Leo, of Atone Mountain, who haa
been elected president of tho Georgia
division of tho Farmers* Union to fill
the unexplred term of R. F. Duck-
wroth, who resigned to devote hla en
tire to the chairmanship of the na
tional executive committee, has Issued
the following address to tho Farmers’
Union memhars of Georgia:
To the Members of the Farmers’
Union of Georgia: R. F. Duckworth,
who brought this organisation to our
state and who hag been associated
-with It from Ita entry until the present
time, ceases to bo state president, by
resignation and giving a legitimate
reagon therefor which was entirely
satisfactory to the state executive
committee and every one familiar with
the circumstances.
Wo do not lose hla influence, hl«
counsel or hi* assistance. Words fall
me, a* hla nuccegsqr, to express my
appreciation of thlg great and noble
man, and I am sure that every Geor
gian will always love Duckworth for
his past services. The membership
The .state executive committee -has
sefn fit to place upon me the official
duties of state proslrant. I know that
I will have tho loyal support of the
members of the Farmers* Union of

sacrifice and labor to tho fullest extent
of which I ain cnpahle.
And now one word: Let us push
forward until wo have accomplished
tho greater part, If not all, of tho
hopes and alma of thla organization.
The same policies that have marked
our growth In the past nr« to be still
adhered to. I expect my administra
tion to follow In tho lines of the pant
administration, which hns proven so
successful. I realize that great dread
existed that this organization would
be dragged Into politics. All such
relieved of the task of having any
thing to do In a political way, and
my life and tny brains shall be de
voted to Industrial, relief of our people.
Rut few counties of this atate have
not heard tny views. T shall go to
them and Into every section of thle
state ns .quickly as I can without det
riment to my official duties. In

union some plans for the next year.
Lamenting that Brother Duckworth
could not continue as chief executive,
thanking him for th*j Impressions
given by being by being his dally as
sociate. believing In tho Integrity and
earnestness of our people in this re
form movement and In accepting the
highest office In tho gift of the com
mon people of Georgia, the Empiri*
