The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1920-07-07

Auditorium, San Francisco, July
6.-James NJ. Cox, governor Of Ohio,
was nominated for President Of the
UNited States In the Democratic ma
tional convention at lao O'Clock
this morning. The nomination came
at the conclusion Of q forty-four
ballot struggle In which he has
steadily beaten down the forces Of
william g. McAdoo, former secre-
tary Of the treasury, and President
Wilson's son-in-1aw.
When the balloting on the forty
fourth vote had gotten to q point
where Coz had 7o2 votes and was
rapidly approaching the necessary
two-thirds, or 729, Sam q. Amidon,
Of Kansas manager OF the GcAdoo
forces and vice chairman Of the
Democratic national committee,
took the platform and moved that
the nomination be made unanimous.
immediately there was o roar from
the tired and worn delegates which
lasted for full four minutes be-
fore Chairman Robinson could Put
the question on Amidon's motion to
suspend the rules and no1ainats Cox
by acc1amatton.
At 1;43 O'Clock this morning the
motion was formally voted over
with a rolling chorus Of ayes and q
crashing of the brass bands. State
standards which had surged back
and forth in the desperate battles
Of the deadlock raced to the front Of
the hall and to q place before the
platform.

x. ,. holmes Dies.

*. b." the eldest child of Mr.. and
Mrs. H. N. Holmes, wo live in the north
western suburbs of Brookhaven, died at
day night after several days confine-
ment as the result of a delayed opera
tion for appendicitis.
This death, coming to. the bright and
popular boy at the age of thirteen years
has caused a great deal of sorrow in
the home, in the Baptist Sunday School
the Public School, and among business
associates Of the child.
After serving on his first job in the
Leader Office, K. B., was employed at
the G. B. Perkins Hardware Store and
made friends wherever he became
known.
He had reached the Sixth Grade in
the school and was a member Of the
Junior Department of the Sunday School
with Mr.. Troy Thompson, as teacher.
He was baptized into the membership
OF the Baptist church a few weeks ago
and showed zeal and pleasure in his
duties to the church and Sunday school
The funeral took place from the
church Monday morning, July 5th, 1920,
at ten o'clock, Rev. Geo. Darling off,
ciating in the absence of Pastor Taylor.
Beautiful flowers from the Sunday
School Departments and from loving
and sympathizing friends adorned the
casket and covered. the grave where the
lad now sleeps after his brief life on

all the McAdoo people needed to start
up a parade. They took their tip from
the music balcony and with standards
started a procession of the McAdoo
states.
OF course it was noised about among
the jokesmiths that somebody's boom
ly more truth than fiction in that jest.
Attorney General Palmer at 9:45 o.
clock tonight at the close of the thirty
eighth ballot, released his delegates and
left the Democratic national convention
free to move out of its deadlock and
nominate a presidential candidate.
At the end of the second ballot after
the recess when the Palmer vote had
touched 211 and it was apparent that
it could be driven no higher, former
Representative c. c. Carlin of Virginia
Mr.. Palmer's manager, took the plat
form and announced the withdrawal of
the Attorney General from the race.
Chairman Robinson, in presenting him,
told the convention significantly that
he was presenting a man who had an
announcement to make which he was
confident the convention would want to
hear.
Delegations voting solidly under the
unit rule but at heart divided between
McAdoo. and other candidates, develop
ed ill feeling so much that the caucus
es which took place on the floor during
the recess gave evidences of the feel
ing. There was shouting, waving of
arms and some shaking of fists and
great deal of scurrying about.
The 44th ballot showed 702h for
Cox; 266h for McAdoo; / for Palmer.

HOSPITAL LOOMS ON
LINCOLN'S HORIZON
Further Plans for Financing Necessary
Institution-Meeting Sunday AT.
ternoon-May Ask Bond Issue

Interested citizens met with men,
berS-of the Kings Daughters organiza-
tion at the Presbyterian Church Sunday
afternoon to consider plans for financ-
ing a new hospital for Brookhaven and
Lincoln.
Mrs. e. M. Bee, president of the
Kings Daughters presided.
Messrs. Hiram and j. w. Cassidy
having informed themselves as to the
law upon the issuing of city bonds,
explained that the city could issue bonds
not to exceed thirty thousand dollars
for the hospital, provided twenty per
cent of the voters do not sign a pc
tition against it, They advocated the
plan of asking the city for forty
thousand dollars worth, however, in Or
der that the matter might be voted up
on.
1t was agreed, after discussion, to
begin campaign to raise funds for the
hospital by subscription, the city to be
asked for funds after the campaign.
If the bonds are issued, as contem-
plated, the hospital building and lot
will be the property of the city and
the equipment and management will be
the Kings Daughters.
The necessity for providing a new
hospital is. urgent, for the present hos
pital may be closed before a new one
can be built and equipped.
With its limited capacity, the. pres
ent hospital does not comply with the
state law in regard to Training Schools
for Nurses and this fact, coupled with
the need for new equipment and the
probable sale of the building makes it
imperative for Brookhaven and Lincoln
County to provide a new one, unless
our sick are to be carried to Natchez,
McComb, Jackson, Hattiesburg, or New
Orleans, at greater expense. inconven-
fence and risk than if treated in their
own town and county.
1t looks as though Lincoln County
must have a Hospital. 1t seems an
absolute necessity. We owe it to our
people-to our helpless children-our
families and ourselves. It's the next
thing to having q church. You can't
win the soul when the body is racked
with pain-when it is diseased, unde-
veloped, distorted. perverted. Religion
regardless Of creed, and the hospital 60
hand in hand the world over.
The campaign has begun.

70 The Electorate of The Seventh Con-
nressional District of Mississippi.

With no intention to assume the role
3rof one overly modest nor wishing 10
conceal aught of truth, I beg here. for
mally, to announce my candidacy for
election to Congress from this district
subject to the action of the Democratic
Party at the primary election in August,
FRANKLY have had this in contempla-
tion for some time and have only de-
layed decision to determine to my own
satisfaction, if change in service was
desired by the people, and if there was
truth in the oft-repeated assertion from
various quarters, that was desired in
that capacity.
I have after due consideration de-
cided favorably and now submit my
cause, I am not so arrogant as to as
sumo that am the fittest one for the
place by. many and large exceptions,
to be found in this District, nor do
assume that the perplexing problems,
(which confront the World with insist
ency seeking solution, will find in my
wisdom the panacea sought and solu-
tion accomplished-for (as you) real
ize that we confront to-day world
bleeding and torn, disrupted and rent,
as to the relations of Peoples and Ma
tions in their intercourse and affairs
domestic. OF necessity, society has
found boundaries and barriers, largely,
! If not quite Eliminated and gone and
that which in the past was precedent
flong-established is now thing existing
only in memory.
Government has become to large ex-
tent and with many, only a strife of
tongues: consequent thereon, we must
reconstruct, re-establish-yes-in much
re-create.
To this task forbearance must be
brought and the principles of the Golden
Rule find in the actions of men-in
private life and public station-preach-
ment and practice. To no Servant of
the People will this quality more aptly
apply than to him who serves in the
Congress of this Republic. Yet in this
era of his reconstructive activities, the
Constitution, the organic Instrument,
the Sheet Anchor itself should be the
attendant of his wanderings and )
handbook for guidance in preparation
and in action.

in the limitations of the Constitution
but as Congressman, all doubts must
be resolved against, not in favor of your
acts. If doubt is had concerning the
Constitutionality of measure, it must
be so amended as to remove that doubt,
and If it can not be so amended, sane
tion cannot be had.
We are sworn to preserve the Consti-

This service includes that place, to
which again I seek your suffrage. Riper
years, without accompanying infirmities
and judgement, which the maturing sea-
son of needed thought and observation
afford, embolden me to believe I can
now better serve than one, less exper-

II see the announcement of a candi-
date who says he has MADE MANY
mistakes. Is it possible that the people
of his district are being asked to vote
for a real man? A poor mortal who
has made mistakes. We have been ask
ed to vote for angels so long and so
often until it is really refreshing to
know that the people Of one district
are to have the privilege of voting for
somebody who has MADE MISTAKES.
He admits that the people know it. For
long time have wanted an opportun-
ity to vote for some poor sinner who,
like myself, has made mistakes, and now
while others are to have the privilege
am still to be deprived of it. It is
not my fault that he will not get my
vote. H. v. Wall is a man after my
liking. His sort are scarce. eW have
