BY WILL M. 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

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

know but what I would do better
to run from New Hampshire. Only
they know me too well up there.

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.

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.

from Charlotte, N. C. where she
