H. C. SEAMAN,
TO THE DEMOCRATIC
V0TER8 OF THE STATE:
The congressional elections will oc
cur on Tuesday next, Nth, Inst, and I
deem it of the utmost importance that
a full vote he -polled In Georgia, even
In those districts where there is no
opposition to the regular party noml-
For many years the white primary
has practically settled all political
contests In this State, and our peo
ple havo therefore come to regard
the regular elections following as
mere formalities.' As a result, only
a small percentage of the registered
vote is usually polled In the general
elections. This apathy Is to be depre
ciated, for many reasons. Our nom
inees are entitled to the compliment of
a full vote In the general election.
Moreover, it Is a duty we owe to the
party, and at this- parlculur juncture
It. Is of especial ami peculiar Impor
tance that the electorate of Georgia
show Is full strength In the approach-
ing ' Congressional election. For
many years pant certain Republican
members of Congress have sought,
session after session, to sgltate the
question of reducing the south’s rep
resentation In that body, and in sup
port of this effort reference Is always
made to the light vote -polled lb our
general elections, invidious compari
son being made with the heavy vote 1 *«»ve the Institution,
recorded In the Northern, EasteTn and
Western States’. In view of the re-
cnet census, It Is expected that Con
gress will, st Its coming seSIfon, un
dertake the enactment of measures pro
vldlng for the re-apportionment o? the
representation of the different States
In that body for the next decade. TTn
der the new census It is believed
Georgia will make such a showing as
will entitle her to another Hepresen-
tatlva. / Yet the apathy of oor people
uncos to a hoard of arbitration. Mrs.
Robbins said she believes the strike
will bo settled within a few days.
The first definite move toward a
settlement was made at Hull House
tonight at a meeting of tho citizen’s
committee. The Issues at stake were
submitted to the entire committee,
which Immediately took up tho ques
tion of finding a ground on which
employees and employer may reasona
