NEW TOBACCO BARNS.
Atlanta, Ga., March 12.—It is esti
mated that Berrien county, Georgia,
will have twelve hundred new tobacco
barns this season, according to re
ports received from Nashville by A.
B. & A. railroad officials. On every
public highway leading from the
county seat as well as on every
country road or settlement route it
is said one may see as many as six or
eight new barns in course of construc
tion some of which are nearing com
pletion.
Agricultural agents of the A. P.
& A. have been advised that the to
bacco crops this year will be about
four times as large as they were last
year. The cotton industry in Berrien
county is being pushed aside to make
room for what has proved to be a
more profitable business in tobacco
growing.

made to Mrs. W. E. Chandler, secre
tary af the educational committee at

McAdoo, Progressive
vs.
Underwood, Reactionary
Georgia Democrats are called on to nominate their Democratic
presidential choice in the Georgia primary March 19. ThiB election
will be of the highest importance. Its outcome will have a profound
effect upon the success of the party an i the welfare of the nation.
We hope every Democratic voter will go ’.< the polls and vote.
Our choice in Georgia is between William G. McAdoo and Sen
ator Oscar W. Underwood. They at e the only candidates entered in
our primary. Between these two nnd these only can we express our
preference. Let us examine and compare the records of these men.
Let us appraise their respective ability and acceptability on the basis
of what they have done.
McAdoo is a progressive, independent Democrat. He has always
been the friend of the masses. Throughout his entire public career
he has demonstrated that his sympathies are on the side of the com
mon people, and his support now comes from the great rank and file
of free-thinking, forward-looking Democrats throughout the nation.
Underwood is a reactionary, stand-pat Democrat. His public career
has demonstrated that he is the friend and protector of big business
and special privilege, and the inspiration of his candidacy now comes
from these interests, as it came in 1912.
Underwood’s campaign is remarkably well-financed. Underwood
headquarters have advertised very extensively in the newspapers.
They have sent out drayloads of letters anti literature bearing two-
cent postage. They have distributed immense quantities of propa
ganda of all kinds, both from Atlanta and from Washington. Their
agents are touring from county to county in automobiles to “boost”
Underwood. Georgians well remember how the state was deluged
with money by Underwood campaign headquarters in 1912. Who sup
plied the finances for Underwood twelve years ago, when he had no
chance to be nominated? Who is now supplying the money, when
his chances are even less than they were in 1912? What reservoir
of wealth is at the disposal of Underwood’s backers to keep on run
ning him as a stalking horse?
McAdoo is a national candidate—Underwood is a one-state can
didate.. McAdoo will go into the Democratic convention in New York
in June with a majority of votes on the first ballot, already in
sight and already conceded him by even his opponents. Underwood
will go into the convention with the delegates of one state—conced
ing him Alabama, where the Underwood ring leaders procured the
passage through the Alabama legislature of an outrageous law pro
hibiting any candidate residing outside of Alabama from entering the
presidential primary in that state. As pointed out by William Jen
nings Bryan, what would be the result if every state resorted to such
high-handed methods to protect a favorite son? The Democratic na
tional convention, as Mr. Bryan aptly expressed it, would be turned
into “an auction block.”
McAdoo is the friend of the farmer. When the sudden outbreak
of the European War in 1914 paralyzed the cotton market, McAdoo
as Secretary of the Treasury proved his friendship for the farmers
of our section by placing a government loan of millions of dollars in
southern banks to make advances to farmers. He proved it by mak
ing a splendid effoi*t to have the government buy ships to carry our
cotton overeass, the lack of ships heing one of the causes of the
paralyzed market.. That effort waJ defeated by a group of reac
tionaries of the type of Underwood in the United States Senate.
McAdoo proved his friendship for the farmers of the south by insist
ing on twelve Federal Reserve Banks instead of eight, (as originally
proposed), and in organizing the Banks he located four in the south
and one in Georgia. He proved his friendship for the farmers by
initiating the Federal Farm Loan Banks. He has recently proved it
by advocating acceptance of Henry Ford’s offer to manufacture cheap
fertilizer at Muscle Shoals for the benefit of the farmers.
Underwood has repeatedly exhibited as little genuine sympathy
for the interests of the farmers as for the interests of the working
people in general. He recently demonstrated his indifference to the
farmers by opposing Ford’s offer, although he well knows that abun
dant fertilizer at low prices is today the most urgent and desperate
need of southern farmers fighting a death battle with the boll weevil.
The difference between McAdoo and Underwood as regards Muscle
Shoals is that McAdoo wants Ford to operate this great water power
for the benefit of the farmers, while Underwood wants the Alabama
Power Company to operate it for the benefit of the Alabama Power
Company.
McAdoo is the friend of the women and children. He proved his
friendship by supporting woman suffrage, supporting prohibition and
supporting the law by Congress to emancipate children from indus
trial slavery. (The latter having been held unconstitutional by the
U. S. Supreme Court, McAdoo now advocates a constitutional amend
ment prohibiting child labor.) Underwood exhibited his indifference
to the welfare of women and children by voting against suffrage,
voting against prohibition and voting against the child labor bill.
McAdoo’s ability, experience and achievements make him the
dominant leader of the progressive forces of Democracy throughout
the nation. In the Democratic administration headed by Woodrow
Wilson, which gave the country the greatest body of constructive leg
islation ever written in so short a period of American history, Mc
Adoo was a tower of strength. He broke the strangle hold which
Wall Street had exercised upon the United States Treasury for half
a century. He was one of the authors of the Federal Reserve Act,
and after its passage he organized the Federal Reserve Banks. He
initiated the Federal Farm Loan Act. During America’s participa
tion in the World War he carried a greater burden than any other
man in the government except President Wilson. He raised and han
dled a greater amount of money than was ever administered by any
other man in the history of the world—and retired from the cabinet
a poor man with a large family to support. As director-general of
railroads he displayed his magnificent ability by unclogging a con
gestion of freight yards and seaports which threatened to choke our
entire movement of supplies and troops overseas. He organized the
transportation system into a single efficient machine to win the war;
and operated it under war conditions for hundreds of millions less
per year than the railroads are now being operated. When men
called into the service were about to lose their life insurance, and in
surance rates on uninsured men were raised to prohibitive prices,
McAdoo organized and put into effect the great War Risk Insur-
surance financed by the government.
Few men in America in any period of the nation’s history or in
any great crisis have achieved such a record of sheer ability and
courage. There is not enough money in all the political slush funds
in Wail Street, and not enough printer’s ink and paper in the coun
try, to manufacture such a record for Underwood.
McAdoo was born in Georgia and grew to young manhood in
this state. His family were driven by Sherman from his birthplace
in Cobb county to refuge in Milledgeville. His father, Judge McAdoo,
was a Mexican War veteran, a Confederate soldier, and a distin
guished lawyer and jurist. Like most southern families after the
war, the McAdoo’s were impoverished. What little spending money
“Billie” McAdoo had was money he earned in Milledgeville by de
livering newspapers and other odd jobs. His school advantages
were limited. Most of his education he got from his father in the
S ’ dge’s law office in the old State Capitol building, now the Georgia
ilitary College. By hard work and sheer ability he rose to a
position of leadership at the New York bar and won a world-wide
reputation as the successful builder of the Hudson Tunnel.
McAdoo deserves our support because of his great record of
ability, of achievement, of courage, of leadership. He deserves our
support because with his record is coupled the fact that he was born
in our state. He will control the convention from the very first
ballot. His nomination is virtually assured even at this early stage.
But if he should fall short of it by a few votes, then he and his
supporters in the convention will name the man who is nominated.
Georgia wasted her vote on Underwood in 1912 when he was
little more than a favorite son candidate. What excuse has Georgia
now to repeat that performance when we have a native Georgian
who is the dominant candidate in the field, admittedly stronger than
all of his opponents put together?
McAdoo will sweep the state on March 19. Georgians are not
going to throw away the opportunity to place a native Georgian in
the White House for the first time in American history—an oppor
tunity which may not come again in a hundred years.
