CALL TO
DEMOCRATIC VOTERS
State Chairman Hall Shows
Up Republican Policy.

State Chairman Hall has issued an
address to the Democratic voters of
Georgia on the eve of the election,
drawing clearly the issues between
the Democratic and Republican par
ties. He says in part:
ITO the Democratic Voters of Geor-
gia:-The Presidential election is only
a few days hence. The importance of
the issues involved is a sufficient ex-
cuse for this address. My confidence
in the loyalty of Georgia democrats
encourages the hope that it will not
be fruitless. The issues between the
two great parties were never more
clearly drawn. A vote for Taft is an
endorsement of Republican principles
and policies; a vote for Bryan is an
endorsement of Democratic princi-
pies and policies. The platform of a
party represents its principles, while
its policies are manifested in the re-
cord it has made, in the enactment
and administration of the laws
1t is not amiss in this connection
to briefly summarize what Democrat
cy stands for, and what Republicanism
stands for.
Democracy stands for
Il An income tax, to the end that
large fortunes shall bear their just
proportion of the burdens necessary
to the support of the Federal Govern
ment
The Republican platform is silent
on this question, inasmuch as the
question of an income tax has been
for years an exigent issue it may
be assumed that the failure of the
Republican party to incorporate a
demand for such a tax in it's platform
is evidence of its opposition to it.
's2. The election of United States
Senators by direct vote of the people.
thus making it difficult if not inn
possible, for millionaires to control
the upper house of Congress.
The Republican platform is silent
on this question Great corporations
with immediate representatives in
the United tSates Senate, put there
through the power of money, have
controlled National legislation, and
throttled the voice of the people. The
Republican party has been the willing
recipient from these corporations of
huge campaign funds which it HAS
used to debaunch elections, purchase
political offices and entrench itself
in power. 1t is perfectly natural.
therefore, for the Republican party to
stand in opposition to the election of
United States Senators by the people

trOlled articles.

The Right OF Each State to Control its
Franchise Laws

This is in accordance with the
Constitution, and the pepole OF Geor-
gia have recently endorsed a disfran-
chisement law intended to safeguard
the ballot
When we remember reconstruc-
ton days, and what the Republican
party did for the intelligent white
people of this state, we are amazed
that any Georgian can be even luke
warm in his hostility to party that
flaunts afresh the negro plank in

Self Government for the Philippines
And Against imperialism

Anu Against AmpeFhIlSm
The Democratic party is opposed
to carrying the flag where the COLI
stitution cannot &C. 1t declares we
condemn the experiment in imperial
ism, as an inexcusabla blunder which
has involved us in an enormous ex-
pense. brought us weakness instead
of strength, and laid our nation open
to the charge of abandoning a fun
damental doctrine of self-goyernment I"
Lastly, in the words of Thomas
Jefferson, Democracy stands for
The support of State Gov
ernments in all their rights; as the
most competent administrations for
our domestic concerns and the sur
est bulwarks against anti-repubIican
tendencies; the preservation of the
General Government in its whole
constitutional vigor, as the sheet an
Choir of our peace at home and safety
abroad
The Republican party stands for a
strong centralized government, and
for policy destructive of the consti-
tutional rights of the states. The
supreme and paramount issue in this
election in the preservation of Cen
stitutional Government, and the Right
of the People to rule"

tive Committee.
