The lines warn that land and wealth thrive while rulers rise and fall. A single swift change, a breath, can topple princes and lords who flourish today. Only a bold peasantry, once destroyed, can never be replaced, preserving the nation’s pride.

Women and the November Elections Voting Rules

The notice explains voting eligibility for men and women twenty one or older who hold a poll tax receipt from 1919. It details how to obtain a 1919 poll tax receipt and where to vote, and notes the November election includes the presidential race state offices and the Educational Amendment. It mentions party ballots, mixed tickets, and methods to strike nonselected candidates, naming Governor candidates Quibertson, McGregor, and Neff.
