The south is «olid. In tho west und east there is a mat revolution of feeling In favor of Wil liam J. Bryan. "Special privileges to pone," and p. government of the people by the peo ple. Is tho cry. Georgia, the Empire State of the south, has ever stood in tho front rank of democracy, declaring tho people shall rule. I wish to Impress Chat the Georgia law requires a majority vote In the presidential election. The state Is invaded by four other parties to defeat n majority vote. If they succeed the Georgia legisla ture. Ip extra session, will have to declare the result. An extra session will’bp costly to the taxpayers. This can be averted If the voters turn out and go to the polls. I beg of the voters of tho .Third congressional district to realise that It Is Important to lay aside ull busi ness on Tuesday, the 3d day of No vember, and give. Mr. Bryan Che re quired majority vote. Thero is another reason: Wo make our fight In the primary election nnd neglect the general elec tions. Congress estimates our vote by the general election, nnd a small vote In the general election causes embarrassment to your Georgia con gressmen. The "Crum packers” of congress complain that our represen tation is not In accord with our vote. It will be most gratifying to , all Georgia congressmen to have a heavy vote polled. Hence I Issue Vils ad dress, hoping that the appeul will reach fie voters, and Impress upon them the Importance of a large out pouring of the democratic voter* on the 3d of November. > Respectfully. v - '* DUDLEY M.

A pleasing feature ot tno trip was the repeated calls for Mm. Bryan, wtoo shared In t-he handshaking with her husband. She waa overwhelmed with attention and was tho recipient of many handsome itorut pieces. The democratic candidate, although he Imo but six tHoura* sleep, appeared fresh nnd strong when he delivered hi* first of sixteen speeches of the day at Hammond, Ind., nt 7:80 o’clock. HI* favorite themeso today were the planks of the democratic platform rclutlng to tabor, tho guaranty of bank -deposits and to tho publicity of campaign con tributions. He nppculcd for support of tho democratic party on the-ground that it whs nearer to tho people nnd pledged hlmeelf, if elected, to devote all hls energies to the fulfilment of t'le promises contained In hta platform. To the laboring men he pointed out Mr. Taft ns their enemy, and to tho farmer* he said that Mr. Taft had nothing to offer In the way of relief. Tim whole Journey was made In a special train and tho route traversed cas almost In a straight line south f Chicago. At various times during tho day Mr. Bryan was accompanied by candidates for state offices and for congress. Including Thomas Marshall, the democratic nominee for governor. The Louisville Speech. In Louisville tonight Mr. Bryan said: "I called attention yesterday to the fact that the republican congressional committee has not promised to make lls contribution* public even after tho election. When the republican na tional committee announced that con tributions to the committee would ho made public after the election. It con demned the policy of secrecy ns to contributions, though It refused to give tfho people the benefit of the publicity until after the votes are oolled. Will the republican committee now un- nounco Its policy? If It refused to promise publicity even after the elec tion what conclusion shnll we draw front Its silence? It comes under the condemnation of the renubllcan na tional committee, nnd there can but one cxplnnntton of Its refusal to give the name* of contributors and thnt explanation la Wiat the congre* slonal committee Is to be made the blind pool Into which ntonay will be poured that will to® too mUOi tainted to give to Win ' republican nnt.tonnl committee. I demand an answer to the question: Will the republican con gressional committee promise to give to the public the names nf the contrib utors to the congressional fund? The campaign Is drawing to a class. W« had collected something like 3260.000 up to the 1 l5Ft of October, nnd the chalrmnn -announced thnt we would need about 3100.000 more fop the com- nlotlon of the campaign. The repub lican committee fan* refused to tell the public how much It has collected, but republican newspaper* announce that money haH been pouring. Into the treasury lately, nnd large sums will be sent Into tho doubtful states. Purohsss f Votes. "What use Is to be made of these targe sums at this period of the cam paign. It I* not to bp used for litera ture, for the circulation of literature has almost passed. It Is not to be, used for the perfecting of th» organi sation. for tho organisation has Already been perfected. What other use can be contemplated except the purchase of such votes ns can be purchased? The republican lenders have not scrupled at purchase | n the past, and I call your attention to the fact thnt pur chase Is now contemplated wherever a purchaseahlo voter can be found. How long will the American people permit tho corruption of politics hy the Jhreditnrv Interests? How 'long can tho Republican narly claim to bo a moral agency while Its leaders re sort to the secret contributions nnd to the enormous corruption fund?” On the Panio Question. On the panic question ho said: "We have had three panics since 1840 and all three of them came under high tariffs, nnd two of them under republican presidents. The panic of ’78 came under the Morrill high tariff: the panic of *93 under the McKinley high tariff—a year before that law was repealed. The pnnlr of *07 enme under the Dlngley high tariff. Here we have every panic In tho Inst forty-eight yearn coming while a high tariff In# was In force. The tariff Is a pAnlc breeder and those who favor a high tariff are Impotent to protect their country from business depression. "Statistics show there were morn business failures tho first pine months of this year than there were tho first nine month* of 1893 or the flrit nine months of 1894. The failures were reunion. The attendance Is expected greater during the first nine months of thl* year under tho Dlngley high tariff taw than In 1895 or 1896 tinder tho Wilson bill.
