v. Viewing the Approach of a New Day for North Carolina These Thoughtful Men Declare Their Opinion in no Uncertain Terms Hon. Q- A. Holderness. Hon. George A. Holderness, of Tar boro, broad-visioned' citizens, widely known as a raiser of livestock, large farmer and Chairman of the Appro priations Committee of the State Sen ate, says: "Advertent to the claims of the other candidates for Governor and after deliberate consideration, I am FIRMLY CONVINCED THAT HON. O. MAX GARDNER WILL GIVE NORTH CAROLINA BETTER SERV ICE AS GOVERNOR THAN ANY OTHER CANDIDATE and therefore I am supporting Gardner for Governor. Gardner's record command's my confi dence and that of any other man. He combines the rare qualities of a scientific .ind practical farmer, sound business judgment and seasoned leg islative experience. I am convinced that if North Carolina voters desire a Governor — Who is a progressive farmer — Who i 3 a successful business man— Who is courageous— Who has broad vision— Who has initiative — Who will serve all the people— then Vote for Gardner for Governor!" Hon. J. Sneed Adams. Mr. J. Sneed Adams, prominent at torney of Asheville, a member of the law firm of Merrimon, Adams and Johnston and one of the most popu lar leaders in Western Carolina says: "I feel that the future demands more action, and less talk. Gardner HAS A HABIT OF DOING THINGS and letting others do the talking, and his past record 1 insures independent and fearless action, free from the di rection of any man or class of men taken for the benefit of the state as a whole, and not for any particular section." Mr. A. M. McWhirter. Mr. Ambrose M. McWhirter, a man •f high character, who is a weaver and a loom fixer, employed by the Ella Manufacturing Company, of Shelby, and one of the most promi nent textile workers in Cleveland •ounty, writing of O. Max Gardner, says: "If there is an industrial laborer in Cleveland county, who is a Demo crat and is not for Mr. Gardner, I have never heard of him. We ali know Mr. Gardner and he knows us. We all trust Mr. Gardner and believe In him. He is a FAIR AND SQUARE MAN and we who know him would trust his judgment te the limit on any question between right and ■wrong. He has helped personally more tenants and poor men to buy homes than any man in the county. I know that a large number of the eotton mill hands of this county, and of Cliffside and Henrietta in Ruther ford county, always go to Mr. Gard ner when in trouble or in need of ad rioe. I can safely say that practically all of the cotton mill workers in this section are going to vote for him and work for him for Governor. He be lieves in and practices the Golden Rule." Hon James A. Gray. Hon. James A. Gray, of Winston- Salem, successful man of affairs, Chairman ef the Finance Committee ef the Senate, former president North Carolina State Bankers Association, says: "Having been intimately associated with Hon. O. Max Gardner and hav ing had every occasion to observe his masterful ability and leadership, to gether with his high ideals of rifctn hood, I am a loyal supporter of Gard ner for Governor. His WIDE TRAIN ING AND EXPERIENCE have been such that I consider him QUALIFIED for the position of Governor AS NO OTHER CANDIDATE IS. Gardner is a CLEAR THINKE. and his insight into public affairs and public needs is such that he is able to Interpret the spirit of the people of the State in a much more sympathetic and direct way than any other man aspiring for the office." • Max Gardner stands for the ideals and Principles of Democracy. Vote foi Gardner for Governor O. MAX GARDNER For Governor "Equipped for the Office." O. Max Gardner O. Max Gardner is tne son of the late Dr. O. P. Gardner and Margaret Young Gardner, both of whom born in Rutherford County. Beginning life without means and after the death of his parents in boyhood, O. Max Gardner, son of Dr. O. P. Gard ner, a Captain in the Confederate Army and a member of the State Legislature of 1859, went at the busi ness of making himself flit for a life of service under severe handicaps. First on a farm, working at th'e la bor of farm life of those days, young Gardner learned the lesson of indus try. Too young to be accepted in the army when the Spanish-American war came, Max Gardner volunteered as a mule driver and drove a six-mule team throughout that war. Back in Shelby at the conclusion of the war, young Gardner found work in a livery stable at $4 the week, saved $95 and entered the North Carolina A. & M. College. He graduated with honor in three years, was elected as a teacher in the institution and studied law. Later he graduated from the State University. To earn the money to get his edu cation. Max Gardner worked in a cot ton mill during the summer and knows well the life and labor of the man at the mill as well as on the farm. Thrifty and with keen judg ment Max Gardner placed every dol lar he could save, from the very be ginning of his career into farm land and gave personal supervision to the cultivation, following the methods studied at the A. & M. and has be come one of the most successful farm ers of Cleveland County. He married Miss Fay Lamar Webb, daughter of Judge James L. Webb, and with their three children, Mr. and Mrs. Gardner live in Shelby. Business men found early that Max Gardner was a success and he has be come identified with a number of business enterprises of Cleveland and the surrounding counties- By instinct, training, and inheri tance, the welfare and success of the Democatic party has been something akin to a passion with Max Gardner. Scarcely had he emerged from col lege when the Cleveland County Dem ocrats made him county chairman and later promoted him to membership on the State Committee. In 1908 Max Gardner was given charge of the or ganization in the State of the Young Men's Democratic Clubs and here he made a marked success. Twice was Max Gardner elected to the State Senate from the 33rd. district and then unanimously nominated as Lieu tenant Governor and elected In 1916. He was president protempore of the Senate prior to his election as Lieu tenant Governor and has made ft marked success as a presiding officer. He is making this race for the nomination of Governor on the ground of fitness, not aligned with any faction or r que, but appeals to the virile manhood of North Caro lina whose hope is the successful Jie velopment of No'th Carolina in this new day of opportunity.

"With no reflection on the other candidates, I believe that because of GARDNERS PAST EXPERIENCE AS FARMER, LABORER, LAWYER, BUSINESS MAN, LEGISLATOR, there is NO CANDIDATE now before the people WHO WOULD MAKE ▲ TRUER, STRONGER, MORE FAITH FUL OR BETTER GOVERNOR THAN my friend, MAX GARDNER. He has made good in every work he has ever undertaken. If Gardner is nominated and elected, I will vouch for him. A splendid speaker, a dili gent student, a leader of experience, a strong, patriotic citizen, an able lawyer, a successful business man and above all, an humble, consecrated Christian, Gardner ought to win and for these reasons and many others, I WILL VOTE FOR GARDNER, WORK FOR GARDNER and do all I can iri an honorable way, to help make Max Gardner THE NEXT GOVERNOR OF NORTH CAROLINA."
