to Democrats of the County.
To the Democratic Voters of Glyna
County:
The Fourth Senatorial District is
composed Of the counties of Glynr,
Camden and Charlton. these coury-
ties rotating in the selection of tie
senator and under this plan it is Cam
denis time to select the senaor. The
plan is to nominate these candidates
in the Democratic primary. In the
Democratic primary election held in
Camden county on September 18th,
Mr.. J. T. Vocelle was nominated by =
majority of something like forty
votes over this opponent, Mr.. "A. j
Lilies, as certified by the Democratic
Executive Committee of that cour-
ty. Later Mr.. Vocelle was nominal
ed by the Democratic Senatorial corr
vention, which assembled in Camden
county, and participated in by. dele
gates in person or by proxy from each
of the counties Messrs. L. R. Akin
and M. B. McKinnon were the dele
gates from this county and they
sent their written proxies to this
convention If Mr.. Lilies, or any of
the Democrats of Camden county who
were opposing Mr.. Vocelle, desired to
contest the election it was their duty
to have made this contest, first before
he Democratic Executive Committee
of Camden county, and if unsuccess-
full, then before the senatorial cor
ventibn. They did neither of these
things. Later, some of these oppc-
nents of Mr., Vocelle induced MI.
Charles S. Arrow to become cape
didate as an independent against MI.
Vocelle.
The Democratic Executive Commit
tee of this county has no concert
with the personal element entering
into the fight On Mr.. Vocelle, but of
fioially represents the Democratic
party in this county and has a GER
tain duty to perform to the Democra-
tic organization and to the County
of 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
the registrars of Comden county GER
tifying that they had fully performed
their duty in purging the registration
list, also an affidavit from Mr.. Clyde
L. McCarty, a member of the board
of registrars showing that he had
urged Mr.. Lilies to have all dissatis-
fled persons to appear before the
registrars in connection with their
purging of the registration list and
also an open letter from Dr.. Burweu
Atkinson, one of the, best known
citizens of Camden county, stating
that Mr.. Vocelle was regularly elect
ed as the Democratic nominee for
senator from this district and APP
pealing to all democratic voters to
support him Aas such nominee. Both
DR. Atkinson and Mr.. Clyde L. Nc
Carly are we'll known to many citi-
gems of this county. So much for the
regularity Of the nomi1aoon as shown
BY the Democratic officials of Cam
den county.
1t is a 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. It would, in our Judgment,
be most serious mistake for any
number of the Democratic voters of
this county to repudiate a Demo
cratic nomination for a State office
and support on Independent dandl-
date for such an office. The Dem
ccrats 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 NO consider
how disastrous the results might be
to our interest if their efforts should
succeed. Our Democratic voters
have just as much right from 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 the state senate. If
glynn county had similar situation
to deal with we would have taken fthe
sregnlals course prescribed by the
party and carried the contest toSthe
PROPERLY constituted authorities, and
all those in Camden county who are
