from his youth up been loyal to his

THE DEMOCRATIC HOST IS SURE
OF VICTORY IF WE KEEP
FAITH IN THE FIGHT
Beware of the man who comes
a Democrat and begs you to betray
our party into the hands of the ene
my; for I say unto you he has gold in.
his pocket. The man who would go
against principle for wealth or favor
does not .deserve the confidence of
men. The one who can be purchased
with elegant or courteous treatment
or a small division of fees in an office.
has earned the contempt of all good
people. It -may be said out of sym
pathy we hould vote for this or the
other one, but what Republican, for
such reason, will vote for you. When
any Democrat makes this argument
against bis own household ask him
who signed that small note for him,
or furnish d him a few dollars lis
ten close In his clothes for its jingle
or possibly upon his breath is the
smell of strong drink; or such an one
may be mad. Follow him not as a
leader. If you do, the end thereof is
ruin. Don't be afraid to give a reason
for the faith that Is ,1a you. With
President Wilson at the head of the
Democratic hosts, leading the great
est industrial reforms in modern
times there Is no need to make any
apologies for our party.E lect the
Democratic nominees; stand by our
organization, for it will preserve the
l'berty of the people.

HUSTLING FOR BURROW
With the August election scarcely a
week off interest throughout the state
is extremely warm in the race for su
preme court. Judge 'Robert Burrow,
the Democratic nominee, Is making a
whirlwind campaign of the state dur
ing the last few days of the race. He
is making daily reports to Democratic
headquarters in Nashville and says
that the prospects for victory are good.
Demochatic headquarters In the Max.
well House is a busy place. Chair
man Hill and Secretary Harned- are
making the fight of their life to win
for Jrdge Burrow. They believe that
a victory for Burrow will mean the
success of the Democratic ticket In
November.
"We've got the votes to win," says
Jndge Hill, "and I believe August 6th
will find the Democratic rank and file
marching to the polls In support of
Judge Burrow. The enemy is doing
everything possible to defeat Judge
Burrow. The Hooper-Williams ma
chine is flooding the state with cam
paign literature and everything else
calculated to win an election. It be-
hooves, therefore, every Democrat to
take a stand. Go to the polls August
6th and devote one day to Democracy
and good Government."

H. D. McCULLEY
It would be a great thing if the vo
ters of this county would make a close
investigation as to the qualification of
all candidates for office and vote for
those only who are best qualified, re
gardless of what their political faith
m'ght be.
H. D. McfCulley is making the race
for Trustee upon the solicitation of a
great many of his friends and acquaint
ances) they believing that he Is well
qualified to fill this important office.
Upon investigation of Mr. McCulley's
past life we find that he is really well
prepared in every way to fill this office.
Through his own Industry and stlca
bility, be acquired a good education
and all who have had business deal
ings with him have found that he Is
congenial and accomodating, which Is
necessary for any man to have who ex
pects to hold public oeffle satisfactori
ly. Mr. McCuiley In his private and
public life Is well known for his In
tegrity, honest treatment and fair deal
ings. If elected to the ofllce of Trus
tee, Putnam county will, have a man
who is capable, honest and courteous,
the three qualifications absolutely nec
essary to make a satisfactory official.
