'RECONSTRUCTION OF
POLITICAL PARTIES
AFTER DEFEATS
Republican leaders are already
laying plans to build up their party
again, after the disastrous defeat it
received in the elections of Tuesday.
Other elections have punished
political parties somewhat as the
Republican party was punished in
the 1934 elections. Sometimes the
party concerned revived, sometimes
it did not. Survival has depended
largely on whether the losers r’op-
crly lead the political trends evi
denced in their defeat, also how
wisely the winners used the over
whelming mandate given them by
the voters.
In this connection, an important
difference has existed between the
case of the Democrats and that of
the Republicans. Largely as a re
sult of the Civil War, the negro
problem and—to a slighter extent
—the tariff question, the Democrats
j were always able to count upon the
| South as a foundation on whieh to

L
GEORGIA SEAFOOD WEEK
PROCLAIMED BY CRAVEY
Commissioner Calls Attention To
Great Sopply of Oysters, Shrimp
And Crabs on Georgia Coast.
(By G. N. A.)
Georgia seafood will reign
Georgia menus during the week of
November 19, it was learned in At
lanta today. Commissioner Zack
D. Cravey has proclaimed that week
as Georgia Seafood Week and has
urged all civic organizations as well
as housewives to use Georgia sea
foods during that time.
“Our undeveloped natural re
sources include a number of ani
mals beside quail and wild turkey.'
said the Commissioner, “chief among
them being the Georgia oyster.
Georein has a tremendous coastline
and huge stretches of tidal flats I
beautifully adapted to oyster grow
ing. Vet most of the oysters sold in
Georgia are shipped in from other
states.
“As a part of the general buy at
home movement. I am urging that
Georgia housewives snocifv Geor
gia oysters, shrimp, crabs, clams, and
fish. For example, it has been shown
that oysters from the South Atlantic
waters have a higher iron content
than oyesters from northern waters.
These oysters are valuable in build
ing un anemic persons, for the iron
is readilv available. Our oysters are
also very rich in vitamins.
“The shrimp cron in Georein has
fallen off during the denression, but
is now showing a gradual upturn.
Soon it will be on its way to the
peak again, when thousands of
pounds of Georgia shrimp are ex
ported to Great Britain and Con
tinental Europe.
“In order to stimulate this home
industry which gives emolos ment
to thousands of Georgians. I want
to ask every Georgia home to have
at least one Georgia Seafood meal
during the week of November 19.
"The dealers are rcadv to deliver
first class goods, a great deni fresh
er than those bought elsewhere and
shipned in. The consumer is the
OT, c that should trv Geor^a Sea
food. Believe me. one snmnle will
show vou its superiority. Eat more
Georgia seafood, beginning on No
vember 19. 1934."

tions proved that there
many states upon which the Re
publicans can always count on as an
irreducible minimum.
After the Revolution, the Fed-'
eralist party of Washington and
Hamilton did not learn the lesson
of its defeats by the party of Jef
ferson, and the Federalists passed
out of the picture. The Republican-
Democrats became all-powerful, but
they could not maintain party unity.
Their internal difficulties led first
to the formation of the Whig party
and then to its victory in the presi
dential election of 1840.
The Whigs, however, tried to
straddle the slavery and secession
problems, also other issues, and
they fell apart by reason of their
ineptitude. So the Republican
party developed strength almost
from the moment of its organization,
and it did well in the first presi
dential election it contested, that of
1856. In 1860, the divided Demo
crats put three tickets in the field,
and the unified Republicans easily
on the presidency for Lincoln.
After the Civil War, the Demo
crats remained under something of
cloud except in the South, but
not for long. In the presidential elec
tions of 1872, the Democrats won
less than 100 seats in a House of
Representatives of almost 300, but
in ihe midterm elections two years
later, they gained more than 60 per
cent of the House. In 1882, the
Democrats again won more than 60
per cent of the House seats, but the
Republicans came back strong in the
next two election*-
In 1890. the Democrats gained
ore than two-thirds of the House
and they retained more more than
60 per cent in 1892, but two years
later the Republicans were victors
than two-tnirds of the House
contests. In 1912, the Republican
party ran third in the three-corner
ed presidential election, but then the
differences between the Republicans
and the Progressive were patched
up, and the Republicans came close
to winning the 1916 election.
In 1920, the Republicans gained
300 of the 435 scats in the House,
but two years later the Democrats
almost wiped out this huge
iority. In spite of the weak show
ing made by the presidential candi
dates in 1924 and 1928. the Demo
crats retained substantial strength
in Congress in those years.—Edi

CONTROL HAS DOUBLED
THE VALUE OF COTTON
The co‘ton adjustment program
has contributed to raising the price
paid farmers for their cotton from
average of 6.5 cents per pound
for the 1932-33 season to an aver
age of 9.7 cents for the 1933-34 sea-
and to 12.75 cents per pound on
October 25, figures compiled by the
Agricultural Adjustment Adminis
tration show.
At the same time the production
has increased in Georgia from 854.-
000 bales in 1932 when there were
control regulations, to 1,105,000
bales in 1933, and to an estimated
production of 970,000 bales in 1934.
This means that while the price
has almost doubled under the ad
justment program, at the same time
more cotton has been produced in
the state both years since the con
trol regulations were inaugurated
than were produced the last year of
uncontrolled production, it has been
pointed out.
Increases Cotton Seed Value
There has been a similar advance
the value of cotton seed, the rec
ords show. The price this com
modity averaged $31.54 per ton on
September 15. 1934. compared with
$11.28 on September 15. 1932, and
$12.11 on September 15, 1933.
Farm value of line and cotton seed
in the United States has jumped
from $488,912,000 in 1932 to $717,-
007,000 in 1933, and $759,972,000 in
1934. In addition rental and option
payments were $163,090,000 in 1933
and $116,505,809 in 1934.
The reduction in cotton acreage,
while raising the farmers’ income
has also freed 13,611,000 acres of
land from cotton for production of
food and feed crops, and practically
all of this was so used. A survey
in eight cotton producing states in
dicates that only two per cent of
the rented acres were idle after May
29. 1934.
Another advantage which has been
derived from the control program is
that rental and benefit payments
and the sale of cotton tax exemption
certificates under the Bankhead act
provide sources of cash income for
growers whose crops have been
greatly reduced or destroyed
drought, such as has been exper
ienced in the west this year, or from
other natural causes.

with the results she describes be

my aunt I sent far six bottles of
Cardui and when I had taken them,
I was much better and stronger. I
