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.
