He referred to the deflation and
contraction conditions which strong
ly existed in Georgia when he took
the oath of office year ago. ne

and contraction there was the boil
weevil. He inherited, he said, from
the Dorsey administration an indebt-
edness Of $3,000,000, and it was
mighty hard struggle to keep noses
above water and 10 make buckle and
tongue meet The governor stated
that the deflation. and contraction
conditions, together with the states
Indebtedness, could not be laid at
his door and they probably would
not have occurred had the people fol-
lowed his policy laid down in Wash
ington.
"They left me with a $3,000,o0
bag to hold" shouted the governor.
A man in the audience jumped to
his feet and shouted: And both ends
of the bag opened too"
Must Pull the "Ox" Out.
There was loud laughter and when
the governor proceeded he said that
the COX was in the ditch and that
it was a Georgia OK and a Georgia
ditch and it was up to me without
squabbling or wrangling to pull It
out"
81 did not put him in the ditch, but
it was my business to pull him out
despite some legislators effort to
push him back" declared the gov
ernor.
The crowd laughed and many turn
ed around to where Senator O. A.
Nix, one of the members of the
"disgruntled" senatorial group who
attempted to entertain 420 Atlanta
citizens at a Walker rally held in the
Capitol fity Saturday might, mas
standing. They gave the senator
laugh.
The governor brought round OF
applause when in outlining the tax
alton issue he stated that taxes are
not popular and the only popular tax
in the land is the one the other fell
low has to pay.

ON
LAST LAP OF
PRIMARY RACE
Pays Particular Attention To Ex-
position OF Veto Of Pension
Bill

LAWRENCEVlLLE, Sept g.
Gov. Thomas w. Hardw,ck, refreshed
from an over-Sunday rest entered
upon the last lap Of his statewide
campaign for reelection here yester-
day when he addressed more than 500
citizens of Gwinnett county on the
principal Issues involved III the CUB
ernatorial race.
The governor dwelled at length
on the pension veto bill issue and
drove hard into his hearers ears thae
before the State of Georgia can pro-
vide for or pay any additional large
appropriations, such as those contents
plated in the new classes of pension
ers, and for free school text books,
the people of Georgia must by THEN
vote authorize either an increase in
the present advalorem tax rate, or au-
thorize the levy of am income or
some other kind of tax.
Speaks From Auto Truck
The governor addressed his hearers
from an automobile truck on the lawn
Of the Gwinnett county court housn.
He was introduced by Fred Kelley,
former representative in the state
legislature, who contended that Clif-
ford Walker was attempting to gain
office on the alleged demerits of his
opponent, Governor Hardwick, and
that the Walker faction being unable
ito secure Senator Thomas E. Watson's
support, were attempting to criticize
the split between the two Toms.
Mr.. Kelley went into detail and
assaiied the lomon-Hollomon-Hub
Dean ring, which he claimed was in
political conspiracy to beat Gov
ernor Hardwick at this election and
Senator Watson four years from now.
Sitting directly behind Mr.. Kelley
on the improvised platform was John
Kelley, his brother, and until few
days ago Senator Thomas E. Watson's
private secretary. Among the
others who greeted the governor on
his arrival here were: Col. A. G.
Lyles, of Buford, who introduced Ma
jor G. E. MeGregof, Walker supper
ter, last week; B. L. Patterson, Wal
ter Sims, of Buford.. B. M. Peoples,
Henry Mitchell, C. R. Ware, G. r.
Thompson, James Craig, j. A. Smith,
Josenh Stanford, DR.. G.. S. Kelley,
John Guthrie, of Lawrenceville;
Representative J. S. Shuttlesworth, of
Lilburn; B. M. Beard, D. A. Werner,
of Buford, and Heck McGee, of Bu-
ford.
Governor Hardwick in the pre-
amble of his speech contended that he
had neither sores nory scabs against
those who differed with his opinion
during or after war times5 and he
stated that he had been given the
highest honor the people of Georgia
could bestow on one mantle Unit
ed States Senate--hecause he refused
to change his opinion on various is
sues which were then involving the
world.
Why He Lined With Watson.
He outlined what caused the two
Toms to join hands two years ago,
stating that he had been requested

his entrance he knew nothing of
Senator Watson's intention of en-
tering the race for the senate.
The speaker stated that there was
nothing personal involved in the
break between him and Senator Wat
son, but that it was brought about
merely because each differed on a
substitution for the present tax sys-
tenn. The junior senator, said Gov
ernor Hardwick, favored mortgage
tax while he favored the income tax
system.
The governor reminded his audi
ence that the same tax system Sen
ator Watson is in favor of today, was
