AUGUSTA LEADERS
WANT HOOVER ON

As for Hoover, as stated above,
there are plenty of strong admirers
for him, also, and he would get a
good vote in Augusta if the subcom
mittee would do these good-natured
Democrats the kindness to put his
name on the ballot.
As J. Frank Carswell, a prominent
business man and formerly a member
of council, genially remarked:

regulated concerning our preference
in the presidential primary, do let
it come from a Democrat and not
from a Populist. What Is the ob
ject of a preferential primary if it’s
not to ascertain the preference of
the Democrats? Whose preference
should decide the question—the pref
erence of those who compose the
party or the preference of those who
control the party? And if the pref
erence of those who control the
party is going to decide the question,
who should be placed in control—
those who are Democrats or those
who are Populists?
“Our Esteemed Bosses”
“Some of our estemed Democratic
bosses in Georgia seem to forget
that forty-seven other states are go
ing to vote in tfte presidential elec
tion. They seem to forget that the
south and the west, if joined to
gether, will sweep the field. They
seem to overlook the fact that Hoo
ver is a western man of wonderful
popuar appeal in the west. They
seem to overlook the fact that wom
en are voting in many states. Wheth
er they favor suffrage or not, suf
frage has arrived right extensively,
and the women seem to favor Hoo
ver. They have not forgotten the
fact that Hoover reduced the cost of
living while the war was in prog
ress and enormous armies had to be
fed—while Palmer did nothing but
stigmatize the business men with
the odium of profiteering and gave
the public no relief.
"Yes, it’s a pretty come-to-pass—
this subcommittee headed by a Pop
ulist disfranchising us who are Dem
ocrats. As some editor remarked,
what would they do if there was a
petition to put Watson’s name on the
ballot? Would they shut him out?
They would not.”
Among others with whom The
Journal correspondent discussed pol
itics were Inman Curry, city court
solicitor; James M. Hull, another
prominent young lawyer; Ben and
Wallace Pierce, brothers composing
a prominent law firm; Editor Thomas
J. Hamilton and T. D. Murphy, of
the Augusta Chronicle; Editor Bow
dre Phinizy, of the Augusta. Herald;
Archibald Blackshear, city attorney
of Augusta; Rodney Cohen, promi
nent lawyer, and, numerous others in
addition to those quoted above.
Generally speaking, the sentiment
here with regard to the action of the
sub-committee is one of outspoken
disapproval. It would meet with
favor here if the Democratic state
executive committee in response to
the widespread demand of Demo
crats over the state, and in the in
terest of harmony and good will in
the party, should request the sub
committee to rescind its arbitrary
action with regard tff Hoover. Au
gusta Democrats, as indicated, have
different preferences, but they be
lieve in fair play. And the sub
committee's action has not the com
plexion to them of fair play.
GIVE US HOOVER, SAYS
WASHINGTON CITIZEN
WASHINGTON, Ga., Feb. 27.
Editor The Journal: We want a
clean-cut, honest candidate for pres
ident; a man fearless alike of labor,
capital and class, and unshackled by
opinions of canting politicians.
If we cannot find such a man in
the Democratic party, then' let us
find a man with these qualifications
who is allied with no other party
and run him as the Democratic can
didate.
The people of the country are
thoroughly dissatisfied ar.d disgust
ed with the charges and counter
charges emanating from the old-line
political cliques of both the Repub
lican and the Democratic parties,
and these leaders are trying to sup
press the real sentiment of the peo
ple, while fighting guerilla warfare
among- themselves.
Mr. Hoover’s refusal to ally him
self with outgrown ar.d wornout tra
ditions of politicians of both parties
is in Itself a distinct recommenda
tion; and we believe that he will
give the Democratic party a govern
ment for which the country will be
grateful,
The Democrats of Georgia want
Mr. Hoover’s name on the ticket.
Respectfully,

Senator Owen Pleads
For Pact Adoption, IFith
Or Without Reservations
(The Atlanta Journal News Bureau)
623 Rigg's Building.
BY THEODORE TILLEK
WASHINGTON. March 10. —The
peace treaty seemed in its death
throes today as the senate set the
stage for the final struggle on res
ervations to article ten. Both sides
Talked indefinitely of compromise,
hut remained as far as ever apart.
Disposition of the treaty, which in
all probability will throw it into the
presidential campaign, promises to
come before the end of the week.
President Wilson is unyielding and
ii the senate late Tuesday afternoon
Senator Lodge, leader of the opposi
tion, served an ultimatum that the
Republican side would never accept,
article ten as it stands.
Senator Owen, an adminstration
supporter, furnished a development
on the Democratic side by saying he
did not propose to follow any leader
to the defeat of the treaty and he
was willing to vote for ratification
either with the Lodge reservations,
the Hitchcock reservations or the
interpretative reservations referred
to by the president. Senator Owen
said it was futile to throw the treaty
into the campaign, because it is im
possible to elect a senate this fall
that would ratify the treaty as writ
ten. It would be a "ruinous handi
cap,” he said, to enter the campaign
on a “treaty without reservations”
issue.
Administration senators, while
there was still talk of compromise,
were handicapped by the fear that
the president would fail to accept
the' treaty with any sort of .Yeserva
tions having what the senate con
siders teeth in them. The president’s
letter to Senator Hitchcock encour
aged the fear.
Absentee Republicans Summoned
All the reservations, except that
to article ten, were today out of the
way. Senator Curtis, the Republican
whip, sent telegrams to all absentee
Republican senators requesting them
to return to Washington Friday.
This indicates the beginning of the
end.
There was no improvement shown
in the treaty situation, A resume of
the developments indicates the
treaty, having been resurrected, is
once more on its death bed and that
its resuscitation and all the talk it
brought on was in vain. Here are the
high lights of the apparently hope
less deadlock in the senate:
Senator Lodge gave final notice
that the Republican side would never
accept article ten as wanted by the
president. That article, he said, was
one of "naked force.” The president,
he added, had admitted as much in
his letter to Senator Hitchcock and,
Senator Lodge averred, "the issue
can be veiled no longer.”
By a vote of 57 to 20, the Repub
licans, with the aid of seventeen
Democrats, wrote into the treaty
reservation No. 14, relating to
equalization of the voting strength
of Great Britain and the United
States in the league. This reserva
tion was a slight modification of the
Lodge reservation as previously
drawn.
The group of a bare half dozen
Democratic senators originally will
ing to accept reservations has now
grown to seventeen to nineteen.
Senator Hitchcock is holding in
line sufficient Democrats to join
with the irreconcilables and defeat
the ratification resolution—the Dem
ocrats defeating it because they do
not want the Lodge reservations, and
the Republican bitter-enders because
they do not want the treaty at all.
So long as twenty to twenty-five
Democrats stand with the president
there cannot be ratification with
"nullifying reservations.”
The seventeen Democrats voting
with the Republicans approximately
represented the opposition strength
on the minority side shown In sev
eral previous notes.
I>ast Chance Offered
Republican forces are offering the
Democrats a last chance to compro
mise, as they say, on article ten.
This move is evidently to put the
Democrats and the president ip the
attitude of refusing to compromise,
transferring the onus for treaty de
feat from G. O. P. to Democratic
shoulders.
Democratic leaders assert, how
ever, that the “compromise offered is
merely one of phraseology; that it
makes no substantial concession and
is the Lodge reservation in new
dress. The Republicans so far have
no assurances of recruiting additional
votes on the minority side.
That the president will pocket the
treaty should it come to him with
the so-called compromise reserva
tion is the privately-expressed belief
of Democratic leaders.
No Way Out Seen
Having gone thus far with the
president, slightly more than a score
qf Democrats seem willing to see the
struggle through. At this point the
progress seems again to refuse rati
fication in the senate of a treaty con
taining the Lodge reservations, in
stead of ratifying and putting the
president to the necessity of pocket
ing the document. From no angle,
consequently, does the treaty situa
tion appear satisfactory today. The
lineup is substantially the same it
was in November. From the ultima
tum of Senator Lodge on article ten,
the exultant unyielding of the Re
publican irreconcilables, on down the
line to the steadfastness of the ad
ministration Democrats who are still
voting in harmony with the presi
dent’s views, there seems no way out
of the deadlock.
The president’s letter to Senator
Hitchcock was discussed at some
length by Senator Lodge and it was
in this speech that the majority lead
er said: “There must be no obliga
tion imposed on the United States
to carry out the provisions of arti
cle ten.”
Senator Owen, Democrat, who has
stood rather consistently with the
administration’s forces, also discuss
ed the president’s letter, and said
he was now ready to vote for the
treaty with or without reservations.
Owen Opposes Delay
“As far as I am concerned,” said
Senator Owen, "as an American sena
tor who for many years has ardently
and. strenuously served my party and
m country and supported the admin
istration on all suitable occasions,
I decline to assume the slightest re
sponsibility for delay or defeat of
the treaty. I refuse to be a party
to the defeat of the treaty or its de
lay. lam ready to support it in any
form, to follow any leader Who leads
to ratification, and I will not follow
any leader who is leading to defeat
and delay.”
Senator Owen analyzed the va
rious proposals regarding article ten
and said he found little difference in
the administration, opposition, or
compromise suggestions regarding
respecting and preserving the terri
torial integrity of member nations.
"It appears now to be the wish
of the president to have his Demo
cratic associates vote with the ir
reconcilable opponents of the treaty,
defeat the resolution of ratification,
and make the “treaty without reser
vations,” the issue of the next elec
tion.
"I should regard this as a great in
jury to our domestic interests. The
delay in establishing peace has help
ed to raise, instead of helping to
lower, the cost of living. The defeat
CO-OPERATIVE CON
LATEST DANGER
TO THE PUBLIC
CHICAGO.—Beware of co-opera
tive con games! >
This is the warning of Dalton T.
Clarke, president of the National Co
operative Wholesale, with headquar
ters here.
Confidence men with fraudulent
co-operative schemes are fleecing
people in all parts of the country,
says Clarke. Taking advantage of
the widespread interest in co-opera
tion these fakers are traveling from
city to city with wild-cat promotion
plans.
“Various schemes are being used,”
says Clarke, “but they all have one
thing in common. The promoter re
ceives a portion of the stock —usual-
ly 50 per 'ccensort—for organization.
True co-operative enterprises are
formed by ■ the stockholders them
selves and there is no promotion
cost.”
The General Flan
Although the methods of the con
fidence co-operators differ in detail,
in general the plan, according to
Clarke, is as follows:
People known to be interested in
co-operation are sent circular letters.
They are told of the immense profits
of European co-operatives all of
which accrue to the stockholders. At
the proper time glib gentlemen gath-.
er their prospective victims together
and offer to organize a co-operative
store. In payment for their services
as promoters they are to receive a
fat share of the first payments on
stock.
Often the promoters decamp as
soon as they have their share of the
stock sale funds, according to Clarke.
Sometimes one of them stays as tem
porary store manager. In this case a
huge part of the first profit is taken
for “operating and overhead” expen
ses and finds its way to the pockets
of the promoter and his confederates.
Store Sometimes Used
In some cities merchants have dis
g-uised profit-making stores as co
operative enterprises, Clarke declares.
Most of these stores have offered
discounts, rebates and profitsharing
coupons under the guise of co-oper
atives.
"Such merchants have been a men
ace to the co-operative movement,”
avers Clarke, "because they h#Ve oft
en disgusted people with co-opera
tion and because in some cases they
have been actual competitors of bona
fide co-operative stores.”
Usually the labor organizations of
a city investigate the schemes of
purported co-operators and can ad
vise the promoters’ victims, says
Clarke. In any case the nearest es
tablished co-operative store or or
ganization will be glad to investi
gate any enterprise suspected of
fake.
The laws of some states forbid the
use of the word "co-operative” to ad
vance any enterprise not truly co
operative. In other states the pro
moters of co-operative con games can
be prosecuted for obtaining money
under false pretenses.
Sentence of Disloyalist
Commuted by Wilson
WASHINGTON, D. C.—President
Wilson has commuted the sentence
of two years’ imprisonment of J. C.
Seebach, of Rod Wing, Minn., for al
leged disloyalty during the war. The
additional penalty of a fine of $3,000,
the department of justice announced
today, was allowed to stand.
of the treaty would injure American
prestige abroad.
"With the treaty without reserva
tions or the treaty with reservations
as the campaign issue, the discus
sion of our vital domestic problems
of reconstruction, the cost of living,
monopolies, profiteering, etc., will
be obscured, as behind a smoke
screen, to the benefit of those selfish
interests which have been taking uri
just advantage of our people.
"It will be impossible at the next
election to elect a senate favorable
to the treaty without reservations,
and every well informed public man
knows it, so that after the campaign
t(ie treaty will be in no better posi
tion relatively than it is now, and
witji the ‘treaty without reserva
tions’ as the issue, the Democratic
party would have a ruinous handi
cap.”
Lodge’s Ultimatum
Senator Lodge’s speech contained
virtually final and positive notice
from the Republican side of the
chamber that article ten, as it stands,
can never go into the peace treaty,
which statement further emphasizes
the deadlock between opposition and
administration forces.
Senator Lodge arose to a question
of privilege to deny that he had said,
as quoted in a morning newspaper,
that the president’s letter to Sena
tor Hitchcock carried “a delightful
phrase about France.” The senator
said he "would not have said this even
in irony. However, he added, he
did deprecate the president’s state
ment that the militaristic party had
since the peace conference gained
ascendancy in France. He thought
that statement of the president un
fortunate and doubted its truth.
Furthermore, Senator Lodge as
serted he thought the president had
said something about Italy that was
“wholly uncalled for.”
When he reached a discussion as
article ten. Senator Lodge said:
“I am not willing to trust to coun
cil of diplomats the working out of
any salvation of the world from
things which it has suffered. The
whole peace conference which framed
the treaty and the league covenant.
Was composed of diplomats; the re
sult of their labors is an alliance,
and every provision in the league
covenant is left in the hands of dip
lomats. Now the president says the
salvation of the world must not be
sought by the council of diplomats.
I hat cuts out of- the treaty every
provision in it except article ten and
article ten is not diplomatic; it is
an appeal to naked force. That is
why we so much object to it; and
that is why the country so much
objects to it. It is naked force for
which each nation is made individual
ly responsible. There is not one ob
jection which has been made by the
most extreme opponents of the
league and of article ten that is not
admitted and advocated in the let
ter of the president. Article ten is
the one pure force article in the
covenant. He discards all others
and stands on that alone. It is well
that he has said it, the issue can be
veiled no longer, it justifies the
position that we on this side, all
alike have taken, that there must be
no obligation imposed on the United
States to carry out the provisions of
article ten.”
Value of Georgia Land
Doubled in Five Years
Georgia land values increased from 20 to 25 per cent during 1919, and are much
more than double five years ago, according to the March summary of the co-operative
crop reporting service, a union agency o the Georgia department of agriculture, J.
J. Brown, commissioner, and bureau of cop estimates, Z. R. Bette, field agent.
This increase is exceptionally remarkable in view of/the fact that the weevil has
about completely infested the state. In many communities in other states the advent
of this pest resulted in total demoralization. 'This is not the case in our state. A rise
in value is noted in all classes of farm property but Is particularly marked in that
having good improvements.
Small Grain Reserve
Never in the last decade has the percentage of last year’s grain crop been so
small. This is due primarily to shortage of our standard forage crops making neces
sary heavy inroads upon the standard grains, corn and oats. This is especially note
worthy because it means that if any unusual attention is given to cotton the coming
season, unusual quantities of feed stuffs will have to be imported to take care of our
stock. Not only is the percentage on hand very low but corn is of much lower qual
ity than usual. Grain on farms March 1, estimated, in thousands of bushels (i. e., 000
omitted):

COTTON
NEW YORK, March 10.%A very sharp
reak in the Liverpool market was attributed
partly to the advance in the rate of ster
ling exchange and the opening here was
only 6 to 18 points lower. Active fiionths
sold about 20 to 29 points below last night’s
closing during the first few minutes but
Liverpool was a good buyer, while there was
a renewed commission house demand, owing
to the continued wet weather in central
and western belt sections and Wall street
buying which was probably promoted by the
strong opening in the stock market. May
soon rallied from 35.73 to 35.94 and Octo
ber from 30.50 to 30.70;
The advance met realizing around 36.20
May and 30.97 for October, or about 18
to 37 points above last night’s closing fig
ures. This caused reactions of 10 or 15
points from the best, but except for profit
taking there was evidently no pressure
against prices, and the market showed a
generally steady tone early in the noon hour
with active months ruling some 10 to 18
upoints net higher. A number of tiegrams
were received reporting better labor condi
tions in the south than last year and poiot
ing to increased acreage but the continued
unfavorable weather brought in scattered
buying of new crops. Private cable advices
reported the beginning of a strike today in
French mills in the Roubaix and Tourcoing
districts.
The market showed increasing firmness
during the middle of the afternoon, with
May selling up to 36.23 and October to 31.15,
or 20 to 45 points net higher on renewed
covering and commission house buying.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, March 10.—A much low
er Liverpool market than due caused a lower
opening in cotton here today but after de
clines of 12 to 21 points a good demand was
met and a sharp advance resulted which car
ried the list 3 to 4 points higher than the
close of yesterday. May traded oft to 36.35
aand then reacted tp 36.59. Buying was'
based on the wet weather over a good por
tion of the belt, prospects of more rain to
come and the strong tone of the foreign
exchange market.
The strength in the foreign exchange mai
ket, especially in sterling, caused a buying
movement which late in the morning car
ried 15 to 30 points higher than the finals
of yesterday, October showing the most ac
tivity and widest gains and trading up to
30.80.
The large export movement for the day,
30,499 bales, against 2,455 this day last year,
and the fact that the bulk of the cotton
went to Bremen and to Japanee port, created
a new demand. At 1 o'clock the market
’was firm and 24 to 42 points over the
final quotations of yesterday.

SHEPARD & GLUCK COTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, March 10. —Continued un
favorable weather over the belt, the sharp
rise in foreign exchange and large exports
were responsible for the rise in cotton today
while temperatures were higher, too much
rain fell with more threatened, exports for
the daj’ were 30,499 bales, against only 2.455
this day last year and nearly 7 all of the cot
ton went to Bremen or to Japan. The mar
ket acts as if it would respond to further
favorable news.
NEWS BUREAU ON STOCKS
NEW YORK, March 10.—Many active
speculators who had been committed to the
bear side for a long time have changed
their position and are predicting higher
prices. Time money conditions are ex
pected to be easier after the income tax
payments are arranged Monday. Some look
for increasing popularity of the railroad
issues from day to day. Another element
favors petroleum stocks, especially Mexi
can Petroleum and Pan-American. In the
motors there was more talk about Stude
baker and a pending upward movement
than on any other issue. Heavy buying of
sterling featured foreign exchange, market
demand closing at 364(4. United States
Steel corporation’s unfilled orders at end of
■February will be made public at noon to
day. Doffers’ union at Fall River votes to
strike Monday because of failure of manu
facturers to readjust wages satisfactorily.
