Is George Reply to Roosevelt

that we in Georgia are capable and
determined to run our own affairs"
Other phases of the presidential
speech. delivered at the dedication of
a rural electrification project at the
Gordon Memorial Stadium, also drew
attention.
Former Gov. Eugene Talmadge and
William G. McRae. the other candi-
dates in the race for the Democratic
senatorial nomination September IA,
were not invited to Barnesville.
The President did not mention Mr..
McRae, but of Mr.. Talmadge he said: !:
Il have read so many of his proposals,
so many of his promises, so many of
his panaceas that am very certain in
my own mind that his election would
contribute little to practical govern
ment."
The former Governor, critic Of the
New Deal particularly in 1886, several
times this year had expressed a belief
that they can't attack a man on q
platform like this''-his three-point
program Of 1888 for free hcmesteads
for the needy, higher tariffs and per-
fection Of c. C.. c. camps for trade
and farm training.

Stocks tumbled for losses running

bonds also felt the urge to SELL
Brokers said markets here apparent

London open market, lifting the price
of the metal there to the highest since
November, 1896. was accepted as a
symptom of uneasiness on the conti-

Following its fast advance in June
and early July. the stock market ap-
peared vulnerable to increased of1er-

and other groups leading the mid-year
upswing gave ground readily.
Foreigners, it appeared, were con-
