EV[RY GEORGIA DEMOCRAT SHOULD DO HIS DUTY NOV. 5 GOVERNOR. BROWN, SENATORS B. CON AND SMITH, GOVERNOR ELECT SLATON, NATIONAL COMMITTEE HOWELL, JUDGE J. K. HINES AND OTHERS APPEAL FOR FULL DEMOCRATIC VOTE. STATE COMMITTEE’S APPEAL TO DEMOCRATS To the Democratic Voters of Georgia; W ith Democratic success certain on Novemver 5, Georgia can uot and will not be a laggard in rolling up a record breaking majority for Wilson and Marshall. There are mere than two hundred thousand Democratic voters in Geoi gia. When the paity is in power, it will be to our advantage to be able to prove our interest by showing that the bulk of us voted. It will be dis advantageous and embarrassing to have to admit such lack of interest as Will be indicated by a small vote, though it be sufficient to elect. Hon. Woodrow Wilson, candidate for president, is the first Southern I' an to be nominated by the party for that office since the C.vil war. L~a!l we fail to show, by a rousing vote, that we approve the ra.s of the ban which heretofore has been upon us? He spent his boyhood and early manhood in this state. Shall we be indifferent to the claims of a former fellow citizen? His wife, who will be the mistress of the white house, is a native of Georgia, and their children were born here. Shall Georgia Democrats be so lacking in gallantry as to give her lius band and their father a vote so rela lively small that they will have to blush for her own people? If every Democrat, who is able to, goes to the polls on election day and I votes the ticket of his choice, an un prect'dented total vote and majority w 11 be given Wilson and Marshall in Georgia. The state committee, without fear as to the result, sounds this call to tlie Democrats of Georg a. VOTE! REMIND OTHERS TO VOTE! We call upon the party leaders in the various counties to take active steps to see that the full vote of the party is polled. We call upon those who, by official preferment, have been given the confidence of the party to urge upon their fellow-Democrats the Importance of going to the polls. If they will perform this simple duty, Wilson and Marshall will re- >ceive more than 150,000 votes in Geor gia on November 5. I Geo gia Democrats, too, owe an un questioned duty to their members of congress, who, together with the oth er Democratic members of that body, have passed more legislation of value 'and importance to the people than has any congress in the last quar ter of a century. And these meas ures materially lowering the cost of living, would have been laws today b’d it, not been for the vetoes of a Republican president. let me call attention to the fact that the national committee has fixed {■AhuCay, November 2, as rallying d.iy for the country. Regardless of how assuring the out I ok may be in any county, we call i pon -he Democrats to meet on that day, and, at h ast, take steps for poll ing a full vote in their respective 4 Tumunities on the Wednesday fol io wng. I his is of great importance. I d every Geoigia Democrat do his duty! uc pectfully, 'Mi. STATE DEMOCRATIC EXEG UTiVE COMMITTEE, W. J. Harris, Chairman. A. H. Ulm, Secretary. GOVERNOR EROWN'S CALL TO VOTERS OF GEORGIA. To the I emocrats of Georgia: Le me express the hope that every l;err;< crat who took part in the pri ilia y last May and every other Dem octal who can get to the polls will < rst his ballot in the national elec t.j.i for the Wilson and Marshall elec tors. The fight we had in the'pri nv.ry was in no sense one against V.’i’pon and Marshall, but was one for l rwood as Georgia's preference. Be ng a resident of Alabama, the daughter of Georgia, we sentimentally preferred him, but, when the conven tion- nominated Governor Wilson, it automatically made It the duty of ev ery Democrat in the Union cordially ami vigorously to support Governor Wilson. I cannot be too clear, there fore. in the declaration that I sin cerely hope and earnestly urge that every registered Democrat in Geor gia who can go to the polls in No vember will cast his ballot for the Wilson and Marshall electors. This is n my opinion, a Democratic year, and Georgia, the leading state of the So’ fh, must maintain her merited a 3 c.t dancy in Democrats councils and by no means, therefore, should she f ::l to give a sweeping majority for Wilson and Marshal.—Jos. M. Brown. SENATOR HOKE SMITH'S FORCEFUL STATEMENT. Wir'ng from New York, where he « <'n"'i2 , d n assisting the ’national Democratic campaign committee. Till ed States Senator Hoke Smith sends this message to Georgia Democrats: New York. October 2* —Hon W. J. Harris, Chairman, Atlanta. Ga.: It gives me pleasure to send a few words to Georgia Democrats upon 'he pes den Hal election. I w’sh 1 could spend n->xt week with them but the national committee urges me to re main in the East, and 1 must work where most needed. I have no doubt about the election of Governor Wiison but I earnestly hope Georgia will give him a sp eu did majority. He was born in Vir ginia, ten years of h s life w.-re spent in Georgia, he married the daughter cf our beloved Georgia cTr i> an, Doctor A.'.'n, rtvj wo n i ius ehiiuren were born in Gainesville. With President and Mrs. Wilson, we will be at home in the white house as never before. Taft and Roosevelt each support unjust high tariff taxes. Roosevelt supports trusts and monopolies. With Wilson as president we will firmly enforce the law against trusts and monopo lies. We will substantially reduce tariff rates. Wiison is free frnm any improper influence which could em barrass his services to all the people. With him as president we free our government from control by selfish interests. Far more important than the local prde this election wi l ! give ns, should be the genuine service-to all the peo ple which will come from it. This is our one opportunity. Taft and Roosevelt, with their allies, Aldrich and Cannon and Perkins, have split the Republican party in two. A great victory is in front of us, and I beg every Democrat in our beloved state of Georgia to vote and to get his neighbor to vote, and thus become a part of our victory.—Hoke Smith. SENATOR BACON URGES DEMOCRATS TO VOTE. In a telegram addressed to State Chairman W. J. Harris, Senator A. O. Bacon, now in New York City, says: “Every Democrat in Georgia should certainly go to the polls aud deposit his ballot on November 5. Unless all signs fail, Woodrow Wilson is go ing to be the next pres : deat of the United States, and every Georgian will be gratified to enjoy the con sciousness that he contributed his vote in accomplishing that great re sult. v “No appeal to Georgia Democrats would be required, were it not that the confidence of our people in the certain vote of the state, naturally induces the feeling in each man that his particular ballot is not necessary to secure it. The Democrats in New York and other doubtful states where every vote must be fought for and brought out, will be greatly encour aged by the knowledge that the in terest of Georgia thi3 decisive con test has stirred the state and will bring every man to the polls. “When the gratifying result is an nounced and t'here dawns for us the new political day, it will be intense ly gratifying to Georgians to note, when they compare the votes, that this state has not been laggard, but has stood in the forefront of the vic tors.” GOV. ELECT J- M. SLATON APPEALS TO DEMOCRATS “Every Democrat in Georgia should vote for Woodrow Wilson on Novem ber 5. He is the first Democrat we have had a cnauce of electing since Cleveland. With no state in the Un ion has he closer personal association than Georgia. By birth, by ancestry, by sympathy, he is Southern. His wife is a Georgia woman. He has lived in our midst. He knows our civilization and is in touch with our ideals and our civilization. It would be impossible for him to make John Brown’s birthday an occasion to ad vocate the eradication of state lines, and the enlargement of Federal pow er as did Mr. Roosevelt at Ossawat omie. Neither could he denounce as traitors Jefferson Davis or Robert E. Le*. Governor Wilson would agree with that great Virginian, who was first president, that a third term men aces the perpetuity of Republ can government. “Neither of his opponents has ever done anything towards relief of our tariff burdens, nor do they promise anything in the line of reduction of the tariff. Of all people should Geor g'r s living in a state, which is fourth in :he v’luc of f” ~ r ißural products, vote for that man their relief from paying tribute to govern ment fostered industries, while re ceiving no governmental favorit sm themselves. There is not a laborer who toils in the shop, nor a farmer who ploughs beneath the summer sun, nor a merchant who purchases his wares, who can expect relief front any source except the Democratic party. “Every Georgian who stays away from the polls or casts his vote against Woodrow Wilson, but lessens the influence of Georgia in national affa rs and retards her recognition as a leader in the sisterhood of states. “Wilson will be elected anyway. The probabilities of his success are two to one in his favor. Why should we embarrass our representatives in congress by giving a lame majority to a man who represents that party which rescued us from the horrors of reconstruction, and who personally ! s bound to our people by every hu man bond. 1 do not believe they will do it.” COMMITTEEMAN HOWELL SOUNDS DUTY KEYNOTE. Hon. Clark Howell, national Dem ocratie committeeman from Georgia, makes strong appeal for a lull Dem ocratic vote in this state next Tues day. "Every Democrat in Georgia shou.d take 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 ate counting on this majority feature of the Georgia law and assumed Democratic apathy to make a showing Of course they couldn’t profit by it, because the leg islature Aould 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 the world that the Democracy of th s state had practically failed to meet the test in this the most crucial cam paign of the party s history since the war. “If there ever was a time when a Democrat ought to vote, it is now— 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 eyer had be fore. “If the Democratic party doesn’t win now, it never will win. But we will w n by the biggest majoiyty on record. I think a dozen states di vided between Roosevelt and Taft, is an exceedingly liberal allowance out of the forty-seven. “Wi ll the Republicans split half in two, with two candidates in the field and with Loth w ngs preferring the election of the Democratic candidate to the success of each other, it is simply and absolutely a question of oounting Wilson’s majority.” UNDERWOOD FOLK STAUNCH FOR WILSON There is no more ardent Democrat ! in Georgia than Hon. G. R. Hutchens jof Rome, who successfully led the fight before the Georgia primary for | Congressman Underwood of Alabama. Mr. Hutchens is now foremost in the •ranks of those who are urging every loyal Democrat in Georga to turn out and vote for Woodrow Wilson on November 5. In, an interview just 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 h.story of the state, and let it be in this man ner known that we regard our party as one who safeguards correct princi ples and preserves the sacred iustitu tion of human rights and human hap piness, and guarantees to each and every cit'zen the right to enjoy the fruits of his labor, without unjust dis crimination. “As the manager of Mr. Under wood's campaign, I want to make an appeal to every man who was wifa me in that preliminary contest to be 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.” It is possible that the world’s fu ture supply of paper pulp will be de rived from the bamboo forests of the tropics instead of being drawn from the'forests of the temperate zones. Successful experiments have been made in Japan pointing in that direc tion. A company has obtained a per petual lease of 8,000 acres of bamboo forest in Formosa, enough to provide CCO tens a month. T n natural wonders Arizona is one of the most attractive of the United States. FARMS AT AUCTION ■—■KiHTtfr ITT ~' ,11 HT Buy while they are cheap. They’ll go higher.
