Must Win Or Lose With Man Now In White House r CAN’T NOMINATE M’ADOO Homer Cummings Regarded As ; Most Likely Among ‘Dark Horses To Get Nomination By HARRY B. HUNT 1 WASHINGTON, March 5 , These are tile dopey days for the > Democrats. Wherever two or more Democrats foregather, the inevitable first question is: “Well, what’s the dope?” Meaning, always, the deep inside political prognostication as evolved ‘ by the boys with their ears to the 1 ground and their eyes on the presi dency. Here it is. Cooliflge will be the Republican nominee. No .Democrat disputes that. The G. O. P. must win or lose with the man now in the Whit" House. To repudiate him would be to ad mit a mistake in 1920 and concede I failure of the present administra tion. With that settled, the Democrat ic dopesters then set about picking , the man to unseat Coolidge. That's a more problem! Cox? Outdistanced in 1920. A good campaigner, forceful magnetic but handicapped by his former de feat. Little chance. McAdoo? A favorite, irreparably lamed as a candidate because of his Oil connections. Personally and politically th Ibest fighter and most alert brain in the party, but now too unvaluable. His candidacy would tie the hands of his party in using effectively the chief bludgeon by which the Democrats may be able to beat down the G. O. P. —Oil! Ralstn? Well—a possibility. Not too well known. No enemies. Maae a good governor. Rather old, rath er consrvative, but born in Ohio and residing in Indiana is geogra phically well 'placed. A possibility —hardly a probability. Al Smith of New York? Too bad. He has the sort of personality and popularity that would be invaluble. But a Tammany Catholic could gar ner few votes! in the debatable mid ' die west and west, where the battl must be won. Not available. If none of these, then who? Well —Copeland of New York, progres sive, vigorus, magnetis. A doctor president might restore the body politics to health. John W. Davis? Um-m. Not like ly. A charming fellow personally, but a bit up-stage for a popular candidate. A silk stocking air Nope! Josephus Daniels? Well, perhaps. He headed the Navy Department when the sailors covered themsleves with glory in the World War. He was the object of many jibes, but he defended the naval oil lands from many assaults of these who wanted to exploit them. Cordell Hull? Carter Glass? Hom er Cummings? Wait a bit! Homer Cummings. There’s a good poltician. Foxy Think this over: If McAdoo can’t Ibe nominated the man who is nominated will need the votes of McAdoo supporters. The decision of McAdoo’s backers at Chicago to keep him in the fight insures his friends having the vein power in the New York convention. If they can’t put him across they can say who will or will not get across. And while all other potential deni ocratic candidates were sitting back smugly, smiling to themselves at McAdoo’s discomfiture, figuring how his seeming elimination had helped their chances, Homer Cum mings was up at Chicago himself shouting for McAdoo, proclaiming him the hope of progressive demo cracy—and incidentally making himself solid with the McAdoo forces as a potential dark horse when and if it is established Mc- Adoo cannot pull down the nomin ation. Well, that’s the dope. Unsatis factory stuff, always creating an appetite for more. But the supply in Washington is endless. For these are the dopey days! GEORGIA TRUCKERS FORM ASSOCIATION CAMILLA, Ga., March s.—At a mass meeting in Camilla, sponsored by the Lions Club, a truck growers association was organized for the benefit of sweet potato growers and growers of other truck in and near Camilla district. The new associa ! tion claimed tre services of some .< the most prominent men of the county. Sign-up movements were put on I foot and a large acreage of sweet potatoes was promised as a starter.

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER I FARMERS EXEMPTED* FROM LICENSE TAX DAWSON, March s.—While tre license tax ordinance for this year, . adopted here recently remains the same in the general outline, there are several changes which are de signed so that farmers who raise home products may benefit from it. .

STEAL CHICKEN COOP; LEAVE FOWLS BEHIND ATLANTA, Ga , March s.—Two men resorting to the old method of “grabbing it and run” in the game of chicken stealing were the vic tims of a ludicrous affair here re cently. They drove up in front of a butcher shop, jumped out and seized a chicken coop containing a large number of the fowls and threw it into their car and made good their escape. However, their raid did little damage as the owner of the shop had unfastened the bottom of the coop and the chickens were left, the men getting onty the top l of the coop.
