PLAIN DUTY OF DEMOCRATS.
Attention is called by Secretary
Blackburn, of the State Democratic
Executive Committee, to the impor
tance of getting out the full Democrat
ic vote in Georgia on Nov. 3. Without
attempting to Impress loyal Democrats
with a sense of (heir duty in the pres
ent emergency, which is so obvious and
impelling as to admit of no argument, it
is nevertheless of importance that ev
ery Democratic voter be made to un
derstand the peculiar situation which
exists in this State. Under our law a
plurality vote for Presidential electors
does not elect. The successful ticket
must receive a MAJORITY of all the
votes cast. With half a dozen tickets
in the field, hh is the case in the pres
ent. campaign, it will be easily possible
for the five opposition tickets to get
more votes in the aggregate than may
he given the Democratic ticket, in
which case the election would be
thrown into the General Assembly.
This, of course, would necessitate an
extra session of the Legislature, which,
without counting the matter of ex
pense, is an w^entuality to be avoided.
Georgia would be a laughing-stock
among her sister States of the much-
vaunted "Solid South’’ if, through de
fault of the Democratic voters on elec
tion day, it should bo found necessary
to call a special session of the General
Assembly in order to record her choice
of a candidate for President. Such a
proceeding would subject the State De
mocracy to endless ridicule from Dem
ocrats throughout the country, and
would be deplorable from any point of
view. This embarrassment may be ea
sily averted if Democrats only will do
their duty on election day, and it is to
be hoped that no further reminder will
be necessary to arouse them.
I >emocratic prospects nre daily grow
ing brighter, and in no better way can
Georgia atone for her asinine behavior
at the Denver Convention than by giv
ing liryan such a rousing majority as
will convince him that the Democrats
of the State are for him overwhelming
ly and enthusiastically, and that they
sincerely desire his election.
Hon. Hewlette A. Hall fully appreci
ates the responsibility resting upon
him as chairman of the State Demo
cratic Executive Committee, and is
keeping in close touch with tho leaders
of the party in every section of the
State. He is in constant communica
tion with his colleagues on the commit
tee, and no development since the
campaign opened has escaped his no
tice. He is making every effort to
arouse the State Democracy—not by
means of spectacular public demonstra
tions, but by more uuiet and effective
methods, and the indications are that
we shall see an uprising on Nov. 3 such
as has not been witnessed at a Presi
dential election in Georgia in many a
day.
One of the enterprising outriders of
the Republican Campaign Committee
was in Newnan yesterday making in
quiries regarding Taft’s chances in
Coweta, and seeking some sympathetic
white person to whonvhe might confide
certain plans for the redemption of the
State from Democratic domination, etc.
After surveying the field, and ascer
taining that there were only three re
puted white Republican voters in the
county, he quietly slipped away, leav
ing no forwarding directions or other
information that would indicate his
present whereabouts.
Bryan’s Majority in Georgia May De
termine Result.
Macon Telegraph.
A circular letter sent out by Secre
tary B. M. Blackburn of the State
Democratic Executive Committee call
ing attention to the peril of over-confi
dence in the Democratic ranks in Geor
gia. and to the necessity of polling a
big vote for Bryan on Nov. 3, should
have the effect to put every Democrat
in the State on his mettle and bring
him to the polls to vote for the Demo
cratic candidate for President.
The fact should not be minimized
that it is vitally necessary that Bryan
should not only get a plurality, but
that he should get a majority of the to
tal vote cast in Georgia for the several
candidates for the Presidency. The
situation appears to be this: A major
ity is necessary to the election of the
electoral ticket in this State, and a
mere plurality will throw the election
into the General Assembly. There
are technical reaspns why it may
be contended that the new General
Assembly cannot be legally assem
bled before next June, and in the
meantime the Georgia election for
President would go by default if thrown
into the Legislature. In a close Presi
dential election throughout the country
this default might alone cause the loss
of the Presidency to the Democracy. 'I
Evidently the Republicans and assist
ant Republicans have been figuring on
this scheme. While Democrats have
been disposed to regard with amuse
ment and as idle diversions the little
side-show Presidential tickets that
have been put out in Georgia with
Georgians on them', it turns out, from
this view of the matter, that there is
method in the Watson-Graves-Tapp
madness. Anything that tends to
bring out a vote iri Georgia for anybody
but Br?an may amount to half a vote
for Taft, if there are enough all told in
the opposition to prevent Bryan from
obtaining a majority of all the votes.
Secretary Blackburn figures that a
Bryan vote of upwards of 100,000 will
be necessary to insure his election
against any possible mishap. He as
signs Watson 35,000 votes, Taft 40,000
to 50,000, and the remaining Presiden
tial tickets a combined total of 10,000.
This will give the combined opposition
upwards of 90,000 votes, and Bryan
will have to get over 90,000 votes, pos
sibly 100,000 votes, to overcome them.
Bryan has never gotten as much as
100,000 votes in Georgia in any one of
his previous races. His highest vote
was in 1890, when he received 94,232.
It therefore becomes highly important
that the Democrats of the State should
be roused to the necessity of giving
him a bigger vote than ever, to guard
against the possible calamity of the
Presidency going to the Republicans by
Georgia's default.
The Telegraph foresaw this peril
when the Legislature was in session,
and repeatedly urged in its editorial
columns that steps be taken to change
the electoral provision, making a plu
rality vote decisive of the election in
stead of a majority vote. But the
matter was ignored by the administra
tion and the General Assembly, and it
now behooves us to guard against the
peril by bringing every Democrat to
the polls on Nov. 3.
To the Sportsmen of Georgia.
You must realize that our game is
rapidly vanishing to the extermination
point—a result due to insufficient laws
and the indifference of those interested.
Only a little active, intelligent co-op
eration on the part of the real sports
men is needed to correct the evil. If
you are willing to give a few moments
of your time to the procurement of bet
ter laws and a more rigid enforcement
of them when obtained, whereby there
muy be game in plenty for all, then
send a post-card with your name and
address to Cha9. L. Davis, Warm
Springs, Ga. He will act as present
chairman and secretary for the Geor
gia Game Protective Association, and
will promptly proceed to perfect a pre
liminary organization of Georgia
sportsmen to the end above indicated.
Please call your brother sportsmen’s
attention to this communication.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem

flamed condition of the mucous lining of
the eustachian tube. When this tube
is inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is noth-
