REYDAVI DENIES
CHARGEJF UNION
Man Known Here as
Lon Davis, Who Served
Churches at Adairs
ville and Acworth,
Says He Plans to Run
For Congress.
Macon, Ga., July s—The Macon Tel
egraph has received a communication
purporting to be from Rev. Roy E. Da
vis, who was deposed from the presi
dency of the Georgia Farmers' Union
at a meeting here last Saturday of the
execuUve committee of that organiza
tion, claiming that the committee had
no authority to oust him and that he
intends to continue as president of
the union until his term xplrs.
The letter waa typewitten, and the
signature at -the bottom Is also written
the same way. The letter Is dated
Fitzgerald, Ga.
In It Mr. Davis challenges his ene
mies to prove their charges and says
the whole thing has been a frame-up
on the part of the enemies of the Ku
Klux Klan. He alleges he was offered
money to resign quietly from the union
and declares his intention of bringing
the executive committee “before the
courts of Justice that they may suffer
for their rash actions In trying to ruin
me as a minister of the gospel and a
citizen of Georgia.*
He adds that he can prove the charg
es are false and manufactured “for
the purpose of ruining me in my race
for congress from the Eleventh dis
trict."
He closes by saying, "I am in the
fight to stay, ai*d for the sake of God.
the Christian churches, and Protestant
Christianity, please give this publicity.’
Dr E. Powell Frazer, a member of
the executive committee of the Farm
ers' Union, who voted to depose Mr.
Davis, declared tonight that fiot.ces
have gone out to the local organiza
tions of the Farmers' Union, telling of
the dismissal of Mr. Davis as president.
"Hs is no longer connected with the
organization," said Dr. Frazer. "We
gave him an opportunity to resign; be
insisted upon having a trial, and we
gave him an opportunity to name the
date. He chose 11 o'clock Saturday
morning. June 30. and the committee
was here to try him- He did not ap
pear.
“This matter came to a head three
weeks ago. We hunted through South
Georgia for him and finally found him
at Fitzgerald, and there confronted
him with the accusations and obtained
an admission from him as to the truth
of the charges. He has no author. t>
with the Farmers' Union, whatever.'
