WALKER RAPIDLY
COVERING STATE
AZ SO. Georgia Counties
Visited Already, He
Says Here

Attorney General Clifford Walker,
who had been visiting his sister, Mrs.
Frank Harold, since last Saturday
night, left last evening by automo-
bile for Montezuma, intending to
spend day or two in Macon county
interviewing the voters while on his
way back to Atlanta.
While here Mr.. Walker visited sew
eral sections of Sumter county, at
tempting to cover as much of it as
possible in a short time and see as
many voters personally as possible,
letting them know that he was in the
race for governor of Georgia and as
suring them that he was obsessed on
ly with the perfect human ambition
of stepping up bit higher in life
than the place he now occupies.
Mr.. Walker is not talking cam
paign issues. at is TOO early" he
said. Just now I am making a pre-
liminary canvass of the state Thus
far | have been in 40 counties south
of Macon, and by March / l expect
to have visited every county in Geor-
gia. After that the real campaign
will be open. l expect to return to
Sumter later for a campaign speech
in which l will outline my platform
and tell the people the reasons l am
running for governor and what hope
to accomplish if elected to Office. l
do not expect to run on an "anti"
platform-that is, opposing this or
that, or the other thing-but on con-
structive platform, standing FOR de-
finite things. But this will come out
later"
