“FARMERS’INNING HAS COME,
AND IT HAS COME TO REMAIN,”
SAYS PRESIDENT C.S. BARRETT
At the close of ths three-day con
vention of the Farmers’ Union Presi
dent Cbsrlex S. Barrett Issued an offi
cial address to ths 'members of 'the
organisation In which he waMee hope
fully of_what the union has done snd
U»*nat work ahead of It He sold:
To the Officers and Members of the
Farmers' Union, Oreetlng: As president I
of the National Farmers' Union,
can not fall to take the earliest occasion
to congratulate the entire orsanlaatlon
upon the treat and Insplrlns auccess of
our recent convention In Atlanta. and
upon the dlatlnct and definite oaaurance
w hich It given to me and to us all of the
continued growth and proaperity of our
great body of organised farmers.
The meeting held In Atlanta on Jan
uary St, St and 14 was attended by the
preeldenta of the different atale organ
izations, the aecratarlea of those organ
isations, the national board of directors,
and by voluntary delegates from the
different local and state organisations.
It la a aource of pride and encour
agement to ma to record and to trana.
mlt to you the Information that this
ever held In he hlatory of the National
Farmers' Union. The attendance was
far beyond the expectation of ua all.
Fourteen atatea were represented, and
there waa never a time when the at
tendance of actual representative mem.
bera of the union In the city was loss
than 1,(00 strong and eamsst men.
Sessions Harmonious.
Abovs all other things. It gives me
pleasure to Inform you that from the
tlret fall of the gavel upon the conven
tion until the Anal fall which closed It,
there was everywhere and at all limes
the most perfect harmony, the most
beautiful fellowship and the most In
spired sentiment of unity and co-opera.
tlon among all the representative men
who stood for tho different branches .if
our great union. I have never before
been a party to any convention whose
deliberation! were marked by so strong
and so wholesome a spirit of fellowship
and friendship, of unity of sentiment,
of onenees of purpose and a resolute
conadence In the ultimate success of Its
prindplts than the convention which
has Just been brought to nn end In
this capital city of Oeorgla. There was
not a deliberation marred by any se-
rloua question of opinion. There was
not a debate which had In It a tinge
of ausplclon. or of bitterness. There
waa not a suggestion of rivalry or of
cliahing personal or selfish ambition In
any phaae of this great deliberative
assembly. And although our sessions
were secret, as they always are, I nm
convinced that If any Impartial or phi.
loaophlcal observer could have been
present from the first to the lest of
these conferences, that he would have
carried away ths Impression that ours
Is^n great, compact, unified sin.l in
separable organisation, banded togeth
er for great purpoaes In the spirit of
mutual confldence. mutual saerlllee and
has Inspired every man.who wus a pari
of It with a sense of the mission snd of
the responsibility of our great organ
ised system or unions. W» are begin
ning upon the great broad basil of
conadence In each other. We have
Tactions, tv.r—have no feuds, -we hove
no rival ambitions. The very fact that
thlB convention began and ended with-,
out a discoid end without a difference
is the best augury of the unity of our
purpnsca and the Inevitable success of
the principles which we ure united to
establish.
It Is my great happiness to bid you
be of good cheer 'n all y.Vur work
through the length and breadth of that
great territory over which our organi
sation extends. We have everything
In the wide range of equipment to en
courage and Inspire us. We have the
numbers, we have the equipment, we
novc the organisation, we have the
conffdence and respect of the great
press of the country and of the great
public of America. These great and
tnlghty forces irecognise us os the
great representative agricultural or
ganisation of the times. They look to
us for the shaping of the policies upon
which Imng tho Industrial supremacy
of the agricultural masses, and the
proper estimate of the value of the
great products, cereal Rnd staple, of
the American fnim.
Name Is Exalted.
Our repute Is good, our name Is ex
alted among all the forces of our civil
isation.
W< have to kesp steadfast In the
faith of our great principles. We have
only to preserve the Integrity of this
great and successful union. We have
