The appointment of Mrs. w. H.
FELTON,, of Gainesville, to be United
States senator ad interim, succeed
ing temporarily the late Senator
Thomas e. Watson, gives Georgia
the distinction of being the first of
the states of the union to inscribe
the name of woman on the rolls
Of the United States senate, aptly
termed the greatest deliberative body
in the world. '
Governor Hardwick, in announc-
ing Mrs. Felton's appointment, made
it clear that she will serve until
the election of a permanent success
sor to Senator Watson in the gen
eral elections of November. The
special primary of October II will

Of being represented in the United

inability to serve.

MRS. W. H. FELTON, FIRST WOMAN u. s. SENATOR
SAVED BY
WAR CORPORATION,
\ WALLACE DECLARES

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Oct. s.
Broadening of the powers Of the
war finance corporation had caused
feeling of renewed confidence to
sweep the country, Secretary Wal
lace, of tn department of agricul-
ture, declared today in outlining be-
fore a meeting of farmers and bust
ness men the obstacles which stood
in the path Of agricultural develop
ment before the corporation was re-
vived and the federal reserve act
amended. Money became easier to
obtain, he declared, adding that
, more liberal policy on arm loans
was generally adopted; the sacrific-
ings of grain and live stock was
checked and the hope of the farm
ers was renewed"
The story of the service rendered
by this agency, Mr.. Wallace contin-|
ued, serves, to illustrate the impor-
t lce of taking the affirmation rath-
er than the negative view in times
difficulty. There were many peo-
pie who were disposed to accept
the disastrous break in farm prices
Us inevitable and impossible to re-
lieve by government action.
They were people of the same
mind as those ,ious- folks in days
gone by who looked upon death in
hn 70 A,,L ~,
phoid fever as visitation OF the
wrath of Divine Providence, and not
at all as a thing which they might
save avoided by an observance of
the now well known laws of SANTA
ton and health.
The law which created the fed.
eral reserve board" the secretary
ccntinued, provided that in ap-
pointing members of that board the
president should have due regard to
" fair representation of the differ
emf commercial, industrial ard geo.
graphic divisions of the country.
congress, however, passed a law
amending the federal reserve act, by
provided that the members the
president shall have due regard to
fair presentation of the finan-
clal, agricultural, industrial and
commercial interests There was
some opposition to this amendment
by those who felt that the result
would be to weaken the federal re-
serve board, and that a provision
for agricultural representation had
the appearance of class representa-
ton; Congress properly, however,
acted upon the theory that this fed
eral reserve board is the most pow
erful financial institution in the
country; that the manner in which
it administers it's credit machinery
can make or unmake any business
or industry; that agriculture being
the basic industry of TIE country,
the industry on which our entire
civilization depends, should have
ore careful consideration than it
has had in the past" '.'.'

make any financial sacriftc to
comply with their wishes, but I
have assumed obligations to
clients which will require sew

perform these obligations, and l
cannot disregard them.

ored me by their support, and
whom I devotedly love to serve.
With sincere regret that l
cannot comply with their wishes,
l am forced to decline to allow
my name presented.

day, but at the request Of Atlanta
