FARM RELIEF BILL. i.
TEST VOTE POINTS
TO CERTAIN DEFEAT

WASHINGTON, May 31.-Defeat
of the McNary-Haugen farm relief
bill was forecast tonight when its
opponents forced adjournment of the
house just when a final vote seemed
near by vote of $50 to 1876.
Throughout the afternoon and ear
ly evening, farm bloc leaders expe-
dited consideration of the bill defeat
ing all amendments and overriding
the persistent efforts Of opponents to
filibuster.
On account of the absence OF SO or
60 eastern members known to be or'-
posed to the bill, farm leaders saw in
today's session the only possible op-
portunity to pass the bill.
For a long time they resisted all
attempts to postpone a final vote un-
til next week when the absentees
would be present, and pressed for
ward anxiously with consideration OF
the measure.
Opponents, however, finally round
ed up sufficient of the absent ones to
restore the majority against the bill
and the house adjourned Immediately
upon completion Of the reading.
The vote will now come Monday.

"Mr. McAdoo continues his
triumphant march toward the Dem
ocratic presidential nomination"
Hollins n. Randolph, chairman of
the Georgia McAdoo delegation and
prominent southern McAdoo leader,
said in a statement Saturday sum-
ming up the McAdoo situation.
Mississippi, with her 20 votes,

Underwood forces in that state made
a vigorous fight for an instructed
delegation. His campaign there, as
elsewhere, was i dismal failure. The
Mississippi state convention not
only refused to instruct their dele

which means that Mississippis 20
votes will go to McAdoo on the first
ballot, because at least 16 of the Mis-
sissippi delegates are outspoken Nc
Adoo supporters.
1.-THE first ballot Of the conven-
ton will be one of the most inter
esting in the history of the Demo
cratic party. There will be presented
the names of at least 16 candidates,
counting 3 favorite sons in addi-
ton to McAdoo, Smith and Under.

lots have been cast for the favorite
sons will come the real tug-ofswar
between McAdoo, Governor Smith,
Of New York, and Senator Under

conference by one jurisdiction with
in the bounds of the other Jurlsd1c-
ton. For it is plainly stated in the
contract that no new annual con-
ference. mission conference, or mis-
sion can be organized by Jurls-
dictional conference except with the
approval of the general conference.
Which is to say that the northern
jurisdiction cannot organize any new
work in the south without the con-
sent of the majority of the south
ern delegates in the general confer
ence. For one, l am entirly willing
to trust the majority Of delegates
from my own Jurisdiction.
q. And Furthermore, such work is
now in competition with better or
ganized and stronger churches, will
soon be absorbed. For it is certain
that there will be one united board
Of missions for unified Methodism.
1t is written in tho bond that all
the work on the foreign field is i'm
mediately to be consolidated. And 1t
is also written that general confer
ence Of the united church shall have
power to govern any enterprises
which may be agreed upon as being
of a. correctional character The
nine bishops on the unifiCation com
mission who favor unlfication, in the
address prepared by them in the
name of the commission, had the fol.
lowing to say by way of explaining
the above item:
1T will be Immediately evident
that the evangelization Of needy
fields here in America, both in our
cities and in our rural districts, does
constitute an enterprise which is
correctional in character. The sug-
gested plan, then, will give each
jurisdiction the opportunity of study
isdictions will address themselves to
the one task of giving the gospel to
the lost in the home field
Joint Mission Board
Overlapping and duplication and
waste and competition will soon
cease when a joint board Of missions,
governed by the general conference,
which governs only by the majority
vote of each jurisdiction, studies the
whole needy field and votes apprO-
priations only where they are most
needed and will do hte most good.
49, And besides all this, when we
have one church, with one name,
working in one interest, the very inn
pulse and desire for competition will
be taken away. For why should
united Methodism wish to compete
with itself?
Another thing I wish to say. 1t
is only official pressure that has kept
the two MethOdisms apart for so
many years. Southern Methodists,
going north, find themselves per-
fectly at home in the Methodist
Episcopal church there; while north
ern Methodists coming south, find
themselves equally at home in the
southern church. We are already
one people. And in all the border
states where the two churches work
side by side, our distressed Method
lists (north and SOUTH are anxiously
waiting for those in authority to
give the word, so that a union may
be properly effected. Bishops and
correctional men have held back
this union too long already. Our
people are not going to be held back
any longer. Some Of them have al
ready spoken. Presently we shall
hear the others. And they will speak
with g voice which will AXE itself

Big Delegations Split
"Thus at glance it will be seen
that early in the balloting, McAdoo
will have so nearly the requisite two
thirds majority that nothing can stop
him. Inasmuch as the big delega'
tions of New York, Pennsylvania, IL

will be joined by many delegates
from those states who are his warm
friends and supporters.
cit will not take many ballots TO
put McAdoo so near the tWo-thlfds
majority that Indiana with her 81
votes can put him across the line
That this will happen is not doubted
by close observers, because of the
warm friendship between McAdoc
and Ralston. They are admirers OF
each other, their friendship is of long
standing, and they recently confer
red and dined together in Washing

"When it is understood that Geor-

ly a majority on the first ballot,
when it is seen that he is the logical
second choice of most of the favorlte
son delegations, and when it Is re-
mem bered that Wilson, on the first
ballot at Baltimore, had only 81
votes, we can rejoice that we stand
already in sight of the realization OF
our cherished ambition to place. a

Georgia should be proud OF the
historic and momentous part she
plaved in placing Mr.. McAdoo in his
