H. ENNIS. SECRETARY AND TREASURER A RESOLUTION Whereas, there are so many inconsistent and con flicting statements dealing with personalities in the National Campaign making it difficult to know whether or not we should accept the canddates of the Demo cratic and Republican parties as honorable and clean statesmen or bleieve the defamatory and scandalous utterances against them, placing them upon the same plane of fitness or unfitness,—we recognize that this Government is one of party administration and not a personal one and, as voters desiring to wisely cast our ballots on November the 6th. we are eliminating the personal equation between these candidates and of nrcessity in the circumstances, must cast our ballot for the best political party from our own viewpoint; and, Whereas, the history of the democratic party shows that it has best understood and appreciated our con ditions and problems in our Southland and has sympa thetically assisted in their solution commencing with the dark days concluding the Confederacy to the present time as against the unsympathetic and oppressive at titude of the republican party from the days of re construction to this day of the Dyer anti-lynch bill; and. Whereas, it was the resistence of our democratic representative* in the last Congress that prevented the passage of the said Dyer bill which has for its purpose the levying of a $10,000.00 penalty on the lax-payers of a county to be used for the benefit of the relatives of the criminal and without any consideration of the vio lated and suffering victim and her family; and, Whereas, the platform of the republican party pledges itself for the passage of such a law and the author of the said bill, the republican Congressman L. C. Dyer, has lately, towit, on October the 13th. stated that the passage of this law will set in motion the passage of other laws that will “drive such a thick wedge through the heart of the solid South and their white supremacy slogan that it will blow up their whole unconstititional program." and further stated, after the solid South has been blown to pieces by Engineer Hoover, our next President, that will be the finish of the uullificationists of the South * * * and place them (the negroes) on an equality with all other races, —thus making it clear that the success of the republican party would violate the traditions of our Southland and would upset the social status of our people and throw our peaceful section into racial strife with all its attendant dangers and bloodshed recalling the daysofrecons.ruc- tion and a vote for the republican c.ndid. es would be a declaration that we approve of their platform and of their purposes to pass such law., and. Whereas, we wish to commend our democratic representatives for their stand in resistant! the passage of said law and to urge their continued efforts to pre vent its passage to the preservation of our present socia, status and to the peace and harmony now exis , tween ourselves and the best members of the colored race; and. , , , , Whereas, the size of Georgias pocket-book and bank account and her prosperity are depmuimt upon agriculture and we know that, on account of the desert ec! farms of those who could not make a living in <- present conditions, Georgians growing «P■» a "° those farmers still survivivmg on the farms i need , h fP and the democratic platform and its candidates pledg specific and definite aid to our farmers as against du. past eight years of inertia and broken promises on the pari of the republican party to relieve the distressing condition of the farmers; and. Whereas, the matter of the prohibition law cannot be modified or changed except by the act of the Con gress, the same power that enacted it, and the plat form and the candidates of the democratic party pledged strict enforcement of the present law as against the evasive attitude of the republican platform and its candidates and the utter failure of its enforcement by the republican administration the past eight years (‘‘by their fruits ye shall know them”) and particularly in view of the fact that in the State of Georgia our ‘‘bone dry law” is much stricter than the National law and hence in the event of the modification and even re peal of the National law, our Supreme Court has held that our State law would still be in force and could not be changed or modified without State action; and, Wheieas, the democratic platform and its candi dates specifically provides for an equality of wages to women with that of men engaged in the same occupa tions; and. Whereas, the wisdom of the framers of our Consti tution against religious tests as a requirement for office in these Unites States has been justified in that members of the Catholic faith have filled the highest offices of the Judiciary—chief justice of the Supreme Court of the United States and the highest offices in our Legisla tive Department—members of Congress and the Senate; and have stood the test of loyalty and courage both as officers and as enlisted men on the battle front, and they are in like manner qualified for the Chief Execu tive and as President of these United States, and hence a vote against one on account of religious prejudice is both unconstitutional anc un-American and is necessari ly an abuse of the privilege and right to vote as well as a violation of our fundamental principle of keeping Church and State separate; and. Whereas, both our Senators and all of our Con gressmen of Georgia, who are in a better position than ourselves to know the true situation relating to the real issues in this Campaign, are. without exception, not only sanding by the party themselves, but are unanimously and enthusiastically urging the support of the Demo cratic National party: Therefore, be it resolved: that we the Women Voters of Baldwin County, are proud of the part that the Democratic Party has played in the history of our country and of its achievements of the past and we pledge our vote and support of the Democratic Party as representing our national attitude in the matters that confront our Nation, and to this end we form ourselves into an organization to be known a« Baldwin County Woman’s Democratic League, and we urge all voters, both men and women, not to be misled into the janks of the Republican Party, under the disguise of “Anti- Smith" or any other party-name, but to join us in mak ing the majority for the Democratic Ticket on Novem ber 6th, the largest in its history. Be it further resolved: that we thank our Sena tors and Congressmen for their resistance to the vicious Republican Dyer bill that threatens the peace and harm ony of the races in our Southland and our State. Be it further resolved: that a copy of this resolu tion be sent to the press for publication. Unanimously adopted. This October 17th, 1928; At Milledgeville, Georgia. MRS. JOS. E.
