Made in Georgia by Independents.
An urgent appeal for funds for the
national democratic campaign has
come to Mr.. w. B. Parks, in charge
Of the work in Terrell county, and in
statement given to The News Mr..
Parks makes an earnest request that
citizens of this county who are inter-
ested in the triumph of the democratic
rarty at the polls on November 4th
make some contribution to the cause.
National headquarters have sent
81 forth an appeal to democrats through
Il out the length and breadth of the land
in these, the closing days, of the cam
paign" said Mr.. Parks. Additional
q funds must be had at once to carry on
& the fight. There can be no tagging IN
q the campaign at this stage, and the
n continuation of the activities in behalf
OF the democratic candidates must be
more zealously and unremittingly car
RED on in this crucial hour than ever
s. before 1t. takes money to do this and
y the democratic leaders are depending
B upon the rank and file of the party to
q help and not upon any great slush
fund from protected interests. Every
man and woman in Terrell county
who can do so ought to be glad to
NJ have a part, even though it be a small
one, in striving to bring about the
Triumph of the great democratic prln-
ciples for which John w. Davis
Stands"
al Mr.. Parks states that there has been
practical1y no response to the requests
De has heretofore made upon the peo-
BILE of the county for financial assist
4 ance. On the other hand number OF
surrounding counties have sent in sub
stantial contributions to state head
] quarters. He expresses the hope and
belief that the democrats of Terrell
county, who have always done their
part in the past, will not now tail and
FefuSe to respond to the urgent call OF
their party.
ANY contribution, no matter what
the size of it, will be acceptable and
will be placed at once in the hands OF
the campaign management. Every
dollar now will count vitality and it is
imperative that subscriptions should
be made Immediately. Either Mr..
Parks or Mr.. R. R. Marlin, who was
designated by the national campaign
committee to assist in the work IN this
section, will be glad to receive con-
trbutions to the cause.
APATHY is DANGEROUS.
There is danger that Georgia may
be compelled to call an extra session
81 the legislature to select electors
from this state because, according TO
eport, democratic leaders in the state
Ire making little effort to bring out a
large vote on November 4.
The opinion that the election is over
Nhen the primary has been held
increasing in Georgia, and at TINS
4 me it is menace to democratic sue
fess.
The democrats of Georgia seem to
Be unaware of the fact that candi-
ate for elector must get majority
p the entire vote cast in his own dis
arlct, to be chosen as member OF
he electoral college However, this is
he law, and it makes it necessary to
BRING out in each district a democratic
ote that will constitute a clear ma
orty over the votes cast for Presl,-
ent Coolidge, Senator LaFollette and
he several other candidates Tor the
Presidency.
The opinion that the danger OF the
xpense Of an extra session OF the leg
Stature confronts the state, unless TIT,
emocrats arouse themselves, is based
n the following section of the Geor-
pa code:
In the event all, or majority, OF
ne said electors may not have re-
eived majority the governor shall
communicate the fact to the genera
SSembly if in session, and if not ne
haIl issue his proclamation conven1ne
mem IN time to secure the vote OF the
tate N the electoral college. The gen
raj assembly shall, by joint ballot
lect As many electors as have not re-
eiVed said majority.
