Results of His RefUsal to Line Up
With Democrats Waited With
Interest—Friends See Chance
iy : . :
Welopmenta in the agitation to
induce the subcommittee of the State
Democratic Executive Committee to
place the name of Herbert Hoover on
the ballot in the presidential primary
of April 20 were awaited eagerly by
Democratic leaders Thursday, follow
ing receipt by Secretary Hiram L.
Gardner of Eatonton of a telegram
from Mr. Hoover, that he “had not
been identified with the Democratic
fiy before the war.” and that “he
not intend” to file his name in
the Georgia contest. :
This message from Mr. Hoover was
construed by Democrats generally to
mean he has put the fight squarely
up to his friends in this State, and
declined to commit himself to the
Joemoeratic party.
While no definite move had been
made Thursday, it was believed the
principal backers of the former food
administrator, including the Dem
ocrats who filed the original petition
with the subcommittee for pjcing
his name on the ballot, would®at once
renew their insistence that this name
go before the voters of Georgia in
the primary. It was pointed out that
Mr. Hoover did not place any ban,
whatever, on the activities of his
friends in Georgia, or elsewhere. He
4;§mply made it plain that, because of
the fact that he had not been a party
man, he personally would not ask the
Democratic committee to give him a
place on the Georgia ballot.
HOOVER’'S MESSAGE,
Mr. Hoover, in stating his position
as a non-party man, explained that
his connection with the government
in the war was “solely a war serv
"’ This telegram follows:
New York, Feb, 26, 1920,
Hon. Hiram L. Gardner,
™" Secretary State Democratic Execu
tive Committee.
Eatonton, Ga,
I feel confident that it is not nec
essary to dwell at length upon my
~ gratitude to you for the honor im
plied in your letter of February 22.
1 especially appreciate it, since I
was not identified with the Dem
ocratic party before the war, and my
¢ official connection with the govern
., ment has been solely a war service,
and consequently not of a partisan
character.
1 have not been able to persuade
myself at all that any real public
gervice will be performed by injecting
myself into the race for the nomina
tion to the greatest honor at the dis
posal of the American people,
Therefore, aside from any other
reason, 1 do not intend to file my
name.
HERBERT HOOVER.
The telegram from Mr. Hoover
came in response to the letter of in-|
quiry written to him by Secretary
Gardner by direction of the subcom
mittee. It was in answer to the
question as to whether he wished to
qualify as a “Democrat” and have his
name placed con the Georgia ballot.
FLYNT SEES NO HOPE.
This action by the sub-committee
followed published statements of Mr.
}Hoover, ‘n which he declined to align
himself with either party. It was
based on a rule of the sub-commit
tee that provides “the name of any
Democrat may be placed on the pres
idential ballot on petition w 100 or
more citizens, or by his own appli
cation.” Memhers of the sub-com
mittee held that, unless Mr. Hoover
should qualify by declaring himself
a Democrat, his name could not g 0
on the ballot under the terms of this
5 rule, ;

Roswell Railroad, Lawrenceville
Branch and H. and F. S. Op
erating at Loss, Says Miller.
At least three short line railroads
in Georgia, including the Roswell
Railroad from Roswell to Chamblee,
and lawrenceville Branch railroad
from Lawrenceville to Suwanee and
the Hawkinsville and Florida South
ern, from Hawkingville to Camilla,
will be forced to suspend operation
after their return to private owner
ship, in the opinion of Henry W.
Miller, vice president of the Southern
Railroad, presented to the Railroad
Commission.
Mr. Miller told the commission the
Irst two roads named cannot possi
bly, in hi 4 opinion, take up the bur
den of expenses, inasmuch as they
have been operated at great loss even
under federal control.
The rallroade will be given back
to their private owners March 1 bhut
the gorernment has agreed to guar
antee all expenses until September
1, after which date, in the opinion of
Mr. Miller, the roads will have to
suspend.
OPERATED AT LOSS.
The Roswell Raildoad has been op
erated by the Southern Railrcad since
the expiration of its charter ten years
ago., Mr. Miller estimated there has
been at least $50,000 loss in its oper
ation during the last nine months.
The Southern Railroad, he says,
will relinquish its authority over the
Roswell Railroad after March 1. The
road is ten miles long.
Mr. Miller stated also he has sev
ered his connéction with the Law
renceville Branch Railroad, which ls‘}
a separate corporation, but operated
}wlth equipment and on rails owned
by the Southern. This road, he said,
}ha.s been losing from $5,000 to 36.0001
'a month, |
~ There is some hope, however, to
save it if the city of Lawrenceville
wishes to operate it, In that case
the Southern will allow the road td
continue using the rails and equip
‘ment, ‘
H. & F. S. LOSING HEAVILY,
The Hawkinsville and F‘lorlda‘
Southern Railroad, Mr. Miller said, is
doing little or no business, and will
not be able to begin to make its in
come meet expenses. This road has
suffered much through federal con
trol as it is crossed by a number of
trunk lines, which took away much
of its business, It is 95 miles long,
and touches a number of important
towns in South Georgla.
With the return of the railroads
the Railroad Commission will re
sume its former powers over the con
struction of depots and other im
provements. During the two years
of government operation and one
year previous, no work of that char
acter has been done. The commis
sion expects a deluge of such werk
when the private owners get the
rails back, and it is announced that
the commission will assume the same
attitude towards these projects as it
formerly held, passing on potltiomx}
for work, and ordering it when neces
sary.

Nomination of Crane as En
voy to China Is Taken Up.
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—The
quarrel between President Wilson
!an antagonistic Congress is expected
to break out in a new place as soon
as the name of Bainbridge Colby, the
mewly appointed secretary of state,
comes up before the Senate for
confirmation.
It was predicted at the capitol to
’day the Senate not only may take
i““’ own time to confirm the appointee
'but the President’s political engmies
’wuuld seize the opportunity to attack
;him from a new angle.
~ The name of Charles R. Crane, re
cently announced -at minister to
China, is likewise before the Senate,
and in congressicnal circles it is
said his confirmation will not go
‘through any more smoothly than
that of the new secretary.
Senator Philander Knox, Republi
ecan of Pennsylvania, was secretary
of state under Taft at the time of
Crane's first appointment as United |
States representative in the Orient{
and was instrumental in having the‘
new minister recalled before he had
reached hig post.
Now, in the Senate he will be
called upon, along with other Re-l
publicans, to pass upon Crane, ap
pointed again, this time by a Démo
cratic President.
Comment among Democrats is fav
orable and that both Colby and
Crane will ultimately be conflrmed,l
is nowhere seriously disputed, Never
theless, considerable bitterness is ex
pressed in the camp of the Presi
dent's political enemlies and it be
lieved here that before confirmation
is finally voted there will be some

England does not consider the
present policy of the United States
Shipping Board and of her own do=
minions “fair competition.” .
England also fears America may
ultimately capture the world’s coal
trade.
These facts were brought out in an
address by W. J. Noble before the
Chamber of Shipping of the United

said:
“The rise of the American mercans

In voicing his fear that America
might capture the world's coal trade,
Mr. Noble said America was now
putting coal aboard steamers at 20
