Is it not conceded, and has il not been con

As Vice-President Marshall has said.

globe is our country" And should not the
Democratic party and all its members and
all patriots take special pride in gratefully
acknowledging to President Wilson their
appreciation of his great and successful
efforts by enlistine. with all their energy
and help. in this campaign to give him
splendid support and reelection to the
Presidency.
The President is very much interested,
of course. in the election to the United
States Senate from this State of the Demo-
cratic candidate, Hon. David j. Lewis,
who has made such splendid represen-
tative in the halls of Congress- The Presi-
dent. of course, is also very much inter
ested in the success of the Democratic
nominee for Congress from this district,
the Hon. H. Dorsey Etchison.
There is every encouraging sign of the
success of the whole ticket if proper work
is done in getting our vote registered and
getting it out to the polls on election day
| would suggest to the Democratic State
Central Committee and to the County Com
mittee, which committees have the re-
sponsibiity for the management of this
campaign, that they write to every Demo-
cratic automobile owner who is interested
in the election, as well as every other au-
tomobile owner who may be interested, to
spend day or two with their automobiles
in aiding and assisting their less fortunate
neighbors, who desire the election of the
Democratic ticket. to the registration office
and to the election polls on election day.
Nothing will aid more toward the sue
cess Of this ticket than by the Democratic
party, as a whole, taking an interest in
this campaign and voluntarily doing all in
its power to roll up great majority on
election day. We owe it to President
Wilson, and we owe it to ourselves and to
the whole Democratic ticket, and trust
and believe that this support will be forth
coming from a grateful party and from
grateful people.
DEMOCRAT.
