TELEGRAM STIRS
DEMOCRACY HERE
SAYS Cox Boom Spreading Easti Slim
ulant For Local Steering
Efforts.

Democratic hopes here were buoyed
to the nth degree on Wednesday upon
receipt by DR. l. l. Alexander of tele-
gram from Candidate James M Cox,
stating: Reports from National Head
quarters today add New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island to New Hampshire, as
eastern states we shall carry. This
means great ground swell has struck
east: and wonderful Democratic vic
tory in sight. ask and will appre-
ciate your unceasing efforts from
now until election day and unfailing
vigilance at the polls
Party leaders claim that a Demo-
cratic tide. has struck the east and
demolished the false barriers erected
by Republican propaganda and mon
ey.
Bob Bennett, Ed Bomar and Mrs
G 7 Morris of the county Democratic
steering committee are jubilant over
the stampeding majority that Henry
County promises for next Tuesday.
Democratic enthusiasm in the county
this week has scared high. All
speakings have been well attended.
Democratic spirit is said to be reign
ing supreme.
The final party home stretch will
be expended on the woman voters,
mainly in getting them to the polls.
Realizing that all elections are won
or lost in the district precincts, DEM
ocratic male voters will usher their
wives and mothers and sisters to the
polls. Several ladies over eighty
years of age have declared that they
will certainly go to the voting pre-
cincts next Tuesday and sustain the
solid South. Headquarters will run
cars to bring many of them to the
polls. The voting places will be as
safe and as quiet as the stores where
the women trade. Checking the
ballot will be made as easy as check
ing the laundry list on Monday morn
ing. Henry County Democratic
women will not fail in their duty on
November End.
Monday brought two of the fore
most party leaders of the state to
Paris. Gov Albert H Roberts, who
spoke to a crowded house on Monday
afternoon was affably received and
made his words tell on his audience.
He promised to uphold Democratic
ideals when returned as Democratic
governor of the state on November
End, and impressed his audience as
loyal Democrat and as sincere and
conscientious executive.
The address of Senator Kenneth
D McKellar here, on Monday night,
was, to many, the most interesting
campaign address yet heard. Having
of course been in the midst of the
bitter senate fight over the League
of Nations, which has been made the
football of this election, the senator
had first hand facts up his sleeve. He
gave these in a plain, straight-for-
ward maner, so wildly presenting
the peace, progress and prosperity
which the Democrats promise, so
aptly painting the horrors of war,
! and so tenderly appealing to the
mothers and fathers to carry on"
with their ballots the ideal for which
their sons fought and died, that he
brought tears to the eyes of many.
He upheld the League and plead for
its support at the polls next Tues
day. He appealed to the women to
go to the polls and vote, and predic-
ted an overwhelming Democratic vic
tory.
Captain Gordon Browning will be
heard here on Saturday. His big
majority in the August primaries as
sures him a constant welcome. Sew
eral other big speakers are scheduled
the final days before next Tuesday,
who will as Mr. Cox directed, expend
"unceasing efforts and unfailing vig-
lance" for the Democratic ticket
solid in this county.
