Atlanta, July 27.-When Georgia's
voters select the states next governor
on September 8, they will first con-
slider ability to conduct the office and
to serve the state.
John Holders record in state serv-
Ice and in the judgment which others,
we'll qualified to Judge, have placed
upon 1T, leaves no doubt as to his ca
pability. What he has done for Geor-
gia, he has done well: others who
have noted it, have said so in no un.
certain terms. His wide knowledge
Of Georgia conditions and Georgias
needs, can be put to advantageous and
valuable use in the governors office.
Mr.. Holder has clearly stated that
he is not making this race on the de-
merits of his opponents, but upon his
own record Of service; and it is this
record we propose to put clearly be-
fore the people of Georgia.
