HUNT WASHINGTON, Aug. s.—(Spe cial). —The presidential election next Nov. 4 may be important, his torically, far beyond any election since the Civil War. It may become I a mile-post, marking a very definite point in Amercan affars. Ths importance lies not in thS remotely possible election or Sena tor Da Follette to the Presdency. It lies not in the recognized possi bility that the election may be dead locked and the choice of a presi dent thrown into Congress. it does not even lie in the virtual vertainty that an “independent'’ , balance of power will be returned in the new Congress. Tiie really important possibility in the coining election is that it will place on a secure and permanent footing a new national party—a “third’’ party sufficiently strong and aggressive to sit in at the na tional political game on terms of equality with Republicans and Dem ocrats. Despite the fact that Senator La Follette and his followers have dis claimed the formation at this time of a new national political party, running simply as ‘independents,” (Continued On Page Five) PBETOmEHE no F«i m ‘White Cross’ Endeavor Pro gressing Favorably Under Di rection of Mrs. Morgan Americus Presbyterians are great ly interested in the “White Cross” work which was inaugurated as part of the state work at the Macon Presbyterial last fall, and which has been progressing favorably here under the able direction of Mrs. E.
