William McCormick,
STRAWS SHOWING THE WINDS
AS EXPRESSED JUST BEFORE
THE CAMPAIGN BEGAN.
Atlanta, Ga.—As an evidence of the
unanimity with which Georgians are
supporting Oscar Underwood for pres
ident, Manager Hutchens gave out at
headquarters four incidents, which he
declares are significant.
“The Democratic executive commit
tee of Worth ceunty met the other
day to determin¢ on plans for the
presidential primary. A vote was ta
ken and it was found that the com
mittee stood 29 for Underwood and 1
for Wilson. This report was sent to
me from three different sources.
“During the primary held on the
27th in Pike county, those who voted
in the second district were asked to
write down their preference for pres
jdent and when the vote was count
ed it was found that it was Under
wood 72, Wilson 4, Clark 1. This in
formation comes from the justice of
the peace who presided at the elec
tion.
“In Waynesboro recently there
was held a mass meeting of citizens
to select a new Democratic executive
committee, After the new commit
tee was chosen, the mass meeting en
dorsed Mr. Underwood without a dis
senting vote.
“The organizers of the TUnderwood
club at Wellston in Housten county,
report that there are 106 voters in
the district and that 103 have signed
their names in the Underwood club.
“We haven’t given up hope of get
ting the other three,” the county
adds.
Hon. W. T. Lane, of Americus, sev
eral times a member of the legisla
ture from Sumter county, a well
known lawyer and a strong Wilson
supporter, has practically given up
the fight in Georgia, and now express
es the opinion that Underwood will
carry the state.
Mr, Lane has taken a prominent
stand in politics in his section, gets
around considerably over his congres
sional district, and his judgment can
not be questioned.
He says “Georgia may, and proba
bly will, follow the example of Ala-
Lbama, and declare for Underwood.”
Here is Mr. Lane’'s statement, in
which he makes this interesting ad
mission as it appeared in Wednes
day’s Americus Times-Recorder.
“I believe Wilson is the best candi
date, in the sense that he is most
likely to be‘a winner before the peo
ple,” said W. T. Lane, the well-known
attorney yesterday, “but I am free to
confess that while I will support Wil
son, the outlook favors Underwcod
in this entire section of the state, and
probably throughout the state. I can
readily appreciate that the Under
wood sentiment is developing
strength rapidly. But While Georgia
may, and probably will, follow the ex
ample of Alabama and declare Under
wood to be its prefererce, I am still
free to say that I believe that Wilson
is the most available candidate for
the party to nominate. Underwood is
a man of fine capacity and undoubted
experience and ability as a political
leader and statesman, but I cannot
believe that the north is yet willing
to accept a southern man. It seems,
though, that he will have some sub
stantial backing in the convention.
Georgia looks very much like sending
an Underwood delegation.” i gmen -
80 PER CENT. OF VOTE
Prominent South Georgian Gives Hisl
Views. ‘
—_ - ]
Hon. A. T. Woodward, one of the]
most prominent lawyers in south 1
Georgia, who is well known and liked
by a host of friends, writes from
valdosta to the Underwood headquar
ters in Atlanta:
«Underwood will get whatever vote
is polled in Echols county. He has
the support of such men as Judge P
C. Ham, Hon. W. C. Howell, Hon. J
F. Nall, Hon. Bryant Corbett and oth
ers there and in that section. I am
not exaggerating, but it is my opinion
and the opinion of others that
Lowndes county will go for Under
wood if a full vote is polled by at
least 400 or 300 majority. It looks to
me like almost every man I see is for ‘
Underwood. The judge of the supe
rior court, the judge of the city court,
ci#érk, fordinary, tax receiver, sheriff,
about three-fourths of the lawyers,
nearly every prominent business man
it town (Valdosta) and iil:the coun
ty: everyisbank president, three out’
of four cashiers of the banks, all the
»dpctgxggn_d it is the same way from
every. ‘section’, of . fhe” ‘doufitiqd! ¥ ican
hear from. It looks to me like we
will get 75 per cent. I heard a
prominent man say on the street that
he had just returned from Thomas
county, that Judge Charles Hansell
said, in his opinion, Thomas county
would vote 75 per cent. of her votes
for Underwood. [ heard a gentleman
from Berrien county say that Under
wood would carry that county and
would also carry Tift and Clinch.”

May Prolong Their Lives
At an advanced age waste is more
rapid than repair. The organs act
more slowly and .less effectually than
in vouth. The circulation is poor, the
Llood thin and watery, the appetite
poor and digestion weak.
We want to say to every aged per
son in this vicinity that Vinol, our de
licious cod liver and iron tonic (with
out oily will prolong life. It creates
an appetite, aids digestion and makes
gocd blcod. In this natural manner
Vinol retards waste and replaces
weaknesg with strength, giving new
life to the worn system.
If people in this vicinity only real
ized how Vinol invigorates old people
we would not be able to supply the
demand.
Try a bottle of Vinol with the un
derstanding that your money will be
returned if it does not help you.
