Hoke = O'Kelley . of* Loganville opened his campaign yesterday with:a speech .at Monroe, ‘advocat ine recognition of the Russian gov enmént by the United States for economic reasons and to produce gtability in Asia. Woman Candidzate Mrs. McDonald, who «]és('l‘ihm‘. herself as a = successful woman awver, whose ancestors on one gide were hard-fighting Virginia gock and on 'the other side =of South. Carolina —aristocracy, out lined her platform 'to a group of Atrenians gathered to hear her gpeak, and alternately flattered the men for their *“keen '‘minds and trawn” and extolled women, urg ing that they be given opportunity to serve their nation. ; In discussing her ancestry the candidate told of an incident ‘n the life of one of her pioneer forbears. 2 woman, who was atfacked one day by the Indians and who saved her two sons by hiding one under a potato hill and the other under a wash pot, meanwhile firing upon the ambushers. < Oh" anether oc casion the same woman scalded two Indians when they attempted entrance into her house by the chimney route. They fell into a cauldron of bolling water, set there for the purpose. HFer mother, M's. McDonald said, -is seventy ea of age, but still of vig. rous mentality and spirit. She is 8 foymer regent of the D. A R and head of the U. D. 'C. Bonus Payment Mrs. McDonald declared she has slvays been a champion of wom n's rights, asserting she was au t of the bill providing co-edu tation at the University of Georgia and also drafted the bill which per mitted women to practice law in Georgia. “I am a dirt farmer as Wwell as a successful lawyer,” she declared, in espousing a program of relief for the farmer, “the back bone of the nation.” Advocating payment of the vet fran’s bonus in cash, Mrs. McDon ad said the money collected from Buropean nations on war debts tould be used for that purpose. Unless the bonus is paid before tie adjusted service compensation tertificates become due, she said, e interest will have eaten up the Pincipal left when the government ‘aned up to fifty per cent of the fice value of the policy. Mrs. McDonald declared her al legiance to President Roosevelt, sserting if she is elected to con &ess she will “back him to the . In advocating repeal of the Yy amendment, she said the con “lons under the amendment have %come intolerable. “When there :":7" barrooms you Iknew where quor was to be bought, now it is ‘erywhere, In the barroom days U law prohibited men under 18 '’ entering theijr doors, but now , L and girls drink white corn LllOO, in their homes and in road -ouses, hecause prohibition has e such doings smart”. : | lidate _said she . favors F i slation to take care of - 'Mtcrests of Jabor and the ‘ CONGDON HERE L t was right when he ' in ns that Harris’ power 1 f x'iu""_ Congdon raid. oe ive Cartledge, himself for congress, one of .

Finally, will the Board of Regents enlighten us on this point: With the course of instruction at the Coordinate Junior Woman's Cellege (old Teachers’ College) identical with that offered at Car rolton, "Americus, Douglas and Cochran, just why was it deemed nececsary to place what appears to be a financial handicap on the girl coming to’the Athens institution by exacting a tuition fee of $122.50 a year whercas we are informed she may enroll at either one of the other places forr $36.00 per year and, after two years, come to the University proper with the same credits she would have earned, had she been enrolled at the Coordinate Junior College? Frankly, we cannot comprehend just why the Board of Regents feels it chould exact a fee at the Coordinate Junior College that amounts to ncarly four times as much as ,that assessed at the ctate’s other junior colleges that offer identfcal courses. Moreover, at Milledgeville and Valdosta—Senior colleges with four year courses and the authority to issue degrees—the fee is only $54.00 per year. 5 Such inequality in fees is indeed puzzling. Whether it is de fensible or not remains to be seen. We shall indulge the hope that, when the Board of Regents reveals its motives together with the benefits it anticipates as a result of the many far-reaching changes ordered in the University system, we will have sufficient comprehencion to grasp the full significance of the program, At the momcnt, though, we have to accept the striking new set-up solely on faith, And, frankly, our faith has sustained somewhat of a jolt. ‘know that the power question is not the principal issue in this campaign, I be.ieve that the power companies llaV(\ done rfome very foolish, and some very improper things, but the Roosevelt adminis tration is already taking steps to correct such evile, “Whenever the power companies Or any other . utilities, or quasi publie utilities run counter to the interests of the public, I believe the gevernment should step in and stop them. But this thing of in jecting the power question inte every campaign, from bailiff te congress is ridiculous, Harris re fers very mysteriously to a certain candidate near Athens being the power company candidate. Why be so mysterious? There are se veral candidates in the Athens section running for congress. If Harris is such a saviour of the people why shouldn't he name the candidate who is the hand-picked choice of the power company if thel‘p is any such candidate. The way Harris has left it, he might be any one of several candidates. “Candidates Cartledge and Har ris both declare they are support ing the Roosevelt program. If so why does F arris favor making the ‘Sherman Anti-Trust laws effec tive’ as he advocated in his Ath ens speech, Does Harris not know that under the provisions of the Roosevelt Industrial Recovery Act, the Sherman Anti-Trust laws are suspended for-two years? Is Har ris sincere in opposing the sus pension of the Sherman Anti- Trust laws, as he implies in his Athens speech? If so, will he ad vocate such steps if electéd to con gress? Will he go to congress pledged to attack the underlying principle of the industrial ‘recov ery measure? Does Harris not know that the grouping of indus tries into trade associations, to prevent competition, and ‘thus making it possible, so President Roosevelt believes, to cut out waste, unfair practices, sweat-shop wages and conditions, and long hours, would be utterly impossible legally if the Sherman law is not suspended ? ! Where Are They? “ (Cartledge says in his platform that he favors the Roosevelt pro gram, and then he goes on to op poue it sepcificaily. Have not the people of the district the right to know just where Cartledge stands ahd how long he will stand there?” Congdon spoke in Hartwell yesterday . He will ispeak every day this week., He is tour ing the district, talking with the people on their farms and in their places “of businets and homes, he said. He favors gcvernment con trol of the sale of hard liquors, when the 18th amendment is re pealed, adequate compensaton for veterans = with service-connected disabilities, and is opposed to com pensation for those whose disabili ties are not service-connected. *1 see eye to eye with President Roosvelt in his program for the economic recovery of the country. If we can restore the country’s buying power, and prosperity to the people, it does not make any difference how we do it. After all government is the means for giv ing the people the very best con ditions possible under which to live, It is foolish to cling to an ‘cient and outworn gov]}rnmentafl ideas when to da so is bringing about seconomic ruin.” Mr. Congdon is an -alumnus of the University of Georgia and is an Augusta attorney, He is a young man, under forty, and is regarded as a forceful and convincing speaker, He is expected to be heard by a large crowd when he speaks in Athens. O'KELLEY SPEECH MONROE, — Hoke O’Kelley, of Walton county, candidate for U. S, Congress from the 'l:entfi District spoke here yesterday afternoon in the interest of his candidacy, In addition to other subjects he urged the recognition of the Rus sian Government, by the United States and a resumption of the sale of cotton to Russia. He stated “The American government should recognize the Russian government, This government has now had charge of Russian affairs and world dectinies for about 15 years. It has held Russia together during the economic upheavel sinee the war, and it is the on.y govern ment the Rassian people have. It would not quite suit us as Am erican people, but it cuits the Russian people, and they are the ones to decide. We believe in self 'dptermination. It has been more sticcessful than many other gov :[ernmems which we have by force of arms South of here helped to iausmin_ There is no reason why the Russian people should not have itheir government take its plaice (Continued From Page One) with the other governments in stablizing world affairs and car rying on commerce and trade. “The recognition of the Russian government by the United States would stimulate trade activities between us and Russia and open a big market for the sale of cut ton, In the past under trade con ditions oficially recognized by both governments we have sold as much as two million bales to them in one year. [But under the sub rosa and unrecognized trading rpcéntly carried on our sales have fallen off to nearly nothing, For herly one Russian syndicate ‘bought over one million bales of cotton in the American market in three years time. Now the entire Rugsian nation is not buying that much from us. If we could have sold two million more bales of cotton to Russia the price of cotton might be appreciably above what it is now. We owe it to the Rus ian people and our own economic interests to recognize their gov ernment. The recognition would enable that nation to have a more powerful influence in Asia, and thereby enable her to speak with mare authority and power to the other Asiatic governments, “Re cognition would enable Russia to take its proper place Elong with the other Asiastic powers and make for stability' in the Acsiastic world. It might even -save the American nation a future war on account of dsturbed and unbal anced Asiatic conditions. An other patent reason why our Con gressional district sh\ov.ud g 0 on record in saver es the recognition. is ‘that” 6n several occasions Pre sident Roosevelt has let ‘it be known that he would like to know what the sentiment of the people is en this question. We would do well to let him know that we have thought the matter over also, and that we think well of the recog nition move.” HARRIS AT GREENSBORO GREENSBORO—(SpeciaI)— Roy V. Harris, candidate for Congress to succeed the late Judge Charles H. Brand from the Tenth District spoke here Saturday afternoon on the lawn in front of the court house to a large crowd of people. In part he said: “When I an nounced: my platform 'in this race for Congress more than two weeks ago I made the principal issue op position to monepolies and €speci ally to the monopoly of power trusts. “On Sunday following the death of Judge Brand a director of the Georgia Power Company held a caucus in the Southern Mutual Building in Athens, attended by a few politicians from Clarke, Hart and Elbert counties and launched the campaign of one of their neighbors for Congress and in ev ery speech that I have made and even in Athens, 1 have branded their candidate as being the candi date of the power trusts in this race. “Events since the announce ment of my platform have justified my position. The investigation of the committee, from the United States Senate has disclosed that J;: B Mgrgan and Company own 22 per cent of all the public utili= ties and control more than 157 of the principal industries of the na tion and that the power trusts has enjoyed a monopoly and held a firm grip upon the throats of the people of the nation. “The issue in this race is the is sue of the people against the power trust. 'The power trust has picked their candidate and placed upon him their stamp of approval 1 made the power trust the issue fin this race and the issue is square ly between me and the candidate sponsored by the power trust” 1 'G.O.P.

McWHORTER BRINGS HIGHWAY, TALMADGE ROW TO COURT HERE (Continued From Page One) petitioner. It claims further that the governor of the state of Geor gia has no authority by law to in terfere with the operation of the highway departinent. . The high way departinent. has about §7,- 000,000 of unallocated funds on hand, sufficient to pay the peti tioner and his four assistants who- are involved in the contro versy between the bhoard and the governor, petitioner contends, in asking that court order the pay ment of the petitioner’s salary and expenses for April and May. The filing of McWhorter's pe tition is the first legal step taken in connection with the controver sy between gowvernor and the board. The court’s decision will determine in reality whether the governar has authority to fire the five teachers, as he claims under the budget act. If the court de cides that the highway board, in the absence of any oxrder- lismiss ing McWhorter or cancelling his contract, is obligated by law to pay his salary and expenses for April and ~May, the issue will have been settled, pending final decision by the supreme court, if it is appealed to that tribunal. It the court should rule that the highway board is not obligated to pay the salary of McWhorter, in view of the governor's having or dered his name stricken from the payroll, the governor will have won a major vietory in his fight to control the highway depart ment. No Authority The petitioner ‘claims that under the statutes of this. state “the highway board is the executive and administrative head of the state *‘highway department with full power and authority and in full control of the highway de partment and all road work and highway work, free from interfer ence by any other official of this state.” The petitioner further con tends that “it was not necessary for the highway department to submit any budget to the Governor of the State of Georgia and to have done so was a mere volun tary act, aand the governor could nos in any way change the amount allocated to said depart ment, nor could he change in any way the right of the highway board to control that department, in all respects as provided by statute.” Governor Talmadge, in ordering the dismicsal of the five highway engineers, is attempting to “obtain control of the highway Jdepart meit” and use the authority which he has ‘usurped’ to make the board ‘bend the knee and com ply with his illegal demands for discharging the five engineers and substituting others to his liking,” the petitioner contends. The governor has already “show ed his hand,” the petitioner de clares, in his letter to the board of June 1, when he said that he will ‘approve or disapprove of the list” of successors to the five engineers, if the board discharges them. BROAD STATEMENT * ATLANTA, Ga.— (AP) —Court action to compel salary payment for ene‘of five engineers Governor Talmadge has ordered discharged, a wasning from the chief execu tive to creditors -of the Highway department, and rumors that the governor would seek to oust two members of the Highway board were among developments Satur dayv in Georgia’s msot famous budget dispute. Reuben R. Arnold, Atlanta at torney, announced that B. P. Mec- Whorter, chief highway engineer, had . filed in Athens with Judge Blanton Fortson, a petition for mandamus against the Highway board to compel it to pay him a salary for April and May and that a hearing had been set for June 20. Arnold said McWhorter filed the suit through Graham Wright, Rome attorney; State Senator J. T. Colson of Brunswick, also an attorney, and the Atlanta law firm rnold, Arnold and Gambrell Captain J. W. Barneétt, chair aman of the Highway board, after announcing that Mr. Arnold had a sfatement for the press, released for publication a letter to ‘“each «employe of the State Highway department,” saying the Highway board is “not only protecting the five men whom the governor seeks to discharge as we would protect any of you if you had been taken off the budget by the governor, but we are protecting your right to work for us as long as your work is satisfactory.” }T The letter also said the board had offered not to pay these five Ante Is Boosted In Damage Claim Against Kingfish BATON ROUGE, La— (AP) — Charges that “administration, thugs” had been used to intimi date and silence citizens opposing tax increases in the 1932 legisia ture were contained in a supple mental suit filed against Unltfid ‘Statds Senator Huey P. Long in district court Saturday by Mrs. Anne Extor Pleasant, wife of for mer Governor Ruffin G. Pleasant, seeking damages on allegations that the senator defamed her 'character and caused her illegal a 1 -ost { In the supplemental bill, Mrs. Picasaulr wouvied the original re quest for damages and asked for a $500,000 judgment against Sena tor Long. She originally charged that Long publicly called her “a drunk en, cursing woman” and ordered 'a state officer to seize and eject her from' the state capitol. She said the encounter occurred June 15, 1932, in the office of Miss Alice Lee Grosjean, state supervisor of public accounts. Charges Violence The supplemental petition char ged Senator Long with an attempt “to strike terror to your petition er as a tax opponent through the use of the hostile presence of his henchmen, the physical force of one of them and the threatened violence of all, as evidenced by the fact that some persons who in tended to speak against the bur densome tax raises were bluffed into silence by administration thugs whom Long dominated and the waylaying and knocking into insensibility of one Joseph Boud reaux,” described as a tax-raise opponent. Mrs. Pleasant also charged that in a purported interview publish ed in a local paper the following day, Long was quoted as saying he went to the supervisor's office “to keep the officers from putting her (Mrs. Pleasant) in jail.” This statement was described in the suit as “scandalous, malicious and defamatory,” and was made the principal allegation on which the additional $250,000 damages was asked. M. J. Hornsby Dies Suddenly; Funeral Today at Elberton (Continved from page one.) Davis, Boyleston, Ala.; five bro thers, J. 8, T. N., and Hamilton Hornsby, Atlanta; Carl Hornsby, Brackettville, Texas, and L. L, Hornsby, Tampa, Fla. Mr. Hornsby came to . Athens several months ago to succeed the late R. C. Curry as agent for the Seaboard and made many friends here. He was a native of Atlanta, and a member of the Baptist church. He was agent for the Seaboard at Elberton for fifteen years. Mr. Hornsby was stricken with an attack of angina pectoris while in the reception room of Dr. R. M. Goss' office where he was awaiting, with other patients, a consultation engagement with the physician. Members of Mr. Horns by’'s family stated that he has not been ill recently until Friday. men until courts decide “we must pay them, provided the governor will let us have the money to pay the rest of you employes othger than these five men,” but that the “governor will not agree to do this . Chairman Barnett also made public a letter proposing that a mandamus suit be filed by one of the engineers to compel the board to pay the salary due for this quarter, and during pendency of the suit, the governor release funds to pay employes other g than the five engineers. Governor Talmadge said Satur day he turned down the proposi tion when it was presented Fri day. He made no comment on the filing of the mandamus petition. At his press conference, how ever, he said sellers of supplies and service to the Highway de partment should ‘“beware,” since the department was operating and incurring expenses without an ap proved budget. ' Turned It Down Governor Talmadge did not com ment on rumors that he might seek to oust Barnett and W, C. Vereen from their posts on the Highway board. Governor Talmadge said he had instructed the Prison commission to ‘“receive as fast as they are turned back to the state,” 540 pris oners now doing road work for the Highway departnmient. The de partment some time ago announ ced that it was forced to turn these convicts back to the state because of lack of funds. The gov ernor said they would be kept in camps where they are now con fined, and costs of guards and food paid out of the chief execu tive's contingent fund. “This is one time when $150,000 has got to meet $20,000,000, and it’'s going to do it,” he said. The Highway department, in some leg islative debates, has sometimes béen referred to as a $20,000,000 department. The contingent fund is $150,000. Asked about reports he “might call out the national guard in the dispute, he said only that he could not keep people from speculatihg as to possible means of removing officials from office. The fact that the governor an nounced he would fill a speaking engagement in New York city next: Wednesday, at a flag day celebration of the Sons of the Revolution, was taken to mean he would not act further in the dis ‘pute until his return next week end. s He will speak at Mcßae, his home town, Monday night, at ex ercises at the public school there.

Heitman, chairman, which hailed the ‘“sacrifice and unselfed efforts” of those “who have made possible the completion of the new Publishing House with outr delay and without debt.” Announcement was made of the clection ‘of the following officers: President—Miss Mary G, Ewing of Brookline, Mass. | Clerk—Ezra W. Palmer of Brook« line, Mass. st | Treasurer—Edward L. Ripley of Brooklineé, Mass. | Miss Mary G. Ewing is a nativey of Quincy, 111. She received hel schooling in that city and in Chie cago. Christian Science was first brought to the attention of her 'family through the healing of her father, Judge Willlam C. Ewing.' tHer mother, Mrs. Ruth B.” Ewing, subsequently became a pupil of 'Mrs. Eddy, and a teacher of Christian Science. Miss Ewing first received instruction in Christ ian Science from her mother, and later in 1910, from the Board of BEducation of The Massachusetts Metaphysical College in a Nermal Class. Neyer was the necessity of an applied and practical Christianity more apparent, Gov. Ralph O. Brewster, retiring president, de clared in an address leading up te the introduction of his successor. “Never have the directors of the mighty army represented by this great assemblage here today faced a more linspiring challenge for world-wide service. The breaking up of material beliefs may seem 4emporarily to present themselves in the guise of want and woe and famine until the work of those who have enlisted to vanquish error ‘in every form shall make their nothingness appear.” In his message from the Board of Directors, Mr. Heitman said: “The growth of our church was‘ never more gratifying, the interest; in its healing ministry never more pronounced, and the readiness of its members to meet the demands! of the hour never more apparent than they are today. If proof of this latter statement were needed it would be necessary only to clte‘ the prompt and generous manner ir which branch churches, socie ties, associations, and individuals have responded tc the call for funds to erect the new home for our Chrigtian Science Publismng‘ Society. .~ “The demands in respect to. the erection of the material structure are fast drawing to a close. But there still remains an even greater responsibility—the responsibility of fulfilling the building’s announced purpose, ‘to proclaim the universal activity and availability of Truth’.” Miss Rosamond Wright, manager of the Department of Branches and Practitioners, cited the establish ment of “a new branch of The Mother Church in Kenya, Africa, situated 2,000 miles from the near est branch church; also, our first branch in Egypt, at Cairo; and two new branches in Brazil, South America, as well as five additional branches in Australia. These rep resent the distant points to which the arms of The Mother Church have extended since our last meet ing. “In addition, 21 new branches have been formed in Europe, and 42 .in North America. Twenty-six Christian Science Societies have qualified for the title of Church. F'ive new college or university or ganizations have been formed. The Mother Church now ihas 2,639 branch churches and societies, and 47 college and university organiza tions.” Ar outstanding example of how public thought is being “leavened” in regard to Christian Science was cited by . the Hon. C. Augustus, Norwood, manager of committees on Publication, in the annual re port of activities within his de partment. The ‘“incident” referred! to was the poll which was con-! ducted to determine America's “i greatest women of the past 10L] vears which gave Mary Baker| Eddy “the recognition which was clearly due her” Mr. Norwood disclosed that “news stories of this poll, many of which were accompanied by pic-! tures of our leader, were published not only in hundreds of papers in the United States, but also in hun dreds of papers in other countries,_' thus indicating a broad interest in our organization and our religion, and :in the great life-work of the ‘Discoverer and Founder of Christ ian Science.” The x:ef)ort‘ aiso cited the “inspir ing fruitage” which has resulted from the use of the radio provided by :the Board: of Directors.” Mr. Norwood declared that the “Com mittees are grateful for the sup port that this latest method of call ing Christian Science to the atten ion of a waiting world has re ceived.” Noticeably larger audiences than usual at free public Christian Sci ence lectures wer‘e - cited in the report from The Christian Science Board of TLectureship, read by Judge Samuel W. Greene, chair man. Judge Greéne reported that during the year ended April 30, 1983, the members of the Board ot Lectureship delivered 3,080 lectures on Christian Science to an esti mated attepdance of 2,955,174 per sons. One of the two lectures de livered in Mexico City was the first to be presented in the Spanish language. “The . growth of The Mother Church goes on unfettered” Kzra W. Palmer, clerk, told members at the annual meeting. “During the | past year devoted men and women from all walks of life have been received into membership. “The Reliefl Fund of The Mother Church, which is available for temporary assistance following lmajor disasters, has been drawn lupon during the year for assist ance to flood sufferers in England and in West Virginia; for aid to hurricane victims in Puernto Rico; and for help in a section of Cal ifornia following the recent earth quake. . . “Some relief work has been done in other sections of the United States, and in Germany, Holland, Esthonia, Austria, Poland, Finland, and Canada. The charitable work carried on by the local congrega tion of The Mother Church waa? augmented this last winter by a} Special Unemployment Relief Fund which was established in cnopera-‘ tion with the ecity campaign for the Relief of Unemployment. A Comforts Supply Committee hasl ‘alded by distributing clothing and other necessities in this field.” ‘ A year of substantial achieve ment in the activities of The Ohristian Science Publishing Soci ety was reported by Mr. Roland R. Harrison, manager. “‘Despite reduced advertising revenue from The Christian Science Monitor,” the report says, “and lessened in come in other qlrections, the so ciety reports an increase' in net profits over the previous year, due largely to the publication of the new Hymnal, and to the loyal sup port of consecrated Christian Sci entists. ’ “Operating on a basis of ’'wis dom; economy, and brotherly love,’ economies were effected in the 'Publishing Society, and large sav ings made, through the stagge» Syvstem and in other ways, with out a general reduction in the working force.
