Sixth District Elector Writes
Voters
To the Voters of the Sixth Con
gressional District:
It is to be hoped that every
democrat in our district will be
mindful of his duty on the sth of
November, not only in the matter
of going to the polls and voting:
the WUson-Marshall ticket, but
also in reminding and urging;
others to do so.
The Republican Party is with
out force or results in Georgia,
and the ‘slush’ compiled for cam
paign purposes, only, in the plat
form of the Bull Mose movement
should not have its intended effect
of decieving our people, especially
democrats.
Mr. Wilson is an easy winner inr
Georgia, but with the five tickets:
in the field there may be some
slight possibility of his not getting:
a majority of all the votes cast.
In such event, an extra session of
the legislature would have to be
called to elect Presidenial Electors
which would cost the tax pyaers
of Georgia about thirty thousand
dollars. So, a vote for either Mr.
Taft or Mr. Rosevelt could lend
aid ouly towards one result, the
expense of an extra session of the
legislature.
Besides the many reasons of
daily mention why Georgia should
give the Wilson-Marshall ticket a
large majority, every democrat
should be interested in the pride of
his state and appreciate that the
larger the majority the greater will
be the influence of Georgia in the
democratic councils of the nation-
Talk the advantage and the
importance of giving the Wilson-
Marshall ticket a large majority
on the sth, day of November.
O. G. Coogler, Elector.
