he said, “Hoover Democrats will
be welcomed back into -the party
fold and will toe permitted to -par-

Tennessee went, for Hoover in
the lasit presidential election.
“Tennessee naturally is a Dem-
ocratic Sltalte our normal majority
being around' 30,000.” Mr. Hender-
son’ls statement said. “In Nov-
ember of 1928, because of w-hat I
considered then and now consider
the false issues of prohibition and
religion, Tennessee, along with
such irock -ribbed Democratic
Southern States a.s Virginia, Texas
North Carolina -and' Florida, were
carried by Hoiver his majority in
Tennessee toeing 83,045.
“This means that something in
excess of 60,000 voters of Democ-
ratic tendencies voted for Hoover

ity of -this number voted for him
on what toey thought were moral
issues.
“Unless we can bring into the
party the greater portion of these
Democrats that voted for Hoover,
Tennessee will toe Republican in
'the fixture, and if we expect to
again win and- retain Democratic
supremacy in Tennessee, we must
hiarve harmony among those who
are normally Democratic in -prin-
ciple. We- cannot do this toy exclud-

Radio is already supplementing

j schools special hours are se:t aside

tion of Waiter Damnosch, broad-
cast by the National Broadcasting

[teaching children what good mus-

in cotton prices should be taken
as i& sharp warning to growers.
The weakness of the present
condition, Mir. Williams said in a
■radio speech over a Nation-wide
hook-up rests on a low current
rate of cotton consumption of a
larger crop in- 1930.
“If they want a belter crop in
1930, it is not too late to plan to
get it,” Mr. Williams, declared.
“They can get it toy cutting down
t he acreage.
“World consumption of cotton
has been less thus far this year
-than it was in the same period
last year and may be still declin-
ing. Wbrld stocks of cotton are
not excessive. Domestic and for-
eign demand? are likely to be
somewhat stronger next year
than -this year.
“If the United States produces
in 1930 a crop of 13,OQO,000 bales
or less, growers may expect con-
siderably better prices and larger
incomes next year than they got
last year.”
