MITCHELL PALMER DEFENDS PRESDENT Three-Qda~ters of Million Dollars ElWled Treaty and League, Says At. torney General. Macon, Ga., April 8.-"Three qear ters of a million jollars killed the treaty of peace, and the league of na tions covenant," -charged Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer here to night in his address in behalf of his own candidacy for ItLe presidential nomination in Georgia, City hall audi torium, was packed with what was said to have been the largest orowd ever assembled there. "With the majority vote purchased In Michigan," he continued, "Sena~tor 'Lodge organized the foreign relations committee and i'efused to report the treaty. If the democrats had carried lichigan-if the republican ilyart had spent say, only a couple of hundred thousaud dollars-the democrats would hace organized- tho se'nate and the foreign relations committee would have reported the treaty and it would have -been passed. It took months of 'struggle to get these democrats to de sert the party." The attorney general defended the administration of President 'Wilson. -He read a letter from Senator .1oke Smith, who a few nights ago criticiz ed the attoreny general from the same platform. The letter was dated November 14, 1918, being written af ter the deportation of the "reds," as follows: "I am just sending this one of many appreciative editorials appearing in Georgia ;papers. May I add my own sincere congratulations to you and the cause. If at any time I can be of as sistance to you in the senate be assur ed I will appreciate your calling on me." ie declared that the purpose of Sen ator Hoke Smith and Senator Reed and others was to repudiate Wilson and ergbarrass the presefit administra tion and to change the democratic policies. "They say I cannot carry Pennsyl vania," said the attorney general. "If the party will nominate some man 1who can carry Pennsylvania, I'll bN for him. But he must be a bettei democrat than has yet announced." M1r. Palmer referred to criticisms ol his Quakeribin and statements that ht has refused the post of secretary oi war in 1916 and could not, therefore be the commander of the army an( navy as president. "Far be it from ic to deny the faitl Df my fathers," said Mr. Palmer. ti "I couldn't accept, ' a post In the q piping days of -peace where I should s have to spend four of the best years of piy life in preparation for war that a I believe is impossible," declared 'the v speaker. "But I was for this world war. ' Every .boy in my family and every boy * in my wife's family, all Quakers, were , in the war from the .first .to -the last." "If you want references as to my fighting ability, I refer you to several battle-scarred republicans." "When I saw him attacked and vil lified and no one willing to defend him, I determined to carry the flag of Woodrow Wilson to the people" de- a clar6d Mr. Palmer. BOLL WORM PENT CAUSES CON FLICT States Not Agreed as to Course. Texas (1rowers have 'Failed to Back Up i Government. Washington, April 7.-Sharply con flicting proposals for meeting the pink i boll worm pest, which has attained a foothold in certain Texas cotton grow ing areas, apreading from Mexico, and 4 has also broken out in Louisiana, were i preseited today before the rederal horticultural board by state officials, iepresentatives in congress and dele gatiohs from nearly all the cotton growing states. Representatives.of the states outisde Texas demanded that a federal quarantine be invoked against the whole of Texas, unless its citizens agree tp abolish cotton growing con pletely in infested areas for three years. The Texatls, led by Governor Hobby, presented a counter plan to allow cot ton planting this year under strict re gional quarantine, 'with a promise to prohibit the cropping in 1921 if the boll worm appears. The Louisiana delegation assured the -board that by voluntary action, al ready undertaken, backed up with a special session of the legislature, the growers would abstain from cropping the lands on which the worn has been discovered. There wa sconsiderable heat in the argument before the board, especial ly when Dr. C. L. Mariett, its chairman, said flatly that the Texas growers and state government had, failed to back up the government in' its fight on the pest, and were now advancing a prop osition which might make eradication of the worm impossible. The Tbxans retorted 'with the assertion that the board "could not get anywhere with to ibig t stick," adding -that federal uarantine against cotton in the whole ate could not 'be maintained. A decision on the matter of a quar ntino will be handed down shortly,,it 'as announced after the hearings. * . . . . . . 0 0 S S * e ..
