There should be sandwiched in here, before a round to round report of the battle, a few sentences from the campaign speeches: Watson Against l.eglon. "I ai.i going lo light them (tht American legion) tiom hell to break last." Thomas K. Watsoa. "The kingship of Clark Howell in Georgia, is coming to an end. riovwil is the tail, not the head of the Ieinocratic party in Georgia." Thomas W. Hat d wick, senator. "The Atlanta foiisitution hasn't told the truth about me since 1 de feated its editor fur governor in JSiui. Some folks have sugg.-sled the hies of that newspaper, containing; the poisonous lies on n.c, onglit to be ground up and used to destroy the boll weevil on our cotton." Senator Hoke Smith. "The American legion !k an or lai iii'.'.ion of officers formed to dom inate politics and their actions prove It. Siocklitidge talks about how he was 'gassed.' He was not gassed. The wind simply blew his own breath In hs face.' Tom Wat son in a chanit'teiislie speech. "1 v,;.f the lirst tandldute to de fend u against the attack of Mr. H.ndwi k, and I exuected iiothins less t!:;ni fair treatment at your hiuaK ; tit Instead y on hrve given tne a 1',: iii us stall In an effort to ac complish my political assahsination and lo elect your candidate," John Ilolii- r. in the same letter to Clark H.well. "Howell's plain theft of Ihe Job f;f national committeeman from Georg'a." Thomas W. Hardwirk. "Hardwiek violated his oath as senator. Tie n later he tuvaine Ihe paid ai'i.noy of the bolshevik! pro pagandist, Ltidwis Martens, who w,.s spreading; dangerous docilities foe tin overthrow of our govern ment. a ihe senate he was an obstructionist ;.nd d.shnnl." - Clif fotd Walker, candidate for Governor auaiiisl Ha dwiik a:id Holder. "Any man in the American b gion or out of it who sas 1 am a 'red' or disloyal is an inlaiiio.is liar." Tom Hardwiek. "Hoke Smith is getting' lonesome. He doesn't know it but he Is a back number, H ' talks two hours about himself In his speeches and would talk two hours mure if I hey would listen. Hoke has twenty-seven planks in his platform. Seventeen are about cotton and the rest about Hoke." Tom Watson. "I ceiuld have been In the United States senate to-day If I had been a rubber-stamp senator for the' admin istration. If you want a rubber stamp governor, don't ebnt me." HhiiIwI k. These are but a few extracts from the speeches they are delivering daily In Guiisia. No other constituency can understand the Intensily of Georgia campaigns. Hecklers are in almost every audience, particularly those addressed by Tom Watson and Hardwiek, and nnw nn.l then a heck ler is ejf.ted from the hall, or run off the icsetvuCon If it's nn outdoor rpiech. Recently Hardwiek called one a "liar" to h!s face and fo'ks expected a fight, hut the crowd was so strongly pro-llardwlck the fellow ( r.Fainst any soil of a league. iiior Smith who voted for the I.o.lgp le serxaiio.-is l:i the lenate, stands on h's re or I.

The other candidate, for governor having never been In public life n a national sense, are talking mainlv about local Issue's, and "bawling out" Hardwiek just stood In the aisle and took it. Hot Factional Hgbt. The factional Georgia fight, re volving; principally around Senator Hoke Smith. Clark and "Brother Al bert" Howell, former Senator Hard wiek and Tom Watson, is not con fined to the stump. Almost every newspaper In Georgia has taken sides and columns are filled with the hot test sort of political charges, claims and denials. It's a poor clay when some newspaper storv isn't denounced an a I tr. and Tom Watson especially goes up nnd down the state inveieh iug against the American kgion, Ihe "political bosses" and the 'Voriuptrd pre's." Art! wtat of the slitiatior. lit r h ios. a Je bti Holder says, hi'l what ever fe.ike may think about Georgia ts nn administration slato truthful peilii i Ue-tViu f.iy that bjth Wo' son unj Hardwiek are uiighty near for accepting a fee from Liidwie Martens, self-styled soviet ambassa dor, who was Investigated by a senate committee. Hardwiek retorts that even a mur derer Is entitled to counsel and he represented Martens in a legal cap acity, without believing In his doc trines. Hardwiek brings cheers tn saying that if Cliff Walker, one oi his opponent, was being tried ror Idiocy he would defend Walker if engaged as counsel, although h" might believe he was "'Hits." Ft'i thermore. Hardwirk bilinglv savr- former Clitr walker will never be offered a thirty thousand dollar fee by any body, because "Cliff hasn't got sense enough to earn that big n fee." Mr. Holder's lambasting of editor Clark Howell followed Howell's ef forts to get Holder to withdraw from the gubernatorial race so that the opposition to Hardwiek would be ce n. tered on Walker. With three men in the race. Howell argued, the "dis loyal Hardwiek" is certain to be elected. Holder retorted by saying he was In the race first and had ex pected Howell's support. He aide' that he wouldn't withdraw unless Clark Howell pulled down his hnt.d pleked cardldate for the senate. Gov ernor Iiorsey. The situation In the senatorial field. Holder said, was Just as had as that In the guberna torial, and Watson was about to be elected to the senate. With pnrsey eliminated, Mr. Holder thought Senator Hoke Smith could bent Walsnn. Clatk Howell hasn't yet met the Holder protirs1-1 tinn, nor Is he likely to. In fact,: Governor porsey savs he's In the race to stay nm! experts to win. ;oinyl.i Xever So Ileset. Altogether it's a terrible muss, Georgia Is at white heat, with nearly everybody calling somebody else names. One of the country papers observes that In all her history of political turmoil the state has never been so beset. IC added that there are mere lies, half - truths, garbled quotations, silly charges and dema gogic ran: in?s being used In this cam paign than ever before. Perhaps the most remarkable fea ture of ll.e whole business Is the come-back of Tom Watson, onetime populist Idol; a state, if not national, celebrity; caustic critic of almost everything connected with the Wilson administration; a master In satire and vituperation and the most feared man in Georgia politics. It is prac tically certain Watson's strength is; so great there must be a run-off pri-j tnary if he is to be defeated. He car ritd the stale In the presidential preference primaries last April and since then has been "feeling his oats" I again. j With Hardwirk mid Watson spei.k-i ing from the same platform and drawing tremendous crowds greater perhaps than all other candidate; combined the so-called ftdmlnietra ticn. Demo. rats In Georgia ar gen uinely alat nied. ! Other states may think they dis play heated politics and bitter politi cal fueds. Folks down here who are, accustomed to the methods and voca-: bularies of Georgia political cam paigns wouldn't even walk across the; street to see the dull way they play i the game elsewhere. : The full census f fist fights, cracked heads, dangling political scalps and cuss words will be furn ished September 8th.
