of "Grass-Rooters"
Rally in Georgia
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES

AUDITORIUM, Macon Ca, Jan.
90 U.N.S0.-Down here in deep
est Dixie, where Democratic reg
ularity is the accepted thing, there
was Embossed today such torrents
of denunciation of the Roosevelt
Administration as even the Repub-
licans themselves might envy in
their Cleveland convention next
June.
It came from Democratic grass
rooters" called into a Jeffersonian
maSsmeeting by Georgia's insur-
gent governor, Black-haired, Red
Gallussed Eugene Talmadge, aided
and supported by John Henry
Kirby, Of Texas, who organized
what Is known, as the Southern
Committee TO Uphold the Consti-
tuition. NJ
Together, they left little to be
said by the Republicans agNinst
the Roosevelt government.
Assailed by TaImadge
Talmadge accused the Federal
Administration of attempting to
obliterate States rights, of high
crimes and miSdemeanorS against
the laws of economics, Of fostering
Socialism and inviting Commu-
niSm, Of squanderiLg money and
Of setting UP autocraEs in the seats
Of the mighty in washington. He
shouted:
"And that sturdy solder.
George Washington, said that
whenever this happens, rise up
and smite them.

in importance with July 4,

To which Kirby added in an
other speech:
"Tf Franklin D. Roosevelt is a
Democrat, then Sherma ms
march to the sea was Yankee
retreat"
The audience that listened to
these diatribeS against the Roose-
welt regime and it's policies was
composed Of several thousand
Grass Roots" Democrats from
a dozen Southern and border
States, but most Of them Geor-
gians who are loyal supporters
of Eugene Tai mad ge. They
packed Macon'S municipal audi
forum, which seats about 1000
people. The radio provided even
a larger audience.
State Rights Keynote
Talmadge pitched his plea to
oppose President Roosevelt on the
keynote of States rights, which
he declared the South had fought
for in 81. and which he de
scribed as being more endangered
now than then. He said:
eff the present program is
continued for four more years
the lines between the States
will be only a shadow on paper,
and the Government of the
separate States will be sub
servient to the will of a 'cen-
trail power at Washington"

expressed her resentment of "the

attacks which were made by a
speaker whose name was printed

She said further:

1t was made clear at the Navy
Department that Colonel Roose-
velt'S action did not express the
sentiment of the department nor
of the officers personally.
Also, it was said that Secre-
