COMMITTEEMAN HOWELL
SOUNDS DUTY KEYNOTE.
Hon. Clark Howoll, national Dem
ocratic committeeman from Georgia,
makes strong appeal for a full Dem
ocratic vote In this state next Tues
day.
"Every Democrat In Georgia
should tako the trouble to go to the
polls and vote In next Tuesday's elec
tion,” Mr. Howell said, "If for no
other reason, because of the majority
feature In the Georgia law.
"There Is, of course, no -doubt of
the fact that Georgia Is overwhelm
ingly Democratic. The two wings of
the Republican party are counting on
this majority feature of the Georgia
law and assumed Democratic apathy
to make a showing. Of course thoy
couldn't profit by it, because the leg
islature would select Democratic elec;
tors.
“But It would be a feather in the;
Republican cap, If that party could,
succeed In throwing the choice Into
the legislature; and it would likewise-;
be a source of great humiliation to,
Georgia to have It go out to - tliej
world that the Democracy of. this
state had practically failed to meet:
the test lu this the most crucial cam-{
paign of the party's history since the:
war. |
"If there ever was a time when a;
Democrat opght to vote, it Is now—j
not merely because he is voting for]
the party nominee, but for the more,
essential reason that he Is voting for.
the very thing the Democrats of the,
South have been fighting for. all their
lives, and with a better chance of get;
ting It than' they .have ever had be
fore. '
"If the Democratic party doesn’t
win now, it never will win, But we
will win by the biggest majority on
record. I think a dozen states dl-.
vlded between Roosevelt and Taft,
is an exceedingly . liberal allowance
out of the forty-seven.
"With the Republicans split half In'
two, with two candidates in the fieljf
and with both w.’ngs preferring the
election of the Democratic candidate
to the success of each other, it Is .
simply and absolutely a question of
couuting Wilsonls majority.”
W. M. Hudson of near
locknee was here Tuesday.

UNDERWOOD FOLK
' STAUNCH FOR WILSON
There is bo more »rd«at Democrat
in Georgia th$n Hon. G. R. Hutche
of Rome, who successfully led the
fight before the Georgia primary for
Congressman Underwood of Alabama', j.
Mr. Hutchens Is now foremost fn the I
ranks of those who are urging every
loyal Democrat in Georgia to turn
out and vote for Woodrow Wilson on
November B. In- an interview Just j
given out, Mr. Hutchens says:
“I hope every Democrat in Georgia
will make it a point to vote the Demo
cratic ticket In November, and roll
up the biggest majority in the history
of the state, and let it be in this man
ner known that we regard our party
as one who safeguards correct princl-1
pies and preserves the sacred instltu- \
tlon of human rights and human hap
piness, and guarantees to each and
every citizen - the right to enjoy the
fruits of hiB labor, without unjust dis- >
crimination. x
“As the manager of Mr. Under
wood’s campaign, I wont to make
appeal to every man who was with
me In that preliminary contest to bo
sure and vote in November, for first
of all we are Democratic from princi
ple, and in this patriotic manner,
alike with all other Democrats of the
nation, keep up the fight - until we
reach, the sublimity of a complete res
toration.”
FORMER POPULIST
SUPPORTING WILSON
Evidence that the Populists of .
Georgia who have come back into
the Democratic party, consider them-
selve^ in honor bound to support the
nojiilnle of the Democracy for presi
dent, after having participated in the
state primary, is voiced by those for
mer Populist leaders who fought.its
hardest battles — Hon. ..-Seaborn
Wright of Rome, ' Hon. W. L. Peek
of Conyers and Judges James K.
Hines of Atlanta.
“I shall most certainly ' vote for
Woodrow Wilson for president,” said
Judge Hines,' In discussing his atti
tude, "and I consider that every man
Who participated in the Georgia pres
idential primary, is In honor bound
to support the nominee of the party.
"Before the primary I was an Un
derwood man, and if Underwood had
won, we would have had the right
to expect the Wilson men to support
him. I am glad to. note that, with
small exception, the Underwood men
are standing solidly by the nominee.
"Besides, Wilson Is a good man,
capable man, and will make a splen
did president. He is one of the fore
most among our'progressive leaders,
has a good progressive platform back
of him and I-am confident he. is going
to win. Then-, too, he Is a Southern
man and married a Georgia woman;
so there is every reason w’.'.y Geor
gians and Southerners generally
should strongly and cordially support
him.”
