come when the Democ tic oou h
which furnishes the votes to elect
Democratic presidents should be
g,n to furnish the Presidential Smith
nommees; bemuse Senator
is qui uannea in every i pen, oy
ability and experience, to serve a
president, and in that office as in
the Senate, would be a conspicuous the
champion of the interests of
farmers, upon whose prosperity the
nation depends.
“Senator Smith's service in be¬
half of agriculture has not been
confined to (he farmers of Georg a,
but has immensely benefite d the
farmers of the entire United
States. His reputation as a great
constructive leader of legislation
for the advant nent of agriculture
is known to e ery organization of
farmers in tls 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
to him as their spokesman on the
committee on agriculture of the
Seriate. They know his familiarity
with their problems, his absolute
conviction that their prosperity un
derlies the nation’s prosperity, his
extraordinary ability to get results
in whatever matter he undertakes.
"Senutor Smith wrote and passed
the bill establishing farm extension
work.
“Senator Smith wrote and passed
the bill establishing vocational
training in the schools and colleges,
“Senator Smith’s efforts to get
our cotton across the ocean in the
fall of 1914 and the spring of 1915 ef
are well remembered. In those
forta he has the support of
dent Wilson, who directed the send
ing of a strong communication to
the British Government by Secre
tary Lansing. Finally, as a direct
result of Senator Smith’s agitation
of this important matter, involving
the freedom of the seas, cotton rose
•hove 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.
“Well do T remember, ns a mem¬
ber of the committee who went to
Washington to represent the Geor¬
gia Farmers Union, Senator Smith’s
strong and fearless opposition to
the bill proposing to fix a price on
cotton in the early summer of I!)17.

In other words, the wheat growers

that our farmers should be prohib¬

“With these facts before me, I
could not refuse or fail to support

South, which furnishes the votes to
elect Democratic presidents, should
furnish a fow of the presidential Hoke
Smith nominees. Georgia’s 1 am supporting choice for the
as
nomination because of his record,
because of his ability, because of
his towering qualifications that
maky him the peer of any aspirant
in either party. If he is nominated
at San Francisco, and I hope he
will he, my judgment is that he will
command more support among the
farmers of the entire country than
any other candidate the Democratic
party could nominate.

in a great speech of by Dr. the

of the Hew Movement.
'
Among the , reasons for , such . a
Dt - Ch "" ,he ,0, - ;
1. Th» unusual willingness aa the
f . ..
part of the more enlightened class
es outside the Church to study and
investigate Christianity. and
2. The unusual willingness
readiness on the part of the Christ¬
ian Church today for action, for ser¬
vice, and even for sacrifice.
Dr. Cheng emphasized the point
that it must be a Chinese movement
of national proportions led by Chi¬
nese Christians.
Among the tasks to be undertaken
by the Movement are:
1. The conquest of illiteracy,
2. The enlistment and training of
Christian workers and ministers,
Framing in stewardship. . ...
