THE PRESIDENTIAL
NOMINATION.
It is evident that Calvin Cooledge
will win the Republican nomination
by a considerable majority of dele
gates at the national convention of
that party, Hiram Johnson, the Jim
Reed of that organization, being his
only opponent.
Republicans nominate under the
majority rule, while the Democratic
party continues to operate under the
two thirds rule, which should have
long ago been abolished, as it places
the minority in a position where it
can defeat the will of not only a
majority of the convention delegates,
but also of the people.
For this reason, it is very seldom
that the choice of even a decisive
majority of the democratic party is
nominated for president, and some
“dark horse” generally walks away
with the plum.
A number of these sable colored
horses are already scheming to
defeat the strongest democrat in the
presidential contest, by alacing
“favorite” lons in nomination in
their respective states, so as to give
them control of their delegations to
the national democratic convention,
and it is only necessary to capture
one over one third of the total mem
bership of that body to defeat the
will of an overwhelming majority.
The only vowed democratic can
didates in the field, at this time, are
William G. McAdoo, Oscar W.
Underwood, Cox, of Ohio, and the
notorious Jim Reed, of Missouri.
Cox will probably carry his own state,
and nothing more, while it is corf
fidently predicted that McAdoo will
capture Missouri. Where the Ohio
delegation will go when the break
away hour comes in the convention,
is unknown.
McAdoo and Underwood are the
only candidates in the field who
will carry a single state except his
own.
Underwood is clean, able and
first class presidential timber, but
stands no chance of receiving the
convention vote of over a dozen
states, his principal strength being
in the south.
Even if nominated there would be
no chance of election, for the reason
that the women and also the prohi
# ♦
bitio vote, inside his party, would
not support him because he opposed
women suffrage, and the federal
constitutional amendment abolish
ing the liquor traffic, both of
which McAdoo favored.
The labor vote of the entire coun
try will stand by McAdoo, as will the
great body of the farmers in the
west and middle West, because of
what he did for them secre
tary of the treasury.
He is responsible for the law that
enables farmers to borrow money
from the federal reserve banks, at
5 per cent interest, and on 33 years
time, if they see fit to keep the
money for that time, but can repay
whenever they choose, within that
limitation.
He and Senator Glass, of Virginia,
drafted the federal reserve bank
law, which is the greatest piece of
legislaation enacted in over a half
century, as it destroyed the power
of predatory wealth to corner the
money of the country and produce
panies at will.
The only two states that have had
primaries for the presidential nom
ination up to this date, were carried
by him. '
The republicans in congress, aid
ed and abetted by Senator Jim Reed,
fearing McAdoo’s strength before
the American people, undertook to
besmirch his record by connecting
him with the notorious Teapot Dome
oil deal, but he asked to go before
the senatorial investigation com
mittee, and absolutely demonstrated
the falsity of that accusation.
Doheney, of California, is a very
large oil operator, and has made
many millions in that business,
among his holdings being large con
cessions in the Mexican oil fields.
Mexico had adopted a constitu
tional amendment confiscating the
oil lands in that country held by
foreigners, and Doheney employed
McAdoo to get that law repealed,
which he succeeded in accomplish
ing, and was paid a fee of $150.00.
This all occurred years after Mc-
Adoo had retired to private life and
held no official position.
Many Americans besides Do
heney had oil properties in Mexico
at that time, and their holdings were
also protected.
No sane, fair minded man can
possibly see wherein Mr. McAdoo
did the slightest wrong in this mat
ter, and there Isn't a single lawyer
in the United States who would
have refused such employment.
The people now fully understand
this, and see the great injustice his
political enemies attempted to do
him, and will indignently resent it.
McAdoo is a native Georgian,
having been born in Cobb county,
but his father moved to Milledge
ville at the close of the Confeder
ate war, in which he served, so that
he grew to manhood there, and af
terwrds went to New York.
Georgia will stand by her native
son, and roll up a sweeping majority
for him on the 19th of this month.
PROFITING THROUGH SERVICE.
When merchants build new stores,
add additional sales space, install
new fixtures, improve their show
windows, augment their sales forces,
replenish their stocks with the best
and newest, it is for the public. Of
course they are in business for the
purpose of making a living,' but to
make that living they must first
give service, so their first objective
is always “to serve and please.”
“Fair exchange is no robbery” Ss
a business phrase which has been
handed down from generation to gen
eration and now seems to have ae
luired immortality. The laborer ex
•hanges his labor for his wage. The
capitalist exchanges his money for
his interest. The manufacturer ex
changes his products -for his cost of
productioni plus profit, the profes
sional man exchanges his services
for his fees or his salary, the store
keeper exchanges his goods for cost
plus service charge. Everybody is
in business for himself by being in
business for somebody else. Like
the public official, the merchant is
in business for society and therefore
every member of that society is his
employer, his boss.
One of the compensations of busi
ness is public recognition and
appreciation come to none sooner
than to the business man who really
serves. A flourishing trade is synon
ymous with public trust and confi
dence. Service must ever precede
sucess is business.
Descriptive of the modern spirit of
business is that motto of an inter
national club of business men which
reads:
“He who serves best profiteth
most.”
SMALL BEGINNING.
The comparative unimportance of
certain works of men, held by him
at the time as of the highest inter
est, and the amazing life inherent in
what, in its beginning, is often
looked upon as of no importance, is
strikingly illustrated in two news
dispatches of the day.
One tells of the armistice me

The Moabite stone, discovered in
1859, dating back to 850 B. C. is the
earliest record of an alphabet the
world possesses, except for this new
discovery.
To us of today the armistice wad
the most important event in our
lives. It meant the end of war, pri
vation, death,, suffering. It meant—
so we thought—a new world order,
charity, peace, brotherho<Kl of na

happiness.
To those who carved them, the
stones on which they “wrote” their;
alphabet were probably of no great
er importance than the primer in
which we print ours. Yet the al

Buick Character
Makes Buick Value
Buick value is something more than appears
on the surface. It is more than the excellence
and beauty of Buick design—more than the
greater riding comfort, power and safety that
Buick provides. Buick’s value comes from
the sum total of all those Buick qualities and
traditions which together make up Buick
character. A Buick owner fully appreciates
Buick character. He knows the dependable,
satisfying and trouble-free transportation
which Buick gives, however long or however
far a Buick owner may elect to drive his car.

GEORGE APPOINTMENT
Washington, D. C., February, 26
1924.—Senator Walter F. George
has been appointed as the ranking
Democrat on the Sub-Committee of
the Senate Committee on Post Office
and Post Roads, to conduct the hear
ings and to formulate a bill outh of
the large number of hills introduced
in the Senate providing for an incre
ased compensation for postmasters
and certain classes of post office and
railway clerks, city carriers, and for
maintenance or equipment allowance
for R. F. D. carriers. The Sub-

committees of the Senate and House
will conduct public hearings, com
mencing March Srd.
We frequently read of parties
suffering and dying in cities from
the effects of poison liquor. The
doctors don’t seem to understand
giving relief. Or it may be that the
patient have not money sufficient to
pay any of these physicians for their
medicine, time and trouble. Medici
nes come high now. Even a dose of
saults. We have no deaths from
no deaths in this country. Everone
who drinks it and gets on too much
never thinks about sending for a
physician, but uses his own remedy.
First by sticking his forefinger of
the right hand down hi throat, which
is sure to make him vimit. If the
sttomach seems to be scorched the
patient eats a spoonful of pure lard
to draw out the fire, followed by six
raw eggs to heal the damaged places
in theinner tube or- lining of the
stomach. TThis puts the patient in
tip-top shape, ready to chamber a
pint or more of sour kraut. This
fits him up so he can walk the
prohibition or temperance plank if
he decides, and get home before
morning.—Dahlonega Nugget.

Decision on Printing
Georgia Department
Reports Is Deferred
Atlanta, Ga.—Decision to post
pone action on the manner in which
state department reports are to be
printed this year, until the legislat
ure meets in June, was reached at a
meetingof the state printing commis
sion, held Thursday morning.
Last year the legislature pased a
bill providing that all department re
ports shall be published in one blue
book, instead of spearately, as here
tofore. The idea, it is presumed,
was to enconomise on the printing
cost. When it was found Thursday
that the cost, instead of being lower,
would be higher, it was decided to
ask the legislature just what portions
of the reports it desired eliminated,
if any.
