President-Elect's Message :.
 To People of the South

tune must be founded and at the same time maintain American standards or production and American standards or living unless we make other peoples with lower standards pay for the -priv- ilege of trading in the American mar ket Ours is the best market Tn the world, because we are largest Tn con sumption and the ablest to buy. The application lies in perfectly Justiri- able ambition to make the southland as industriaIly eminent as the states of the north and east There ought to be the flame of industry here Tn exceptional significance because or vour vast natural resources Your people want precisely the same things which are found in the natural ainpl- tions of the north and west There isn't the slightest excuse for sec tional line in America. We are one people, with one flag, and 1t IS toily to allow longtime prejudices to stand in the way of the fullness of under standing and the utmost cordiaiity or relationship.
 ALL STAND TOGETHER
 The people of the south are Just as much interested as any other geo graphical location in the development of an American merchant marine'
 
 out of o11r greater ability to produce, and out of our boasted American ef- ficiency ought to came American emi- hence in worldwide trade. We ought to send our cargoes from southland ports just as numerously as we do from northern and western ports. Of course, as general rule, we cannot sell where we do not buy, but with rational economic policy safeguarded in protective tariffs, we can buy the things. the production of which is not essential to our own good fortune, and expand our trade with those or whom we buy to supply our own needs which cannot be supplied here at home.
 I am sure the incoming admins tration wishes to see. figurauveiy speaking, every southern port whitened by the sails of commerce. and know that our carriers are tax ing messages of good will and amity along with our cargoes to all the marts of the earth.

 Atlanta, January 2l.-A new spirit oi united Americanism. holding itself above sectional and partisan divisions and mak- ing secure the industries of the whole nation alike, was bespoken by President elect Harding tonight in message te thes people of the south.
 The message, written at the request ol Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta Con stitution, and democratic national com mitteeman for Georgia, was made public here on the arrival of the train which is taking the President t-elect to Florida It follows:
 Of course, have no message to the people of the south that I wouNi not gladly utter to all the United States. Perhaps the south would be interested to know, however, of one ambition which I cherish. l want to be the instrumentality in establishing tfat complete concord of union which l hold to be essential to the American fIlfillment I realize how the politi- cal solidarity of the south followed the unfortunate days of the CIVIL war. l know that solidarity has been encouraged on the one hand, ano think I understand the desire 10 break it on the other hand.
 It is not specifically republican administration. It Is rather to be ac- credited to a desire to establish com plete mutuality of purpose and one ness of ambition in America.
 OLD HOSTILITY GONE
 There is little left of the old-time hostility and there isn't any occasion for any section of America to pin it's as- pirations to the fortunes of one party, I think it is fair to assume that all political parties mean to be best Tor our common country. As a republican I believe that many of the republican policies are calculated to best serve all of America. For instance, believe there is a great significance in the coming tariff congress to be held In Atlanta. I believe most cordially in prospering America first do not | seA how we can retain our home mar kets upon which American good for
