Twenty five million persona, repre

organizations in the United States, are
now lending their strength to the alli

i ijuatified in aveiy respect, by
ability amt experience, to serve as :
president, and in that office as in
the Senate, would be a conspicuous
champion of the interests of the
farmers, upon whose prosperity the
nation depends.
“Senator Smith’s service in be
half of agriculture has not been
confined to the farmers of Georgia,
but has immensely benefitted the
farmers of the entire United |
States. His reputation as a great
constructive leader of legislation
for the advancement of agriculture i
iR known to every orjramzation of
farmer; in the country. When the
five principal organizations hold
their meetings in Washington, or
when any one of them meets in
that city. Senator Smith is usually
invited to address them. They look i
to him as their spokesman on the |
committee on agriculture of the
Senate, They know his familiarity 1
with their problems, his absolute
conviction that their prosperity un- \
derlies the nation’s prosperity, his j
extraordinary ability to get results,
in whatever matter he undertakes.
“Senator Smith wrote and passed
the bill establishing farm extension
work.
"Senator Smith wrote and passed
the bill establishing vocational;
training in 1 he schools and colleges.
“Senator Smith’s efforts to get;
our cotton across the ocean in the:
fall of 1914 and the spring of 1915
are well remembered. In those ef
forts he has the support of Presi
dent Wilson, who directed the send
ing of a strong communication to j
the British Government by Secre
tary Lansing. Finally, as a direct 1
result of Senator Smith’s agitation
of this important matter, involving
the freedom of the seas, cotton rose
above ten cents a pound by May |
1915, and the south was relieved
of the terrible depression which
threatened us with bankruptcy a
few months before.
“Wei! do 1 remember, as a mem
ber of the committee who went to
Washington to represent the Geor
gia Fanners Union, Senator Smith’s
strong and fearless opposition to
the bill proposing to fix a price on
cotton in the ear’y summer of 1917.

wheat (rowara were a
minimum to stimulate praduetteh.
Same mem bars of Congress
that a price should ao be fixed an
cottoa. since the wheat price-fixing
bill had been passed. But our ps
sition was that supply and demand
were making a price for cotton
that insured production; that it was
not accessary to give an induce
ment to the cotton growers; but be
yond this, the price proposed for
cotton was not to be a MINIMUM
price, like the price fixed for wheat,
but was to be a MAXIMUM price.
In other words, the wheat growers
were guaranteed NOT LESS THAN
a stated and very generous price on
their product; whereas the proposi
tion regarding Cotton was to say
that our farmers should be prohib
ited by law from getting MORE
THAN a certain stated price, and
the price proposed was to be less
than the cost of production. Against
great pressure, Senator Smith stood
by us in the fight, fearlessly exert
ing his great influence against the
bill. Largely as the result of his
masterly presentaflon of facts and
figures showing cotton production
cost, the bill was oefeated.
“These are not all of the matters
ai ! measures in which Senator
Smith has rendered treat service in
behalf of the farmers of his state
and the United Suites. His prin
cipal efforts in the Senate have
been in the cause of agriculture
and education. No man that ever
served in the Senate has been a bet
ter friend, an rbler representative,
or a more influential spokesman of
the man on the farm.
“With these facts before me, I
could not refuse or fail to support
Senator Smith. As said in the be
ginning, 1 regard him as the ablest
champion of our interests that we
have ever had. I repeat that, the
South, which furnishes the votes to
elect Democratic presidents, should
furnish a few of the presidential
nominees. I am supporting Hoke
Smith as Georgia’s choice for the
nomination because of his record,
because of his ability, because of
his towering qualifications that
make him the peer of any aspirant
in either party. If he is nominated
at San Francisco, and T hope he
will be. my judgment, is that he will
command more support among the
farmers of the entire country than
any other candidate the Democratic
partv could nominate.
“What Georgia farmer, knowing
his record, can he against him?
What Georgia farmer, indorsing
that record, can fail to go to the
polls nod vote f'>r him on the twen
tieth of April?"
