MACON, Ga, Jan. 28.-Gov.
Eugene Talmadge announced
his candidacy for President of
the United States today, and
invited all discontinued Demo-
Gratis and Republicans to join
him in an attempt to drive
the New Deal out of power.
The Governors statement-the
first open avowsl of a presidential
candidacy he has delivered-came
in an interview as he was preparing
to rally the South against Presi-
dent Roosevelt at a convention of
constitutional Democrats" here to-
morrow
Pushing his black hair out of his
eyes, Gov. Talmadge said he would
storm New England and the West
on a speaking tour in an attempt to
knit New Deal opposition for the
November election.
Under what party label he will
campaign still is undecided, the
Governor said, but he will attempt
to get either Senator William E.
Borah, Idaho Republican, or former
Gov. Joseph P. Ely of MaSsachu-
sets as vice presidential candidate
on his ticket.
Certain of 100000 Votes
"I can count on 100000 votes in
the South" Talmadge said, chew
ing vigorously at a cigar And
you can take it from me that New
England is as sick of this New Deal
as I am"
do you mean you're ready to
run for PRESIDENT" Gov. Talmadge
was asked.
Sure, any sane man is willing to
do that, and I'm sane
Who would you like to have on
the ticket with your"
"Borah would be a good man. And
that fellow Ely up in Massachusetts,
talks my language"
Talmadge appeared unconcerned
by the fact that Borah already is
out for the Republican presidential
nomination. The Governor believes
the November election will splinter
party lines, and he said he was
willing to offer haven to persons of
any and all political faiths So long
as they stick by the Constitution"
Hopes to Speak in New York.
Talmadge, who has fought Mr..
Roosevelt here in his adopted
state, plans to carry the battle
right up to the Presidents front
door and deliver a speech in New
York City-in Madison Square
Garden if arrangements can be
made.
Already he is making up
crowded schedule of speaking en-
gagements He will swing up
through the South, invade Illinois
and later push out into the Rocky
Mountain states and perhaps go as
far as California.
THE Roosevelt crowd can have
any party name they want" Gov.
Talmadge said. opening up a
bottle of soft drink and slipping.
They're Socialists. It doesn't mat
ter what my folks call themselves.
Everybody knows we're Democrats
real Democrats.
Talmadge was asked what course
of action he was going to take when
he opens his grass roots" conven-
ton, to which delegates from II
states have been invited.
I'm going to lay it on the New
Deal good and thick" he said
THE same way Al Smith did up
in Washington"
Eyes sir, that was fine speech
Al Smith made"

Campaign Talk Spreads

WASHINGTON. Jan. 28.-Burly
President John L. Lewis of the
United Mine Workers and Secre-
tary of Interior Harold L. Ickes
turned the heat of political in
vective against Alfred E. Smith to-
day as presidential campaigning
spread across the nation.
Mr.. Lewis and Mr.. Ickes, two of
the sharpest tongued New Deal
spokesman, flung caustic jabs at the
former New York Governor for his
American Liberty League address.
Lewis left no doubt that he was
holding his powerful organization
of 500, 900 coal miners steadfast be-
hind the New Deal-a factor ex-
pected to weigh heavily in states
where the union musters many
thousand votes.
Mr.. Ickes piled on more harsh
words, forecasting that liberal Re-
publican votes would balance any
loss to the New Deal of conserva-
tive Democratic support.

Against the background of this
barrage, new political events were

Revolution Will Come Is
Cry in House While
Secretary Speaks.
HIGH COURT UNDER FIRE
Democrats Pump Hand OF
Texan After Blast
at Justices.
By United Press

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-
A warning that revolution
will come" unless laws are
adjusted to meet economic
change sounded from the
House floor this afternoon
coincident with a scathing
attack by Secretary of Agri-
culture Henry A. Wallace on
the recent Supreme Court de-
cision on processing taxes.
Rep. G. H. Cross. stoop-shoul-
dered. gray-haired Texas Democrat,
stirred the House with a plea for
Congress to 'unshac:.le itself" by
curbing the powers of the nations
high tribunal.
Action is necessary" he said. TO
prevent one branch of the govern
ment from embezzling the powers
of another.
The laws must be changed to At
the economic and social changes of
the nation or revolution will
come
Many Democrats rushed to con.
graduate the Texan as he concIud-
ed his attack.
Charges Law Was Ignored
Meanwhile Secretary Wallace was
lashing at probably the greatest
legalized steal in American history,
in connection with the courts order
for return of $200,000,000 of process
ing taxes to professors as result of
the AAA decision.
Renewing an earlier attack on
the Supreme Courts decision or
dering return of the disputed taxes.
Mr.. Wallace again charged that thu
court decision ignored" an act OF
congress decreeing that professors.
10 collect the taxes, must show they
did not pass on the levies.
Mr.. Wallace asserted that the
court, by this action had returned
TO the professors money which be-
longed to the entire country.
Doesn't Make Sense"
To the mind trained in legalisms.
this may be perfectly all right" Mr..
Wallace said, but to the layman. it
doesn't make sense.
In the Hoosac Mills case. the
Supreme Court disapproved the idea
that the government could take
money from one group for the
benefit of the other.
Yet in turning over to the proc
essors this 100000 600 which came
from all the people, we are seeing
the most fragrant example of ex-
preparation for the benefit of one
small group.
This is probably the creates
legalized steal in American history"
Mr. Wallace asserted that the
5000 100000 already had been col-
lected from the public as processing
taxes"
Claims Consumers Paid II
THE professors didn't bear tn.
tax" he said. they passed it on to
the consumers in the form of higher
prices or. as the packers commended
IN the case fhogs, back to the
farmer in the form of lower hog
prices.
Doubtless every one in this
audience paid part of that $780,
100000 in the form of higher price,
Tor flour, bacon and cotton goods.
or in the form of lower market
prices received for hogs.
congress was aware of that, and
last summer decreed that no proc
essor was entitled to a refund un-
less ne could prove that he had
absorbed the tax himself. This
point, however, the Supreme Court
ignored when it decided the rice
mlllers case Jan. 49,"

Using delinquent taxes.
Sheriff H. M. Miller urges all
those who have not paid their 1885
taxes to make arrangements to do
so at once and avoid the necessity
of advertising. The regular advertis-
ing date is the first of May, and
there is no indication that the date
will be postponed. Mr.. Miller is very
much pleased with the payments SO
far and is anxious for them to con-
tinue until all are completed. He
states that if all the taxpayers would
would pay up promptly each year
they would have a much better
chance to get all taxes still further
reduced.
The tax rate this year added to
the lowered land valuation has made
taxes far lower than they have been
in many years and they should not
be so unusually hard to pay.

ITALIAN WAR SEEMS NEAR END

Italians have taken practically all
of the important points in Ethiopia,
and it SENS that war is about over
as far as those two countries are
concerned. Emperor Halle Selassie
led his own army against the 1tal-
ians last week and suffered decid-
ed defeat, losing 1000 of his men.
Italians later bombed the Ethiopian
capital and the Emperor had to flee
for his life.
Reports are that Selassie is ready
to make terms for peace. England is
alarmed since Italy now possesses
the head waters of the Nile, which
waters her territory, on which she
is vitality dependent. The League of
Nations is investigating the reports
that Italy has unlawfully used poi
son gas in her fight in Africa.
