PROBLEM ON.
NEW ARIZONA HIGHWAY

That good roads are asbenefit to
the community is shown by the adj
ded traffic that has come to Pres
cott since construction of the Hasa
yampa trail from Phoenix. But dis
advantages have appeared in the
shape of drivers who accept the
beautiful thoroughfare as speedway
over which the least possible time
may be made between the cities. As
is the case with the fine highway
hence to Ashfork, the very excellence
of the road is causing accidents, usu-
ally due to excessive speed. Many
of the offenders are tourists, unfa-

Holder Able and Constructive


A writer in the Sylvania Telephone
says:
"Last year when some leaders and
would-be leaders were agitating the
question of bonds, some of them with
the hope of making political place,
others no doubt hoping to get in on
the graft that could so easily be ac-
quired on a bond issue of the size
contemplated, never giving the tax
payers any consideration, nor caring
for the interest of the state only in
so far as it benefited them, how diff
ferent was the view Mr.. Holder took
of the situation, he did not consider
his own interest for an instant. He
released an article in the papers of
the state advocating pay as you go
plan, by which he has consistently
stood at all times. Mr.. Holder is by
far the ablest and most constructive
statesman in the race at this time.

ally acquainted with all the candi-
dates except DIR .Hardman and they
are all splendid gentlemen, but Mr..
Holder, 1 think, is better suited for
the office of governor Of the great
state of Georgia"
Fitzgerald leader enterprise and press., 1926-08-26

tours have to be made. 1t would be
folly to build permanent highways"
for detours, and detours are sure to
get bad after a few days of rain.
These bond folks fail to inform US
how new highways can be built with
out detours, unless old roads are
abandoned altogether, whether they
are built on the bond OF pay-as-you-
pave plan. The truth is that these
people are simply trying to find some
excuse for hitting Chairman John
Holder, of hte state highway depart
ment. He has thwarted their plans,
and so they want to beat him for gov
ernor. People don't like to have to
make detours, of course, but most
of them have sense enough to know
that they are unavoidable, and they
know, too, that because it is neces-
sarily makeshift road, detours cam
not stay in good shape after rain
bonds or no bonds.

WHAT GEORGIA PRESS
HAS TO SAY ABOUT THE
GUBERNATORIAL RACE
(The Triton Daily Gazette)

TIE calm silence and dignified re-
pose with which Candidate John
Holder has greeted the many charges
of his opponents and the supporters
of the opposition to the highway
chairman, has gotten on the nerves
, of the opposition. Mr.. Holder has
been called "thief, liar, bootlegger"
and numerous other uncomplimentary
names since the governorship race
was opened, but so far as we have
been able to observe, he has "paid
his critics no mind" and has gone
along calmly about the big double
task of running the highway depart
ment and running for governor.
MIR. Holder has quietly refused to
"talk back" at his critics, and having
called him most everything they could
think of without drawing fire." they
have about run out of something to
say and now are lambasting him be-
cause he won't answer their criti-
cisms. Here is one instance at least
in which Mr.. Holder is exhibiting bet
ter judgment than his critics. He
knows htat if he keeps calm and cool
his opponents will soon talk them
selves out; there is not much fun in
arguing with a man who does not
argue back at you. Chairman Hol-
der's critics are like many people we
have met. They talk without know
ing what they are saying; make
charges without proof to substantiate
them, and say things they don't mean
in the hope that they will get up an
argument and "get their names in
the paper" %
The outstanding feature of, the
gubernatorial campaign has been the
silence of Mr.. Holder. While his op-
ponents are running about over
Georgia kicking up dust, he is pro-
ceeding with the business of the i'm
portant department of which he is the
head and letting his opponents and
their supporters "talk their heads
off" We don't recall ever having
met candidate who seemed as little
concerned over the outcome of
campaign as Mr.. Holder appears to be
about the present race for the gov
ernorship. It looks as though he is
riding into the governors mansion on
wave of silence-vote getting 81
lence.

.ARDMAN STANDS FOR THE ELIMINATION
OF MACHINE RULE AND The SUBSTITU-
TION OF BUSINESS EFFICIENCY

Georgia today is on the
threshold of great prosperity.
The state needs at its helm al
man of vision, one who can
plan, greater things for the tu-
ture; an executive of ability
that will give to this state a
business administration. DR..
L. G. Hardman, candidate for
governor, has. these qualifica-
tons. He is a man who has at
tanned success in life as a.
physician, orchardist, banker,
manufacturer and farmer.
DR.. Hardman has for years
been a close student of the
needs and possibilities OF
Georgia. He was one of the
first to advocate a system OF
good roads, and while a MEM
Der of the legislature introduc-
ed the first bill to organize a
state highway department. He
realizes the Importance of
good roads, but believes they
should be constructed under
methods that will eliminate
waste.
DR.. Hardman is a banker
and pledges to the people
his sincere support of such
changes in the state banking
laws as may be necessary to
protect both stockholders and
depositors.

and as such realizes the neceS-
sity of safeguarding the health
and lives of present and future

Should Refuse Demand of Enemies
(From the Crawfordville Advocate
Democrat)
Some of John Holders enemies
want him to resign as chairman OIL
the state highway board now that ne
is a. candidate for governor. We
doubt the wisdom Of acceding to
these demands. Mr.. Holder is famll-
lar with all the plans of the depart
ment, he knows exactly what can be
done in the way of highway building
this year and to put new man In his
place at this time would not be for
the best interests of the state. Be-
sides, it is certain that the man Sc
lected for the job would be Holders
political enemy, and doubtless would
wreck the plans of the department in
an effort to defeat Holder for gov
ernor. AS we see it, Holder should
remain right where he is. If elected
governor he syill have practically a
year to devot v the highway board
vet before being inaugurated, and his
services on the board will be worth
many times that of new man. In
addition, if he should be elected and
remains head of the highway depart
ment until his Inauguration, he can
name chairman who will carry out
his plans and one who will work in
harmony with him. The best inter-
ests of the state demand that Holder
stay Eight where he is for the present,
and we believe that he will do it.

Holder Visits Monroe
(From the Walton Tribune)

Hon. John N. Holder, of Jackson
county, candidate for governor of
Georgia, will be visitor to Monroe
next Monday, the Tribune is in
formed.
Mr.. Holder is one of Georgia's best
known men and has long been promi-
nent in the states affairs. AS speak
er of the house of representatives he
distinguished himself as a man of
ability and resourcefulness; as the
editor of the Jackson Herald he and
his brilliant wife have long held that
newspaper in the front rank of Geor-
gia weely journalism; as education
and highway commissioner he has
been intimately associated with many
of the states most forward move
ments, and his many friends here will
be pleased to welcome him to the
county next Monday.

"A W.lkover for Holder"

(From the Carroll County Times)
After an absence of month from
the state we return to find that a
prediction made by the Times some
weeks ago, namely, that Holder would
have a walkover race for governor,
seems even more imminent now than
when first made by US.
Nor does this condition indicate
foro ne instant that the people are
not in favor of good roads, nor that
they are unwilling to pay for their
construction.
1t does indicate, however, that
they are opposed to creating big
bonded debt when they can accom-
plish the same results on cash basis
by uisng proper economy and busi-
ness methods.

knowledge of the problems of
the farmer, and will be found
working earnestly for the
things that will make Georgia
the great agricultural state
that it should be.
DR.. Hardman has for many
years been committed to an
improved school system and
as governor will leave nothing
undone to insure the education
of every Georgia boy and girl.
DR.. Hardman is construc-
tive and progressive. His cleo
ton will create new conf
dence in Georgia as a state
that chooses as its chief exec
utive a business man who will
administer the business of the
state as efficiently as he has
administered his own.

for you. Fhmsy indeed is this, the
only thing so far sprung on Jeffer-
sons worthy candidate.
The Oglethorpe Echo says: "John
Holder continues to set pretty in the
straight road to the executive chair.
He is making votes by paying no at
tention to the onslaughts of his op-
ponents with baseless charges. The
people are wise to the fact that they
are made solely for campaign pur-
poses" Ye "Uncle Johns" still hunt
