Evening star., 1938-12-18

Franklin's on tire rampage, a-comin',
a-goin',
Travelin' the time away:
Ickes and Hopkins the dollars
a-throwin'
From now till judgment day.
Dear old Southland, with its dreamy
song,
carpetbaggers, you're wrong, all
wrong!
Well put you Yankees right where
you belong,
When it's purgin' time down
South!
From the crowd came q cheer as
Jim Farley marche1 on the field
welcomed by Senator Harrison as
"a friend" who never was for this
purgin' business at any time. The
Senator wanted to know what Farley
has to say to the President about
q third term. In song, to the tune
OF THE Lonesome Road" Farley
advised the President that third
term visions, bright and sweet, lead
you down one-way street." and to
look down, look down, that lone
some road before you travel on"
Cotton Ed on Way.
The colonies and their ladies yelled
that's tellin' him, Jim," but it was
not telling him enough, and soon
Senator Bailey beloved forth a song
asking Mr.. Roosevelt to stay out
Of the South-build castles in Spain
go yachting IN Maine, up in the
North if he had to sally forth, yes
to stay In the North where you
constantly fork out all of that pork, -
but don't come south of the line ~
But where was Cotton Ed Smith?
Where was the real hero of this
occasion? He's on his way, the
crowd was advised, and Senator Har-
rison asked for an expression, while
they waited, from Senators Tydings
and George, who helped to turn
these demons from our shores"
The two broke into lyrical eulogy
OF Old Cotton Ed, who had a mind
OF his own, who had no love for
Franklin d." and who "hated Mr..
Corcoran and he hated Mr.. Cohen" "
and "he had to let the New Deal
be- Old Cotton Ed, who woke up
one morning to be informed he was
slated for the celebrated purge. u
Each in his turn, verse at a time,
Tydings and George sang Justify on
They fought the old man with fact
and with ly'n,
They even said they heard hinfsay
Good white folks in dear old Caroline
Could live on so cents a day.
They took every chance for Grip
pllng thrust,
But the thing those Yanks couldn't t
see,
For years Old Ed been fightin' in de
dust,
In the cause of white suprema- Gee"
Reveals Red Shirt.
And then, in the midst of unroar-
Gus cheers. in marched Cotton Ed
and he did, in fact, proceed to tell
the New Deal where to go! In a
speech that vibrated with the simu-
latlon OF Senator Smiths high, nasal
voice, Cotton Ed played on the emo
lions OF his Southern cottonfield
audience. Pure, undefiled Southern
Womanhood, white suprema Gee, the
damned Yankees, comprised his
theme. When he. finally screamed
out his objections to the particina :
ton OF Negro delegates in the 1886
democratic National Convention in
Philadelphia, Cotton Ed reached the
zenith OF his TRADE. Overcome bv
ms own zeal, he ripped off his coat
revealing a cleaning red shirt. The
men IN his audience caught the
1eVer and did likewise. Nor were
the women impassive. They kicked
up their skirts in jig of elee. re-
Veailng equally cleaning red petit
coats. ''A
An what did do?" shouted Cot
Ton Ed. Il walked out! Yes, I
walked out!" =
Walk out he did, there and then
iouoWeo by the whole shouting, mill
ing crowd OF feverishly happy South
erners, as brasses and reeds blared
OUT their accompaniment!
