JUDGE CRISP URGES VOTES
FOR WILSON AND MARSHALL
hhGarSGS Arguments Of Democracy With Regard to Par,
amount Issue Of the Campaign, the Tariff Every
Democrat Should Vote Tuesday

The paramount issue before the Am
erican peop'e is the tariff. ANY law
which permits American Manufacture
ers to sell their goods in foreign mar
kets cheaper than they will sell their
goods to the great American
peop'e in American markets is unjust
in principle, inequitable in spirit and
un-American, and all patriotic citizens
who believe in square deal" should
ivote to prevent it by casting their
sballots for Gov. wilson on November
5th
Mr.. wilson is opposed to protective
tariff which makes it possible by law,
for the favored few (Tariff Barons) to
get wealth without earning it, which
the masses of our people earn without
getting. He favors taxing the people
Ionly for revenue to run the Govern
ment economically administered, and is
against all protection, which is purely
class legislat on. His sympathies are
with the toiling masses of our people
and not with the predatory wealth of
our Country He is progressive at
heart, trusts the people, and knows
they are capable of se'f government.
Fe is opposed to all political bosses,
whether they be Democrats or Repub-
licans, and has the manhood and cour-
age to fight them openly He is honest,
able, broadminded, clean in public and
private life, and patriotic and W II dis
charge the duties of President with
exact justice to all, with special priv
ileges to none" and will be true to the
principles of our party, as expressed
in the Baltimore Platform.
Mr. Taft should not be ected for
his sympathies are W tn the big In
trests." by their fruits We shall know
them" is the safest way to judge man
kind Mr.. Taft vetoed all remedial leg
islation passed the present Congress,
which would have saved the American
people $500 per capita or $500 to the
family If he should be reelected it
will be impossible to relieve the people
of any of the burdens of taxation VIII ch
is now crushing them. Mr.. Roosevelt
saws, Mr. Taft is receiver of stolen
goods, and therefore equally guilty
with the thief Mr.. Rooseve' has
known President Taft intimately, while
have not. | shall vote against Mr..
Taft
Mr.. Roosevelt should not be elected
because his seeming interest in the
masses of the people dates only from
the throwing of his hat n the ring"
He advocated no remedial legislation
during his seven and one half years as
President, when he had the power to
serve his fellow-man. l believe it dam
gerous to the perpetuity of our glor-
ious Republican form of Government to
put any man in the White House three
times, something Washington, Jeffer-
son and Jackson not get, and some
thing Grant could not get, even right
after the Civil war. Mr.. Taft says, Mr..
Roosevelt is fiatterer and demagogue,
and under the influence of the Interna-
tiona, Harvester Trust and J. Pierpont
Morgan & Co Remembering Mr. Roose-
velt's action while President in pre-
venting the prosecution of the Harv-
ester Trust. His permitting the q. s.
Steel Corporation (organ fed by Nor
GAM to absorb the Tennessee Coal &
Iron Company for almost nothing, in
direct violation of the Sherman Anti
trust law, considering the large con-
tributions made by high Officials of
said corporation to Mr.. Roosevelt's
campaign fund. l am not prepared to
dispute the president who was in Mr..
Roseye't's cabinet, but shall vote
against Mr.. Roosevelt for a third term
Under the law, Presidential Electors,
to be elected must receive majority
of all votes cast There are three tick
cts to be voted for, and if no ticket re-
ceives a majority of all votes cast, the
legis ature of Georgia will have to be
called in extra session to elect Electors,
which will entail much expense upon
the tax payers of Georg a. 1t is there
fore most important for all Georgia
Democrats to go to the polls on No
jyember 5th and vote for our peerless
standard bearer Gov Woodrow Wilson,
who is sure to be our next President.
