Victory in South.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, September 14.-Com-
menting on the Georgia primary, Sena-
tor Pat Harrison of Mississippi last
night expressed himself as curious to
know what the Republican committee.
which has been saying so much about
the Maine election. is saying about the
election in Atlanta"
Every one should know that the
Democratic committee made no fight in
Maine, while the Republicans sent prac-
tically every prominent speaker there, "
Senator Harrison pointed out.
THE Republican majoritieS in Maine
are like the Democratic majorities in
Mississippi, where we can give MAORI
ties of 10000 as formerly, or 100000,
depending on the efforts of the organ
-ization to get the vote OUT
Declaring that no one will be deceived
by the Maine returns, the Mississippi
Senator added: But in Atlanta, Repub-
licans have been laying great claims of
carrying that district through the NOM
ination of Upshaw, who bolted the
Democratic ticket and was making a
strong appeal. He received every as
sistance from those opposing Democratic
leadership in his district.
There the Democratic opposition
chose their strongest man, selected the
most strategic point, made their strong
est fight, and met overwhelming de-
feat"
The results in Georgia portend
sweeping Democratic victory i'll the
South in November, Senator Harrison
declared. lie quoted wire from the
Democratic committee in Atlanta which
said:
unless something unforeseen occurs

give normal Democratic majority No

REED RE|TERATES
HOOVER CHARGES
ReneWs Claim That Nomi-
nee Aided Britain by Fix
ing Wheat Prices.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, September 14.-Senator
James A. Reed of Missouri, at Demo-
cratic national headquarters here yes
terday, reiterated his charge that Her.
bert Hoover while he was national food
administrator during the war fixed the
price of American farm products for
the benefit of Great Britain.
Senator Reed arrived from Wisconsin,
where he has been ON a fishing trip, to
work out at the speakers bureau today
the itinerary for his speaking tour for
Gov. Smith. He will open the campaign
in Kansas, he said. probably September
10. the night after Gov Smiths Omaha
speech. but he did not know where his
speech would be delivered.
IT think 1t is true" Senator Reed
said. "that the farmer of the United
States realizes today the fact that dur
ing the war, when everybody elSe-al-
most everybody else at any rate-waS'
making money at war prices Mr.. Hoover
closed the market on him and COM
PEELED him to sell at the price Mr..
Hoover set, and then gave the benefit
of that price to Great Britain"
Senator Reed charged that Hoover
helped to create a single purchasing
agency for the allies, before the United
States entered the war; the object of
which Senator Reed said was to fore
stall the market by holding all the al
lies out as purchasers until the price
would be broken. Senator Reed charged
that after the United States entered the
war Hoover organized the Export Grain
Corporation and, by using his power to
issue and revoke licenses to domestic
grain dealers. fixed price by which tho
Export Grain Corporation dealt with
the allies purchasing agency.
I'm other words. he came over here
from Great Britain. having previously
been the consulting agency of Great
Britain in the matter of controlling
prices, and, having gained control of
our market through his power to
license, he fixed the price of American
farm products for the benefit Of Great
Britain. the country in which he had
lived for % years. and fixed 1t against
the country which he had remained out
of for % years and in which he had
never cast vote. This Is all a record
of fact"

ator after group of young men from

President"
The best way to perpetuate the
Democratic party" he explained, "and
free 1t from the millstones that have
held 1t down for so many years is to
defeat Smith. I am not going to vote
for Smith. I have offered my support
to the anti-Smith movement and will
assist them to the full extent of my
power"
The Senator appealed for the preser-
vatlon OF the Democratic party through
the youth OF the South, freeing the sec
ton from "the shackles of Tammany

The Senator explained that his DO
sitlon would not permit him to do more
than not to vote for Smith, declaring.
That's as far as my position will lei
me go.
From the some 1.5O0 letters I have
received would feel safe in saying that
