Cotton Ed Smiths
Group Urges Farmers
10 Beat Fourth Term
~ the Associated Press.

The new National Agricultural
Committee" Of anti-Roosevelt Dem
ocrats appealed to farmers yester-
day to vote against fourth term
tn November, asserting such votes
would help in ''recapturing the Gov
eminent from the domination of un-
American Missionaries"
The group, formed here Friday
under the craftsmanship of 80-year-
old Senator Ellison D. Cotton Ed
Smith Of South Carolina, concluded
Q two-day session by adopting q
resolution urging rural voters ito
Join in defeating the fourth term
and in smashing the vicious con-
troll OF the New Dealers, Sidney Hill
mans and Communists" Less than
q dozen attended the session.
Threat to States Rights Seen.
The resolution declared the Amer
lean constitutional form Of Gov
eminent and States rights are
threatened by certain radical alien
and communistic powers getting
control" and unless the Govern
ment is restored" to those who
believe in these principles ut will
bring disaster and ruin to the Amer
lean farmers. labor, industry, busi-
ness and religion"
I'm such crisis" it continued,
SIT is the patriotic duty of Ameri-
cans to place the interest Of their
country above any selfish party az

rotary of the group, said their aim
is to get out farm vote sufficient

Through Nationwide farm and

Senator Smith said an "over-

opposed to the New Deal and a

No Elephant Handsprings.
1--WE have all seen many mar.
velous stunts in the circus, but nc
performing elephant could turn 9
handspring without falling fiat or
his back" the President said as the
audience roared.
The President then turned to the
Republican attack on those "whc
raised their voices against our prep
arations for defense-before and
after 1939-as historical war mon
gering," but, he added happily they
were in the minority"
What the Republican leaders
ar are now saying in effect is this
"'Oh, just forget what we used te
say, we have changed our minds
now. We have been reading pub
lie opinion polls about these things
and We now know what the Amer
lean people want. Don't leave the
task of making the peace to those
old men who first urged 1t and who
have already laid the foundation fol-
it, and who have had to fight all OF

five years to do it-just turn it over
to us. Well do 1t so Skillfully-
that we won't lose a single isola-
zionist vote or single isolationist

millions of Republicans"
Withal, Mr.. Roosevelt said. "the
Government welcomes all sincere
supporters Of the cause of effective
world collaboration in the making
Of an effective peace" and millions
of Republicans" he said, are joining
in this effort.
In this same general connection
with seeming reference to Gov
Dewey's demand for greater recog-
milton for Gen. Douglas Macarthur
in the Pacific, the President said
that those who have responsibility
for the conduct of the war ARE not
helped by the statements of men
who, without responsibility and
without knowledge of the facts, lee
ture" military authorities as to the
proper disposition of our armec
forces and resources.
1t was, however, the Fantastic
charge" that the administration
proposed to hold men in the Army
for fear that there would not be
jobs for them that drew the Presi-
dents heaviest fire.
In his opening campaign speech
in Philadelphia, Gov. Dewey at
tributed a statement to this effect
to Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey,
director of the draft.
"CallOus, Brazen Falsehood."
This callous and brazen false
hood about rehabilitation was an
effort to stimulate fear among
American mothers, wives and sweet
hearts" Mr.. Roosevelt said. And
incidentally. it was hardly calcu-
lated to bolster the morale of our
soldiers and sailors and airmen
fighting our battles all over the
world"
The President praised the accom-
plishments of labor on the war pro-
duction line, and assailed the labor
baiters among the opposition who,
instead of calling attention to the
achievement of labor in this war,
prefer to pick on the strikes which
have occurred"
These strikes, the President am
plified, have been condemned by
every responsible national labor
leader-every national leader except
