HOOVER CITIZENSHIP
IS ASSAILED BY REED
Senator Charges Candidate
"Schemed" to Have England DOM
mate U. S. Merchant Marine.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, October Ex-senator
James A. Reed, Democrat, of Missouri,
said in an address here tonight that
Herbert Hoovers American citizenship
Is so much in doubt that it requires
certif1cation," and charged that eff Mr..
Hoover's scheme had gone through, our
great merchant marine would have been
under the command of the British i'm
medlately following the World War"
Reed said Hoover suggested that all
American ships and nearly all the ships
OF the allies should be placed under the
control OF q director, or relief and also
proposed that he (Hoover) should be
the director general of relief"
But it did not stop there" the SEN
ator stated. Mr.. Hoover further sug-
gested that the director general should
be under control of the Supreme War
Council. That is to say, Hoover, as
director general was to be merely a
tool Of the Supreme War Council,
which, OF course, was dominated by
Great Britain. The real control of
American ships and trades would thus
be placed in British hands"
Reed said Edward NJ Hurley, chair
man of the United States Shipping
Board saw through the infamous plot
and laid it bare before President VIII
son." who later ''repudiated the Hoover
scheme"
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon also
was attacked by the Senator, who said
Mellon was responsible for a tax of
IL cents per pound and SIS per cent
ad valorem tax on aluminium cooking
utensils brought into this country
Mellon, Reed said, owns the aluminium
industry in this country and gouges
from the pockets of every American
housewife through his office as a men,
Der of the cabinet"

BARRETT TO QUIT
Il AS FARMER HEAD
Georgian 10 Retire From
Union at Denver Conven-
ton November 20.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, Ca, october 27.-After
% years Of continuous service as presi-
dent of the National Farmers Union,
Charles S. Barrett of Union City, Ga,
announced here today that he will
retire from the head of the organiza-
ton at the time of the national con-
vention at Denver November 20.
II feel that I have earned the
privilege of less strenuous life than is
required at the head of the Farmers
Union" said Mr. Barrett During %
years Of continuous service I have been
permitted to lead this group of Ameri-
can farmers into great accomplish
ments. Let me point out few easily
proved facts.
>t Praises Organization.
To-day we have the greatest live
stock marketing organization in the
world. Our creameries are numerous
and in most instances doing a good
business. Our banks are well managed
and operating safely and profitably.
Great numbers of warehouses and ele-
vatorS are doing a satisfactory and safe
insurance companies are not only pro-
tecting policy holders, but are saving
thein vast sums of money. Our coop
erative buying has grown until we con-
tract for complete factory outputs of
various lines OF supplies. The idea of
cooperative buying end selling has
grown into such practice by more and
more farmers until the annual volume
OF farmers union business reaches close
to billion dollars,
Much has been said by those who feel
themselves capable of attending to their
own affairs and the intricate affairs of
the farmers, as well. After % years of
witness, i still hold that it Is up to the
farmers TO work out their own salvation
rather than turn the job over to the
Others One of the big issues of today
is the farm problem. Nearly every
body is giving time and thought to it,
The farmer has literally millions of
friends, and want to say in this con-
nection that more has been done for the
farmer, which he never got, than was
ever done for any other class in the
history Of the world.
Ask Reasonable Profit.
Farmers do not ask for special ia
vors. They simply insist that they
should realize a reasonable profit from
the products Of their toll, and when
these profits are deposited in their
pockets, that they shall not have their
pockets picked by discriminatory legis-
lation."
Mr.. Barrett was born in Georgia. He
was the representative of agriculture at
the peace conference in Paris at the
close Of the World War Upon retiring
Mr. Barrett expects to devote part of
his time to writing on the discussion of
national problems, especially relating to
the ag icultural field His residence in
Georgia will be continued. but his gem
eral headquarters will be in Washington

|RASKOB BEL|TTLES
DIGEST VOTE POLL
"The Enemy Is on the Rum"
Democratic Chairman'S
Letter Says.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, october 27.-John j.
RaSkob, chairman of the Democratic
national committee, addressed a letter
to all Democratic county chairmen in
the country today assailing the accu-
racy of the Literary Digest national poll
and predicting victory for Gov. Smith.
He warned the organization leaders to
be prepared to protect the polls and see
that an honest count is obtained.
THE enemy is on the run; victory
is ours" he wrote in conclusion.
"Out of the 100000 ballots distrib-
uted by the Literary Digest, only $685.
397 have been returned Of these,
1,539,617 were returned from people
who voted the Republican ticket In
1924, and only 684,308 were returned
from those who voted the Democratic
ticket in 1924" Mr.. Raskob wrote.
Mr.. Raskob said the Literary Digest
may have mailed the ballots to as many
Democrats as Republicans and ur-
doubtedly took every precaution to in
sure a fair poll.
'Manifestly the result of a poll in
which out of every $500 votes received
1880 are from the 1924 Republicans and
only 1000 from 1924 Democrats cannot
accurately forecast the result of al
election.
Accurate and reliable information
from all over the country reveals the
brightest prospects for Democratic VIC
tory. Gov. Smiths election is assured,
Make this an absolute certainty by
perfecting your organization to protect
the polls and see that an honest count
is obtained. See that everyone who is
legally entitled to vote goes to the poils.
The tremendous rising tide Tor the
Democratic ticket makes 1t all the more
imperative for the Democratic organl-
cations and clubs throughout the coun.
trv to be prepared, energetic and
vigilant. (Signed) JOHN j. RASKOB.
