BIRMINGHAM IS
DISAPPOINTED IN
CENSUS FIGURES
Birmingham is so disappointed
over the 1920 census giving her
>78,270, that she is making every ef
•of-j to secure a recount.
Th# Birmingham News, in an edi
torial following tne announcement
from Washington, expresses the
Birmingham spirit as follows:
‘'Birmingham is disappointed.
' “Birmingham will not bear its disap
pointment without vigorous protest and an
earnest attempt at redress.
“The figures announced from Washington
Tuesday morning are at least 25,000 below
Birmingham’s actual population, and while
tWre is much cause ’for gratification in
Jre fact that this city passed several others
over the country that stood higher in the
count ten years ago, Birmingham wants its
real population published to the world.
“The fact that Birmingham’s rate of
growth in the past ten years was nearly 5
per cent greater than Atlanta's will be
pleasing to most, persons, but one cannot get
away from the fact that in the popular
mind, at least, the gain on Atlanta has been
much greater than a mere 5 per cent.
“Every effort should be made promptly
and effectively to obtain a recount. There
has been widespread disappointment over
the country generally at the population fig
ures announced from time to time, and doz
ens of cities and towns are reported to have
lemanded recounts. Each of these cases
rill have to be judged on its merits. As
tor Birmingham, the people who have been
>ver the ground know that Birmingham has
nore than 178,270 people within its city
limits. •
"The News calls upon the chamber of
jommerce, the Civic association, the Rotary
dub, the Kiwanis club, the Civitan club,
the Community club, the Real Estate ex
:bange, the city commission and others to
jet busy immediately to see that justice
s done, funds ehouir be raised, if neces
*ry, to guarantee the expenses of a re

he congressmen of the state should be
ailed upon to help. The News suggests
n immediate meeting of the heads of the
Bivie organizations to plan a fight for slm-
Kle justice ard, if desirable, to call a mass
Bieeting to determine upon ways and means.
B “This is a serious matter. Birmingham
Boes not want to stand branded the next
Ben yesrs as ». eity of 175,000, as the figures
fcn soon come to be thought of in the
Bbpnlar mind.
B “There is magic ir the figures 200.000.

Bi that class.

ONLY WOMAN TO
MAKE 2 SPEECHES
BY LABEB ST. CLAIB
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., July I.
Oratory here was as bad as it was
at the’ Republican convention. But
briefer. Former Congressman Fitz
gerald, a great New York humani
tarian forced through a rule limit
ing each speaker to twenty minutes
gab| Some day he hopes to abolish
speeches by law.
The bird who blew a fishhorn just
as a woman was pinning wings to
Mitch Palmer in a seconding speech
got the best laugh of the day.
A hero, when he said he would
take one minute to nominate Mere
dith, Claude Porter, of lowa, after
fiften minutes talk, left the platform
a heckled and subdued .party.
If Homer Cummings does not get
this nomination, he can blame the
band leader. After ohn S. Crosby
had thrilled the convention with a
bejeweled speech, a pompadour and
neat fitting katydid, coat, the band
struck up "America.” Everybody
stood, and, according to custom
when the anthem is played, got
solemn and then sat down quietly at
the end, forgetful of Homer’s boom.
"Oh, you beautiful doll,” played
by the band when Mrs. Susan Fitz
gerald, a Boston grandmother,
seconded Owen made her blush like
a school girl.
Mrs. Gavin McNab has the distinc
tion of being the only woman who
has addressed the meeting twice.
She spoke yesterday on a resolution
and today on seconding a patriot.
Al Burleson, the postman, pulled
up lame and late at the speaking. His
dogs bothered him s o last night in
the Palace lobby that he draped him
self over a mail box and stood on
one foot like a crane.
udge Cas Welch, of Kansas City,
who never harmed anybody, got a
message from home saying that he
was being homed by his enemies for
vice president.
George Creel who is putting
commas in the platform, told me con
fidentially today that he is making
so much dough out of memory train
ing that he does not care if gas goes
to a dollar a pint.
The first set of whiskers brought
officially to the platform were fast
ened to the chin of U. N. G. Cherry,
of South Dakota, who idehtified Am
basador Gerard as a candidate.

Dies of His Wounds
DALTON, Ga., July I.—Hiram
Hyde, cotton mill operative, last
night shot and fatally wounded by
Carter L. King, mayor pro tem. oi
Dalton, died early Thursday as a re
sult of the wounds. Hyde figured
in divorce and alimony proceedings
between King and his wife, and the
two men met Wednesday night on
Hamilton street, a quarrel resulting
which ended in a fist fight, several
blows being passed after which King
drew a pistol, it is said; and shot
Hyde, the first bullet entering the
body, and as Hyde was running into
Jesse Holland's store, a second bul
let passed through his arm.
Mayor Wood, being absent as a
delegate to the Democratic conven
tion, King was acting mayor of Dal
ton.
Earlier in the afternoon, Archi
Car-gal shot Cart Puryear through
the thigh at Puryear’s home in North
Dalton. The trouble between the two
had as its beginning Mrs. Cargal’S
divorce proceedings against her hus
band, Mrs. Cargal being a sister oi
Furyear. His wound is not serious.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., July I.
Yesterday wa§ devoted to St. Larynx,
chief patron saint of North Amer
ican politics. In his honor, the un
clarified Democracy conducted the
customary rites and ceremonials.
Nearly everybody who had a speech
in his system—as who, indeed, did
not so have?—was given an oppor
tunity to train it off before it be
gan to turn on him. t
Not only was this in accord with
the traditional ethical code of a na
tional convention, but it embodied a
sanitary side as well. Like the
Mosaic laws, it had a backgrourtd
of hygienic sanity behind its more>
ritualistic aspects.
You take a provisional orator and
you let him churn his soul brimful
of eloquence, and, in that state,
you fetch him clear across a wide
continent in the middle of summer,
and along about the middle of the
week you just naturally must let
him open his spigot or else you run
grave risk of having on your hands
a malignant case of auto-fermenta
tion, complicated with acute nervous
disappointment. Such a person is
liable to get caught out in a thun
derstorm and clabber. Indeed, even
on this rainless coast, some of the
corn-fed Ciceros were already be
ginning to go sour when this morn
of deliverance dawned.
preliminary rumors gave promise
of a rich feast for those who loved
the sound of the human voice up
lifted in rhetorical outpourings. The
program, as tentatively sketched,
called not only for words of wis
dom and statesmanship from vet
eran sages who led the party in the
days before it became a co-educa
tional institution, but also brief re
marks from some of the newly ad
mitted female councillors, or, as say
ing goes, sage-hens. The gallus is
no longer the most common visible
emblem of a shirtsleeves Democracy.
The dress shield has come into its
own at last, and the suspender walks
hand in hand with the blouse that
buttons down the back.
Haw, the Human Geyser
It was also reported in advance of
the services that several newly dis
covered and previously uncharted
silver-tongued brethren and sistern
would be given a chance to mount the
rostrum and gargle the English lan
guarde forth upon the convention air
But, personally, I felt that I must
continue to yield my allegiance to
the dependable stand-bys of past
conventions. For example, I craved
again to harken to Ham Lewis, the
human geyser of American politics.
Unless I might watch Old Faithful
spout I felt that the proceedings
would lack a note hallowed and made
dear by familiarity. And, as a lover
of traditional institutions, I deplored

Same Odds Quoted on
Wilson, McAdoo, Smith
NEW YORK, July I.—Betting in
the financial district today on the
Democratic presidential nomination
was on a basis of odds of 9 to a
against Governor Alfred E. Smit.i
of New York being selected. The
same «_dds were placed against
President Wilson and William G.
McAdoo.
Odds cf 6 to 1 against the chances

took him back to his cot; In the Los
Angeles jail.
The multi-murderer was sentenc
ed to life, imprisonment by Superior
Judge Frank Willis, of Lbs Angeles.
His concession, which was to be
made public at once, was said to in
volve the murder of nine wives and
at least a score of bigamous mar
riages. The confession was wrung
from him on promise of life impris
onment by District Attorney Wool

"There is no story like it in the
pages of crime,” said Woolwine.
a tendency on the part of some to
keep Mr. Bryan tightly caulked
Could it be that Mr. Bryan’s vogue
as a Demesthenian favorite began to
wane when, politically speaking, he
quit being a noun and became a
verb? i
This also was the day predestined
for many little booms to wither
away; many a one who had fancied
himself‘a promising dark horse was
pained to discover that he was merely
a gelding. On entering the emerg
ency hospital attached to the con
vention hall I found one poor, pallid
little thing stretched upon a cot,
picking with listless fingers at the
coverlid. At a second pitying ‘look
I recognized It.- It was the Girard
boom. It was at an early hour the
Owen boom was found floating in
the bay.
The Oklahoma delegates have been
requested to serve as pallbearers.
From where I sat the Cox boom
appeared t° be fading rapidly. Right
before your every eyes you could
see it losing flesh. And, yet no
longer ago than Monday, it was
blithe and hearty. Cox boosters,
wearing virginally white trousers and
striped bands on their hats, were
here, there and everywhere. They
were still about today, but the steam
had evaporated from their ballyhoo
ing, and the white panties had be
gun to show a mottled effect of black
dapples, like a snowfall in Pittsburg
or a Dalmatian drop.
Such is the way of many a prom
ising boomlet. One day it is full
of pep and the next full of embalm
ing fluid. From wassail to under
taker is but a step; and only too
often the chief difference between
yesterday’s loving cup and tomorrw’s
casket is a matter of a few more
silver handles.
In this connection I have just heard
an interesting bit of rumor. Should
the McAdoo boom fail—and at noon
it was reported as having a hectic
flush in its cheeks and spitting blood
—I understand Vice President Mar
shall will do his sorrowirtg with reser
vations. He will wear a mourning
band on his left sleeve, but it will
be striped red, white and blue, and,
unless one listens closely, one will
be apt to mistake his sobs for the
sound of muffled cheering.
Cobb Has a .Double
In conclusion, I desire to arise to
a point of order. There is here a
fellow newspaper man from Boston
named Mike E. Hennessey. I fre
quently am being mistaken for him
and he-for me. Certain persons pro
fess to think we look alike as we
sit in the press stand. Indeed wagers
have been laid as to which one of
us looks the most alike.
To my knowledge this is the only
one recorded case of mistaken iden
tity where both parties to the trans
action had a right to feel aggrieved.
I make this statement deliberately
after taking a good look at my un
fortunate conferee. Also in the hope
of avoiding further errors on the part
of strangers I would cite this dis
tinguishing difference. Mr. Hennes
sey is a fat man. I merely am pleas
urably plump.

M'ADOO'S STRENGTH
SIME IS MN'S
EIGHT MS AGO
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Copyright, 1920. for The Atlanta Journal.)
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., July 1. —
Combinations work both ways. One
hears it outlined in menacing pro
portions that a combination of votes
ia s been collected which will pre
vent McAdoo from getting the neces
sary two-thirds. This sort of talk
proceeds naturally and inevitably
from the camps of the opposing can
didates who recognize that McAdoo
is in the lead and that said lead
must be cut down before balloting
actually ’starts in order to brighten
the prospects of their own men to
accumulate votes in progression as
the successive ballots are taken.
But as the veto on McAdoo is con
siderable, so is the veto held by the
McAdoo forces over any other can
didate. The strength of the former
secretary of the treasury in this con
vention is of the crusading kind that
won for Wilson at Baltimore in 1912.
His supporters will stick.
The existence of an anti-combina
tion might better be described as a
ilesire rather than actuality. One
of the so-called organization bosses
from a midwestern state is common
ly reported to be a part of the coali
tion to defeat McAdoo. Today he
was in conference with a McAdoo
manager and practically promised
support to McAdoo after a few early
ballots. .
Cummings Movement Serious
Unquestionably the movement for
Homer Cummings, of Connecticut, is
the most serious factor affecting the
chances of William Gibbs McAdoo.
Scattering strength for Cummings is
making its appearance in delegations
from practically every section of the
country. Men pledged to McAdoo are
reported to be saying that if their
own candidate cannot win, they will
be glad to go over’ to Cummings at
the psychological moment.
This is a species of convention
strategy not -unfamiliar to organiza
tion politics. It is the effort at
trading delegations for expected
patronage if the nominee of .the con
vention should win the election.
Delegates who have been in politics
for years rarely play just one can
didate. They always throw an
anchor to windward and get in on
the ground floor with an expected
winner, especially a dark horse.
Then they usualy insist that the
nomination was due to their strate
gy. Woodrow Wilson has been told
again and again how the deciding
votes were cast for ihm in the fa
mous 1912 convention.
Reason For Dark Horse Talk
So a great deal of the talk of a
dark horse can be attributed to an
early desire to begin trading on the
future, especially if a deadlock is
in prospect.
Now it is obviously Impossible to
tell how the delegates will vote after
the first two or three ballots. The
leaders have made mathematical cal
culations to their own satisfaction
but . the trouble about tabulating the
vote in advance of the balloting is
that the preponderance of strength
is with McAdoo and there is an un
dercurrent of support which is un
mistakably ready to go to him when
ever it looks as if he will be the
winner. . .
If the McAdoo forces hold tight,
they will get up to 600 votes and
push their candidate to the necessary
728. But the McAdoo strength will
develop slower than that of any
other candidate. The supporters of
Mitchell Palmer will stick to him
longer than most people have antici
pated. The Cox leaders and dele
gates aren’t going to give up with
out a real struggle.
Vice Presidential Talk
Some talk is heard of promising
the vice presidency to Cox if the Mc-
Adoo votes should get to 600 and
then making a serious effort to ac
quire Ohio’s votes and others sym
pathetic with COx to make the final
128 to put McAdoo across the two
thirds margin. On the other hand
the Cox people at this stage of the
game aren’t thinking about the vice
presidency and some McAdoo sup
porters insist that if McAdoo is
named, Victor Murdock, of Kansas,
former bull moose leader, shall run
for vice president.
It’s all very well to talk about
coalitions but the Democratic na
tional convention of 1920 is not very
easily controlled except on the issue
of Wilson or anti-Wilson. There isn’t
a one-third veto against the Wilson
forces in this convention. If Mc-
Adoo isn’t named, some out and out
Wilson man will be. The people who
are supposed to have formed an anti-
McAdoo combination would not sus
tain such a move if Palmer and Cox
have apparently lost out. For then
the common foe the anfi-,administra
tion candidates, would be trotted
forth.
If McAdoo can’t win. the conven
tion will be indefinitely deadlocked.
Efforts in behalf of Homer Cum
mings already are being made. There
is a distinct drift toward him as a
second choice on the part of both Mc-
Adoo and Palmer men and even Cox
supporters. But thus far the lead
still is held by McAdoo with excel
lent chances that his following will
grow from ballot to ballot and with
excellent prospect, moreover, that the
anti-McAaoo combination will never
function as smoothly as its analogy
at Chicago which beat Wood.
Freed of Charge of
Killing Four Negroes
COLUMBUS, Ga., July I.—“ Not
guilty,” was the verdict returned in
the case of Claud Goins, Charlie
Hubbard and Bernard Vardaman,
white men charged with the murder
of four negroes in the woods north
of Columbus last week, at the pre
liminary hearing which came to an
end late Wednesday after an all-day
trial before Justice W. H. Hancock,
at the county courthouse. And the
quadruple Muscogee county murder is
still a mystery.
The three white men were released
and no one is now held in connection
with the crime. Officers are contin
uing their investigations with little
additional clues upon which to work,
according to the high sheriff who has
been quite diligent in efforts to run
down the guilty party or parties in
the case,

DODSON SOUNDS
CILOMEES DOOM
The “Liver Tone” Man
Warns Folks Against the
Sickening, Salivat
ing Drug
Ugh! Calomel makes you sick. It’s
horrible! Take a dose of the danger
ous drug tonight and tomorrow you
lose a day.
Calomel is mercury! When it
comes into contact with sour bile,
it crashes into it, breaking it up.
Then is when you feel that awful
nausea and cramping. If you are
sluggish, if liver is torpid and bow
els constipated or you have headache,
dizziness, coated tongue, if breath is
bad or stomach sour, just try a
spoonful of harmless Dodson’s Liver
Tone tonight.
Here’s my guarantee—Gp to any
drug store and get a bottle of Dod
son’s Liver Tone for a few cents.
Take a spoonful and if it doesn't
straighten you right up and make
you feel fine and vigorous, go back
to the store and get your money.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is destroying
the sale of calomel because it can
not salivate or make you sick.
