Holders Public Life.
Many other equally strong indofse-
ments might be quoted, but just how
we desire to say a word about Mr..
Holders life and public record.
John Holder is, primarily, farmer.
He is q successful farmer. His farm
is conducted on business principles.
1t is a well-kept, prosperous farm. He
is also a successful newspaper man.
He has been one of the proprietors
and the editor Of the Jackson Herald
since 1891.
Born and reared on farm in Jack
son county, working on the farm while
he went to school, he may literally be
said to have mada his way in life
wholly through his own effort. He
is a first honor graduate Of the state
university at Athens.
Honored By Home Folks.
There is no higher tribute that can
be paid a man than the repeated in
dorsement of his home people. For
eighteen years now, term after term,
they have elected him to the legis'
lsture, both house and senate.
Holding equally high opinion OF his
ability, his integrity, his fairness and
other executive as we'll as personal
qualities. his colleagues have elected
him four times speaker OF the house
of representatives. His service OF
eight years as speaker Of the house
is a distinction which has been enjoy
ed by no other Georgian except Senator
A. o. Bacon.
And. although he is not lawyer
and never undertook legal study in
his life, he has presided with a skill,
a tact, dignity and an ability that
have won him the praise and commen'
dation of every one who has come into
contact with him.
Legislative Career.
John Holders legislative career
has been marked, as Editor Nevin says,
by a connection with much OF the
most wholesome legislation on the stat
ute books today" He began his leg
islative career by entering actively the
fight for increased appropriations for
the common schools. He is standing
equally steadfast for them today, as
well as for longer terms and better
and more prompt pay for teachers
His favorable attitude always to Seor
gta's Confederate veterans and wild
ows is well known.
Holders name appears as the sole
author Of the law which ended the Cd
noxious convict lease system, and put
the convicts to building good roads In
all the counties Of Georgia. HIS
name is connected with the measure
providing for uniform and cheaper
school text books; with one OF the
best health laws ever enacted by any
state: with the state highway com
mission act; with the establishment
of the state market bureau; with the
enactment of better banking laws foi
Georgia, and with many others, more
recently among them the effort 6
prevent any increased taxation and to
bring about greater economy in state
expenditure.
These are only few OF the good
things John Holder has done and help
ed to do for Georgia. His wide ex
perience and knowledge in the serv
ice of the state, eminenty fit and
qualify him to be governor of Georgia
