Atlanta Theater Secured For
Gathering of Democrats
There Next Wednesday
ATLANTA, April 18.—The state
democratic conventior. will meet at
the Lyric theater next Wednesday,
negotiations for use of the house
having been completed Thursday.
George Keene, manager of the
Kimball House who has been as
sisting Chairman Ed Maddox, of
state executive committee, in
search of a hall, announced
Thursday that the Lyric had finally
been engaged. The Lyric Players
do not give a matinee performance
on Wedijjsdays and the only condi
tion impose upon the politicians for
its use is that they conclude ses
sions in time for the night perfor
mance.
The Lyric has a seating capacity
of aproximately 1,800, and inas
much as 1,500 is reported as the
largest crowd to attest a state po
litical convention in the past, it is
believed there will be ample room
this year. The city auditorium
could not be used because the con
vention date fell in grand opera

WASHINGTON
LETTEKaW
BY HARRY B. HUNT
NEA Service Writer
WASHINGTON, April 18.—
"Hell an’ Maria” Dawes, who head
ed the commission drafting the new
German reparations proposal, isn’t
usually considered by his support
ers for positions of secondary rank.
In ary ordinary situation, Dawes
leads or else he doesn’t go along.
In the A. E. F., his was the last
word on problems of purchase and
supply. As commissioner appointed
to establish the government’s bud
get system he was accountable to
no one except President Harding.
As a member of the reparations
body, he sat at the head of the
table.
It is with some trepidation, there
fore, that Republican leaders are
debating the method of approach in
suggesting to Dawes that he become
the tail to the party’s kite in the,
coming campaign and ’“accept” the
nomirution for vice president on a
ticket with Coolidge.
* * *
With Dawes filling second place
on the ticket, they believe addition
al popularity could be given the
Coolidge campaign. Certainly
Dawes would go far toward making
I the campaign more picturesque.
1 His fluency of expression aid his
graphic vocabulary would counter
balance the taciturnity and the dig
nified utterances of “Cautious Cal.”
But how would the tender of the
vice presidency strike Dawes? In
itself it isn’t ar.' office presenting
opportunities for energy and action.
The vice presdent can’t join in Sen
ate debates.
The only matters he can decide
are points in parliamentary law.
He isn’t ever, supposed to pound
energetically with the senatorial
gavel, to enforce decorum, but to
tap with it lightly and genteelly, in
a sort of “Gentlemen, be calm!”
man r. er.
And as an opportunity for using
the expletives with which Dawes
prefers to emphasize his remarks,
it presents none at all.
» » »
Dawes is suspected of having
harbored a presidential bee. But
as Coolidge has a corner on the
Republicar. hive this year, Charley
must eMier carry his bug under his
own h« for another four years or
surrender it to the Coolidge swarm
accepting the place of a drone in
county.
The petition of the Farmers Cot
ton Oil Company shows unto the
court the following facts:
1. That on the 4th day of June
1904 it was created and made a body
corporate for a term of twer.ty (20)
years with the privilege of renewal
at the expiration of that time. (See
Minute book R page 410 of Sumter
Superior court.)
2 That said charter of said cor
poration will expire on the 4th day
o's June 1924.
3 That the stockholders of said
corporation desire to renew said
charter, as set out in the original
act of incorporation, for a period of
twenty (20) years, beginning witn
June 4th 1924.
4. Attached hereto is a copy of a
resolution adopted by the stockhold
ers, authorizing the President of said
corporation to petition the court for
a rer ewal of said charter.
5. That no amendments have been
made to said original charter.
WHEREAS, petitioner prays that
t may be granted a renewal of said
charter with all the rights, and pow
ers cor ferred in the original act of
incorpration.
RESOLUTION
Be it resolved by the stock-holders
of the Farmers Cotton Oil Company,
at a called meeting assembled, that
order to get a taste- of the- party!
eweets. ’
Maybe Daw'es will do this. Maybe
he sees a chance to jazz up the
vice presidency, or to use it—in
case of a Republican victory this
year—as a stepping-sto? p toward
the top of the ticket jn 1928. In
.that case, the verbal pyrotechnics
of the coming campaign will be
among the most spectacular in his
tory.
In case he declines to accept
second place in the bar.dwagon,
these pyrotechnics may explode in
the face of the persons who pre
sume to make the proposal.
Which is why Republican leaders,
anxious to have a popular and
spectacular man from the middle
I west to balance the ticket, arc
hunting for a spokesman with,
nerve enough to “tell it to Charley.”

New interest may be aroused
over America’s attitude toward
European affairs, particularly with
respect t 0 the World Court and the
League of Nations, as a result of
Secretary Hughes’ proposed visit
abroad this summer.
Hughes’ trip will be made, osten
sibly, merely to attend the conven
tion of the American Bar Associa
tion in England in July. Just how
many, if any, of the continental
capitals he will visit is not yet de
cided.
Barring Robert Lansing’s attend
ance at the Paris peace conference,
Hughes’ trip will be the first visit
ever paid to Europe by an Ameri
ca’- secretary of state while in of
fice. With the increasing drift to
ward closer world contacts, how
ever, it is not likely to be the last.
