SLATON Says:
! The long defensive letter of Sena
/tor Harris shows he recognizes im
'pending defeat! News must have
‘come from home that the myth of
ihis being invincible—just like
« Grundy, of Pennsylvania—is in
danger of being exploded.
The Senator writes a lengthy
- statement full of retractions,
changes of position and amusing
explanations. He even admits some
Georgia Congressmen were in the
'‘Capitol during his service as Sena
itor, although he fails to give Sena
‘tor George credit for any accom
iplishment. -
Regarding the League of Nations,
‘Senator Harris writes:
“Mr. Slaton seems to be unduly
exercised by the League of Nations
when he tries to resurrect it.”
Does not Senator Harris know
{that Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick
[defeated Senator Dineen in Illinois
[for nomination for U. 8. seflor
{from Illinois on the sole issue of
the Court of the League of Nations
by over 200,000 majority.
Mrs. McCormick said that that
was the sole issue between them
and she opposed it.
There is no liver issue before
the American people today.
Parker Defeat ,
I smoked out Senator Harris on
his vote against Judge Parker, of
North Carolina, for a seat on the
‘Supreme Court Bench. He said
Judge Parker was not sufficiently
able for the position.
The trouble was that Senator
Harris was ignorant of what was
going on. Any intelligent man
who was in che Senate and heard
the debate ought to have known the
National Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored People de
feated him because Judge Parker
declared negroes ought not to par
ticipate in politics.
Senator Harris, who usualiy ex
pleits himself through the press as
the only representative from Geor
gia, using “I” 79 times in one letter
and using “I” “ME” and “MINE” |
214 times in a 30 minute talk, en
deavors to take shelter behind Sen
ator George and others whom here
tofore he has ignored, in his press
communications.
The result of the Parker rejectizn
is that the negro newspapers of the
North gleefully proclaimed their
victory over Parker aad. declared
that henceforth the 14th and 15th
amendments shall be enforced. - |
What one vote on the Supreme|
Court may mean in the futurg to
the South I do not know. Senator |
Harris refused to vote to place a|
Southern man there and who was
defeated because he (Parker) be
lieved in WHITE SUPREMACY.
Destruction of Family Life |
Senator Harris invited me to dis- | :
cuss other issues. I now charge|
him with connivance at the most|
‘destructive blow that was ever]|
aimed at family life in the history
of an English country. «

|ored People, urged successfully,
| through Congress, the 20th Amend
| ment; that Amendment provided
| that the control of children up to
| the age of 18 could be taken from
| Mother and Father and put under a
Federal Burédau.
No mother could then have her
daughter to cook a meal; no father
'| could have his son to chop wood;
no farmer could have the servant
plow a field, if under 18 years of
age unless in accordance with laws
which Congress might pass.
} Prohibition
Senator Harris invites my views
on prohibition without stating his
own,
If he defeated Judge Parker for
the Supreme Court because, ac
cording to his (Harris’) revised
statement, of certain leanings, he
voted for Mr. Owen Roberts, from
the home state of Florence Kelly,
Pennsylvania.
Mr. Roberts has openly in debate
declared the 18th Amendment ought
aot to have been adopted. How
poor Judge Parker, the prohibition
ist, would have been crucified had
he made such a statement as has
Mr. Roberts. Yet Judge Roberts is
now on the Supreme Court Bench
where by construction he can nul
lify the prohibition amendment if
his “leanings” and personal opin
‘ions accompany him on the Bench.
Since Senator Harris provoked a
repiy from me, let me say that I
think prohibition is no issue. and
cannot be made one in Georgia ex
cept as a football of designing poli
ticians. The 18th Amendment is in
the Constitution to stay and I will
vote against its repeal.
Cnly since my announcement has
Senator Harris mentioned anybody
but himself as doing anything for
the 161 Georgia counties.
He refers to various bills as the
“Harris-Brand” bill; the “Harris-
Kdwards” bill; and the “Harris-
Vinson” bill. Why doesn’t he put
the name of the man who orginated
it in the House, first?
Eenate Investigating Committee
Now let me notice one other at
tack characteristic of a politician.
No man threatens an investiga
ticn of his opponent unless he ex
pecis to get beat.
The Government gives to every
Senator SIO,OOO a year for a Sec
retary to be pail $3900 and three
clerks. This amount ought to be all
paid to Georgia men and women
for services rendered, and when I
am elected, a Georgia secretary and
Georgia clerks shall Pregeive -it—
Bvery dollar!
This, Senator Harris has not done,
and I challenge him to produce his'
payroll and let the Investigating
Committee examine that for the
last seven years. ;
When the voters come to decide
the question of the next Senator
from Georgia consider into whose
hands you prefer to jut the future
of your children—Senator Harris,
or myself.
Shall the compliment of a gov
ernment franked, rubber stamped
letter control your vote on this
momentous question?

Qur Week Spent
at Camp Wilkins
Emmalu Hoover
I think our week spent at Camp
Wilkins was one of the most
educational and enjoyable weeks ever
spent. It seems that everything
even the weather did its best to make
the time the pleasantest possible.
Our schedule was planned so
* carefully that every minute was
occupied with some kind instruction
or amusement, QOur meals were
delicious, and we were allowed a
swim in Lake Kirate befroe each
meal.
The trip to Camp Wilkins was
delightful. We rode from about ten
o’clock Monday morning until four
Monday afternoon through miles and
miles of beautiful scenery. The
evening of our arrival was spent
registering, playing games, getting
supper, looking over the campus,
and organizing.
From Tuesday on our mornings
were filled with classes. We got up
at six o’clock each morning. Then
we went to flag raising and
immediately aflerwards came
swimming time. After hreakfast and
camp inspection (which is someone
seeing how well the ‘beds are made
and swept under) came the classes.
All were very interesting but there
were many to attend all we attended
the ones we liked best. The main
ones were home improvement, putri
tion, the girl in thc home, chemistry
of bread, gardening, poultry, dairying,
record keeping, flowerculture, and
pig and sheep raising. These were
taught in various places - as, for ex
ample, in poultry we went to the
poultry yard of the Georgia State
College of Agriculture. Just before
lunch a general assembly was held, in
which we sang songs, and sometimes
someone gave us a lecture,
lach afternoon began with an hour
long rest period followed by games.
Each alternoon activities were
different. 1 shall just say all wére
very enjoyable and mention some
thing about a few ot them.
The two 4 H Club conferences
gave us new ideas about club manage
ment and told how other clubs were
progressing., Mary Sue Lindsey
spoke at one of these for our group.
Tuesday evenings, a tree planting
cerem~ny was very pretty and
instructive, At the party which
followed our swimming directors en
tertained us. Several contests were
given, after which ice cream was
served on the campus.
Wednesday afternoon one of our
best known story tellers told us Bible
stories on the amphitheatre. After
seeing a movie we were, ready for
bed.
Thursday, Mrs. Kitchens and
Velma Williams spoke over the radio.
The excursion over the colle e
campus and through most of the
buildings took almost all of Thursday
afternoon, The vesper service' was
led by the leader girls down on the
i campus. The clothing demonstration
was a very interesting feature of the
) weeks iniertainment. The partici
t pants of the demonstration were
: trying to win a place in the contest
. to represent Ggorgia. in the national
; contest and get a trip to Chicago.
Many new and pretty styles were
; displayed. Mary Etta McCook and
! I represented Wilkinson Co.
| Next morning we cooked breakfast
: in the woods. In the afternoon came
1 the trip to town and places of interest.
: First we went shopping, passing
places of interest on the way. We
: also went through an ice cream
| factory and Beach Haven, which, was
, the name of a man who has spent
| much time in Japan, He modeled
~ his home after the Japanse style. In
~ the evening the winners of the
: clothing demonstration were announce
~ed. A photographer took pictures of
_ the participants of the demonstration
~ for the papers. He also took another
picture of every one in camp. The
candle lighting ceremony took place
-on the campus after dark and was the
prettiest affair of the week.
IHaving derived very much benefit
from the week’s activities, we ate
breakfast early Saturday morning
started home. We had a wonderful
trip and arrived safely at home about
noon,
Senator Harris
I very much agree with Mrv. Harris
on the fact that Mr. Slaton is hard
put to find issues for his campaign.
His record as governor of Georgia is
plain enough and in the Leo Frank
case, the publicity acquired was
embarrassing I should think.
Senator Harris does not spend his
time on the stump. He can point to
his record with pride and “ let the
voters of the state be guided by that.
The Parker case is nothing but a
clever move to strengthen Republican
politics in the South and was blecked
by Senators who knew him ‘and what
he stood for.
Last but not least, let me appeal to
the voters of Georgia to consider
seriously when they visit the polls this
fall and vote for the man whose
record shows results.
