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. Och Mrs. J.

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.” . — — . ,.i
