FLAYS MV.SIfflTH
Mrs. E. C. Atkin, Leader and
Lecturer. Says Democratic
Candidate Is Enemy of Dry
Forces
4 meeting of the local Woman’s
fhri-tinn Temperance Union was
j.fi,j in the rflom of the Men's Bible
fIa-< of the Baptsit church Tuesday
afternoon. Mrs. E. C. Atkins, who
j. a prominent W. C. T. U. worker
anil lecturer, delivered an address.
.She denounced Governor A1 Smith as
the candidate of the liquor gang and
stated that he represented the forces
which would destroy those things for
which the W. C. T. U. had stood for
years. He had been elected Gover
nor of New York by Tnmany Hall
which stood for all that was corrupt.
He drank his “three high balls" n
jay, and that jt he should be elected
President he would violate the prohi
bition law for he would carry
whiskey into the White House.
There would be no negro electors
pat on the Republican ticket in Geor
gia. but if there was she would
press* the negro and swallow him
before she would vote for A1 Smith."
She criticised the editor of the Mo
ron Telegraph on .account of
criticism of Mrs. Marvin Will
and the stand she had taken in sup
porting the Republican ticket,
said the Howells of the Constitution
had always been liquor men.
Mrs. Atkins minced no words, and
her criticism of the Democratic
Candidate was vitriolic.
