Whereas, there are so many inconsistent and con-
i lifting statements dealing: with personalities in the National
Campaign making it difficult to know whether or not we
should accept the candidates of the Democratic and Re
publican parties as honorable and clean statesmen or be
lieve the defamatory and scandalousc utterances against
tnem, placing them upon the same plane of fitness or un
fitness,—we recognize that this Government is one of party
administration and not a personal one and, as voters de
siring to wisely cast our ballots on November the 6th, we
are eliminating the personal equation between these candi
dates and of necessity 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 underwood and appreciated our conditions
and problems in our Southland and has sympathetically as
sisted in their solution commencing with the dark days con
cluding the Confederacy to the present time as against the
unsympathetic and oppressive attitude of the republican
party from the days of reconstruction to this day of the
Dyer anti-lynch bill; and,
Whereas, it was the resistence of our democratic repre
sentatives in the last Congress that prevented the passtge
of the said Dyer bill which has for its purpose the levying
of a 610,000.00 penalty on the tax-payers of a county to be
used for the benefit of the relatives of the criminal and
without any consideration of the violated and suffering
ctim 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
kiw will set in motion the passage of other laws that will
such a thick wedge through the heart of the Solid
South and their white supremacy slogan that it will blow
up their whole unconstitutional program," ajnd further
listed, "after the Solid South has been blown to pieces by
tnffineer Hoover, our next President, that will be the finish
of the nuDificationists 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 up-
t the social status of our people and throw our peaceful
section into racial strife with all its attendant dangers and
bloodshed recalling the days of reconstruction, aad a ve*e
r lb* republic** candidate. would b* • declaration that
approve of their platform *>d of their porpoeee to pom
•xch laws; and,
Where**, we wish to con mend our democratic rep re-
•rotative, for their stand la resisting the passage of said
o urge their continued efforts to prevent its passage
o the preservation of our present social status and to the
e and hnrraony now existing between ourselves and the
member# of the colored race; and,
hereas, the size of Georgia’s pocket-book and bank
un t and her prosperity are dependent upon agriculture
we brow that, on account of the deserted farms of
*ho coaid not make a living in the present conditions,
a is growing up in weeds and thos* farmers still sur.
on the farms srsd help and the democratic platform
• candidates pledge specific and definite aid to our
• a# against the past eight years of inertia and
broken promises on the part of the republican party to re
lieve the distressing condition of the farmers; and.
Whereat*, the matter of the prohibition law cannot
Le modified or chungcd except by the act of the Congress,
the same power that enacted it, and the platform and the
candidate-* of the democratic party pledged strict enforce
ment of the present law as against the exasive attitude of
the republican platform and its candidates and. the utter
failure of its enforcement by the republican administra
tion 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 repeal of the National law, our Supreme Court has held
that our State law would still be enforce and could not be
changed or modified without State action; nnd,
Whereas, the democratic platform and it# candidates
specifically provides for an equality of wages to women
with that of men engaged in the same occupations; and.
Whereas, the wisdom of the framers of our Constitu
tion 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 office# of the
Judiciary—chief justice of the Supreme Court of the United
States and the highest offices in our Legislative 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 quali
fied for the Chief Executive and a# President of these
United States and hence a vote against one on account of
religious prejudice is both unconstitutional and un-Amer
ican and is necessarily 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 Senatros and all of our Congress
men of Georgia, who are in a better position than ourselves
to know the true situation relating to the real issues in this
Campaign, a-e, without exception, not only standing by the
party themselves, but are unanimously and enthuaiastically
urging the support of the Democratic National party:
Therefore, be is resolved: that we the Women Voter*
of Baldwin County, are proud of the part that the Demo
cratic 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 nation
al attitude in the matters that confront our Nation, and to
this ».nd we form ourselves into an organization to be known
as Baldwin County Woman’s Democratic League, and we
urge all voters, both men and women, not to be misled into
the tanks of the Republican Party, under the disguise of
"Anti-Smith” or any other party-name, but to join us in
making the majority for the Democratic Ticket on Novem
ber 6th, the target* in its htatory.
Be it further rerolved: that we thank our Senators and
Congressmen for their resistance to the vicious Republican
Dyer bill that threatens the peace and harmony of the rac«-s
in our Southland ard cur State.
Be it further resolved: that a copy of this resolution
be sent to the press xcr publication.
Unanimously adopted. This Octobc 17th, 1923.
