JAMES DISAPPOINTED
Resents Houston's Refusal to Re.
 organize War Finance Corporation

Memphis, October N-(Special.) George R. James, local business man and prom inent throughout the south, is back from Washington with keen resentment against Secretary Houston of the treas ury department for his refusal to reo-- ganize the finance corporation to take care of the cotton crop and to open up the channels of trade with Europe He said today that Congress alone can save the situation, and he has pinned his faith to a bill that will be presented to that body in December.
 Mir. James said that Secretary Houston arbitrarily refused to reorganize the finance board and offered no explana- tion of his action other than to say that he did not consider it necessary. 'TIous- ton is doing what he can to keep the price of cotton down. said the resent full merchant. "He made the statement in 1918, although he later denied it, that the government should fix the price Of cotton at 9 cents a pound. He is now ruining the cotton market in an effort to bring down the cost of other things. IS a matter of political expediency. and the southern cotton farmer is being made the goat"

An at- tempt has been made by our opponent to distract from the issue by setting up racial groups each with selfish purpose. To each of these groups something has been promised, nor fas there been any consideration about the conflict in promises that have been made.
 None of those who have been against America in the last four years are going to vote for me. To my mind the most serious of all things presented is the attempt to arouse racial hatred. Promises have been made to the Afro American party which I do not beliep the promisers have any intention of carrying out
 There are some classes of Gocial equality which cannot be.

 by Alleood

Montgomery, october N.-tSpeciaL) Praising the farmers of Alabama and the south for their solidarity in the movement for the holding of cotton, M. C. Allgood, state commissioner of agri- culture, issued a statement yesterday afternoon in which he said the deter imitation of the farmers to protect
 themselves had forced the price of ctt
 ton upward by cents pound during thes past few days, and predicted that
 the continuation of the holding move
 ment will result in the establishment
 of the price on basis which will yield
 a return to the farmers.
 Commissioner Allgood said the in. crease made during the past ten days had saved the cotton farmers of he Interests which are cooperating in rhe debtors of the farmers for their policy of not forcing settlements at this t'me Farmers in debt for fertilizer and other necessary expenses incurred in the production of the crop are not be> ling pushed for settlement" said the statement. Loans are being extended and every means possible brought ts bear to conserve the interests of tho farmers, who in this contest have the sympathy of the states citizenship as la whole"
 The statement also mentioned that bankers and business men of : other states are backing the cotton farmers and that Texas is practically the only 1 s~x of any material portion of the cotton crop Texas has been forced to sell be- cause of crop failures of other years.
 q take this opportunity to state to
 the cotton farmers of Alabama that
 they have every reason in the world
 to hold their cotton and not one reason
 to sell" said Commissioner Allgood.

PRIZE WINNER FOR

 SUPPORTING COX
Carl Smith JosIyn Regards the League of Nations as Paramount, Supreme
 and Vital Issue
By HUGH W. ROBERTS
 Washington Bureau The Age. Herald

xrv... ouu uasieson BuiidinF Among former republicans who heard the President today (wednesday). and cheered the Presidents every salient thrust, was Carl Smith Joslyn, Harvard student.
 MT. Joslyn last spring won the prize of $6,000 offered by the republican na- tional committee for the best sugges- tion of party platform. His virile Americanism and youthful ideals, how ever, rebelled in face of Senator Hard ing's wobbling, and the reactionary po- licies of the 'old guard" and he is now openly enthusiastic in support of Gov ernor Cox and the League of Nations.
 T regard the League of Nations,n he said tonight 'as the paramount, su- preme, vital issue of the campaign. It transcends in importance all questions or domestic policy, all controversies in- volving partisan advantage. It and it.

THE HOURS DEMAND

At this point the former republican cleared his throat and with renewed vigor proceeded,
 The covenant of the League of Ma tions must in some form be ratified. I is the one great hope for the future peace of the world. Governor Cox is whole heartedly for it. Senator Hard- ing is utterly against 1t. No man or woman in America should hesitate be- cause of the hold of any party tradi- tons to al gn himself with the supreme moral endeavor of the ages.
 Party loyalty is too mean a virtue to be upheld at the sacrifice of a vital principle. The hour demands the moral fervor, the enlightened intelligence. and the courageous determination of every voter--young and old. As he loves his country, let no Americana fail.'
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-10-28


 The League of Nations is the one constructive effort towards the peace of the world. It is so closely inter- woven with the peace of Versailles that should the one fall, the other could not long survive. Not only for the peace of the world, but for the welfare 0. America, itself, the leagIe in some form must De ratified.
 Senator Harding has made his posi- tion plain. He would reject the league as it now stands or as modified by any of the reservations so far proposed. At no time during the campaign has he intimated in any of his public utter ances that he would. if America so de- sired, endeavor to bring about ratifica- tion with the reservations proposed in the Senate. Indeed, all his promises have the opposite intention. He has approved the stand taken by those who are bent on the destruction not onlY of the existing league but of any asso- citation of nations which would be al all effective in preserving the peace of the pO~l1

Slemp, of the Ninth district, asking
for instruction in favor of Lowden.
A storm of protest Immediately fol-
lowed. Several speakers who at
tempted to second the motion were
drowned out by cries and catcalls.
At one point Delegate Lou w.
Summers, of Abingdon, jumped to
his feet and exclaimed:
II rise to say that the men in this
convention who are advocating an un-
instructed delegation are jingling
Wood money in their breeches at this
moment"
At this juncture followers of c. s..
Roop, opposing instructed delegates,
started over toward the section occu-
pied by adherents of Delegate Sum-
mers, but order quickly was restored.
A vote finally was reached shortly be-
fore midnight.

disposition upon the part of many
to fill the bins and take no more

siderable coal being moved now, it IS
claimed, over lines that have hitherto
been lacking in the product. More
coal is said to be moving north where
