HARDWICK HITS
HOWELL RING
Opens Campaign In Wig
orous Speech At
Gainesville

CARTERSVILLE. Sept. "a
Thomas w. hardwick, in opening his
campaign with an address here yes
terday, roundly scored the Howell
Machine" dictators of policsNm in
Georgia up till now for may yeSNfs.
He said in part: -
"In the primary of September 8,
1920, according to the official re-
turns, l received 100000 votes, sub
stantially 5000 more than were re-
ceived by my nearest competitor, Mr..
Walker. | carried rs counties, more
than half of all the counties. in the
state, as against SO counties carried
by Mr.. Walker. received 100 county
unit votes, as against TIA county
unit votes for Mr.. Walker. In that
primary / came within four coun-
ty unit votes of nomination, accord
ing to the official returns.
81 firmly believe, and | earnestly
assert that | was fairly and justly
nominated in the primary of Sep
TENDER 9Th and that the Clark How
ell machine in Georgia, by both tech
aicalities and fraud, withheld the
nomination from me, and forced this
second primary on the people.
"In Decatur county, which has
four county unit votes, | sought and
offered to prove that forty-one lille
gal votes had been cast for Mr.. Walk
er, and that with these votes elm
mated the county really went for
me by plurality of twenty-seven
votes, instead of for Mr.. Walker by
the plurality of fourteen votes shown
by the returns. The Decatur County
Committee, by the close vote of sew
en- to six, refused to allow me to pre-
sent my proof and dismissed the pro-
ceedings on motion made by Mr..
Walkers attorney, that the papers
were not signed by me, and the pro-
ceeding was not brought in my name.
81 appealed the decision to the
subcommittee of the State Demo-
cratic committee on the following
day, and there urged that be allow
ed to go into the merits of the mat
ter, and be allowed to show that |
had, in fact, carried Decatur county,
by a plurality of the legal votes cast
therein. I requested to be allowed suf-
ficient time, from "a to 48 hours to
bring up the voters lists, the regis
tration lists, and the ballots from De-.
catur county, in order to prove that
! had carried that county and was
consequently entitled to the nomina-
ton in the first primary. / assured
the state committee that the issue
was seeking to raise was in no
sense technical, but went to the very
heart of the merits, that if | had IN
fact received plurality of the legal
votes in Decatur county, after the
illegal votes were thrown out, | was
entitled to the vote of tbsa county
and consequently to the ~ ZION !;
and that if, on the otE ar.
Walker had received Plurality of
the legal votes of the county | want
ed him to keep it.
''In the face of this appeal for
justice and fair play the sub-com-
mittee, led by such sterling Howell
strikers as H. H. Dean, Fermor Bar
rett. Hiram Gardner, and Herman
Miner. stubbornly refused to hear
and determine the issue on its merits
to give me any time Or any process
to get the necessary evidence brought
up from Decatur county, and dismiss
ed my appeal on the same technical
grounds that had been urged against

side occasionally becoming sore. My
physical condition was all run down
and my strength seemed gone. At times
the pain would become quite intense
each succeeding acute attack seeming
ly becoming more severe than the pre-
cctiing one. With the acute attack
came fever, nausea and often vomit-
ing. Physicians pronounced it chronic
appendicitis, ovary trouble. intestinal
trouble. etc, ana one insisted upon an
operation while others favored it. /
