And there's this case! But did ex-
Senator Hardwick act as this honest
LAWYER? He says Martens told nm
he was not guilty; that he wasea Rus
sian ambassador. But when his asso-
GATES in the senate found him guilty,
when on the evidence they declared
that instead of being an ambassador
he was here for no other purpose than
to prepare to burn your barn--to
stav here to pr pare for instruction
nv continuing to commit the CRIME
of spreading revolutionary propagan-
da did he drop the case? Like the
honest LAWYER, did he kick the trea-
sonable scoundrel out of his office!
No! The thirty thousand pieces OF
silver got in its nefarlous work Just
as thirty pieces of silver did IN the
Saviour's day. He continues to coun-
sci and advise these foreigners how
thew can stay here. and | say that
either as lawyer or as ex-senator.
he violates every sentiment OF proprl-
ETY. when he does so.
Cannot Answer This
| cannot conceive of any thinking
man disagreeing with this position.
If there be a single man here who
does then come to you with my last
nronosition which ex-senator Hard
wick has not answered, because he
cannot answer. | know that every one
of YOU will agree with me. Our people
are unit against this low type of
revolutionary socialistic foreigners.
They are a unit that not another one
of them should be admitted into our
country in the future. They are unit
that Martens and every one of his
crew and class should be shipped out
of our land Ten of them are being
tried today in Chicago. You are being
taxed hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars a year to employ lawyers and
detectives and court officials to hunt
them out. try and deport them. Every
thinking man knows they should new
err have been admitted to this country
at alb. Yet in the face of this fact
ex-senator Hardwick for personal
gain continues to assist them to stay
here, and now has the gall to come
to the people whose interests he be-
trays and whose will he defies and
asks them to help him in his perfidous
work by adding to his influence the
governorhsip of our state so that he
can win his case and keep these for
eigners over here. 1t is more than
enough when he asks US to get down
on our knees and anologize to him
for regulating his war record two
years ago although he brags that he
has not changed his war views one
iota. 1t is unthinkable that with this
record now before us a single red
blooded American could think of vot-
ing for him for governor of the SOW
ereign people of Georgia, to win his
case to keep those foreigners here,
to continue to. spread this foreign
propaganda, and overthrow or gov
eminent, destroy our homes defile
our women and abolish the religion
of our mothers.
This miserable record sounds as a
clarion cali to service. to patriotic
work from this good hour till 6
o'clock on election day. The repudi
alton of this despicable record sug-
gests a roll of honor and in the name
of the fair escutcheon of Georgia, in
the name of our noble women, in the
name of the American Legion-the |
luster of whose living it dims and
the memory of whose dead it de- J
flames; in the name of the party Of
our fathers. which. in the dark days
of reconstruction, saved the sacred |
sentiments and traditions of the south |
from the carpetbagger and the seal
awag; in the name of decencv, I call |
on everv patriotic Georgian every
loyal Democrat to inscribe his nam
upon it
