KNIGHT OF

THE RED SUSPENDERS

Gov. Talmadge Rests Political Fate With Georgia Voters Today

BY DREW PEARSON AND ROBERT S. ALLEN VV ASHINGTON, Sept. 9.—A year ago “yesterday, an

assassin’s bullet put an abrupt end to the booming career in demagoguery and dictatorship of Senator Hue

P. Long. Today there is a strong possibility that the

electorate of Georgia, by a more peaceful but just as conclusive method, will write finis to the noisome political

life of the Kingfish’s No. 1 pupil, Gov.

Eugene Talmadge.

For today Georgia voters decide whether the toga of

the junior

senatorship of the state shall remain on the

shoulders of Senator Richard B. Russell Jr. or be trans-

ferred to “Our Gene.”

In making that decision the voters will do more than choose between an able young man and a flamboyant, red-

gallused. rabble-rouser. Far

personal factor is the choice between a New Dealer and a rabid anti-New Dealer.

That is the real issue at stake | election in

‘Talmadge, fighting for his po- |

litical life, desperately is trying to deny this,

“All right,” Russell has chal-

lenged back, “let my opponent |

say where he stands.” But Talmadge’s only reply is: “Georgia needs a man in the Senate who will help guide the President.” ® n zn

1s however, fooled no one in Georgia, where his Liberty League and Wall Street backing are well known. This support is not: the only accusation being hurled at the red-gallused haranguer, : “Our Gene” has made hundreds of speeches in his. senatorial campaign, but the first word is yet to be heard from him on his farm holdings.

Nor is he replying to the venge=:

ful attacks of Georgia laborites who recall how he used the state militia to break the 1935 textile strike. ks When running for Governor in 1932 and 1934, Talmadge paraded

‘himself as the friend of the

worker and the farmer. He was elected chiefly through this support. Yet, last year, when the mill workers took to the picket, lines -in a struggle for union recognition and wage increases, Talmadge enabled the textile operators to beat them into submission by ealling”out the troops and placing the mill areas under martial law,

2 w an 1s has not been forgotten by Georgia labor and it will have a chance to pay off its score today. Talmadge was a mediocre lawyer in the small town of McCrae, Ga., when he first flared over the

state political horizon as a fiery |

crusader against the “fertilizer trust.” With . this issue as a vehicle, he rode into office as State Agriculture Commissioner — and promptly bring the fertilizer interests to their knees. His term as Agricultural Commissioner was criticised for his speculation in hegs, branded as illegal. There was talk of impeachment. But Talmadge merely turned this incident to promote his gu-

bernatorial ‘ambitions. To the “wool hats,” as he calls Georgia farmers, he declared that he had used state funds for his hog operations in an effort to get them higher prices. crooked speculators,” he declaimed, did his project fail. In his first gubernatorial campaign Talmadge declared war on wility interests. Today he is their friend, and has made vitriolic speeches against the Tennessee Valley Authority, which the power companies oppose. » n b- ] "| ALMADGE'S doublecross of labor was the stepping stone from which he leaped into the national arena. It was after he Smashed the textile strike that mill owners and other big business elements swarmed to his standard. They saw in him a new “white hope” against. the New Deal and spurred him on to declare open war on the President, Feeding upon their: flattery, “Our Gene” actually began to envision himself ga presidential candidate. Huey was removed from the scene, and the Georgia firebrand thought he saw the way cleared to skyrocket out in front as the anti-New Deal champion.

With this in mind he and his secret Liberty League backers conceived the Macon “grass roots” convention last spring: It looked like “Our Gene” was going places. But the convention flopped dismally. It turned out to be a gathering of the most reactionary leaders in the South, plus a few hundred Talmadge hirelings and .officeholders. No program was offered: no policies enunciated. All that was said was a lot about Negroes and Jews. The final nail in the .discrediting of the Macon meeting was driven by the Senate lobby investigating -committee, which revealed that John J, Raskob and the du Ponts had financed it, : This disclosure was the beginning of the end bf “Our Gene's” cocky strut to national power. Talmadge’s attempt to unseat Russell is his last stand. In this campaign his technique has reached new heights, One new feature is a group of overallclad farmers who stage “hurrahs” near the microphone during “Our Gene's” speeches. Another is the dramatic removal of the speaker on husky shoulders at the end of his harangue.

madge. Also an advance man has been discovered ‘in several towns arranging for Talmadge’s exit on practiced shoulders. But the masterpiece of Talmadge demagoguery is the organization of the “Knights of the Red Suspenders,” through the circulation of a letter whieh reads: “So that you may be identified properly, we suggest that you immediately buy a pair of red suspenders, which'we know you will be proud to wear and look upon them as a badge of honor. “They will be more effective if you cut off the right button nearest the center of your trousers on the right hand side. And in place of the button use a six-penny nail. Do not put the nail straight across, but place it at an angle of about 45 degrees, the sharp end the left. There

Actually “Our Gene” is fighting with his back to the wall, Starting out ‘to make one speech a week, he soon was making eleven fren. zied harangues gn week. And in all barts of the state red Suspenders, once the proud symbol of “Our Gene's” cocky power, are being thrown at the feet of Senator Russell as silent messages of Talmadge repudiation.
