GOV. BLE ASE TO ? MR.

September 2, and signed by yourself, received at the gover nor's office this day. ID the campaign for the United S'v.v3s senate, Just closed, it was said throughout the state by opponents of mme, that if Senator Smith was re elected the United Stetes government would come to the immediate relief of the farmers,, under thc new cur rency net.' and Would let them have a sufficient amount of rooney to mar ket the cotton iof tho south. As I understand your movement, it ls an effort, to hold the cotton by , putting it In warehouses. It seems , to'me, therefore, that thc two movements' are in direct conflict. How CSD yon both hold the cotton ?and market it at thc same time? I think the proper thing for your as sociation to do would be to call upon Senator Smith, and those who were backing him, to fulfill their campaign promise*; to lue people of the statt? and relieve this sistuatlon at once by raising the price of cotton and by making proper arrangements to fina. nee the crop, or to come out and admit that this argument was used as bun combe to fool the farmers Into voting for Smit I said on the stump that this was the purpose, and it is now shown to be absolutely true. Senator Smith has been renominated, the price of cotton goes lower, and tho farmers re ceive no relief. , 1 notice in an article published in the newspapers this morning-, that you state that the resolutions passed at the Jefferson Hotel conference were practically the sumo us those passed at the conference In tne gov ernor's office, when Major Jahn G.

I have not offered j ;to inject politics into this matter nor did Major Richards know that I was ? going to give out any interview upon ? the subject, or-connect bis name with c it, and he is le no manner or form re- ( sponsible for what I said. , I know of no better way to obtain t the opinion of a majority of the peo ple of my state as to whether or not c they want s special session of the | legislature than for them to express \ lt nt the ballot box, I sm their ser- i vant, and will do as they ask. c Those who fsvor the Richards res- i elution will cast their votes for him < next Tuesdsy.

I would not bare answered your i resolutions, or ??sid any attention ts 1 you personally, ss .1 think your inter- 1 view clearly makes you entirely un- I worthy of any ? eply in the matter from 1 this orace, but as president of the par- < Usan, political, factional association < that you represent, i address you th is j < communication.
