Mississippi Executive
Asks Governors to Aid
Cotton Growing Farmers

JACKSON Miss, Sept 80. - (AP) -
With Mississippi gins closing until
better prices can be obtained for cot
ton, and farmers rushing the picking
that they may market their crop before
prices drop further, Gov Harry L.
Whitfield today called upon the gov
ernors of cotton producing states to
rally to the aid of the farmers.
"The rapid decline of the price of
cotton within the last five weeks has
brought the price below the cost OF
production" the governor said in
letter sent to other southern eXecu-
tives, urging them to appoint delega-
tion to meet at central point to dis
cuss plans for alleviating the situation,
The governor suggested as means
of balancing the genuine demand for
cotton with the supply the formation
of pools in every southern state with
sufficient capital to take the surplus
off the current market.

Democratic Senatorial

Continuing Criticism

PROVIDENCE, r. T., Set 80 CAP
The prophesy of "soup Kitchens
in New England cities to feed fac
tory workers this winter, and severe
criticism of the republican campaign
issue of nationwide prosperity, were
made in a statement issued here to-
day by United States Senator Gerry
national chairman of the democratic
senatorial campaign committee.
The statement declared that "it is
significant that President Coolidge is
now very anxious to be regarded as
outside the campaign. Several days
ago Senator Lawrence c. Phipps, nu-
tional chairman of the republican
senatorial campaign committee, an
nounced that the sole issue" this
year was whether the electors want
ed to sustain President Coolidge or
not.
"Then he diped with President
Coolidge and what was the result!
Yesterday Senator Phipps made a
new announcement of the campaign
issues and the fate of MIR. Coolidge
was not mentioned among them Is
it too much to suppose that Mr..
Coolidge told Senator Phipps he did
not want his fate determined by elec'
tions that give every promise of re-
sulting in a democratic landslide?"
Senator Gerrys statement said there
was no basis of fact for the claim
of nation wide prosperity "substitu-
