Governor Eugene Talmadge for his
attacks on President Roosevelt and
the New Deal in nn address before
mass meeting of Baldwin county
fanners at the Court House on last
Saturday.
Col. Allen was the principal speak-
■ at a rally called to discuss the
farm program for the coming year
and to hear a report of the gathering
of farmers in Washington to assure
the President of support from the
farmers of the county.
Allen criticised Governor
Tblmadge for reflecting upon the
physical affliction of the President
and declared that many of Georgias
most illustrious statesmen had had
physical aflflicitions, citing Ben Hill,
Alexander Stephens and Governor
McDaniel. He said these men had
been loyal and able Democrats and
their affliction had in no way inter
fered with their ability for service
to their state and nation. He said the
attack d' the Governor on President
Roosevelt's physical infirmities was
a lick below the belt and poor sports
manship, and that, all Georgians
loved a good sport
Mr. Allen showed by facts and
figures the benefits that have been
received from the farm program^
and processing lax. citing the fact
that the farm income had increased
ninety per cent in Georgia since
1932. the last year of the Hoover
administration.

cturers were trying to drive p-
down and continue the farmer In
slavery by their attack on the pro
cessing tax and he said the Governor
stood with them in this effort. It
pointed out that the textile interests
had benefited from tariff protec
tion for many years and nOw that
the farmer was receiving a fair price
for cotton because of the processing
tax. which was a protective tarriff
for the farmer, the textile interests
were try» n 8 to destroy this. Frequent
applause interrupted the speaker
he gave instances of benefits from
the farm program and flayed the
critics of the president and his ef-
