OWEN CLAIMING
SUPPORT IN UP.
Promised Backing Os
Progressives if Nomin
nated, He Says
BY PAUL N WILSON
SAN FRANC' June 29—Sen-,
ator Oklahoma, threw
a ranks of the sup-
Aw Cox William
G. Democratic nom
ination when he announced that he i
had received absolute assurance from
several prominent progressive Repub-'
lican leaders that they would desert i
the G. 0. P. and stump the country*
for the Democrats, if he, personally, ]
received the nomination at San Train-'
cisco. '
Owen’s announcement, claiming
that he can, if nominated, briifc to
the Democratic party a large element
of Republican voters who are dissat
isfied with the action of the Chicago
nomination, places him in a much
stronger position before the Demo
cratic convention.
Could Bring Big Support
While Owen did not fuel at liberty
to divulge the names Mhis new sup
porters at this time aKis not hard ,
to guess who they may be. Senator
William Squire of lowa and
ex-Senator Moses.E iplapp of Minne
sota, ar<«*k»’W.y 4o SEclose personal
Wki.r, long been
allied with the element
of the Republican party. They are
both known to be disilpbointed with
the action of the G. at Chica-[
Should these two Republicans ■
swing in back of Owen tend desert 1
Harding, they would be t Le to bring
a large following in their Rates, both .
nominally Republicans. They would j
also be able to bring to Owen’s sup
port a certain rj.umber of progressive
Republicans, wno, while objecting to
the reactionary ticket of the Republi- ‘
cans still find the radicalism of La
Follette and his third praty follow- ■
ers too extreme.
Objections to this group to Mc-
Adoo are based upon their belief that
although he is avowedly a progressive
he is in reality a conservative. They I
point to his appointments of William
P. G. Harding and Albert Strauss to,
the Federal Reserve Board and R. C.| 1
Leffingwell as Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury, all of whom they re
gard as extremely conservative.
Bryan Playing Game
They also fear that McAdoo would
be too much under the domination of ■
his father-in-law and would work for
Harding rather than for anyone with
the Wilson brand.
The announcement that Bryan
finds “Senator Owen and Secretary
of Agriculture Meredith among the
few available men thus far motion
ed”
be ob
jectionable to Bryan and Could count
on his support in a fight against the
administration forces.
Leaders who are expecting Bryan
to make an attempt to grab off the
nomination himself, however, say that
they see in Bryan’s announcement
merely an indication that he is sure
neither Owen nor Meredith have any
chance of the nomination, and that
he is supporting them merely as a
means of working himself into a com
manding position.

mending that the legislature bp re

Dry delegates at the Democratic National Convention, who had impa
tiently awaited the arrival of their peerless leader, thought for a moment
that Bryan had arrived unheralded and unsung when the greeting here snap
; shotted took place in San Francisco. But no—it couldn’t be. They recog
' nized the man at the left as Arthur Mullen, national committeeman from
i Nebraska, and wondered how he had managed to arrange the first conven
i tion handshaking episode with Bryan. They crowded close—to discover
that the Bryanesque figure was Isadore Dockweiler, national committeeman
from California, a dead ringer for the peerless one.

Mrs. Mathis Cables
Arrival at Liverpool
Professor J. E. Mathis received a
; cablegram this morning from Mrs.
Mathis, who sailed from New York'
June 19 for England, saying that she!
had arrived safely at Liverpool this 1
'morning. She sailed on the liner'
I Celtic, a large and fast ship, and
.why she should have been ten days
1 on the trip, instead of the customary
five or six, was not explained in the
message.
Mrs. Mathis is returning to her old
home in England to visit her parents,
who live there, and in which country
i she was born. She plans to return to
this country about September 1.
Professor Mathis stated today that
if. his plans worked out, he would
leave here about August 1 for a va
cation of a month or six weeks, go
ing up the Atlantic coast, visiting
his daughter and an old friend on the
way, and going to Canada and up
the St. Lawrence to the Thousand Is
lands, where he would remain until
! Mrs. Mathis return, at which time he
i would meet her in New York and 1
’probably remain with her there for
la week or two of sightseeing about!

Bagley Party Spent
Night in Big Swamp
Dr. Alva Bagley, who with Mrs.
Bagley and their children are spend
ing tne summer at St. Simon's Island
have written friends telling of the
glorious outing they are enjoying at
that resort, which Dr. Bagley de
scribes as “this most beautiful is
land.” To those who would visit St.
Simon’s this summer, Dr. Bagley ad
vises that they make the journey
there in their cars. He advises such
tourists to go byway of Waycross,
rather than Jesup, as he did, as there
are bog holes along the Jesup route,
while sand is the only bad roads
along the route byway of Waycross.
In a letter to a friends describing
his trip, Dr. Bagley states that “my
wife and children, mother, Miss Klos
terman, Mr. Barto .Bagley, all togged
down and spent 'he night in the mid
dle of a big swamp 15 miles from
Brunswick, fighting mosquitoes and
get out. We had some love
ly time. St. Simon’s is a nice place
to visit, has a dandy beach, and in
the near future. I understand we will
have an aqto highway across the
ocean from Brunswick which will
make everything more convenient.
“My wife and mother,” he adds,
“will remain on the island during
t' e warmest weather, as the breezes
and surf are mighty fine.”
To Pour Concrete On
E. College Tomorrow
The laying of concrete on the
East College street paving project
will begin tomorrow, City Engineer
W. D. Tiedeman stated today. All
of the preliminary work is now com
pleted, and with a sufficient supply
of gravel and cement already on the
ground the work of the spreading
the cement roadway will begin at
once. The cement will be reinforced
with wire, the same material as used
on Lee, Taylor and Church streets,
all of which are paved with cement.
Fine Here Remitted;
Camp to Try Soldier
Private Willing, who was arrested
Saturday night and held in the police
barracks until yesterday was releas
ed on request of Captain Lawrence
S. Churchill, commanding officer at
Souther Field, late Monday. He was
turned over to the military authori
ties and will be tried by summary
court, the fine assessed by City Re
corder Fort being remitted.
CAUSE OF PAINFUL
Ij AND SLOW TEETH- >
ING BABIES j
Baby usually cuts its first teeth
soon after the fifth month, The time
varies in different families and may
be delayed by prolonged illness, but
slow or painful dentition is generally
caused by improper feeding, which
produces indigestion, faulty elimina
tion and undernourishment. This
lack of noyr ; shment causes slow for
mation teeth, and naturally
much they come through,
as in later months baby’s gums are
Jjarder.
If the baby is fretful, sleeps poor
ly, loses appetite and occasionally has
a ‘slight fever during teething time,
indigestion is probably the cause, but
care must be taken not to use strong,
irritating drugs that cause inflamma
tion of the delicate membrane of ba
by’s stomach.
One of the beat laxatives for teeth
ing babies is “Baby Ease,” a perfect
ed preparation by a baby specialist
that is easy-acting, non-irritating,
does not produce over-action, or
leave baby constipated. “Baby Ease”
is a safe, harmless and efficient laxa
tive and corrective. Use it and you
will see a wonderful improvement in
your baby, if not, take him to a phy
sician. Ask your druggist for "Baby
Ease,"

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORD.LR
BRYAN YET MAY
BE INEVITABLE
Chance of Victory Gives'
Leaders Big Stage
Fright
June 29—(N.
E. A. Special)—After all Wm. J.
Bryan may be the candidate of the j
Democratic Convention. After Pal
mer has been eliminated and the drys ;
have killed off Cox, the nomination
of Bryan may become inevitable.
Does Bryan want it? A few weeks
ago nobody wanted the Democratic
nomination. It was the “yellow dog”
year of the Republicans. Any Repub
lican could be elected and any Demo
crat would be defeated. It was fated
and predestined.
What have been called the Dem
ocratic bosses were running around
trying to pin the nomination on
somebody—anybody, even Palmer;
and all the regular fellers were climb
ing trees and running up alleys to
get away from it.
But that was before the Chicago
convention. When Harding’s nomina
tion was reported to Fred Lynch,
Democratic boss of Minnesota, he
burst into the familiar words of the
twenty-third psalm: “Thou hast
spread a table before me in the wil
derness, yea, in the presence of mine
enemy—Thou anointest my head with
oil. My cup runneth dver,” etc.
And when he heard that there were
all the makings of a third party in
Chicago, with La Follette as candi
date, he concluded —“Surely good
ness and mercy shall follow me all
the days of my life, and I shall dwell
in the House of the Lord forver.
In other words the Democrats feel
that they have got a real chance.
Some of them feel that the chance is
so good that the man nominated here
is certain to be the next president.
And that’s why the wild-cat’s wild.
All of a sudden nobody believes
Wm. Gibbs McAdoo when he says he
is not a candidate. All of a sudden
Palmer begins to scramble for dele
gates. And all of a sudden Wm. J.
Bryan looms as an encore.
The Federal Trade Commission
and its activities have become a live
issue in the West.
The Democratic platform will con-
I tain a plank on this subject and an
effort will be made by the Western
interests to make the plank a strong
one. Other efforts under cover will
be made by the packing and other
special interests to prevent any such
indorsement.
At the Republican convention the
packing interests were represented by
Senator Jim Watson of Indiana. Wat
son has made several attempts in the
Senate to discredit and undermine
the Federal Trade Commission; and
it was no surprise that he should turn
up as chairman of the resolutions
committee at Chicago and protect
the packers from attack in the G. u.
P. platform.
Nor was it any cause of surprise
that Watson should be in close touch
with “Tommy” Logan, the self-con
fessed lobbyist at Washington of the
packing interests.
The Federal Trade Commission has
made investigations and brought out
facts about profiteers in general and
the profits of the meat trust m par
tciular. Their figures have never
been successfully challenged, though
the packers have spent a fortune in
attempting to discredit them. The
work of the Commission has been ap
proved by members of Congress who
happen to be free from corporation
influence, regardless of party. It pro
vides the basis of the Kenyon-Ken
drick bill for regulating the packers
activities and for starting co-opera
tive enterprises in this industry.
There are many honest Republicans
as there are Democrats supporting
the work of the Federal Trade Com
mission.
As the Commission’s work has be
come better known it has won the
support of large numbers of people
in the We»t. The cattle raisers look
to the Commission to protect them
from extortions by the packers. The
wholesalers and jobbers rely on the
Commission to keep the packers from
driving them out of business. The
League of Women’s Voters, a non
partisan organization of voting wom
en, have endorsed the Commission
and will be active at this convention
do see, that it gets support.

CITY TAX BOOKS
NOT FOR BOARD
Permission to Keep

Denied Equalizers
The use of the city tax assessment I
books which had been request-’
led by the county tax equalizers was!
'denied today after that body had al-1
j ready secured them for comparison |
viih the county returns. The as-'
e sment sheets were requested by
hr- county equalizers, who had]
i planned to retain them during their
j examination of the returns from the'
upon instructions!
from Mayor Sheppard, City Clerk
Eldridge this afternoon demanded
their return.
The reason assigned for the return
of the tax books was that a number
of city tax payers who wished to con
ult their last year’s returns, on call-1
ing at the clerk’s office to make
their assessments this year were in-’
ocnvenienced by the absence of the 1
books. The matter had been com-i

MEftfCAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take a glass of Salt* if your Back
hurt* or Bladder bother*—Meat
form* uric acid.
If you must have your meat every day,
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally, says a noted authority who
tells us that meat forms urio acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their ef
forts to expel it from the’ blood. They
become sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with a dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is tad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
time during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body’s urinous waste get four ounces of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here:
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
j water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize the acids in urine,
so it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, and makes a delightful effervescent
lithia water drink.
