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.
