Възвание към селския народ в Варненския окръг (Appeal to the peasant people of the Varna district)
A full-sheet Bulgarian appeal 'to the peasant people in the Varna district' for the 19 February 1922 rural-municipal elections. Its bold lead paragraphs say a vote for the Agrarian Union is a vote 'for the salvation of the country', while a vote for other parties 'pours water into the mills of the pogromists and troublemakers' and prepares the rule of 'bloody wars, bribery, depravity, anarchy, madness, Bolshevism'.

Text on the object
ВЪЗВАНИЕ КЪМ СЕЛСКИЯ НАРОД В ВАРНЕНСКИЯ ОКРЪГ. Който селянин гласува в предстоящите селско-общински избори за Българския Земеделски Народен Съюз — гласува за себе си, гласува за спасението на страната. Който селянин гласува в предстоящите селско-общински избори за партиите — наливавода в водениците на погромаджиите и размирниците и подготвя техното господство — господството на кървавите войни, на рушветчилика, на разврат, на рушението на анархията, на безумията, на болшевизма. [body text in columns not transcribed] Нека всички дружно тръгнем по-хубавия прав път. Той е пътя на нашето спасение. Да живее господарството земеделско! Долу погромите и безумията! Победоносният марш на мощния Български Земеделски Народен Съюз не бива и не може никой да спре. Нека да олекне най-после на душата селяшка. гр. Варна, 1 февруарий 1922 год. Настоятелство на Варненската Окръжна Земеделска дружба: Председател: Андрей Добрев, от гр. Варна
APPEAL TO THE PEASANT PEOPLE IN THE VARNA DISTRICT. Any villager who votes in the coming rural-municipal elections for the Bulgarian Agrarian National Union votes for himself, votes for the salvation of the country. Any villager who votes in the coming rural-municipal elections for the [other] parties pours water into the mills of the pogromists and troublemakers and prepares their rule, the rule of bloody wars, of bribery, of depravity, of the ruin of anarchy, of madness, of Bolshevism. [body text in columns not transcribed] Let us all set out together on the better, straight road. It is the road of our salvation. Long live the agrarian state! Down with the pogroms and the madness! No one can or should stop the victorious march of the mighty Bulgarian Agrarian National Union. Let the peasant soul be relieved at last. City of Varna, 1 February 1922. Executive board of the Varna District Agrarian Society: Chairman: Andrey Dobrev, of the city of Varna
Partial: masthead, two lead paragraphs, closing slogans, dateline, first signatory. Body columns and other signatories omitted. Old orthography (yat, yus) normalised to modern Cyrillic. Uncertain at this resolution: 'наливавода' (may be two words) and 'на рушението' before 'анархията'; the sub-heading's last word may end in a hard sign.
