WALL STREET MONEY
BACKS UNDERWOOD
GEORGIA CAMPAIGN
fcontinued from PAGE I.l

man for the purpose of defeating Wood
row Wilson who is the equal of any
man produced I'm public life in America
in 50 years.
THE combination campaign which is
centered in Georgia upon Underwood as
the candidate for the allied forces is
spending money most lavishly. This
money is being furnished through Sena-
tor Bankhead. and everybody knows
that his reputation is that Of being i'm
the United States senate. one of the
strongest representatives of the Uig in
terests.' There is no doubt in our minds
about the fact that the campaign of the
allied interests i'm Georgia is being
financed straight from Wall street. If
this is true. then their candidate. Mr..
Underwood, who is an able and delight
full gentleman personally. ,ought not to
receive the votes OF the plain people OF
Georgia, unless our voters I'm Georgia
honestly desire TO play into the hands
of Wall street
I'VE do not know or assert that the
three allied candidates are aware of
what is being done in their behalf, but
their supporters and ring leader" news
papers do not deny il and cannot deny
IL, and we challenge them openly and
boldly to disclose to the public the
sources OF their financial support We
is coming from the people Of Georgia,
but IL is being sent into Georgia from
outside sources for the purpose Of try
ing to deceive the voters Of the EN-
pire State Of the, South. Even if this
alliance should succeed in nominating
one OF their candidates for the presi-
dency at Baltimore. the voters of the
United States would snow him under
so deep that his name could never be
mentioned in public life.
SCHEMING POLITICIANS WILL LOSE
The time has come when the people
are going to take charge of their gov
eminent themselves. and even if schem-
ing politicians do succeed in nominating
their candidate. the people at the polls
will certainly assert their manhood by
ignominiounsly defeating him.
an the great state OF Kansas, which
!. adioins Missouri, and is largely made
ID OF Mfssourians, it is a strange thing
hat Oscar w. Underwood. the leader of
he house in congress, did not receive
single vote. and that Judge Harmon,
who had been twice elected by large
najorities as governor or Ohio. did not
receive a single vote. On the other
. and. il the Underwood organs and the
y Underwood headquarters in Georgis
can prevent it, there will not be a man
in Georgia to come forward and vote
for Governor Harmon or for Speaker
Clark for the Democratic nomination
in Georgia.
Governor Wilson's national head
quarters and his state headquarters
i lid not expect him TO carry the state
g Z Kansas, but the fact that he. prac-
u ically broke even against the combina-
a ion forces in Champ Clark's sister
tate. has given Woodrow Wilson's en-
4 mics cold chills. Let us ask the peo-
pie of Georgia to stop and think for a
moments Suppose, they should give ia
Mr.. Underwood a plurality of theil
Il. votes at the coming preference primary
I what assurance have they as to how
y these votes will be used at Baltimore
Y after the first ballot has been taken
PEOPLE MUST STOP AND THINK
I'VE call upon the people of Georgia
4 stop and think before they throw
way their suffrages upon a combina-
4 ion which they cannot solve.
Woodrow Wilson is a plain, UMPIRE
-entiOus, incompatible. splendidly
J squipped and unquestionably patriotic
american citizen. who stands for the
lest that is in our republic and who
