Suicidal to Swap.

l am firmly convinced that it is the
duty of every loyal citizen to go. to the
election and cast his vote to sustain
President Wilson in his position as the
leading figure of the world.
The Republican leaders are making
desperate effort to capture majority of
the Congress. The effect of this will be
to discredit him in the minds of the
enemy and to lessen his influence when
the peace terms come to be discussed
for they will think that to some extent
at least his own people have repudiated
him: that the President and the American
people do not speak the same language
of agreement"
| am not SO concerned about local
politics, although the Democracy could
Justify its right to the continued confidence
of the people if they could have chance
to meet them. But / am convinced that
it is the duty of everv citizen to so to the
polls and vote for Lee Robinson for
Congress, thereby casting vote to MAKE
more effective ,the world peace now about
to be won by our boys. Now when VIC
tory is within our reach and the great
world problems come up for settlement,
it is simply suicidal to swap horses in
the middle of the stream" A vote for
Robinson is vote for our Country!

Don't Fail to Vote.

The legal right to vote involves re.
sponsibility To neglect to meet that
responsibility is to prove recreant to a
plain duty and is an acknowledgment OF
unftness. Every qualified voter should
measure to the duty of citizenship.
There are two especially urgent reasons
for voting next Tuesday:
/ The influence of America in bring
ing about just and lasting peace will
depend largely upon the way the people
of Europe interpret the loyalty of our
people to our government as at present
constituted. Whatever you may think
of the propriety of the Presidents appeal,
or the asininity of former Presidents
attack on his policies, the people of other
countries would construe the election Of
the opposition party as REPUTATION
of his Administration! This would be
disastrously unfortunate under present
critical conditions Even reduced ma.
jority of his party in Congress would be
embarrassing.
2 We are to vote on an Amendment
to the State Constitution that provides
for minimum school term of six months
There are some children who will not be
able to avail themselves of the advanta
ges of the longer term, BUT THERE
WILL BE MANY WHO CAN, and their
future and the future good of the State
may depend on their getting it. IT thi:
Amendment is not carried, don't let the
responsibility of its failure rest on YOU.

An Urgent Duty.

Winning the war is the chief business
before the people of this nation to-day.
Anything that tends toward the consum-
nation of this one object should have the
earnest consideration of each citizen. On
November 5tt'' next, each qualified voter
of Richmond County will have the oppor-
tunity of recording his approval of and
loyalty to our great President, the worlds S
spokesman and leader, by casting his bal
lot for Senator Simmons and Congress-
man Robinson, who have nobly stood by
the President and who have directed their
every effort towards winning the wrr.
Despite the influenza epidemic and the
apparent lull in politics incident to the
campaigns of the several war acti-
vities, the Democrats of the county must
not conceive the idea that this year is
unimportant in politics, and fail to vote.
The Republicans would sing their siren
song of indifference and inactivity to the
stay-at.home Democrats, with the hope
that thereby enough Democrats will fail
to vote as to reduce Robinson's and the
county tickets majorities. The Republi-
cans like nothing quite so we'll as the
gumshoe method of campaign.
It is, therefore, the urgent duty that
every Democrat owes to himself, to his
party and to his country to go to the polls
on next Tuesday and give his endorse
ment to his party through its ticket, from
Senator Simmons down to township con-
stable. Hasn't your President with a
Democratic Congress conducted the
affairs of the government to the advan'
tage and glory of our country, and ulti'
mately to the defeat and overthrow of the
Huns? Hasn't your state administrators
been clean, honest and constructive!
Haven't your county affairs been ad
ministered by upright and unimpeachable
officers?

What Mckinley Said.

Here's what President William
Mckinley had to say Oct. 18th,
1893, while on a political speaking
tour:
eve must continue united
until the end of this struggle;
we must have no differences
among ourselves while we are
settling our differences with
another government"
Listen to what he said in anoth.
er speech:
This is no time for divided
councils. Remember in this crit
ical hour in the nations history
we must not be divided"
If it was all right for a Repub'
lican President to make a plea
for a unified Congress in 1898
why isn't it all right for
Democratic President to make
the same plea in 1918?

"A House Divided"

"A house divided against itself cannot
stand" 1t will be serious mistahe, in
my opinion, if we should allow the Re-
publicans to capture Congress next Tues
day We have strong Democratic Pres
ident. Let's support him with strong
Democratic Congress. 1t means more to
the United States, and to the world, than
you might think. The entire world is
now looking to President Woodrow Will
son as the end of the great world war
approaches. What pity it would be to
tie his hands by sending Republican
Congress to support him! Men of Rich.
mond County, make it your duty to GO
to the polls next Tuesday and vote the
straight Democratic ticket.

Large MajorityNext Tuesday.

Under our form of government, we
have no autocrats. The President can
not declare war. This is done by Con-
gress who are the representatives of the
eoole. The President gets his support
f ON Congress which is from the people.
He now asks that the country show that
they are in accord with his policies by
sending Democratic Congress to Wash
ington by our votes next Tuesday. am
in thorough accord with the Presidents
policies and shall gladly cast my vote
next Tuesday for Senator Simmons and
Congressman Robinson who are standing
loyalty behind cur President. think
the President would be delighted to know
that Richmond County had responded to
his appeal by giving the straight Demo-
cratic ticket one of its largest majorities
next Tuesday, and trust it will be done

A Good Ticket.

A great many of the voters Of Rich
mond County this year are in camps and
in France. Our County Democratic tick
ct should not be allowed to suffer by
reason of their absence. 1t will not if
every Democrat in Richmond County will
make personal matter to attend the
polls on next Tuesday. Not only should
he 60 himself but he should be just as in
terested in seeing that his neighbors go
and vote.
We have splendid ticket and it should
be heartily supported. In addition to
our splendid County ticket. would like
to see this County give Senator Simmons
and Congressman L. D. Robinson big
majority and thus show to the world that
we are behind our President.

Esteem 1t a Privilege.

1t seems to me that every citizen Of
Richmond County should esteem it a
privilege to support President Wilson and
his administration. BY his diplomacy,
ably supported by our military forces,
President Wilson has brought the proud
and naughty German to his knees seek
ing peace. In my opinion it would be a
very foolish thing for the American peo-
pie to fail to return to Congress men who
will whole-heartedly support President
Wilson and his policies. He has asked
that we elect Democratic Congress and
| hope Richmond County will register
next Tuesday the largest Democratic
vote in its history.

Republicans Spending Money

Why are the Republicans spending so
much on this election? There is some
reason behind it. In Michigan the Re-
publican nominee for the Senate spent
$178,OOO for his office. 1t has already
been reported from Washington that the
Republican Campaign Committee has
sent $4,000 to this State and last week
sent an additional $4,000. They only
hope to make a serious fight in the 3rd,
9Th and 10th Congressional Districts.
Let's show them that the 7th District
is going to return Congressman Robinson
by larger majority than he received two
years ago, Notwithstanding the boys who
are absent.

Expressions Of Approval
Straight Democratic Vote.

President Wilson has asked that the
country elect Democratic Congress next
Tuesday. While some of the Republi-
cans have loyalty supported our President
yet | believe we should undertake to
comply with our Presidents wishes and
send an overwhelming majority to Wash
ington. Richmond County can show the
world that we are behind our great Pres
ident by casting the largest straight Dem
ocratie vote next Tuesday in its history.

Senator to Constable.

Events in the foreign countries are
moving rapidly. 1t now looks as if peace
may soon be established thruout the
fighting world. Our allies look to Presi-
dent Wilson each day as spokesman in
this great crisis. The President gets
strength from solid support. Wecan help
him so much if we send to Washington
an overwhelming Democratic Congress to
sustain him. sincerely trust that the
citizenship of Richmond County will res
pond to the Presidents appeal for support
by giving Senator Simmons and Con-
gresham Robinson big vote next Tues
day. Let every man 60 to the polls next
Tuesday and cast solid Democratic vote
from Senator to Township Constable.

Would Germany Rejoice?

The whole world is today looking to
Woodrow Wilson to dictate the terms of
an enduring peace. But if the American
people do not stand squarely behind him,
his arm will be shortened. Germany
would rejoice if the people would, on
next Tuesday, turn down the Congress
that declared war against them. There
fore, think it behooves the good people
of Richmond County to be sure and &c
to the polls next Tuesday and cast solid
Democratic vote.
