poisonous atmosphere of the old slave
owning Souht which considered all
who worked were slaves and should
be treated as such. Little wonder they
are not in accord with President
Roosevelt's ideas of social justice.
They are as much out of place as re-
personalities, in the Congress, of the
great producing class of this South
land as the Devil would have been
on the mount of TRANSPORTATION.
Speaking of the traditions of the
Old South, let me say; my father
fought four years to save them, and
lived more than sixtyfours years re-
greeting it. He learned more and more
to love Lincoln and dislike Jefferson
Davis.
I was born in the South and my
parents were as patriotic as any Spar
tan could boast. I love the South and
think it Gods most favored land, but
l do believe we are far behind the
other sections of our country in its
political management. Here the mas
ses are ignorant and the classes do
not fail to take advantage of it. The
Democratic machine picks the men

all the offices. The consequences are
that nobody is represented but the
machine crowd. We of the South need
a new political line up far more, I
think than any other section of these
United States, as bad as the others
need it. The wo otld parties are and
have always been a milestone about
the neck of the people. They were
conceived in darkness by the coniving
greedy rich to keep the great pro-
ducing class in abject poverty in or
der that the rich might live in COM
fort on their labor. l have never be-
longed tn either of the old parties.
Had my example in that been follow
ed America would not, be today, on
her knees. My first vote was cast for
James A. Weaver in 1892. In 1924
when all my Democratic friends were
voting for John w. Davis, J. P. Nor
gans right bower, and my Republican
friends wanting all the money kept in
Wall Street, voted for Calvin Cool
idge, voted for the greatest man of
his time; Robert M. LaFollette.
My dear sir: I thank you for your
noble stand for social justice in
America. May God give you strength
to carry on until every chain that
binds the toiling millions to the
chariot wheels of predatory wealth
are broken.
Please don't take time to answer
this, much too long, letter. Your mis-
sion is too great and your cause too
righteous to notice those marching
with you. 1 am happy to be,
Sincerely yours,

THE WORLD WAR DAY-BY-DAY

20 Years Ago Today-New Zealand
ers and Australians attacked and
drove back the Turks near Kut, where
the previous year the Turks had be-
seiged and forced the surrender of
TownShend's army. The British
Camel Corps turned the tide of the
fray in the open theatres of war such
as Palestine and Mesopotamia, caval-
ry could still be used effectively
against an unprotected or weak flank.
On Jan. 9-Rafa had fallen to the
New Zealanders in an action lasting
10 hours. In this the British casual
ties were 487, those of the enemy 1000
besides unwounded prisoners, six ma
chine guns, four mountain-guns and
a quantity of transport. The result
of this victory was the clearing of the
Sinai desert of all Turkish troops.
The British were now beyond the des-
ert, on the edge of a habitable coun-
try, the next objective the Gaza-Beer-
sheba line which was the gateway to
Syria.
Early in the war Turkish forces had
twice reached the Suez Canal, and so
threatened British control of the short
est route to India. It was not until
these British victories cleared the
Turks out of Sinai and carried a coun-
ter-attack into Palestine, that the
menace to Suez was removed. Con-
struction of a railroad line from Kan
tora across the desert was only one
of the achievements of the British
campaign.
Warfare in this country had been
much like that in the old Sudan cam
paign of 80 years before. Before each
new move could be made, large guam
titles of supplies had to be collected
at each advanced base. After an ac-
ton was fought and the front cleared
a pause would ensue until railway
tracks could be carried forward and

America is going to move on to

fcrtitude to say on the floor of the
House or Senate, as you did last

anxiety to serve the people instead of

the tortures of the damned on ac-
count of the Democratic party. Last
November 3rd. Mr. Roosevelt receiv-
ed more than -four hundred thousand
votes in the State, while our senior
Senator running for second term
got just little more than half that
many, but being supported by the
Democratic State machine he was
elected Notwithstanding he has in his
previous term voted on all important
questions with the reactionary crowd
in the Senate. The first important
vote he has cast during this session
was against Mr.. Roosevelt and in
favor of such reactionaries as Sena-
tor Harry Byrd and the other old line
friends of Wall Street
My dear sir. You must know the
Democratic party is about as reac-
tiOnary, and serves organized wealth,
as well as does the Republican party
| venture to say you will see before
the end of this session of Congress
that Mr.. Roosevelt has fewer friends
in Congress from the South, the great
Democratic stronghold, than he has
in either the North or West. The
great pity is that the South has so
much power in the present Congress.
It is the hope of every right think
ing man and woman in this part of
the country, that you of the North
and West who intend to serve the
people instead of a party, will fight
them to the last ditch, on all their
reactionary moves.
These men who represent the South
in Congress, seem for the most part,
to be men of small means, small in

ambitions, which makes them the
