TO THE VOTERS
 OF THE SOUTH
The Salvation of the South ern People is in the Demo-
 cratic Party.

We want to say a word to the people of Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama, and every other Democratic State. For the last five years there has been a persistent effort to cut down Southern representation from the South in congress.
 We poll bigger votes in pri- maries than we do in general elections.
 The Republicans do not con- slider the fact that a nomination is equal to an election in the South, and when there is a light vote they charge that votes are suppressed and that if the South ern Democrats will not stop sup pressing votes their representa- tion should be cut down to the actual number of votes cast.
 The future and the hope of the Democracy is in the South.
 The salvation of the Southern people is in the Democratic party.
 It is the duty of every South ern white Democrat to cast ms vote in the November election. No matter if your congressman has no opposition. every Demo, crat sh ould vote for him and Bryan. ,,:;
 Every white man in Mississippi should vote and every white man in Tennessee, Arkansas and Ala bsma should vote.
 We may have more to say on this question later. bu t we urge every Democrat to take warning and begin work, resolve to cast his owp vote and to see to 1t that his neighbor votes. - Commerclal Appeal.

selection OF Senator Burrows to pre-

strong Roosevelt supporters, prior to
the meeting Of the committee. The se-
lection of Mr.. Burrows came as q
shock. He has never been anything
of an administration supporter and
only accepted Secretary Taft as a cam
didate after the Michigan State Con-
vention declared for the Secretary OF
War. An even more signal victory
for the administration and anti
Taft people was the selection Of John
r. Malloy. as sccrs:ary rs the conVm-
ton. Malloy has been Senator For-
aker's manager In Ohio. ana is an lrre-
concilable anti-Taft man These strong
evidences OF the anti-Taft sentiment
of the committee make 1t appear rather
gloomy for the Taft supporters, in
view Of the fact that such large
number of contests will have to be
decided by the committee.
