William Schley Howard was nomi
nated formally for Congress Satur
day at the Fifth District Democratic
Convention in the Senate Chamber
at the Capitol.
Tributes to Congressman Howard
and his record in the national House
of Representatives were paid by sev
eral speakers. In accepting the nom
ination Congressman Howard urged
Democrats to rally to the cause of
Woodrow Wilson.
If every Democrat wifl inform
himself of the accomplishments of
the ‘Wilson Administration and put
his shoulder to the wheel and do his
part as a Democrat you will gee rolled
up for Woodrow Wilson in November
the greatest majority ever given to
the Democratic party in its history,”
he said.
“The present prosperity of this
country is due to two pleces of leg-
Islation recommended by the Presi
dent and enacted into law by Con-
Eress.,
Protects Small Business.
“One 18 the Clayton anti-trust act,
which throws the protecting arm and
power of the United States Govern
ment around the small business con
cern and protects it from unlawful
combinations which would seek to de
stroy It, and gives equal opportunity
to those of small means who desire
to associate themselves together in
industrial undertakings
“The other, which will bring forth
the greatest campaign fund and more
Republican orators than were ever
expended in a national election with
a hope of defeating the Wilson Ad
ministration that this legislation may
be repealed, is the Federal Reserve
act, which has been declared by
European financial experts as well as
patriotic American bankers to be the
Rreatest piece of financial legisla
tion ever enacted in the history of the
world.”
Dr. J. H. Goss, of DeKalb, was
elected chairman of the convention
and Lamar Hill, of Fulton, was chosen
secretary. J. C. Woodward, of Col

Manager George H. Hickman's an

top next week’s Keith vaudeville blll at

sale among admirers of this celebrated
funmaker. Mr. Wills hill headline a pro
gram of unusual merit.
One of the most talked—of acts of the
year is on this week’s bill in A Pler

songs, George Ade's comedy sketch,
‘'Speaking to Father,” gplendidly played
by Milton Poilock and company; Willie
Bolar, late star of the London Hippo
drome; Frank Morrell, Bertie Herron
and otherq are on the program.
‘““The 4atural Law” at the Grand.
Tonight’s performance concludes the
engagement of ‘“The Natural Law,’ 'and
a 4 dramatic treat will be missed by all
who fail o attend. The interest of the
audience is heild from the first curtain
through the entire three acts and a
straln of comedy relieves the intense
dramatic situations at the proper time.
It doesn’t matter ho woften you see
Gus Hill's production of George Mec-
Manus’ “Bringing Up Father,” because
it will be new every time yo usee it.
It is the Hill policy to offer an entirely
new show every year. This does not
mean that the old stuff {s revamped, but
an entirely new produciion from stern to
Btem every time the play isß announced
at the Grand. “Bringing Up Father in
Politics” offers a new story, scenes,
music and some new faces of course. Of
course, the characters that have made
the cartoons famous in more than five
hundred newsppers throughout the Uint
ed States and Canada, are re
tained. The new production will be
offered for the first time at the Grand,
commencing Monday night. Tt is abso
lutely safe to bring the children to see
any Gus Hill produetion.
