ALL FACTIONS To
UNITE IN WILSON
RALLY TONIGHT
Prominent Democrats to Wind
Up Campaign at Five Points.
Old Enemies Together.

Today is Wilson and Marshall day
throughout the state and Democracy
that has been pent up and subdued
since Grover Cleveland ran roughshod
over Republicanism in 1892 will be
turned loose at the rally at Five Points
tonight untamed and rampant
The music starts at 1880 o'clock.
The Donkey knows he is going to
win.
The committee in charge has decid-
ed upon a program Of ffve-minute
speeches. The speakers promise the
most peppery arguments why Wilson
and Marshall should be elected that
have ever been heard in these parts.
Not that there is any fear that Taft
or the Bull Moose has a chance to car
ry the state. The Georgia Democrats
know that Wilson and Marshall will
win next Tuesday, and they don't want
all the attention of the country on the
doubtful states.
Walter P. Andrews and Shelby Smith,
of the committee on arrangements,
have promised to hold down every
speaker to a five-minute talk. All who
have seen some Of the speakers on the
eve OF a state factional victory know
that it is going to be some job to get
them to retain themselves on the eve OF
the election of Democrat as president
Of the United States. But they have
given their promise.
1t is fearfully tantalizing when it Is
remembered that Democrats have not
had look In" on Federal jobs for ten
years.
But the Georgia Democrats have re-
manned loyal in the face of defeat
after defeat, which reveals whole lot
deeper motive than desire for Office
for their fidelity to Democracy.
Governor Joseph NJ. Brown will an
uounce the battle cry, "All Democrats
for Wilson and Marshall"
Then Reuben r. Arnold, who in for
mer days made Governor Brown the
target of his wit and ridicule, will sit
side by side with the governor and di-
rect his attacks on the common enemy
The speeches Of these two will be
more than worth the truble Of attend
ance.
But there will be another feature of
equal human interest. Robert F. Mad
dox and James G. Woodward will fol-
low each other with talks. But they
won't discuss the mayors office. They
will call for the biggest Democratic vote
Atlanta ever cast.
Judge George Hillyer, Robert 4.
Broyles. Murphey Gambler, ]. R. Smith,
and others will also speak
In the interims the band will play
and stereopticOn pictures and cartoons
bv The local cartoonists will be shown.
Eut the big sight will be the crowd.
Democrats Of Atlanta and Georgia nave
been trying TO rejoice over q party VIC
torv fo1. years. Their political spirits
nave run so high that party factions
have come 20 mean almost two par
ties.
But not SO tonight. There IS COM
mon enemy. Presaging the closing OF
stores and a general celebration on the
dav following the election. somewhere
between 10000 and 10000 Democrats
are expected to come down to Eve
POINTS tonight and cheer.
Though the Democratic platform does
NOT call for woman suffrage, the women
are especially invited and many thou
sands of them are expected.
Atlanta can't hatter herself that she
stands alone in this celebration To-
dav is Wilson and Marshall day all
nver Georgia and the whole United
States.
