from his birth on a Tennessee tobacco
farm to bis present position of prominence
in American financial, lumbering, and

Nothing could be more anti-biblical than
letting women vote Then Harry Truman
added “You see that the cry of socialism
is as old as the hills. They used it against
woman suffrage, against the federal re
