CROWDS HONOR
DEAD CHIEF
Simple Services For u. S.
Senator Watson; Follow
ers Gather for Last Rite.

Thomson, Ca, Sept. 28.-(By the
Associated Press.)-Beneath a. clear
SIX. and blazing Jun the body Of Unit
ed States Senator Thomas E. Watson
was buried today in McDuffie county
as thousands of his countrymen from
Georgia's backwoods united with
prominent officials and leaders in
paying a last tribute to his memory.
Brief and simple were the funeral
services at Hickory Hill" the Wat
son nome, but every honor within the
province of the town was paid the de-
parted senator.
Thomson. a typical Georgia village
with its few stores, %postoffice bank
and print shop, nearly all located on
the main street, early today became
the mecca of the Sage Of McDuf-
1e's' followers. They came in auto
mobiles, others behind mules and
horses, while some trod many miles
OF dusty roads that they might gaze
for the last time on the features Of
their chieftain who died Tuesday in
Washington.
Many are the occasions when Wat
SON. trains were met by large crowds,
cheering and welcoming a man who
a short time later was to bend their
Will to his fancy with a flow Of elo-
Quent language. But today the vast
assembly at the little station here
stood silent and with heads barred as
the funeral party arrived shortly be-
fore noon.
The streets were lined with people
from the station to Hickory HILL"
on the outskirts of the village, as the
body was conveyed to the residence
where Watson spent many years of
his turbulent career.
The body was to be taken direct
from the station to the Watson home
where the funeral service is to be
held. 1nterment was to be in Thomson
cemetery.

Record In Office To
North Dakota Voters

Nestos, pointing 10 future problems to
be met by the administration
Coming into power when the state
was torn by Ill feeling, facing a de-
moralized state government in many
respects. the governor called attention
to efforts. made by his administration
to put the ship Of state back on an
even keel and cited what he believes
arc accomplishments of the last ten
months h Independent a%dnlinistra-
ton has been in power.
Discusses Senatorial Contest.
Departing from his discussion of
state issues to speak of the senatorial
contest, Governor Nestos said:
"Sometimes issues arise that tran
scend mere partisan consideration.
They are beyond self interest, beyond
mere party interest, as that is superb
cially interpreted and reach the very
fundamentals of the citizenship and
of constitutional government. On
these issues all good citizens stand to-
gether. We rise from the lower levels
Of personal and selfish strife, ascend
to a plane on which upon these great
fundamentals we stand together"
"There is going on in the United
States today a struggle that involves
the existence Of the fundamental prin-
ciples of the constitution inc of the
republican form of government. The
forces Of r~adicalis1n are massed
against the forces Of constitutional
ism. The one or the other must go
down. We have fought the fight in
u state for five years and are fight
Ing it today. We won the first battle
when the Infamous house bill No. "A
which sought to eliminate any refer
ence to patriotism and morality from
the constitution, was defeated. not
withstanding the support given it by
Mr.. Frazier and Mr.. Lemkc.
Prefers Ballot To Sword.
Upon these great and fundamental
principles I plant my feet %squarely
upon the the ground occupied BY the
fathers of the Republic and by the
founders of the Republican party. I
have always preferred to believe that
the Republican party represented
something more than mere desire for
office holding. 1 have always as
sumed that it stood for certain funda-
mental principles of government as
wei! as principles of administrative
policy. One of these principles,
which in my judgment constituted the
cornerstone OF its existence, is respect
for law and obedience to the man
dates of the constitution. The Re-
publican party is the historical cham
pion of the republican form Of gov
eminent. The essence Of the repub-
lican form of government is that the
people shall have unhanpered oppor-
!tunity- to express their will through
the ballot box and that the minority
}should obey. theSlaw enacted by such a
majority and act according to its pre-
scribed forms. Appeal to the sword
and to revolutionary violence cannot
exist side by side with devotion to the
principles Of our republican form of

PUBLIC RECREATION
IN STATE PARKS.

The movement to establish state
parks in Louisiana as public recrea-
tion grounds is meeting the euthusi-
astic support Of Commissioner N. L.
Alexander of the Department Of Con-
servation. The establishment Of such
parks 10 being considered in every
section OF the country, and Mr.. Alex
ander holds that Louisiana possesses
advantages for the establishment o(
such parks not possessed by any 9TH
or section. Reforestation of denuded
lands has long attracted the attention
of Mr.. Alexander and he has used
every effort to secure regfowth cn
cutover lands. He considers state
parks means to this end. besides
the other advantages Of such parks.
There are cutoyer tracts of land in
Louisiana Of great natural beauty,
beauty marred by the an of the
woodsman or by the blfghting touch
Of forest fire. The selection OF such
. place for q state recreation ground
would mean regrowth on these spots
to restore their beauty, and this
would be step forward IN reforesta-
tion. which must be practiced in
Louisiana on broad scale in the
near future, unless the state Is to
lose the immense revenue 1t has en-.
joyed from the lumber trade. Mr..
Alexander urges the economic value
Of selecting some of these cutover
lands as state parks. The necessary
land could be secured at small cost
and with very little assistance nature
would soon beautify the spot. Trees
are usually associated In the public
mind with parks, and tree growth IL
absolutely necessary to the future
prosperity Of Louisiana There are.
Of course. tracts Of land already wood
ed suitable for such parks, but there
will be found an advantage In some
localities in selecting cutover lands
Tor the purpose. The destruction of
the virgin forests had reached point
whore somsthing must be. done for
their re-establishment. and both soil
and climate in Louisiana make the
work much easier than In less favor
cd regions, where the people have
gone actively at work already in the
establishment Of state parks, Michi-
gan having established - Of them.
The adoption Of Mr.. Alexander's
idea would result In plan primarily

tional being made Of decided economic
value to the state and its people. for
