partner, and entrusted him with the

cit is the duty of every patriot to set
his face squarely against this unholy
alliance which threatens, not only the
integrity of the Democratic party, but
the safety Of the state itself.
"Dorsey's swan song at Valdosta is

principles and traditions of our party,
nor in protest against the unholy COM

and the state.
1.-THE people of Georgia know where

state. ] believe that woodrow Wilson

who has led the nation since the Civil
war, and the candidate for Demo

saults Of any man or interest or COM
bination upon the party, is not entitled
to a nomination at the hands sOf the
Democrats of Georgia.
THE time has come again in Georgia
when the Democrats must present a sol.

party.
Let the Democrats of Georgia crush
this hydra-headed monster once and for
all, who brazenly in the public prints,
threatens to do violence to the tempo
rary head of the party unless the Dem
ocrats will submit to his dictation.
"Will the Democrats of Georgia sup
port for governor either man openly
aligned with this enemy Of the party
or one who is afraid or ashamed to re-
pudiate him?"
