AN APPEAL To THE PARTY.
Mai G.. NJ Ryals, chairman Of the demo
/ cratic executive committee OF the First
district, has issued the following appeal 10
/ to voters in the district to 20 TO the polls on
election day and 10 support the democratic
ticket:
| To the Democratic and Conservative
Voters Of the First Congressional Dis
! tTict of Georgia:
! Ga Tuesday, Nov. 1, you will be called
upon 60 vote for one TO represent you for the
next two years in the House of representa-
! tives Of tue United States congress. This
! may be the last time that YOU will be per-
mittei to exercise this the highest privilege
and prerogative OF freeman IN fair, free,
| honest and untrammeled manner. Tbs
present congress may pass the federal cleo
ton bill, q measure infamous, oppressive,
| intended TO defraud the people Of the south
of their right, inherited from their fore
fathers, to vote for men of their own party
and choice under the regulations and laws
OF their state. Unless democratic House
of Representatives is chosen In November,
you Will see federal supervisors, managers
OF elections ard judges and soldiers con-
trolling our polls and counting in our enc
mics instead Of our friends, who will be
really the receivers of a majority Of the
votes
The only way TO check the inroads of
radical power is to elect, by an overwhelm-
ing majority, enough democrats to control
the next House Of Representatives Let
this chance slip from us and In my opinion
the last hope of a perpetuation OF free con-
stl utional government In this country is
gone forever. The crisis is upon US.
Radical rule Is ruin. utter ruin to US, to
the Liberties and rights of the people and 10
the domestic pesce and tranquility of our
section. The present administration seems
to regard southern white men as having no
rights under this government. They are
overriding all law and all the forms of con-
stituhonal precedent They mean to de-
grade US. We are not walked up to a real
izatien of the dreadful situation we shall
fnG ourselves placed in if we are to have
radica rule again.
The issue is made up in this section. The
Democratic party is the party of law.
order, deceuoy and responsibility Its sue
cess is for the general good its defeat is full
OF evil TO all Tbs Democratic party has
protected the rights Of all, without regard
to race, color or nationality. The Repub-
hcan arty seeks to degrade every white or
black democrat, for that, and TO rule us by
class Of people utterly unft to dictate to
US on political or any questions. We are
to-day In great danger of losing what liber-
ties we enjoy. II every democrat will lay
aside his business for one day and 90 to the
polls, will make it his business, as it is his
bounden duty, not only TO go himself but
to urge bis friends to do the same, we shall
have such an overwhelming victory that
we cannot be counted out. If we elect our
candidate by a small majority on some pre-
text or another they will count him out.
You certainly do not wish to be represented
in congress by a republican.
Do You wish this district to have its vote
cast for the federal election billl For all
these laws are in favor of trusts and monop-
olies, and against every interest of the
farmers and workingmen, the wags-earners
OF the country. know you do not. Then,
my countrymen and brother democrats
listen to me, and take to heart personally
every one OF you, my urgent appeal to work
from now until the day of the election for
Rufus E. Lester, the democratic nominee.
You all know him. He is a man of the
people. Without influential friends and
backing, he has won his way to where he ia
by energy, ability, honesty and fearless adj
vocacy OF the best interests OF the party and
the people. In the legislature, as president
Of the Senate. in the halls of congress, he
has been faithful, able, true. a plain, IN
assuming man, a man of the people, dem
ocrat of democrats who has never faltered
or hesitated when his party and his people
have needed him. He is worthy of the CON
ndence and the support Of every true man
in the district. Let us all work and coun.
sci together for his triumphant election,
and let there be no laggard or lukewarm
democrat among US. G. NJ. RIVALS.
Chairman Democratic Executive Commit
tee, First Congressional District.
