The Tariff The Issue .
Woodrow Wilson The Man
The VOTERS The Jury
The Verdict
Woodrow Wilson, President
November Sth ,
To Our Farmer Friends.
We appeal to you to go the voting places on next
Tuesday and cast your vote for Wilson and Marshall.
Lower Tariff will mean to the Southern Farmer a reduc
tion of the prices on all his purchases, a direct saving
on all living expenses in every family. The glittering
generalities of the opposition hold out nodirect results
to YOU, the sole platform pledge that applies to you is
the Tariff Plank. Both of the opposition parties stand
for a high Tariff on manufactured goods, the things
that you are compelled to buy, with no assurance of any
relief from the various parasites that live off of the
Cotton planter. The Democratic Party offers you a re
duction on your purchases by reducing the Tariff duties
and every household will reap its share in proportion to
its expenditures. It is imperative that the voters living
in the country, the producers of the RAW materials, in
self protection, vote the democratic ticket. The manu
facturing interests and their satilites are behind the op
position, the success of either means a continuance of
the Protective Tariff, the progenitor of Trusts and Mo
nopolies. All other issues are incidental and minor to
this overshadowing evil that taxes you from the Cradle
to the Grave.
For ratification ¢f amendment to
Article 7. Section 2, Paragraph 2, of
the Constitution of the State (against
authorizing the General Assembly
to exempt from taxation farm pro
ducts.)
Mr. Farmer, this amendment must be voted on
next Tuesday, Nov. sth. Your personal interest demands
that you go to the polls and vote for this amendment.
Farm products in the hands of the producer or in ware
house subject to his erder will be exempt from taxation,
It is easy for YOU farmers to get it passed if you will
turn out and vote. It is your plain duty and to your
financial benefit to go to the election at your voting
precinct---See that your neighbor goes.

A Clarion Call
Atlanta, Oct. 26.—Governor Brown today issued a clarion call
to the Democrats of Georgia to rally to Wilson and Marshall on No
vember sth. He expresses satisfaction with the abandonment of
the “‘pink”’ ticket idea and says: :
“The names on the ticket and not the color of the paper are
what count in the election.” Then he says:
“‘Let me express the hope that every Democrat who took part
in the primary last May and every other Democrat who can get to
the polls, will cast his ballot in the national election for Wilson and
Marshall electors. The fight we had in the primary was in no
sense one against Wilson and Marshall, but was one for Underwood
as Georgia’s preference. Being a resident of Alabama, which state
is a daughter of Georgia, we sentimentally preferred him, but
when the convention nominated Governor Wilson, it automatically
made it the duty of every Democrat in the Union cordially and vig
orously to support Wilson.
“I sincerely hope and earnestly urge that every registered
Democrat in Georgia who can go to the polls in November wi]l cast
his ballot for Wilson and Marshall. This is in my opinion a Dem
ocratic year, and Georgia, the leading state of the South, must
maintain her merited ascendency in Democratic councils, and by
no means should she fail to give a sweeping majority for Wilson
and Marshall.”’ |

“Tifton” is Name Of
A Newly-Born Lion
Tifton, Ga., Oct. 30 —*‘Tifton”’
is the name of a baby lion born
this morning to the big African
lioness in King Edward’s wild
animal show on the midway in
exposition grounds. The show
arrived from Macon late last
night, and was being placed on
the grounds in preparation for
grounds in preparation for the
the opening of the South Georgia
exposition tomorrow, when the
event happened. The mother
lion is so jealous of her new
charge that she growls angrily
at even her keeper if they ap
proach the cage. Manager Reiss,
as soon as he had viewed the new
member of his show, declared its
name to be ‘‘Tifton.”’
Mr. Albert Brunner recetved a
