HARDMAN IN ATLANTA.
Atlanta, Ga., June 29.—Among the
many candidates who are circulating
around the capitol since the assem

candidate for governor, and none is
more welcome nor more at home. Dr.

The Mormans then asked how much
time they would be given, and the
spokesman told them long enough to
gia should have no trouble in mak
ing a choice between Slaton and
Felder.
In commenting upon Harper's edi
torial the Macon News says:
“Harper's Weekly, a great
tional magazine, noted for Its un
trammeled thought, has in this
week's issue a splendid endorsement
of Thomas S. Felder as a candidate
for the United States Senate from
Georgia.
“Harper's comment on the political
situation In this state is not alone
interesting, but exceedingly perti
nent. It accurately summarizes what
what logically appears to be the real
facts in the case. Harper's judg
ment of men and matters Is noted
for Its clarity and soundness, and Its
estimate of the men engaged in the
Georgia senatorial campaign reflects
those characteristics. Harper's also
discerns the fact that the race is be
tween Mr. Felder and Mr. Slaton.
"Money cannot buy a testimonial
like that from an influential and In
dependent magazine like Harper's
Weekly, and because its endorsement
of Mr. Felder is absolutely voluntary
aud unsolicited it comes with pecu
liar force.’’
The Macon News is evidently hard
up for campaign matters for ITS
candidate when it goes all the way
to New York City to get the opinion
of a millionaire publisher to predict
that Mr. Felder has a chance to win,
and that the race is between Slaton
and Felder. Now the truth of the
matter is the New York editor knows
about as much about the senatorial
listen to some Georgia publication
even though the Macon News says
that Harper’s Weekly cannot
bought, and intimates that smaller
Georgia publications might be pur
chased.
A 20,000 ORGANIZATION.
Mr. John Reese, one of the oldest
and best known newspaper corres
pondents in Atlanta, says:
"Some weeks ago announcement
was made of the organization of a
state-wide campaign committee for
John M. Slaton In his candidacy for
the United Statea Senate, unexplred
term.
"Alfred Newell was named head of
the committee, and Gus Morrow secre
tary. At the outset the statement was
made that plans had been perfected
to put 10,000 names of prominent
Georgians in every county of the Btate
on this campaign committee, making
a formidable working force to pro
mote Governor Slaton's interests.
"Now, it may be stated authorltn
lively that the committee has grown
to 20,000. These figures are subject
to verification in the campaign bead
quarters. They have been listed,
vised and put in shapo. Personal
ceptances and letters stand back of a
very large percentage-of these names.
The others authorize local county
leaders to put them down us Slaton

Trained For The Job
Efficiency! The twentieth century standard by
which the world measures those selected to do big
things.
The MAN himulf being satisfactory, the next
thought is of his training and ability.
Representing a great state like Georgia in the United
States Senate is a big thing—a full-grown man's job—
if it is attended to properly.
JOHN M. SLATON is a full-grown public man.
His ability has never been questioned.
Two decades of training in the service of YOU—the
people—comprises an apprenticeship which should
equip him for the office.
SLATON served eight years in the Legislature—in
the rank*.
SLATON was then twice chosen Speaker—unani
mously—and served four years more.
SLATON made a great Speaker—the best on record,
say those who kno.v—because he had trained for it
SLATON was then elected to the Senate, twice—and
was elected President twice—unanimously both times
—and he was a great President of the Senate—because
he had trained for the job.
SLATON was Acting Governor a short time. You
remember how well he filled the office, temporarily.
It was because he had been training for sixteen years.
SLATON was then elected Governor, practically
unanimously; not only because he was popular, but
because his trained fitness had been proven.
SLATON has carried out in full his legislate program
in a year. He succeeded because he knew the job. He
had trained for it seventeen years.
Farmers and doctors are not made in a day. Neither
are statesmen. They must learn. They must work up.
They must train.
SLATON has learned, he has worked up, he has
trained. Efficient public service supplanted ephemeral
bombast. Results have counted Knowledge of duty
well done has meant more to Slaton than public
applause.
YOU—the people—need a trained man for Senator.
We offer you the best trained up in Georgia—JOHN
M. SLATON.
Examine the records.

who is thoroughly identified with the
country banking situation. He did
not seek the nomination but it de
veloped because he led the fight for
country bank representation on th<
board.
Mclaane Tilton, of Pell City, Ala.
has made an attack on Malone which
has been deplored generally by the
Alabama banking Interests.
Tilton was a defeated candidate for
the place given Mr. Malone, whose
friends say that Tilton was disap
pointed at not getting the place.
Even the Florida banks have takei
up the cause of Mr. Malone and
charge in personal letters and cir
culars that Tiltqn was willing
sacrifice the Interests of the country
banks to satisfy personal animosity
toward the Dothan bunker. They
charge that at the Montgomery
meeting Mr. Tilton refused to take
any interest In the country hanks
unless the election should full
himself.
The selection of Mr. Malone has
met with favorable comment here
because he is believed to represent
more truly than any other eligible
man’ the banking progress of Ala*

lished with a controlling interest
more national banks than uny other
man In the United States. Among
them was the first national hunk
