CRESSY Illustrated by George Storm I have been “approached.” 1 have been asked to consider running lor Congress from Florida. tVith me on the Republican ticket and William Bryan on the Democratic ticket, if the voters did not laugh, themselves to death I guess one of us would win. To be sure the approaches were not voters in Florida, but if they can raise S2BO, besides what they touched me for, they are going to buy a Ford car and drive down there next winter and take out na turalization papers, and place me in nomination. Os course being just a plain con gressman does not amount to much. All you need is votes enough; and votes are very reasonable in Flori da. I know the best offer I could get last election was two dollars Then, having got elected, you bor row enough to get to Washington. Then you are sworn in. You swear always to love, honor and protect your job. Always to vote the straight party ticket, unless for fi nancial or other renumerative rea sons. You promise always to con ceal and never reveal the sources of your income.' Never to print, stamp, write or inscribe your name on any compromising paper. Al ways to use a code in telegraphing.

It makes no particular dif ference what kind of seeds he sends because they never come up any way. Every once in a while he must make a speech. But as no one ever listens to tfiem he can buy a second hand one in any Washington book store for two dollars that will last him all through his term.

SPARTA HAS GRANITE SUMMER BATHING POOL SPARTA, June 28.—The granite quarry bathing pool on the outskirts of Sparta has been one of the most popular places in this section since the hot weather of the past few days set in. Bathing parties come from surrounding towns by automobile t take a dip in the pool. The pool is hewrn out of the solid granite to a depth of about 20 feet. New bath houses have been erected. Vacation times he can collect his mjleage and then stay in Washing ton and draw time-and-a-half pay for overtime while serving on some Investigating Committee. The only drawbacks I can see to my Florida candidacy is my Yankee dialect and an aversion to chewing jtobacco and mint juleps. I don’t know but what I would do better to run from New Hampshire.

DISPENSERS OF TRUE SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER KLAN DUMPED BY M’ADOO MEN AT N.Y. CONVENTION (Continued From Page One) secret order issued by grand dra gon of Georgia asking all klan delegates to attend the McAdoo con vention in Atlanta and to support Major Cohen for committeeman because he had agreed to protect the klan’s interests at the New York convention. Fully aware that the l.lan pillory was choking their candidate to death, a program of seconding speeches from all the McAdoo states that had not already been called in the nomination roll was prepared and the speakers coached that the klan should either be directly de nouned by name or that the liberty guaranties of the federal constitu tion should be stressed as a McAdoo characteristic. Hence it was that an Irishman from North Dakota denounced the | klan by name in one breath and lauded William Gibbs McAdoo, whose nomination he sconded in the other. When he, pronounced McAdoo’s name the Georgia delegation, which has stood a lot of finger pointing and none too kindly kidding as a “klan delegation,” jumped up on its chairs and put its flag as high in the air-as they could. When a New York newspaper man talked, with O’Connor, the Mc- Adoo Irishman and asked him if his speech was the result of instruc tions by Judge Rockwell, the Mc- Adoo manager. “I refuse to say.” He said, and turned away. Then he turned back and said intently: “Os course, you may draw your own conclu sions,” The McAdoo board of strategy tonight is desperately endeavoring So arrange a William. Jennings Bryan coup by having the former candidate, with his matchless do yuence, make a thrilling personal .’appeal for McAdoo just after Ne braska swings away from his broth er, Charles W. Bryan, and enter;: thp McAdoo column. Under tne rules he can only speak by unani mous consent. ’This would probably be given by ; bqurtesy. The McAdoo leaders figure the psychology of surti :r drama’'WflWrT swing McAdoo through in :: stam pede all of this"however, it is believed will now be of little avail. At any rate the- strategy is antic ipated. M’ADOO OR DARK HORSE MUST WIN NEW YORK, June 28.— —If Me. Adoo does not win, the convention will enter the field of tljp da; k horses. It ig McAdoo or a dark horse; Smith cannot win. Smith is less a candidate than a spear point. Among the auti-MCAdOo leaders, a few from New York really hope and think that Smith may win. This opinion was ex pressed here last night by Mark Sul livan, nationally known newspaper writer and political observer at the Democratic National convention. But the more important generals of the anti-MeAdoo groun* the ones who come from'outside New York, do not expect to.push Smith to vic tory. They are using him as the spear point of their resistqTjee to Mr. McAdoo. If all the candidates except Me Adco and Smitfi were removed from the fight, and if all the .delegates were obliged to vote for one of two —in’Hint event ’ McAdoo ..would get about 6.50 votes and Smith about 450. McAdoo has ibout 400 delegates who are his own under all conditions. There ire about 250 more who will’always be for McAdoo as against Smith, although they would be as well sat isfied with Carter Glass or John W. Davis or of Ark ansas. So that it is McAdoo or one of the dark horses. In' the dark-horse field it is a clear fact that there an -more delegates favorable to John W. Davis than to any other one. Not only* are ’many individual dele gates for him but in addition there is a prevailing current of the Pest sort of sentiment for him. They feel that he has distinction, tha touch of. eminence which in their hearts, the better sort of delegate wants. HUNTS® WASHINGTON LETTEKT«=S BY HARRY B. HUNT NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, June 28.—The Democratic committee, in prepar ing for the New York convention, foresaw a long drawnout siege. I'ickets of admission to the big bat tle carry coupons for 15 days. This provides for a longer session than that attending the record deadlock in Baltimore in 1912 when Champ Clark, with a majority vote in his favor, was unable to pile up the necessary two-thirds and went down to defeat when the deadlock broke in favor of Woodrow Wilson. Just as Clark held a majority at Baltimore, but lost the nomination, so are McAdoo and Smith likely to hold majority at some time during the balloting in New York, only to find the necessary 732 votes still be yond attainment. The accumulating bitterness in the battle between these two camps, each of which will at least hold a vote sufficient to veto the hopes of the other, makes the nomination of either of these first ballot leaders most improbable. » ♦ * Early maneuvering among dele gation leaders makes it appear that Ralston may be the first bene ficiary of a considerable part of the McAdoo strength if and when the breakup begins. Ralston is second choice for a very considerable block of McAdoo delegates, particularly from the mid dle west and south. The first consideration for these delegates will be the incorporation, in the party platform, of a specific and clear-cut plank dealing with ag ricultural relief. With such a plank adopted, they feel that Ralston, next to McAdoo pffers the best chance as a candi date who can stand .on it sympa-i thetically and at the same time hold other elements of support necessary to carry on election. * * * Next To Ralston, the second-line candidate developing early strength, that -makes him appear a sizable factor in., the final showdown is John W. Davis of West Virginia. Davis, although presented as West Virginia’s .favorite son, is a ijjew York attorney with Morgan & Co, among his chief clients. His frienflk'claim hb will inherit a large block ..of, the Sjnith ballots whenever the strength of the New York giv ernoi- begins to disintegrate. This bequest, however, must come at first from Smith delegates out side New York, for New York’s 90 votes will stick through thick an 1 thin to the magnetic man from the East Side. Doubtless they will vote to make the final selection unanimous, should some one other than S'mit’i be the nominee, but they will do so in a daze, scarcely realizing what has happened. For while the following of other candidates can be measured by the usual political consideration, that of Al Smith in his home state- dele gation partakes of an emotional fer vor that defies analysis. To them he is the one heroic figure in the convention. They refuse to lift their eyes be yond him even to consider second choice possibilties. They admit of no second choice. There is a cru sading, almost religious spirit, in their championship that amounts to worship. Just as the old story of the na tive New York’s geographical hori zon ending with the Hudson river was correct, everything west of that being wilderness, so is the political vision of New Yorkers at the con vention limited to Al Smith. He is the beginning and the end of their hopes, the only thing they will consider even for a moment But, algo, just as there is a vast and powerful territory west of the Hudson that is America, there is a large and numerous body of dele gates "from outside New York who cannot see Smith through the New Yorkers’ eyes. They see McAdoo, Ralston, Davis, Glass and a half dozen others as equally aesirable and equally likely to drag down the coveted nomina tion. INOCULATED DOGS ~ ALLOWED ON STREETS DAWSON, June 27.—Canines are permitted on the streets here, provided they wear a tag showing they have been inocculated. A few mon.ths ago the city coun cil passed an~-wdirutnce forbidding dogs on the streets of the city for o certain duration of time , during which they had to be inoculated and kept in. SOUTH STILL NEEDS BUILDINGS GALORE Construction Still Going For ward At Record Rates—New Industrial Growth Reported ATLANTATjune 28.—While the buildin;- shortage in some sections of the country appears to have been practically met by the great building program of the last year pr so, it is not the case in many sections of the South where build ing construction is still going for ward at record rates, according to Heutz, Reid and Adler, nationally known architects of Atlanta. A study of conditions over the South, in which the Atlanta archi tects are designing may structures, indicate, it was stated, that this great constructive program is not being carried out blindly, but in response to actual needs. Despite the huge total of building in the South on the last three years, it was pointed out, rents are stationary m all larger centers and the demand excellent. The higher standard of living which the new era has brought to the South, it was asserted here by mortgage bond houses, has created a demand for modern living quar ters which are a steady and consist ent source of income to owners of the better grade houses, apartments and hotels. That the South is taking new strides in industrial and commercial growth while other sections of the country are perhaps marking time, was pointed out here today by Mr. Adler, of the Atlanta architectural firm. He said that while there is no mushroom boom, the section is the center of the nation’s greatest pro gressive activity at the present time. Building records are quite accurate indexes to the progress and pros perity of a population, Mr. Adler said. Miss Irma Tooke ehas returned from Charlotte, N. C. where she spent several weeks delightfully with Mrs. Homer Daniel and Miss Vera Brady. _____ ANNOUNCEMENT To our customers and the public gen erally.
