■ATURDAY AFTERNOON, AUGUST 2, 1924 11 FOLLETTE OFF STIWUNTILSEPT. dependent Ticket Leader, Pushed Into Background by Organization Problems WASHINGTON, August 2.—Be cause of the demands of organiza l ' tion problems and work on Congres i sional questions to be raised in sev- I .forthcoming primaries, speech miking plans for Senator La bol lette and Wheeler, the independent ticket, have been pushed tempo rarily’into the background. It now appears probable that neither of I the candidates will take the stump f much before the early weeks of September. Members of the Progressive Na tional Committee believe that until the principal work of organization j f completed, the threatened filing of duplicate electoral lists prevent ed in all cases where possible, and other measures looking toward a f , ooth-working party machine, the candidates cannot themselves ad vantageously be put into the field. The position of the independent candidates with respect to prohibi tion was discussed at La Follette headquarters today because of at- ■ tacks launched by temperance or- A ganizations on Senator La Follette’s ■ dry views. The possible issuance of public statement by the candidate Klear!;.- defining his attitude was giv " en some consideration for a later stage of the campaign. It is said, however, that the candi dates took the position that pro hibition question could not be con sidered a paramount issue is their campaign in view of what they con sider far more important issues. tipaign headquarters today j both good and bad news con £g the alignment of Progres -1 behind their ticket. John Indianapolis, nominated for Mident by the National Indepen dent party, was reported to have withdrawn in favor of the La Fol lette-Wheeler ticket, while H. A. Baker, head of the Michigan Grange and originally identified with the Conference for Progressive Political Action, which asked Senator La Follette to run, announced his sup port of President Coolidge. JAM SEES REAL t PROSPERITY AHEAD (Continued from Page One.) ness in all lines has been “dull’, but with me the season has not been nearly so dull as during pre vious years. With the inaugura tion of my new method of discount, ing prices for cash, with net thirty day credits, backed by liberal ad vertising, sales in my store have been most gratifying. Figures show sales since the inauguration of my advertising campaign, and dis count plan shows sales increased gratifying in comparison with cor responding moths in previous years This is most encouraging, and! to my mind demonstrates conclusively (that advertising pays good divideus, even during the so-called ‘dull sea sons.’ "The outlook for fall business, I believe, is better than during many years at this season. Farmers, marketing their crops, will have plenty of money to spend. They (have been living from ‘hand-to mouth so long as regard needed articles until their closets are bare. Hundreds of homes, probably will purchase more heavily this fall than during years past; more artices are needed for home uses because far mers and others whose principal in come is derived from agricultural operations have refrained from all except absolutely necessary buy ing- , “With this prospect, I expect to keep my shelves well stocked with seasonable merechandise. The imerchant who has the goods this tall—and who advrtises them wise ly and consistently—will get the business. I believe Sumter county is soon to be again enjoying it‘s old time prosperity, with better times experienced in all lines of business in Americus and throughout this section.” | Couzens Promises Sensational Investigation t (Continued from Page One.)

Suddenly came the announcement that be had hired Francis J. Heney, San Francisco graft prosecutor, to help him out. This means a sure-enough in vestigation—at once. The outcry wa s terrific. Presi dent Coolidge himself joined in the protest, scolding the senate for do ing so much investigating, anyway. Couzens had no right to hire a lawyer of his own, he said. Can’t Stop Them But the Senate supported Cou zens. Since it was doubtful if he did have a right to his his own law yer, a resolution was adopted for Heney’s employment by the Sen ate. At that point Couzens, the in vestigation’s whole inspiration, fell ill. From that moment not anoth er word about the inquiry was said and it generaly was believed —and hoped by some—it had been forgotten, until a few days ago, when, most unexpectedly, Senators Qouzens, King and Jones called on Chairman Watson, with the news they were ready to begin again. Chairman Watson resigned. Sen ator Ernst was out of town, but it was expected he wuold quit, toq. Little, however, care Couzens, King and Jones. They decided to go ahead by themselves. Couzens was elected chairman. But to avoid the slightest sug gestion of animus, the three de cided to select other counsel in place of Heney. They set Sept. 2 for the start There is small doubt they will make it then. If it develops what many officials prediet* it will, it will be among the most sensational features of what promises already to be a most unusual presidential campa'gn, THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER FIILTOH FFIRS HEAVY LOSS Error in Wording of Anti-Fee Bill May Cost County Admin istration $300,000 ATLANTA, August 2.—An error in wording of the bill now pending in the general assembly, placing Fulton county officias on a salary basis, wil cause a oss of $75,000 a (/ear to the county uness the meas ure is corrected before it becomes law, members of the sub-comniit tee of the Fulton county democra tic executive committee were in formed by Chairman Charles I.

Present wording of the bill will divert into the state treasury each year, Mr. Branan said, about $75,000 of fees for collection of state and special taxes which should remain in the county treas ury when officials are placed on a salary basis. Unless corrected this year the present wording must re main effective for four years, Mr. Branan stated, which would cost the county at least $300,000.
