GEY TO WORK,
DEMOCRATS!
The Campaign from Now
Until November 8
WILL BE PUSHED VIGOROUSLY.
Working Committee Appointed for Every
District, and Appointments for Speak
ing Made-MeetiDg of Democratic EX-
ecutive Committee.
Get to work, Democrats!

Get to work, Democrats!
That is now the battle cry of every |
good Democrat who has the welfare
of his party at heart, and from now
until the eighth of November the |
campaign will be pushed with that
aggressiveness born Of determina-
tion that will dispel all apathy ex-
isting In the ranks of the party and
roll up handsome majority for
Benton McMillin and the other
Democratic nominees on election
day.
Ii was for the purpose of etfecting a
thorough organization and getting
the party in good working order that
the Democratic Executive Com.
mittee was called to meet IN the
Circuit Court room last Monday.
Chairman N. B. Cheairs called the
meeting to order and stated the
purpose for which the committee
men had been called together.
Congressman N. n. Cox, who was
in attendance, was requested to ad-
dress the meeting and offer any sug-
gestions which he might think
would advance the interests of the
party. Col. Cox had no doubt that
the legislative and Congressional
tickets would be elected, but it was
plainly evident that great apathy
| existed amo.g the Democrats
throughout the State, while the Re-
publicans were thoroughly organ
lied and working earnestly but
quietly to beat the Democratic
nominee for Governor. Upon this
apathy the Republicans were stak-
ing the success of Fowler on Novem-
Der 8, and unless every Democrat in
Middle and West Tennessee went to
the polls and cast his vote for Ben
ton McMillin, the Republicans
would bring majority from across
the mountains that would be hard
for us to overbalance. Col. Cox sug-
gested that a house-to- house can
vass be inaugurated in each district,
and that 1t be impressed upon every
, individual the Importance OF his be-
ing at the, polls and casting his bal
lot for the nominees.
