INTO NOMINATION

Character Squares With
Tenets of Party.
BY the Associated Press.

HOUSTON, June 28~-Georgia pre-
sented Walter F. George, her junior
United States Senator, to the Demo-
| cratic national convention last night as
the man prominently fitted for the
Democratic nomination for President Of
| this nation"
! The nominating speech was by Rep
| resentatiye Charles r. Crisp of Georgia
| veteran of the House, who declared
| that 1.-The South believes that the place
of birth of a candidate should no longer
| stand AS a bar and that her place in
| the Nation and the party merits that
a Southern man be nominated for
President of the United States"
THE South makes no sectional de-
mand," Representative Crisp said, but
in the council of Democracy she con-
fdently makes her plea for considera-
ton and reminds the representatives
of the national Democracy that when
the fame of Democracy has grown am
elsewhere, 1t has but burned the bright
or in the Southern States.
Democratic Georgia Covets the honor
Of naming this Southern American
presidential nominee because We believe
we have the man best qualified for the
high office.
With Georgia's Great.
"The statesman whose name I pre-
sent to you is fit to rank with Georgia S
former great. He is man of so years
of age. and therefore came into public
life after the passing Of the passions
and preiudices following the war be-
tween the States which in the proyi-
dence of God may never be famed into
fury again, and therefore possesses
without any bitterness the depth of
soul. the breadth of vision, the broad
ness of mind. and the integrity OF
intellect which would enable him as
President of the United States, In his
study of great questions and issues at
fecting the public, to eliminate all sec
tionalism and TO act faithfully and i'm
partially for the welfare and best in
terest of all the people of this Nation
IF elected, all classes of our citi-
zens. irrespective of their States Of resi-
dence. whether rich or poor. exalted or
humble, famous or obscure, flnancier
or farmer, will receive equal and fair
treatment at his hands. II called by
his fellow citizens to the high Office
of President, there will be no discrim-
nation on his part in favor Of the
classes against the masses"
Reciting Georges career from a
farm boy to high position in his own
State as jurist and then shifting the
scenes to picture his services as a
statesman since taking his seat in the
Senate. Crisp said: Il present to you,
my fellow countrymen, the man pre-
eminently fitted for the Democratic
nomination for President of this Ma
ton. Georgia's Junior United States
Senator the Hon. Walter F. George"
Raps G.. o. L. Rule.
Crisp took occasion to inyeigh against
the rule of the Republican party, de-
claring that never in the history of
our country has it been as imperative
that the Democrats be restored to
power
"For eight years the Republican party
has been in control of all branches Of
government, and today millions of citi-
zens. Democrats and -principled
Republicans alike, hang their heads in
shame because Of base. sordid and
shameless betrayal of public trust by
high Republican officials, both Federal
and State" Crisp charged This cor
ruption, thievery and attempted de-
hatchery of the electorate by the use
OF colossal sums of money--thank God
without parallel In the history of our
beloved country-has aroused the pub
lie conscience TO the point of bitter in
dignation against the party responsible
for it,
Under the Republican rule in Wash
ington today we have an all-power-
full, domineering and dictatorial central
Government which. through a swarm
of Federal agents, is Sapping the life
Of private initiative, and no private
business is free from their inquiSitorial
officiousness.
The Federal Government now as
sumes jurisdiction over the private af-
fairs OF It's citizens, before birth and
until after death. The Government is
one of bureaucracy run wild, carried
to absurdity. Departmental clerks in
washington, Of no business acumen and
with little experience, are debating to
great executives and able and expert
enced business men how they shall
manage their private affairs.
Interests Dominate.
Special interests dominate legisla-
ton favorable to their financial gain.
and Washington and the Capitol are
infested with lobbyists.
