10 recognition of his fight for
the farmers of the South, Con
gresham Sims is going to get an
increased vote on next Tuesday
The proposition to help the cot
ton farmers of the South may
not be deemed feasible by some,
but in spite of the Southern
memb ers of Congress by their
actions and votes can show

with or against the people. 1t
ought to be as practical and con.
stitutional to use a few hundred
million dollars to help the cot
ton and tobacco growers of the
South as it has been to lnanipu
late the whole treasury for the
benefit of Wall Street. Some
time ago Mr.. Sims signified his
intention to fight to the last
ditch for the people and he kept
his word-as he always has.
