Vocelle had wha he stated was the

Witness J. F. Bailey, Jr..
Personally appeared before me, R.
T. PEOPLES, a person well known to
me, and an ordained minister of the
Gospel, of the Baptist faith, who,
after being duly sworn deposes as
follows: That on June 9th, 1922,
he appeared before the board of reg
istrars of this, Camden county, Geor-
Fgia, in pursuance of summons re-
ceived from said registrars, for the
purpose of showing cause why his
name should NOT be stricken from the
list of qualified voters, because of
non-payment of his taxes for 1921.
That he rendered as his excuse
that he had not been notified, and had
simply neglected to pay his taxes, but
that he had paid them within a few
days after receiving notice above re-
ferred to. He further swears that
Mr.. Louis Smith, a citizen Of Cam
den county, residing in the 18th
militia district, was present at the
time above referred to, for the same
purpose as himself, and that the ex-
cuse rendered by Mr.. Smith was that
he, Mr.. Smith, had not paid his taxes
for the reason that money was scarce,
and that, he felt that inasmuch as he
would be required to pay interest, In
addition to the amount of his delin-
quent taxes that it was all right, and
he bad received no notice up until
about ten days prior to that date, viz:
June 81, 1922.
He further swears that Mr.. James
7. Vocelle, then and now candidate
for the senate and from this the 4th
senatorial district was present at the
time, and that he proceeded to read
law to the registrars as to why he
and Mr.. Smith should not have their
names placed on list of qualified
voters.

1923.

lie, Georgia, state at large, Kings
land, Ga. My commission expires
April 80, 1924.
We do not claim that Mr.. Vocelle
acted illegally in these particular in
stances, but we do say he played
dirty politics, and these acknowledge
acts of his show clearly he was &c
ing to be nominated for senator no
matter how dirty the methods neces-
sary to bring about the nomination.
PARTY REGULARITY. aS
Having obtained his nomination by
fraudulent methods, flames 7. Vo-
|.celle is NOT THE NOMINEE OF
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
/ To keep the white primary pure,
and keep INSCRIPTIONS persons from
prostituting this essential institution
to crafty heir unholy political ambi-
tons, it is the duty of every true,
upright and conscientious Democrat
to go to he polls and REBUKE the
man who misuses the primary. By
your votes on November 7th, serve
notice on all who seek office that
if they go into the. white primary
and win by fair means, according to
the laws Of our state and the rules
promulgated by the Democratic par
.ty. then their; nomination y is eapival-'
Sent to an election, BIG if they, Or
their supporters Steal a nom. nation all
true Democrats, who have Tie Iedl
interests of the white primary and
the Democratci party at heart, ana
wan to see them preserved in power
and puriy, will rebtike such misuse
of the white primary, AMI if given
