Headquarters of the State Democratic
Executive Committee.
Columbia, S. c., Sept. "a, 1904.
Dear Sir: The Democratic voters
Of our State have shown 50 much in.
difference in the past few years aoout
voting in the legal election that l feel
that it is very important that every
effort be made to get Them to register
and vote. The first Monday in Octo-
Der is the last day upon which they
can register and they should be urged
to come out and register and be pre-
pared to vote in the legal election to
be held on the Sth day OF November
therefore address this communica-
tion to you and ask that you use
every means in your power to get the
Democrats Of your county to register
on the first Monday in October.
The indications now a'e that the
Republicans OF this State will pat out
an electoral ticket and also candidate s
against all OF our congressional nomi-
nees. or course we eli know that the
cause OF this great indifference on the
part OF the voters is produced by the
prevailing feeling that the primary
elections settle the fate OF our candi.
dates, and that our party in this
State is invincible. We are invincble
if our people will register and vote
but not otherwise. In the first pri-
mary this year there were over lOG,-
900 votes cast and over 90, 900 in the
second primary. l trust, therefore,
that you will do all in your power to
get the Democrats Of yo,.r county to
register, and also to get your county
papers to urge it.
Yours very truly,
WILLIE JONES,
State Chairman.
