Democratic Voters of GIynn
County Are Urged to Support
Nominee in Election Next
Tuesday
Communication Approved BY a
Majority of Ciynn County
Executive Committee Issued
to Democrats Of the County.

County:
; The Fourth Senatorial District is
composed of the counties of GlynE,
Camden and Charlton, these coun-
les rotating in the selection of the
senator and under this plan it is Cam
lens time TO select the senaor. The
olan is to nominate these candidates
n the Democratic primary. In tho
Democratic primary election held in
Camden county on September 18th,
Mr.. J. T. Vocellc was nominated by n
majority of something like forty
totes over this opponent, Mr.. A. j..
lilies, as certified by the Democrats
executive Committee of that cour-
" Later Mr.. Vocelle was nominal
d by the Democratic Senatorial corr
gention, which assembled in Camden
ounty, and participated in by dele
rates in person OF by proxy from each
# the counties. Messrs. L. r. Akin
md M. B. McKinnon were the dele
rates from this county and they
Ient their written proxies to this
convention. If Mr.. Lilies, or any OF
he Democrats of Camden county who
we're opposing Mr.. VocelIe, desired to
contest the election it was their duty
% have made this contest, first before
he Democratic Executive Committee
of Camden county, and if unsuccess-i
full, then before the senatorial corr
yention. They did neither of these
hings. Later, some of these oppc-
,ents of Mr.. Vocelle induced MI.
charles S. Arrow to become car
Iidate as an independent against MI
Vocelle.
The Democratic Executive Commit
zee of this county has no concerr,
With the personal element entering
ITO the fight On Mr.. Vocelle, but of
,iCially represents the Democratic
party in this county and has Ger
lain duty to perform 20 the Democra-
ic organization and to the County
IF Glynn and the City of Brunswick.
There was published in the Bruins
wick News of October 26th three docu-
ments, one an official statement from.
he registrars of Comden county GER
flying that they had fully performed
choir duty in purging the registration
list, also an affidavit from Mr.. Clyde
e. McCarty, a member of the board
Of registrars showing that he had
urged Mr.. Lilies to have all dissatis-
fed persons to appear before the
'egistrars in connection with their
purging of the registration list, and
also an open letter from Dr. Burwe(l
Atkinson, one of the. best known
citizens of Camden county, stating
hat Mr.. Vocelle was regularly elect
I'd as the Democratic nominee for
senator from this district and APP
,ealing to all Democratic voters to
support him as such nominee. Both
Or. Atkinson and Mr.. Clyde L. Nc
Carly are well Known to many citi-
ems of this county. So much for the
regularity uf the nomiaauor as shown
by the Democratic officials of Cam
den county.
1t is very serious matter for
persons participating in a primary
election to repudiate the nominee Of
that primary and support an indie
pendent candidate. The white primary
system in Georgia, which is prac-
tically the same thing as the Demo
cratic primary system, has been the
political salvation of this state and
every intelligent person knows this.
The Georgia Legislature is composed
almost entirely of Democrats who are
regularly elected in Democratic nom
nations. 1t would, in our judgment,
be most serious mistake for any
number of the Democratic voters of
This county to repudiate Demo
cratic nomination for State office
and support on INDEPENDENT eandi-
date for such an office. The Dem
ocrats of Brunswick and Glynn coun-
ty and all the white people should
pause and seriously think before they
take any such action. We appeal to
you to reflect what our position
would be before the Democratic Geor-
gia Legislature for instance On any
matter vitality concerning the wei
fare of our, city and county. We can
but believe that those of our good
citizens who are opposing Mr.. Vo-
celle, the regular Democratic NOM
inee, have not stopped to consider
how disastrous the results might be
to our interest if their efforts should
succeed. Our Democratic voters
have just as much right from a par
ty standpoint to vote for Independent
candidates, if any there should be,
against Clifford Walker for governor,
Walter George for the U. S. senate
and j. j. Brown, for commissioner OF
agriculture, as they have to oppose
Mr.. Vocelle: for heSstate senate. If
Glynn county had a similar situatiele
to. deal with we would. have taken tie
regular course prescribed Shy Z the
party and carried the contest to the
properly constituted authorities, and
all those in Camden county who are
Dnlnocra+es On. who ,laY+fcinatetl il, be
