Despite the fact that both of
the Mcßae papers, the Free
Press and the Botirpiise are
•appjrtiag their fellowtownman,
Governor Talmadge. The young
and brlllenl Attorney General,
Ellis Arnall, lias sportsmanship
enough about him to carry ads in
both of them inviting the people
of Telfair county to tune in and
listen to the next Governor.
Hugh Peterson’s
Political House Afiri
There is no doubt but that
Hugo Peterson's political house
has c«n<bton tire, and it is going
to take tome mighty good work
and much passing of the “little
sack' in the hands of brother
Jim to save the day for our
Congressman, if indeed it can be
sa> o st all.
nave to admit that we i
did not think Albert Cobb had a <
chance to carry a B h gh county '
at the s^art of ihings, but after
having been ina number of these '
counties we do not know of a ,
county that it does not look as
though he will carry it.
Os course that does not take in
Chatham, for Chatham will be on
the bandwagon of the man that is
a winner. They never help a
fellow get elected, but always
craw) on after he has made the
grade elsewhere.
,It the political machine in
Chatham were to come out in the
papers and make the statement
that they weresupporting Albert
Cobb for Congress, there is no
doubt but that lie would sweep
the district.
It looks to us as if Chatham
will have to hook on to the Albert
Coob bandwagon.
Os course, we may not know
what we are talking ab >ut, but if
there is anything to what people
are saying and hearing, nine out
of ten tell you that they are for
Albert Cobb and that he is going 1
towin. and than Hugh’s best’
friends tell you that they do not
admire his record in Washington
and if '‘there was a good man
against him they wouldn't vote
for Hugh,” and that is just what
wj herd his strongest support
ers in Bryan County say this
week.
Yes, unless brother Jim gels
busy wi.h his "sack” and 1< ses
no time, there is no ques.im but
the cause will ba beyond saving
We have no kick on our Cong
ressman being named Albert
Cibb.—Pembrokef Bryan County)

Ellis Arna!! Leads The Fight
• DECENCY!
• • DIGNITY!
• DEMOCRACY!
Never before in the history of Georgia has there
been such an overwhelming sweep of public senti
ment against dictatorship as is being shown in the
present campaign for Governor.
The farmers, merchants, business men, laboring
■ men, newspaper editors, women, preachers, students
. . . all die saying with an unanimous voice that
GEORGIA WILL BE REDEEMED!
The Dictator and his Palace Guard are desperate.
They see the rising tide of revolt against their rule
or-ruin tactics. They see the free press of Georgia
nearly 10 to 1 against them. They see an ever in
creasing number of former supporters patriotically
rallying to the cause of decency and democracy
championed by Ellis Arnall. They see them leaving
their discredited administration.
, Ellis Arnall in his campaign for Governor wel
comes the support of every man and woman who
loves Georgia. He invites the help of all citizens,
regardless of past political affiliation. This crusade
to redeem Georgia is bigger than any man. The
future of our state is at stake.
The real issue is democracy or dictatorship for
Georgia.
The tide is rising .. . and cannot be turned back.
Georgia will be redeemed.
Vote for Ellis Arnall for Governor on September
9th, help to redeem Georgia from political dictator
ship.

FOR CONGRESS
Albert L, Cobb
To The Voters of The First Congres
sional District of Georgia:
On July 4, 1912, I qualified as a
candidate for Congress in the Demo
* cratic Primary to beheld ou Septem*
her 9, 1912, and am now waging an
active campaign for the nomination in
said primary.
As the people of our District gen
erilly know, I h ivc long and earnestly
advocated full parity prices for our
farmers; Rural Electrification for
every farm home; long-time, low-In
teresi Federal Farm loans that would
enable every farmer to own his own
farm and home, while full parity
prices enabled him to keep outo(
lebt and provide him with an income
on a level with other lines of bisi*
loss; aod retirement pensions for
every person at the age of sixty.
While i hive preached these ani
other progressive reforms, and stil\
1 >, our present Congressm in has all
along opposed them, and st ill does;
yet, the princip il, piimery ai d para
m>u issues of this campaign wiM
inevita ily be, as they should of right
oi, the unenviable record of the pre
sent C mgressman during tl.e pas
two years in opp >siug this eountrj’a
s raggle to prep re itself against th
nil Dictators of Eiro P e and Asia
vh > long ag > set out io destroy
timocracy aidw eik America as a
411100 and as a People.
The Recbrd will show, a d I shall
iresently present it to you, that the
Congressman from the First Georgia
District has st md almost alon from
i; whole South in li -htiug the Presi
le it ot U iited St «tes and our leaders
if Govern uent in their r fforts to save
i nivica from Hitlerism and the Japs
and up in th it written Record, which
hi cannot dodge or deny, I shall ask
I Uis defeat at ttie hands of the loyal
meiaal whuii of our Dtslcic^on
