GEORGIA DEMOCRATS

ACTIVITY OF REPUBLICANS
MAKES NECESSARY FOR DEM.
ocRATS TO RALLY TO POLLS

Atlanta, Oct. 24.-Everybody in
Georgia thought the state had thresh-
ed out its politics and got through
with them last summer, when the crops
were laid by and the people had moth
ing else to do but now the Republi-
and are ready to run amuck like a
herd of crazy cattle. Otherwise 1t

maintaining state headquarters and go
ing to the expense of printing ballots
and paying all the other incidentals
connected with state wide campaign
William j. Harris is the nominee
of the Democratic party Of Georgia
for the United States Senate. Every
Democrat who voted in the primary
is bound to support him in the gen
eral election. Thomas w. Hardwick
gave out a statement on the day after
the election that he would support Mr..
Harris. William Schley Howard did
the same If the democrats of Geor-
gia go to sleep and let the Republi-
cans, consisting mainly of negroes,
do all the voting, they are liable to
have their supremacy knocked into
a cooked hat. The best way to make
this impossible is by going to the
polls and voting for the Democratic
nominee, all the way down the ticket.
cans have taken a notion to stir up
something, or at least try to stir up
something, by putting out several can
didates in the general election to be
held November 5, including a candi-
date for the United States Senate.
Of course the only possibility, if
indeed it could be called possibility,
of electing a republican senator would
be for about half the white democrats
of Georgia to bolt the primary and
ioin with the negroes of the G. o. P.
and their few white brethren. That
such thing is likely to happen is
about as remote as Foch's surrender
to the Hun.
Nevertheless, the republicans have

Amsterdam, Sept. S0.-Irretriev-

Germans in the forests of Poland, as

German governor has confiscated one
third of the forest lands within his

LAW TO PREVENT
FAILURE OF BANKS.
If CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND
MENT is RATIFIED, GEoRGlANs
WILL HAVE DEPOSITS BETTER
PROTECTED.

Atlanta, Oct. 24.-Did you ever lose
any money through bank failure?
Was it state bank Would you like
to feel safer concerning your deposits
in state bank?
These are not idle or impertinept
questions, nor do they mean to cast
any reflection whatever upon state
banks. They are questions which 5
have bearing upon a constitutional
amendment to be ratified or rejected
by the people of Georgia on Novem-
Der g. The title of this amendment
reads as follows: qu4l
"ro amend Paragraph 2, Section 2,
Article 5, of the Constitution fixing the
State Treasurer's salary and the cleri-
cal expenses of his office"
| This does not sound as if it had any
thing to do with money on deposit in
state banks, but it does. The eXami-
nation of state banks is now part of
the duty of the state treasurer, He
is 50 busy attending to the funds of
the state as treasurer, that he has
very little time to look after the banks
The legislature would like to make
the examining of banks the particu-
lar business of one particular indi-
vidual official who had nothing else
loaded on him. But the Constitution
says that bank examinations shall be
made by the state treasurer. Hence
the constitution must be amended be-
fore the legislature can provide a me-
thod of state bank examinations that
will lreally amount to something.
If the people ratify the amendment
as above entetitled when they cast
their ballots in the general election
November 5, the legislature will be
authorized to provide for a genuine
system of state bank examinations,
! by creating department for that pur-
pose The banks themselves will pay
the cost of operation, SO that there
will be no expense on the people.

ATLANTA, Oct, 24,-Reports being re-
