this view overwhelmingly.
Such sharp dicounting of the dam

ial prospects by E. L. Doheny s $l5O,
000 comes from any sources.
“Stay in the race’’ was the burden
of Friday’s ecohoes which came from
all the territory between Oregon and
Florida, but mostly from the central
west.
“The conference will vindicate
McAdoo,” predicted J. T. E. O’Con
nor, of North Dakota, pledging a
complete McAdoo delegation from
his state.
“Keep McAdoo in the race by all
means,” counseled H. L. Bolen, of
Oklahoma,
* “No reason why he should not be
a candidate,” asserted Gov. George
W. Hunt, of Arizona, who is coming
in person. •
“McAdoo’s appearance before the
senate committee has given him a
fresh advontage,” analyzed V. M.
Miles, of Arkansas.
Both the native son candidates,
Senator Johnson and McAdoo, will
spend Sunday in Chicago, when this

SECTCION OF GA. BANK
LAW IS HELT INVALID
The Supreme Court Thursday up
held a decision of the Fulton Su
perior Courty ruling that section 20
of the law creating the State Bank
ing Department is unconstitutional.
This section provides that stock
holders of banks shall be assesed
the amount of their stock in bank
failures. The decision of *he court
holds that the section in question
does not comply with the “due
process” clause of the Constitution.
T. R. Bennett, Superintendent of
the State Banking Department, said
the effect of the decision would be
that the State Banking Department
would have to bring suit against
stockholders instead of assessing
them under the present system.
The Supreme Court was divided
over the question. Judges Russell
Hill and Gilbert were in favor of
upholding the ruling of the lewer
court while Judges Beck, Atikinson
and Hines were against upholding it.
hence the lower court ruling was
sustained by operation of law.

HUSKY DISGRACED FOR HARD|
WORK AND BAD WORDS
New York, —Robert Elam, fore
man of a gang of longshoremen, is
so wrought up by the charges against
him that you could knock him over
with a crow-bar. The disgrace of it!
Robert has been expelled from
Lougshoremen’s locdl No. 9<38 for
“conduct unbecoming a longshore
man.” He asked Justice Lazansky,
of the Brooklyn supreme court, to
issue an injuction suspending this
hasty and drastic action of his col
leagues on the docks until he can
have a trial of the allegations.
There are two counts in the
charges against Elam. One of them
is almost a capita crime in the best
longshore circles, that of using pro
fane language. Robert is alleged ter
have departed from the usual eleg
ance of dock-side diction and to
have restored to such violent exple
tives as “oh, fiddlesticks,” “oh, dang
it,” and “I don’t care a fig.”
The other charge is as bad.
Robert was convicted of calling his
men back to work two and one-half
minutes before thir lunch hour was
up. He says it’s a plot against his
character.
