Ballot Before Business For SIaton
Governor elect Jonn VI. Sla.on has
postponed an important business en-
gagemeut in New York to remain here
and vote for Woodrow Wilson tonor-
row.
United States Senators 4. o. Bacon
ana Hoke Smith, who have been in the
East for some weeks, will both come all
the way from New York just 10 cast
their ballots. Other prominent Georgia
leaders have made their arrangements
to fit in with the election, so that they
could go to the polls on Tuesday.
Here are some OF the expressions
from well known Georgia Democratic
leaders relative to the national election:
Sovernor Joseph NJ. Brown-"This is,
in my opinion, a Democratic year and
Georgia, the leading state of the South
must maintain her merited ascendaucy
in Democratic councils, and by no
means therefore, should she fail to
give sweeping majority for Wilson
and Marshall"
Our Opportunity" Says Hoke Smith.
United States Senator Hoke smith
This is our one opportunity. Taft and
Roosevelt with their allies, Aldrlch and
Cannon and Perkins. have split the Re
publican party In two A ereae victory
is In front Of us, and beg every Demo-
.crat in our beloved state of Georgia to
vote and to get his neighbour to vote
and thus become a part OF our victory"
United States Senator a. @. Bacon
when the gratifying result is an
nounced and there dawus for us the
new political day. it will he intensely
gratifying to Georgians To note when
they compare the votes, that this state
has not been laggagd, but has stood in
the forefront OF the victors."
Governor-e)ect John NJ. Slaton-
Every Georgian who stays away from
the polls Tuesday or casts his vote
against Woodrow Wilson, but lessons
the influence OF Georgia In national af-
fairs and retards her recognition as Il
leader in the sisterhood of states. Will
son will be elected, anyway. The
chances are more than two TO one in his
favor. Why should we embarrass our
representatives in congress by giving a
lame majority to a man who represents
that party which rescued us from the
horrors OF reconstruction and who per-
sonaly is bound to our people by every
human bond? ! do not believe they
will do it
"Now the Time" Says Howell.
National Committeeman Clark How
ell-"If there ever was time when a
Democrat ought TO vote, It IS now-not
merely because he Is voting for the par-
.ty nominee. but for the more essential
reason that he is voting for the very
thing the Democrats of the South have
been fighting for all their lives, and
with "a better chance of getting II than
they have ever had before. The Demo-
cr9 tic party is going To win hy the big
gest majority on record. think a dozen
states divided between Roosevelt and
Taft is an exceedingly liberal allow
.anCe out Of the as"
State Chairman W. J Harris-"We
have endeavo-ed through the mails and
the press and by personal appeal 70
reach every Democrat IN Georgia and
90 urge them TO 60 20 the polls and vote
Tuesday. We hope and believe these
appeals have Rad effect. II they have.
