- tbroi
ored People, urged successfully,
ugli Congress, the 20th Amend
ment: that Amendment provided
that the control of children up to
the age of 18 could bo taken from
Mother and Father and put under a
Federal Bureau.
No mother could then have her
daugtiler to cook a meal: uo 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 lawn
which Congress might pass.
Prohibition
Senator Harris invites my views
on prohibition without stating his
If he defeated Judge Parker fof
the Supreme Court because, ac
cording to his (Harris'! revised
statement, of certain leaning* he
voted for Mr. Owen Roberts, from
the home state ot Florence Kelly,
Pennsylvania.
Mr. Roberts has openly in debate
declared the ISth Amendment ought
n^;. 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 hy construction he cun nul
lify the prohibition amendment if
his “leanings" and peraonul opin
ions accompany him on the Bench.
Since Senator Harris provoked a
reply from me. let me say that 1
think prohibition is no Issue und
cannot be made one in Georgia ex
cept ns a football of designing poli
ticians. The 18th Amendment is in
the Constitution to stay and I will
vote against its repeui. .
Only since my announcement has
Senator Harris mentioned anybody
hut himneif an doing anything for
the 1C1 Georgia counties.
He refers to various bills os the
“Harris-Brand” bill; the “Harris-
Ed wards” bill: and the “Harris-
Vinson” bill. \\ hy doesn't he put
tlie name of the man who nrginated
it in the House, first?
Senate Investigating Committee
Now let me notice one other at
tack characteristic of a politician.
No mnn threatens an Investiga
tion of his opponent unless he ex
perts to get beat.
The Government gives to every
Senator $10,000 a year for a Sec
retary to be paid $3,900 and three
clerk*. This amount ought to he all
raid to Georgia men and women
for services rendered, and when I
am elected, n Georgia secretary and
Georgia clerks shall receive It—
Every dollar!
This, Senator Ilurris has not done,
and 1 challenge him to produce his
payroll und let the Investigating
defeated because he (Parker) be-, ^ orara Bl°® examine that for the
llevcd in WHITE SUPREMACY.
The long defensive letter of
tor Harris shows he rccogni/'
pending defeat! News must have
come from home that the myth of
his 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 nnd amusing
explanations. He even admits some
Georgia Congressmen wero In the
CapitoLduring his service as Sena
tor, although he falls to give Sena
tor George credit for any accom
plishment.
Regarding the League or 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 HarriB know
that Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick
defeuted Senator Dineeu in Illinois
for nomination for U. S. Senator
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 1L
There is no liver issue before
the American people today.
Parker Defeat
1 smoked out Senator Harris
his vote against Judge Parker, of
North Curolina,
Supreme Court Bench. He said
Judge Parker was not sufficiently
able for the position.
The trouble was that Seualor
Harris was ignorant of what was
going on. Any intelligent man
who was in .he Senate and heard
tiie debate ought to have known the
National Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored People ue-
feuted him because Judge Purker
declared negroes ought not to par
ticipate in politics.
Senator Harris, who usually ex
ploits himself through the press as
the only representative from Geor
gia, using “1” 79 times in one letter
and using ”1" “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.
Tlie result of the Parker rejection
is that the negro newspapers of the
North gleefully proclaimed their
victory over Parker and declared
that henceforth the 14th and 15th
amendments shall be enforced.
What one vote on the Supreme
Court may mean in the future to
the South I do not know. Senator
Harris refused to vote to place a
Southern man there nnd
serving in the Creek Nation.
He served in that capacity sever
years, to the full satisfaction of W
H. Crawford, then Secretary of Wa
He succeeded in both
promptly. His own record says
Crowford gave an order to the
ditor, saying “I know this man,
settle his accounts without red tape,
and see that he has the money to
pay ofi the volunteers.”
Going into civil life, he lost heavi
ly by a too generous nature and too
implicit confidence in the honesty
of other*. He settled a large estate
on the sugar lands of Lousiana, but
losing a brother there of yellow
fever, he gave up that country and
concluded to locate himself in Dooly
County Ga.
About 1825, on the occasion of,
LaFaycttc’s visit to Milledgeville, he
was Marshall of the Day. Subsequent
ly on the occasion of Henry Clay's
visit to Milledgeville, he. together
witfi the late Col. A. H. Kenan and
Seaton Grantland, were appointed a
committee to go to Gor.don and re
ceive and escort the distinguished
guest to the city.
In 1841. he and Col. Miller Grieve
were elected to the House, and Col.
A. H. Kenan to the Senate. In
1844, he was appointed director by
the Central Bank of Georgia, und
he and the late A. M. Niabet, cash
ier, had the arduous task of winding
up the affairs of that institution. He
gave his whole time and attention
to this business and it nearly cost
him his life, by causing the most
severe illness he had ever experienc
ed.
In 1845-46 he was Judge of the
Superior Court. In 1866, he became
a member of the Protestant Episco
pal church.
His losses by overwclming confi
dence in hip fellow man in early life,
and later by hte results of the war.
he bore with a stoicism rarely seen,
and which to a certain extent he must
have learned from the Indians, who
he used to say were always his
