YOU'RE Affair.""
EX-SOLDIER YELLS
AT T. E. WATSON

FORT VALLEY, Ga, August A.
porters for a big open air meeting
here Tuesday were thwarted by a
downpour of rain, and the meeting
had to be held the school audi
torium. The audience was esti-
mated at 1000, the majority of whom
were from out of town.
Mr.. Hardwick, who spoke first, be-
gan bv quoting the scripture, "Lo,
the night hath ended and the morn
ing comes" and he said one-man
power has ended He attacked the
Wilson administration, said four men
around council table would change
have to, study, geography again, ac-
cuslng them of processing to accom-
plish what Christianity had failed
to do in two thousand years. He
dwelt mostly on national affairs.
He said there were bosses in Geor-
gia whom, when he became governor,
he would GUST. He claimed twice
to have run steamroller over the
Clark Howell bunch and said he
would give them hell in Septem-
ber
Several ladies in the assembly
heard him say he told the San Fran
cisco folk to do as they d please
and go to hell.
He asked support not as a favor,
but for the sake OF civil justice. He
spoke OF Wilson supporters as new
tangled Democrats and Wilson wor-
shippers. Said the people needed less
law, more liberty.
He declared the legislature has
got Georgia in devil of mess,
robb1ng Peter to pay Paul and bor-
He made fun of Walkers Red.
White and Blue speech" and said he
couldn't be rubber stamp SENATOR"
neither would he be a rubber stamp
governor"
Frequent applause accompanied the
speech.
Following Mr.. Hardwick, Mr.. Wat
son spoke. He said many went to
the springs of daily journalism for
refreshment. He told of the fire
chunk kept burning by the Indians
and lfkened it to the fire of liberty for
which he has worked and sacrificed
to keep burning for five years. He
denied anyone to find one word of
his, written Or spoken, which was
against liberty.
He dwelt upon the right of free
speech and followed this by con-
demning the treatment of soldiers in
Georgia GTg camps speaking of Camp
ing your sons to suffer and die"
An ex-soldier in the back of the
auditorium said: you're a liar"
and it looked as if riot would fol-
low.
Watson made fun of the words sof
Pershing at Lafayette's tomb, say
ing he didn't say them in the first
place.
He spoke of Hardwick as the next
governor.
In defense of his war record, he
said he spent $4,000 to give you the
chance to vote" He said he had ST.
600 worth of Liberty Bonds and had
lost $500 on them.
