vote on the constitutional amend
ments.
“Under the Georgia law, the
names of neither candidate for
president nor vice president will
appear on the ballot, so in voting
your choice for these candidates
you will vote for either the Dem
ocratic Electors or the Republi
can Electors.
“If a person does not wish to
vote for either the Steavenson or
Eisenhower ticket, but does want
to vote for or against the pro
posed constitutional amendments,
such a person’s vote will be
counted.
“A person can vote for the
Republican electors who are list
ed on the official ballot, and can
vote for the Democratic nomi
nees for State offices and can
vote any way he may choose on
any of the 40 constitutional
amendments. You vote one
amendment at a time.”
The following telegram has
been received from Bernard Kat-

Statement by Rabbi Elizer
Silver of Cincinnati, president,

United States and Canada Re
leased today from Eisenhower
train: “My experience with the
Republicans has been such as to
indicate that they were great
friends of the Jewish people.
When I first came to this coun

I remember when I visited the
Republican President William
Howard Taft. I shall never for

us. I believe he was the only
president who ever broke a trea

they refused to let United States
citizens of Jewish faith travel in
Russia.
“In recent years, we have

ment of President Truman, our
sages have warned us that men
of prominence should be very
careful with their utterances.
Therefore il am amazed that Pre
sident Truman would refer to
General Eisenhower in this mat

our Allied Armies to victory
against the Nazi hordes and
drove Hitler to suicide and was
the first to help liberate the per

from the concentration camps in
Germany.
“I have the greatest confidence
in General Eisenhower’s toler

Georgians Can
Pass Over Vote
for President
Judge Eugene Gunby of the
Fulton County Court of Ordi
nary, has asked The Southern Is
raelite to inform its Georgia
readers:
“It is not necessary to vote for
the presidential electors in order
to have your-vote counted for
Democratic nominees for the
State offices or on the important
constitutional amendments being
submitted.
“The General Election ballot is
arranged in three separate col
umns so that the Georgia voter
may vote either for the Democra
tic or Republican presidential
electors. He may then move over
into another bracket and vote for
the Democratic Party of Geor
gia’s nominee for State Offices.
He may then move down to an
other section of the ballot and
