Baylor, Peeved Over
Arrest at Columbus,
Files Election Contest

II. Bedinger Baylor, of Sans SOuci
castle, of Atlanta, candidate for gov
ernor of Georgia in the last election,
has filed a formal contest of the
election with the Georgia state SEN
ate.
IN his contest Mr.. Baylor declares
that his arrest at Columbus on a
charge of being drunk when he
didn't have a drop in his stomach"
was a political frame-up and con-
spiracy to keep him in Jail until aft
err the primary election so as to pre-
vent his campaign tour Of the state.
He insists that he lost 100000 votes
through this Outrage" and these
votes would have made him COVER
nor of the state.
Mr.. Baylor further charges that
"Fiddln' John" Carson was employ
ed by his opponents to go to the va
rious polls in Atlanta singing:
I'm a Walker man from the sOles
of my shoes to the top of my hat.
"And one of the candidates was ar
rested in Columbus for all of that"
Mr.. Baylor insists that this was
taking an unfair advantage of him,
and he lost additional votes through
the work Of Carson. He states that
he will appear before the senate in
person to push his contest.

known in Memphis where, accord

Efforts to locate an unidentified
man who today summoned an am

War Babies Inferior
In Mind and Body Finds
London School Head

LONDON, June 16.-Children born
during the war years are mentally
inferior to others, according to the
headmistress of a large London
school.
School age is just arriving for the
babies who entered the world when
it was in flames. These youngsters
were deprived of nourishing food
Their mothers had been denied prop
err prenatal sustenance, according to
members Of a teachers conference
which recently considered the prob
lem.
Especially in the areas subject to
German air raids the neurotic con-
dition of children is giving rise to
alarm. During the latter days Of the
war Londoners were robbed of many
hours, of sleep by nocturnal visits of
German bombers. Adults have re-
cuperated from their temporary ABB
stinence from rest. For the babies,
the lob has been too much.

LOANS ON PEANUTS
BY FEDERAL BANKS
ASSURED GEORC|ANS
Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
403 Evans Building.
BY THEODORE TII4EER

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 16.--
Correcting an erroneous impression
circulated in a Georgia newspaper,
Judge Charles e. Lobdell, of the
Federal farm loan board, today
wrote Senator Walter F. George, of
Georgia, that peanuts had been in
cluded in staple agricultural prod
ucts on which intermediate credit
banks may make loans under the
provisions of the Lenroot-Anderson
farm credits bill.
Fhe Georgia Peanut Growers Coop
erative association recently adopted
resolutions protesting against the
reported exclusion of peanuts. This
erroneous impression was gained be-
caus of a Washington dispatch in
an Atlanta morning newspaper.
1.-THE preliminary rules and regu-
lations," Chairman Lobdell of the
Farm Loan board writes to Sena-
tor George, promulgated by the
farm loan board for the operation
of the federal intermediate credit
banks include peanuts in staple
agricultural products"
Georgia peanut growers had be-
come alarmed over the reported adj

Judge Shepard Bryan, of Atlanta,
attorney for the association, brought
to its attention a Washington dis
patch in a morning Atlanta paper
saying that 1.-The federal farm
loan board by an arbitrary ruling
has declared that peanuts could not
Qualify for consideration by the
banks which will be established for
the purpose of administering the
measure"
Judge Bryan at the time expressed
doubt about the accuracy of the in
formation and while accrediting the
writer of the article with honesty
of purpose, said he evidently had
been misinformed. Both at the treas
ury and agricultural departments.
Judge Bryan said he had gained no
such impression regarding the rul-
ing on peanuts.
Senator George wrote Chairman
Lobdell for official information, ex-
pressing an intention to come to
Washington and appear before the
board if peanuts had been excluded.
Judge Lobdell's reply today shows
that peanuts were not excluded and
they may be used as security for ag-
ricultural loans under the recent
rural credits legislation passed by
congress.

Although placed on the superan-
nuated list by the North Georgia

then he has filled it's pulpit on a
'noer of occasions, and has other

SWEEP OF DEMOCRATIC "WET'
TIDE FAILS TO MATERIALIZE

various other leaders have said so.
| The G.. o. p. will stand on platform
for prohibition enforcement up to
the hilt.
1t is also certain that various wet
elements within the Democratic par
| ty-and some of these elements have
great influence-will make an effort
to capture the Democratic conVen-
ton of 1924 both in the matter OF
platform declarations and the NAM
ing of candidate of exceedingly lib
eral views.
But, disappointing as it may be
to the wet adherents even the most
casual survey shows that the Dem
ocratic party nationally will repulSe
all wet onslaughts and will come be-
fore the people almost, if not quite,
as dry as the Republicans.
1t is all very well to say that
wet Democratic andidate-carrylng
few of the populous states OF the
east and the solid sOuth-could be
elected to the presidency; it is all
very we'll to assume that the south
! will vote for Democrat, be he wet
or DE he dry, but the amateur poll
ticians who are fixing things so
beautifully have first got to figure
Democratic nomination over the pro-
test of the dry west and the still
dryer south.
TwO-Third Necessary
1t requires two-thirds vote to
win the Democratic presidential
nomination.
There is absolutely no possibility
of two-thirds of the delegates to the
next Democratic convention being
wet, or even moderately damp. 1t
is doubtful if even One-third will be
wet or damp. Therefore there will
issue from the convention neither
wet platform nor a wet candidate.
This situation is thoroughly under
stood by the old hands at the Demo
cratic wheel.
1t is admitted that if he were phys
ically capable, Woodrow Wilson
might win a third Democratic nomi-
nation but he is the only moderately
wet person who could. In Wilson's
case, the larger policies to which he
would be expected to devote himself
would outweigh his liberal views on
prohibition.
The wet enthusiasm of the east
wakes warm every now and then as
New York, New Jersey or Massachu-
sets does some wet thing, but all
of this enthusiasm fades when met
by the facts of a cold analysis.
This much can be put down as GER
tain. There can be no change in the
national prohibition laws until some
section of the country known as
dry territory turns completely
around and becomes wet. They have
always been regarded as wet in SEN
timent. Their continuing to make
wet moves means absolutely nothing
to the great stretches of country
which have been dry for many years.
When Iowa or Kansas or Nebraska
or Georgia vote wet, then the anti
prohibitionists can indeed take heart
In other. words, it, will require a
change in dry sentiment to make the
country damp. There has been no
such change.
The prohibition people are so
pleased with the situation in the
United States today that number
of them are sailing soon for Copen-
hagen, where they hope to lay plans
to make the whole world dry. Old
Mr. Volstead himself is going, and
Wayne B. Wheeler and e. c. Din
Widdie and lots of others.
Perhaps the wet mice will play
while the dry cats are away, but
they won't get very far.

Cattle, Eating Boil
Weevil Poison, Die

MOULTRIE, Ga, June 10 - A
number of cattle have been killed in
this section during the past few
days by eating cotton on which cal
cium arsenate and other poisons had
been placed to check the r9vages of
the boil weevi. One man is said to
have lost several Zine milk COWS.
They broke into a field and grazed
on cotton that had been busted with
a weevil poison, and died a few
hours later, all efforts to save them
proving unavailing. In this connec-
ton, veterinarians here have issued
a warning to farmers about the han
ding of calcium arsenate. 1T is even
claimed that empty sacks if burned,
will leave enough of the poison in
the ashes to kill animals that might
lick them.

P. Platform to Be Built on
Bone-Dry Issue
BY ROBERT T. SMALL
Ueased Wire Service TO The Journal.l
Downright. 1928.


WASHINGTON. June 15.-The
tide of "wetness" which many per-
sons thought would sweep the coun-
try on the heels of Governor Al
Smiths action in signing the dry
law repeater in New York state has
signalIy failed to materlallze.
Even Governor Smith himself has
found it necessary to drop the init
nation to some of his more enthu-
siastic followers that "the general
sentiment of the country still seems
to be dry"
An attempt to rush a dry law re-
pealer through the Illinois legisla-
ture came to grief. A similar at
tempt in Supposedly wet Wisconsin
has been met with a significant de-
lay.
Governor Smiths arrival at French
Lick. Ind, has not found any violent
movement in progress to- make him
the wet candidate for president of
the United States on the Democratic
ticket. On the other hand, even so
damp an enthusiast as Tom Tag
gart himself has issued a statement
saying that Indiana is for Senator
Samuel l.. Ralston, first, last and
all the time-and Senator RalSton is
a dry.
Indiana has been hospitable to
Governor Smith. but it has let him
know in several significant ways
that Indiana Democracy will not join
in the making of a wet presidential
candidate nor in any attempt to null
lily the eighteenth amendment; when
a man like Tom Taggart let's it be
known that he will have nothing to
do with movement to liberaliZe the
Democratic platform, it can be seen
that the hopes of the pronounced
'wets" in this direction are doomed
to the direst sort of failure.
Taggart Not "Wet'
Although Taggart for years has
been regarded as a liberal of the lib
erals, it is recalled that when Indiana
first voted dry it was due to Tag
CARTS influence. in throwing the
Democratic members of the legisla-
ture to the arid side that brought
about the states first prohibition
law 1t is possible that Taggart may
have diff erent views on the modifi-
cation of the Volstead act. but if he
mas ne mas never OlScIOSe0 lnem
publicly. 1t is certain that he does
not believe the Democratic party
can afford to Chamber aboard a wet
at this time.
The developments of the week in
Indiana. Illinois and Wisconsin are
both significant and interesting.
They indicate very plainly that a
wet wave cannot get very far from
the northern Atlantic seaboard.
Therefore the freely-made predic-
lions of the last few days that the
next presidential campaign will be
fought out on the wet and dry ques-
ton, leaving other national and in
ternational issues in the discard, are
not based upon knowledge of con-
ditions in the country at large.
It is conceded that the Republican
party will be bone dry in the next
campaign. President Harding and
