Mra. , c _ M-nonaiii n w n».„ i, n‘ Waycross, Ga., Oct. 30, 1908 It is highly important laat we should all go to the polls next Tuesday and vote for the Bryan and Kern democrat ic electoral ticket. There is a strong effort being made by Tom Watson and his populist followers and the repub licans to prevent Brjan and Kern from getting a majority in Georgia. If successful the tax payers would be burdened with the expense of another extra session of the Legislature to chooso electors aud should the election throughout the United States be close, Georgia's vote might be thrown out and Bryan defeated and Taft elected. A vote for the Watson electoral ticket means this and only this and no one knows it better than Watson himsolf, hence his only purpose is to defeat the democracy if possible and elect tho republican ticket. Let Warn county democrats bo not deceived by this arch enemy of that grand old party, the friend of tho south in war and peace, our only refuge In times of trouble and sure bulwark for local self government and the protection of our political and social Integrity. We must not bo prejudiced against demo cracy and its gr^at leader William J. Bryan, by the unjust nbuso and out rageous slanders of Watson, a traltbr party and Its bitterest enemy., and being mislead Into doing that which could only only benefit tho republican party and Its candidate for the presidency, tint patty which by its unjust courses brought on Iho Civil War, robbed the South of thousands of preclpus lives and millions of property; inflicted upon us the horrors of the reconstruction period, disfranchised the Intelligent white man and enfranchised the Ig norant blacks, upheld the scalawags . and carpetbaggers ns they plundered our states and people; the party that has maintained a robbert arlff, tho mother of mondpolies and trusts, and favors a Strong centralized govern ment In the interest of the classes against the masses, and not only spends its billions In profligate gov ernment but its millons to corrupt the elections and perpetuate itrelf In pow* True to all that is noble and good and for the present and future wel fare of our bploved country, let us as lplt«J £4uthortf»rs aid Organized demo crat, aea to It that qld Warp .roll, up Ita usual overwhelming majority for the nomlneea of our party on Tuesday next so that whatever other, may do Or Whatever may be the reault In the nation, our political con.ctence will be kept clear and'void, of offenae.
