UST SUMP CALL
GIN IN STATE
Mr*. Warren Urges All Demo
crats to Give Today and
iM Vote Tuesday.
(By Mrs. L. C. WARREN)
There was a sharp cry for help.
“There comes another wail from
Tthat child,” thought the interrupt
<ed parent over an unfinished task,
"I’ve got something else to* do be
sides run to every call of that
youngster,” and quietly the task
was resumed.
After some time, the task was
finished and then the child was
sought
Then the crazed parent found
him strangled with a plaything of
his own making.
Today that parent paces a mad
r man’s cell listening, always lis
f tening, for that call which will
never be heard again.
Democracy Calls.
Today democracy gives one last
Warp call every Georgia from
whom it has a right to expect
loyalty and support.
Do you turn with impatience
to some selfish task and say, “Let
some one else answer the caU, for
I am busy? >*
Silence and negative goodness in
our national leader will get us
nowhere.
Powerful Personality.
Davis is a man of powerful
personality, the loftiest ideals, ca
pable and sound judgment, tested
out by experience; progressive
plans made sane by practice in
logical thinking.
We want to redeem the Uhited
States from the blqt of the pres
ent administration, from the crime
of inefficiency.
We can do it by opening our
purses and wielding our ballots.
Three Classes
The people of Georgia are divid
ed into three classes, patriots,
policitians and parasites.
Which are you?
Give today and vote November
4.
Send your contribution to Davis
Bryan headquarters, Connelly
building, Atlanta, Ga., or send
them to Mrs. L. C. Warren, Spald
ing county chairman of the Davis
Bryan club.
