatorial race is one in which
money doesn't count. Personality
and ability figure largely in the re-
suit because none of the men who so
far have been mentioned are rich men
nor do their riches overbalance the
issue of patriotism, which has been
made the keynote of the opposition
to Senator Hardwick. It's a fight for
administration and for the principles
of loyalty and service. If we are will
ing to sacrifice these to political
friendship for Hardwick, we have sunk
to too low an estate to make us wor-
thy the name of true Georgians and
loyal Americans homasvilIe Times
