McAdoc Won't Be A Candidate

Washington, Jan. 5-Wm. G.
McAdoo will not enter the demo-
cratic primary contest for the
Presidential nomination. He
not even in receptive mood, and
will shun the party mantle If he
sees it falling. his way.
Although the position of the
former Secretary of the Treasury
and Director General of Railroads
has been the cause of speculation
in democratic ranks, it was learn
ed today that he had determined
definitely to remain out of poll
tics.
Mr.. McAdoo is the only demo-
cratic possibility" who will not
attend, or be represented at the
Jackson Day dinner January 8,
at which the barrier of the demo
cratic candidacy race will be
sprung. This fact has been one
of the chief sources of conversa-
ton and speculation in political
circles.

Phone QUESTION
TO Be REOpENE:D

The proposition of the Cumber-
land Telephone and Telegraph
Company for g fair trial Of the
government phone rates, in order
to prove the cost of operation in
Richmond, will probably be &C
cepted by the City Council, ac-
cording to reports Monday. A
special meeting of the Council
will be held I tuesday night at !
O'Clock at which the telephone
matter will be reopened by the
counci1men. Several OF the coun-
cilmen are said to have looked
carefully into the matter and it is
that they have been
convinced that perhaps there is
some merit in the company con-
tention that it is not making a
reasonable return on its invest
ment here.
Anyway, it is understood that
they are now III favor of giving it
a fair and full opportunity to
prove its contention, and may
grant its request for an extension
OF the war time rates until Aug
ust next! Councilman c. B. Ter
rill has so contendcd throughout
the entire controversy that tie
company was not making an ade-
quate percentage on its plant here
and others of the City Fathers
are said to have come around to
his views. Anyway, the matter
will be thrashed out again at the
special meeting Tuesday night.

GOVERNOR TO PARDON
DELAY IN Licenses

Chief of Police Claude Devore
is advising motorists to have
their 1920 licenses by Jan. 10th.
But announcement has been
made that Governor Morrow will
grant pardons for ali persons
held for not having 1929 automo-
bile license tags when it is
shown that the person tried to
get the tags and could not. Gov
ernor Morrow had been previous
ly advised that the Automobile
Department Of the State Tax
Commission could not issue ali
the licenses by the first of the
year because Of the large number
of applications. A recent re-
port from Frankfort shows that
only $4,000 of the 90,OO0 register
ed automobiles have received
their 1920 license tags.
A change in the automobile
law providing for the issuance Of
license by county clerks instead
OF by automobile department is
contemplated, and if this change
becomes effective it will be a
great saving to the state as the
large office force now employed
by the department can be reduced
to two or three persons.
The department will continue
TO issue the tags, which will be
done after the county clerks GER
tify the license to the State De
partment.
The change in the law would
simplify matters and would do
away with the rush which comes
Just before the first OF the year
when licenses have to be renew
ed.
