Do YOUR PART To.
HELP WILSON AND
THE PARTY WIN

This section of the state is slow
in responding to the urgent appeals
for financial aid in the Wilson cam
paign. Georgia is bulwark of dem
ocracy, and she should aid in the fight
of the party for reelection.
Wall street, with bushels of money,
is fighting Wilson, and to offset this
must come the spontaneous aid of the
Southerners and Georgians.
The women of Georgia have been re-
quested to aid-and it's a good cause.
Send your contribution to the Times
Recorder, who is acting for the local
committee and forwarding it to the ma
tional fund in New York.
Part of Women.
The following letter is from Mrs.
Emma T. Martin, chairman of the Wo-
mans Work for Woodrow Wilson'S
Campaign Fund for Georgia. It's foon
tor thought
Hon. John D. Walker, chairman
democratic national committee for
Georgia heartily endorses a Wilson
Day" throughout the state.
THE plan is this-to have in every
town of any size one general day on
which to sell Wilson buttons, and we
want one good active wsman in each
town to take charge of this work. she
to appoint her own helpers. Will you
act for us in your city and section? Ii
this is impossible, will you appoint
some one and have her write at once,
E.gnifying her willingness to cooperate
with us?
4" It is important that this work be
done and done promptly, if.Georgia is
to do her part in raising funds for the
national democratic campaign ex-
penses in the doubtful states. No en-
thusiastic democrat, no loyal Georgian
can sit idly by and not take part in
this work.
1t is the purpose of the campaign
committee to furnish the buttons,
sending them in time for "Wilson
Day the lady in charge giving the
buttons out to her helpers, who should
be supplied with a sealed box or
bucket with hole in the top through
which to drop the contributions, moth
ing less than 25c being taken in ex-
change for button--however all over
that amount will be gladly accepted.
Many will give large amounts.
"A prize will be offered to the girl
or woman raising the largest amount
of money. This prize will be some
thing worth working for. There may
be several prizes. These details WIFI
be announced later The main point is
to raise funds for Georgia's contribu-
tion to the Wilson campaign fund, to
woman's work for this fund, and every
woman in Georgia should be an en-
thusiastic worker.
If desired, 1870 of the fund raised
by you can be kept for your trouble,
given by you to your club work, or
allowed to remain in the Wilson fund
you to decide this.
Let me know 1T once if we can
count on you.
Mr. Wilson is the only man who
has occupied the presidential chair
since the civil war who has given the
South recognition in the councils of
!. the nation, the only man who has been
president of the entire people, the
only man to make democracy supreme
in our land. Will we see him defeat
ed? Certainly not! Then get busy
and help to re-elect him. He will be
defeated unless the masses stand by
him-the classes, the money powers,
arc against him.
please let me hear from you at
once, as it is important that all these
plans for Wilson Day" be perfect
ed at an early date"
