C. Gordon, of Savannah, in charge, according to announcement made here today. As will be expected, it was point ed out <by Mr. Gordon and other po litical leaders today, the Underwood forces will make an aggressive fight to obtain the support of the solid South for the distinguished Alabamian- As Senator Under wood himself has stated, and which is emphasized here by democratic leaders, it has been eighty years | since a Southern man was elected to the presidency, although Wood tow Wilson, a resident of the North, was a Southern man. While the sectional question ought to be a strong appeal, Geor gia political leaders assert, yet un der the circumstances and consid ering the wealth and power of the South, it is high time that her claims be given respectful consid eration. There is much force in that ap peal now, as Southern newspapers and political leaders state, because the South is able to present a man for the presidency in the person of Senator Oscar Underwood who is a clear-niinded statesman whose services are, it is claimed, sadly needed in the present national crisis.

Rep- Herman Milner, of ffodge/; vice chairman of tin rules committee, was emung those slat- 1 ing they would like to see the speak er run for governor in the cam-1 paign of next year. President Carswell, of the sen-; ate, has decided to enter the gub- j ernational campaign, according to' several of his close friends.

With Norman Kerry and Claire; | Windsor in the leading roles, the play unravels a baffling mystery | story in which the audience is kept 1 guessing, and the identity of the ■ true criminal is not revealed until the very end of the picture. A| massive court room scene shows I 'witness after witness testifying, the) (testimony being depicted in action! (that makes up the principal part lof the play, something the legiti-! mate production could not have: hoped to accomplish. It is the gripping story of a crime; a strange potical illusion by (which an accusation is turned aside, land baffling mystery that glows' put of a man's acquittal. The audi- 1 ence follows every move in the | search for the slayer. Practically . eve,ry<?ne iu the cast comes under isusjli<iion| aiid tftialjy a single flash of >cijow the entire story with a bang, most unexpectedly. Today’s attraction at the Rylan der is “The Drivin’ Fool,” a fast moving, interesting comedy-dframa that keeps audiences roaring with laughter. * N. C.
