TIME FOR SOUTH TO
NAME PRESIDENT,
DECLARES HOWELL
Noted Georgia Editor Says
Time Has Come for Dixie
to Quit Hanging Back"
By THEODORE r1LLER.

Calling upon the South to rid itself
Of the obsession that Southern man
cannot be elected President, Clark
Howell, of Georgia. Oldest committee
man In point Of service on the Demo-
cratic national committee, reached
Washington today and set politicians
thinking about the "favorite sons'' be-
low Mason and Dixon's line.
The South has been eating I'm the
kitchen for fifty years." said Mr..
Howell Now that we have been in
vited to come UP in the parlor we all
hold back, while the rest of the coun-
try Is willing"
MT. Howell has committed himself to
none OF the candidates now in the race
for the Democratic nomination, but his
general review of the situation will
bring cheer to the supporters Of Oscar
Underwood, Champ Clark, and other
candidates who do not come from up
North"
Calls It Strange.

Howell. THE South has been doing
penance for fifty years and we have
held tenaciously to the prcjjudiced idea
that II would he political blunder to
nominate a man from our section. The

try. nave long since forgotten this old
obsession. but 1t still fingers in the

There is no denying the fact that
there is considerable Underwood tall

with those of Wilson, Harmon, and
Clark today, one delegate expressing
the conviction that Underwood is gain

Battle to Obtain
Next Convention
RACES Furiously

The fight for the Democratic national
convention is raging furio,lsly ,day,
with Baltimore and st. Louis far in the
lead. .
Delegations have reached Washington
from these two cities. and headquarters
have been established At the Shoreh HAIR.
Denver has opened headquarters at the
Occidental, and Chicago will he here N
force before night.
The fact is, there are blu: three cities
in the fight up to this time. They are
Baltimore. st. Louis. and Denver.
Neither Chicago nor New York seem 20
have a look-in. Each Of them aIpnrent-
ly has eliminated itself.
New York was ruled out, according to
the arriving committeeman today, b.
the fact that Tammany would try to
dc inmate the convention should It go
to the metropolis. Also the fast that
there was no general demand In New
York for this convention has had much
to do with putting New York out If the
running.
Might Cause Confusion.
AS for Chicago. the committee does not
lock with favor upon that city because
the Republicans already have chosen
IL. To hold both national conventions
in the same city would cause great con-
fusion, it is pointed out, inasmuch as
there would be two Chicago plat
FORMS" and 1t would be difficult to
keep the people straight concerning
them. Also the Democrats are not In
favor Of trailing behind the Republic
ans even in the matter CT selecting a
CONVEX ton city.
Denver's chances depend upon dead
lock In the committee. Should Balti-
more and st. Louis, along with the other
two cities, manage to tie up the com.
mittee, then Denver hopes to step in
and carry off the prize. Denver's argu.
ment is based upon the fact that the
Colorado capital has a great convention
hall and ample hotel accommodations
coupled with the fact that Colorado
has no candidate.
st. Louis has lost ground by reason
Of the admitted fact that Missouri has
two candidates for the Presidency. The
friends of the other candidates fear thai
to send the convention to st. Louis will
be Interpreted as preliminary victory
for either Folk or Champ Clark, and
this Is something they are not willing
to be party to.
Baltimore's Position.
This would seem to leave Baltimore ir
the most advantageous position from g
strategic standpoint. Maryland has M
choice for the Presidency. and the Bal
timoreans promise not only hall thai
will seat 10000 people. but hotel &C
commodations for 10000 people. They
are loaded with evidence bearing ou
| their claim.

MAD DOG SCARE
AT J0HNSTOWN

Johnstown, July Running mad
over the country yesterday the bull
dog belonging to Sam Newkirk,
three miles northeast of here, bit,
it is thought, 20 other dogs. New
kirk shot the animal last night after
he noticed it frothing at the mouth.
The dog was in town yesterday and
first showed signs tending toward
rabies when it bit the dog of AL
len Swink. The animal got loose
and ran home. biting dogs on the
way. AS many as possible of the
bitten animals are being watched
for rabies. A notice has been sent
out to muZzle all dogs in this vi
cinity and keep them tied up. 1t is
thought that the Newkirk dog be-
came infected by the dog that went
mad two weeks ago.

PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATES
But LITTLE TIME-ASSEMBL
IN LESS THAN \ MONTH

In the excitement over the ma
tional conventions candidates for
the county offices have been lying
low with their ambitions, but it is
expected now that the big shows are
over and the candidates for the
presidency named, there will be a
rush.
Chairman Reynolds, at the demo
cratic headquarters. is getting
ready for the rush. Since the nomi-
nation of Governor Wilson it seems
assured that the democrats will win
by tremendous majority in Weld
county. The republican organiza-
ton here expects TO challenge all
republicans who will not vow ale
glance to President TAFT, which
means a considerable thinning out
If the ranks, 1t is estimated that
more than 80 per cent OF the part!
in Weld county are for Roosevelt
and if they express u preference tol
him they Will be barred from the
republican party counsels here.
On the other hand the democrats
are stronger. more united and more
confident in Weld county than ever
before From many expressions
heard throughout the county it is
evident that there are many former
republicans who can see but little
difference in the harvester trust
and the other trusts, so Will cast
their votes for Wilson to insure the
common people having their rights
protected.
Chairman Reynolds expects that
much of the best timber in the
democratic party will he found in
The ranks of the candidates whose
names will come before the voters
for choice.
But little time remains for candi-
dates to announce themselves, as
the county assembly will be held in
less than months time. 1t be-
