wASHINGTON—OwWen D. Young,
who hadn't been hearq from for
«ome time, has blossomed out ag a
;!. and and adviser of the farmer,
This town has more friends and
_gvisers of the farmer than were
¢>l nefore gathered in one place
ond it may be interesting, not to
oy jmportant, to compare some of
ieir ideas with some of Mr.
Young’s.
The AAA crowd lately has been
essing the point that al] its
erop control programs have the
overwhelming support of the farm
or¢ involved; that it wouldn’t ever
think of imposing anything the
farmer didr’t want; and ‘that it
will be more scrupulous than ever
in holding referenda to determine
whether the farmers do want to
z 0 in on the plans AAA says are
goods for them.
It all sounds downright virtuous
and in any event is an effective
anewor to the propagandist who
save the farmer is being regiment
od and enslaved by bureaucratic
control
But it's rather a gsham battle, be
eanse evervhody knows the farm
ors want what they’re getting from
AAA. They just adore those higher
arices and those benefit payments
which offer them an incentive %o
cut their acreages.
The AAA, however, ig 'spared
from the attacks of Republican
politicians, who would like to sug
oete that the farmers wouldn't
sien up for the aéjustment pro
rams if they wefen’t being bribed
L 1o 0 1
But the G. O. P. as 5 party feels
that one of the lesg pleasant forms
of cutting its own throat would
he to attack the benefit payments.
If it doesn’t win back the farm
states, it’s about through. :
But let's get away from sordid
partisan politics and get back to'
Mr. Young i
Mr. Youngz made a gspeech at
Syracuse, N. Y., which slopped a |
bhit over onto the sentimental side
ut the farmer and the sacred-l
ress to him the farmer—of hisi
freedom, even to the point of feel- |
ing free to disagree with his wife.
You must admit there’s sOme-l
thing to whay Mr. Young ‘says|
when he points out that the fam":er!
has no boss, not evén his wife—
except the weather. ]
It is also true that the farmer
Is hossed by prices—and 10w Drices!

possessed a million farmerg these
last few years—and Mr. Young in-l
ferentially admits that, though of- |
ferine mno remedy which doesn’t |
sound like a composite of things
;wh # hy'h' heen tried before and
But the point is thay Mr. Young |
candidly came out with the flat as
sertion that the farmers wouldn’t
stand for crop control if the sub
sidies were dropped,

_Well, the AAA hadn't been talk-l

Talmadge 105,636 votes to 54,778
for Judge Pittman and 3,101 for
Gilliam.

Officers of Liner Answer

Make Revelations
NEW YORK.— (#) —The first
and third officers of the liner
President Cleveland today told a
board of inquiry investigating the
Morro Castle disaster that they no
longer wished to serve with Cap
tain Robert E. Carey, master of
the President Cleveland, because,
they cnarged, Carey delayed in
sending lifebaots to aid the burn
ing Morro Castle.
The third officer, Harold. Peter
son, of San Mateo, Calif,, told the
board he already had asked that
he be relieved of his berth under
Captain Carey. :
“Bven if you believe the cap
tain’s only fault was an error of
Jjudgment?”’ Peterson was asked.
“There should have been no er
ror of judgment,” he replied.
Peterson said he believed more
lives could have been saved from
the Morro Castle if the President
Cleveland’s lifeboats had put out
sooner.
| The first officer, James H Hen
derson, told the board he no lon
ger had “any respect for the mas
' ter” because of his failure to get
lifeboats launched faster. He said
he would ask to be relieved of his
command if Captain Carey was
not removed. ’
Meanwhile, George Alagna. sec

Castle, who is being held as a ma

Carlisle Cobb
Tests A Theory
And Wins On It
By DAN MAGILL
- Carlisle Cobb goes to the next
legislature from Clarke county as
probably the only man who ever
ran for a simiiar office without
soliciting - a single vote—in faet,
that was his major issue.
Carlisle’s race was the feature
of yesterday’s primary, outside of
the governor’s race, and his feat
has caused more after-primary talk
than anything else today. Carl!ele’si
friends time after time urged him
to “get out and ask for vetes”, but
he refusued to do it. So many
times did he refuse that some of
then finally resigned themselves
and Carlisle to the fate of all can- |
didates who do not get out and|
see the voters, while one staunch |
supporter summed up hig indigna- |
tion at Carlisle’s apparent lack of’
political understanding with thg
remark, “Carlisle will LET _yoy
vote for him, but he wants you to
distinetly understand that vou are
doing it on principle”. And when
their candidate refused to spend
election day at the polls, shaking
hands with the voters and slapping
them on the back, his friends gave
up in despair. “He's a goner!”
they said. While 'Carlisle himself
was probably at home, or in his of
fice, reading a treatise on some ab
stract subject.
Other candidates have “offered”
themselves to the voting public and
