Every one.
They ought to go out and work for him. They ought to

For Mr. Woodward as mayor means a better Atlanta

your children up in.
I have never met Mr. Woodward. 1 wouldn't even

Mr. Woodward is honest. In all the efforts his enemies
have made to blacken his character, no man has dared to
question his honesty. And I tell you mothers here in At

grafting, cheat ing and stealing than a lot of other so-called

GREEKS OF ATLANTA
ARE PREPARING TO
GO HOME TO WAR
Young Greeks in Atlanta are ready
to go to war. Already the railroad
passenger agents are being asked ques
tions as to rates to Athens byway of
New York, and at the coffee houses
where Atlanta Greeks congregate at
night the smoke clouds are picturing
visions of fighting. It is indicated that
at least 100 patriots will leave Atlanta
within a week or two for Athens and
the Patros.
News that Bulgaria’s army had
crossed the Turkish border reached At
lanta yesterday and at once the Greek
colony, already on the tiptoe of ex
pectancy. began preparations for war.
Turkey is the ancient enemy of Greece
and young Grecians are always ready
to turn .out when there is chance of
battle.
In the,, restaurants and bootblack
stands today nothing else is talked
about. Waiters and shiners chatter in
their own language as they attend to
the wants of customers. They are
humming the martial airs of their own
country and counting the American
dollars required to transport them from
Atlanta to their homes.
1.000 Greeks in Atlanta.
"There are about 1.000 Greeks in At
lanta," said one leader In the colony
today "If the war takes on serious
proportions 1 expect at least 200 of the
younger men will leave for the old
country There Is no regular organi
zation here, and the Greeks will go as
individuals There are many here who
belong to the army or who were sol
diers until they came to America. They
are ready to go, even though they must
leave their property behind The rest
of us will look after their holdings
If necessary. We are all patriots,
though we can not all answer the Hum
pet of war."
Most of the Atlanta Greeks come
from Athens and the Patros. within 150
miles radius of the ancient center of art
and culture They all are intensely
patriotic.

Mr. Chambers himself was called to

"I feel that 1 do not possess every

taking any part in politics.
What chance have women anyway under the present,
system of ring rule? If they want anything, it is hard to
get a hearing. I f they do get one, it is the kind of a hearing
in which everything they say goes in one ear and out the
other. 1 don’t know what “ring rule" is, but 1 know it
does nothing for the mothers.
* An honest man in public office is a man to cherish.
I A capable man in public office is a rarity.
t
Therefore, a man who is both honest and capable and is
running for office should have the vote; of honest and capa
ble men.
Because a woman has no vote she must not think that
she has no part in rhea Hairs of government. Every woman
should study the political situation and the needs of the
country and the city in which she lives. Otherwise she will
be unfitted to cast a ballot when she shall be called on to
do it.
You know what Mr. Woodward stands for. You know
he stands for the things Atlanta needs. You know that no
man has ever accused him of breaking a promise. You know
he is competent. You know he is honest.
It is your duty to impress these facts on your hus
