HARDW|Ck CROWS
STRONGER STEADILY,
MANAGER ASSERTS

The following statement concern
ing the progress of Governor Thorn
as w Hardwick's campaign for the
United States senate was given out
from his headquarters Saturday aft
ernoon.
Letters from all over the state
continue to show growing strength
for Governor Hardwick's campaign
for the United States senate against
Mr.. Harris.
Governor Hardwick's mail is
verv heavy, and the activity OF his
friends is very pronounced. In many
sections of the state this condition
exists to such an extent that an at
mosphere of confidence and enthu
siasm is to be observed.
AT the outset of the campaign
Governor Hardwick believed that
the strength claimed by Mr.. Harris
was largely superficial, and more or
less newspaper-made. BY this is
meant that Mr.. Harris has for some
time used the press for advertising
work, the accomplishment of which
he had never performed, and in that
way had gained for his campaign
a strength that he did not merit.
People Responding
wherever we have been able to
get Governor Hardwicll's platform
dealing with the fundamentals of old
time Democracy before the people,
they have responded with a popular
approval that is reassuring to his
prospects.
while it is little early to esti-
hn CT of IF
Spouse, it is quite evident that the
tide is growing in Governor Hard
wick's favor, and if his friends con-
tinue the working interest that they
have displayed up to this stage Of
the fight, there is every indication
that Governor Flardwick's campaign
is going to have successful ending,
and, in way that will surprise the
politicians Of the state.
Governor Hardwiclz has just
closed a week of successful cam
paigning that is destined to be re-
membered as one of the greatest
politic | campaigns ever Waged in
Georgia.
''He spoke in HARRISON county, at
Buchanan, on last Tuesday, to
very large and enthusiastic audience,
and his friends in that county pre-
dict that he will carry it by a de-
cided majority.
Thursday morning, July 81, he
spoke at Hahira to splendid au-
dience, conservatively estimated at
between four and five thousand.
Thursday afternoon he addressed
an audience of four or five thousand
at Valdosta, where he was met by
large committee of representative
citizens. His friends in Lowndes
county say that there will be no
doubt of his carrying that county.
Big Rally at Sparta
"On Friday he addressed the larg-
est political gathering at Sparta that
has ever been assembled in Hancock
county. and his friends there are
looking forward to a splendid victory
in the primary.
He addressed a wonderful gath.
ering at Carrollton on Saturday, and
the best political judges of Carroll
county stated, after the speaking,
that he had made a great impression
upon the people, and that they felt
quite sure that he would carry Car
roll county.
This closes the second week of
continuous, vigorous and aggressive
campaigning that has been entered
upon by Governor Hardwick, who
is highly gratified at the receptions
accorded him in all the counties ad-
dressed by him.
Governor Hardwick will speak at
the following places during the next
