PRESIDENT MAKES JULY
FOURTH ORATION AT
MONTICELLO
MONTICELLO, Va., July 4 (TP).
Honoring the author of the Declara
tion of Independence, the second
president of the United States, and
the founder of the Democratic party.
President Roosevelt declared today:
"The honors men gave him are
unimportant; the opportunities he
has given to other men to be free
were all that is really important.
The chief executive was delivering
the Fourth of July oration at the
home of Thomas Jefferson who died
110 yeasr ago today—just 50 years
to the day after the had penned the
famous document that announced to
the world that America was a free
nation.
The president’s non political ad
dress was concentrated on paying a
tribute to Jefferson. Only once did
Mr. Roosevelt mention modern Amer
ica. He declared:
"Modern democracy needs the con
tinuous spirit of youth. The modern
age calls for youth as did the age of
Jefferson.
The president emphasized the fact
that Jefferson was only 33 years old
when he framed the Declaration of
Independence.
Mr. Roosevelt declared that Jeffer
son framed the Declaration of Inde
pendence on one day—but added the
chief executive, every day of his life
he worked for a declaration of inde
pendence for the human mind.
Praising Jefferson for encompass
ing the full scope df knowledge of his
times, the president said that his real
greatness came in the days follow
ing the Revolutionary war. Then
Mr. Roosevelt added, he was able to
carry his theories of government Inta
practice.
The flower of Virginian aristocracy
mingled with tourists from all over
the nation as thousands jaquned the
broad green lawns of Monticello to
hear the president praise Jefferson
The crowd was the largest that had
ever gathered at Jefferson's home
since President Grover Cleveland
spoke at Monticello.
The speakers platform was packed
with notables. Among those present
were: Mrs. Roosevelt Secretary of
Intsrlor Ickes, Postmaster General
Farley, Governor Peery of Virginia
and four United States senators.
JEWS ARE PRAISED
BY ZIONIST HEAD
ROTHENBERG PREDICTS
TROUBLES IN PALESTINE
TO RALLY STRENGTH
PROVIDENCE, R. 1., July 4 (TP).
The president of the Zionist organ!-
zaiton of America told the Zionists’
annual convention tonight that the
Jews’ struggle to set up a homeland
in Palestine is like the American
Revoltion of 1776.
The speaker was Morris Rothen
berg He predicted that the Pews
will gather strength from the trou
bles in Palestine as the pioneer
Americans did from the battles in
the Revolution. He said that during
recent disturbances the Jews have
repelled attacks with admirable cour
age, but have restrained themselves
from counter-attacks.
Rothenberg called upon the Zion
ists of America to redouble their ef
forts for the development of Pales
tine. He said that the smallness of
the Jewish population in the Holy
Lind invites attacks from their ene
mies.
The speech by Rothenberg opened
a three-day convention. The 500
delegates will take part in tomor
row’s "Jewish Day" exercises of the
Rhde Island Tercentenary. Governor
Green of Rhde Island proclaimed the
“Jewish Day" celebration because the
first Jewish settlement was made in
Rhode Island in 1684.
TRUSTY JAILER
KEEPER ALLOWS PRISON
ERS TO SLEEP OUT
EVERY NIGHT
SELMA, Ala., July 4 (TP)—Jail
keeper Jim Tuck told his twenty
prisoners tonight that they had re
stored his faith in his fellow men.
For several weeks now, Jailor Tuck
has been throwing open the barren
doors of the jail shortly after sun
down each night so the prisoners
could sleep in the yard. Each morn
ing. the 20 prisoners re appeared at
the door, walked in of their own ac
cord, and were locked in for the day.
Tuck says the prisoners complained
the rusty ok! jailhouse was too hot
for sleep. So, said the jailor, "I
just had each of ’em give his word
of honor not to run away—and all
20 of ’em have proved that you can
have faith in your fellow men."

DANZIG LEADER
BLASTS FORTH IN
‘LEAGUESANCTUM
AUTHORITY OF GENEVA
ASSEMBLY IS ROUND
LY SCORED
GENEVA, July 4 (TP)—The fierce
political appositions which exist in
the free city of Danzig were reflected
in Geneva today in a fighting speech
before the league.
Danzig Germans are bitter against
League of Nations control over the
city on the Baltic Sea. President Grei
ser of the Danzig senate today ex
pressed the bitterness ta a league
speech. Greiser is a follower of naz
ism. He first of all demanded that
the league replace its present high
commissioner at Danzig—of else abol
ish the post entirely. Greiser charged
that high commissioner Sean Lester
worked hand ta glove with a small -
minority in Danzig to crush the as
pirations of German ' residents. He
accused Lester of supporting Polish
people in violence against German
residents.
Greiser entered the league chambers
in a huff. He had difficulty in getting
past the police guards. The police
were thickly stationed to prevent oc
curences similar 1 to yesterday’s spec
tacular suicide and the Italian demon
stration against Emperor Haile Sel
assie.
The police refused to admit Greiser
at first. He finally established his
identity and was allowed to pass.
Greiser wound up his harangue
with a demand that high commission
er Lester be fired. Better still, he
said, the commissioner’s Job should
be scrapped to allow the President
of the Danzig senate—that is Greiser
—to handle Danzig affairs for the
league. • ' • •
A large crowd in the galleries hissed
and booed as the Nazi leader conclud
ed his talk with the comment: “Now’
I feel better.”

GRANPVILLE. Mich., July 4 (TP)
Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg today
delivered the Republican party’s first
major bid for the American farm
vote. ‘ H '. ■' '
The Michigan senator attacked the
new deal’s crop control program. He
was speaking before an Independence
Day meeting of men and women from
Michigan farms. He descr bed the pro
duction dbntrol policy of the Dem
ocrats as "hypodermic prosperity”
and said it was the exact opposite
of established economic laws. Van
denberg said the Democratic platform
of 1936 sales to carry on a farm pro
gram that is not sound, because it
would result in restricted farm pro
duction .
The G. O. P. spokesman cited the
motor industry to demonstrate his
argument. Auto manufacturers, he
said, have led the climb out of the j
depression by increasing productiort
and decreasing price.
Vandenberg interrupted his analysis
of the Democratic platform to ask
“Jeffersonian Democrats” to join Re
publicans to defeat the new deal. He
charged congress with permitting
passage of unconstitutional laws. The
Republicans were said to be pledged
to uphold the constitution.
“We propose,” the senator said, “to
sustain the constitution 'against all
enemies, foreign and domestic." 1

Governor
Decides To
Go Higher
“GENE” WILL BACK RED
WINE IN GUBERNATOR
IAL RACE; FIGHT IS ON
(Special to The Daily Times)
McRAE, Ga„ July 4.—While a
shouting throng of “his countrymen"
cheered him on, Governor Talmadge
here today announced his candidacy
for the United States senate.
As hs announced his candidacy for
the senate the colorful Georgia po
litical leader called his collegue,
Charles D. Redwine, president of the
state senate, to the side and named
him as the Talmadge standard bearer
in the race for governor.
The governor’s famed red suspend
ers were much in evidence as stand
ing on the platform in Mcßae park
a few miles from his renowned Sugar
creek, he said;
“Do you want to send another sen
ator to Washington who will sit idly
by while Wallace places a 30 cents
ginning tax on your cotton?”
“No,” the crowd responded.
Outlines Platform
In announcing he would oppose
United States Senator Russell run
ning for re-election, the governor out
lined the following platform:
1. To have to written into our na
tional law the same provision of our
state law, which reads as follows;
"Creating no debt against the nation
beyond the fiscal or calendar year:
except in time of war and to repeal
invasions."
2. Stop the issuance of tax-exempt
government bonds. Stop the issuance
of any federal bonds of any kind, un
less adopted by the several states of
this union and voted on by the peo
ple.
3. Cut the federal annual budget to
under one billion dollars per year for
all proposed whatsoever. If this is
done, you will not be troubled with
so many foreigners x tramptag over
Georgia pretending to work for the
federal government.
4. Recognize the constitution of the
United States and remember my oath
of office to uphold the constitution
of the United States ta every vote
cast in the senate.
5. Remove every cabinet officer
who endeavors to change our form of
government.
6. Allow no taxes to be collected
from the people by any ruling of any
board or bureau at Washington. Keep
to congress the sole power of levying
all taxes and not delegating it to the
president or anyone else. And, in levy,
tag taxes, my course will be the same
as it has been in Georgia—to reduce
them at every opportunity.
7. Reduce postage stamps from
three cents to two cents.
8. Take government out of competi
tion with private industry, and let it
act only as a referee and an umpire.
9. And here I want every candidate
for governor of Georgia tn listen to
this:
“Regardless of who is elected gov
ernor, Georgia is going to get her
share of all federal money for road
building purposes or any other pur
poses—and this share is to be com
puted by the constitution of the Unit
ed States which pays the money must
be distributed equally among the sev
eral states of this union, according to
the population.
Will Fight New Deal
Talmadge said he had not aban
doned his stand against new deal
policies despite an announcement the
would support the party candidate.
The governor was particularly bit
ter in his criticism of secretary of
agriculture saying his announcement
for the senate would bring Wallace to
Georgia with plenty of drouths relief
money. When hee introduced Redwine
as his candidate for governor. Tal
madge made the president of the sen
ate remove his coat and don a pair
of red suspenders in place of his gray
ones.
"I am not a candidate for gover
nor,” Talmadge said as he introduced
Redwine.

FIRECRACKER
BERKLEY, Cal., July 4 (TP)—-

"Zookie" is dead—a casualty of the

those are the words they used. Zookie
was well liked, especially by his bo>s

ament that caused his death. He got
too near some people who were set
ting off fireworks, a firecracker fell
by Zookie and blew him to bita.
