AS Hickey Sees The
Democratic Race

InoY. 1t certainly doesn't look as i'm
pottant now as the candidacy of
ei4er McAdoo or Gov. Cox of Ohio.
McAdoo's Position.
McAdoo is not a candidate in the
sense that he has announced himself,
or is trying to elect delegates pledged
to him.
But if man who has filled as
important a role in the Democratic
party and in the Wilson administra-
ton, as has McAdoo, who would like
to be the nominee because he be-
lieves he could be elected, and whose
friends in every section of the coun-
try are working like Trc jams to that
end, may be said to be candidate,
then McAdoo is a candidate.
Not forgetting that water which
has yet to go over the dam, if the
Democratic convention were to be
held tomorrow, it looks to me as
though it would be the field against
McAdoo, with Gov Cox of Ohio,
leading the field.
Need Ohio's Vote.
CoX's strength as candidate for
the nomination lies in the fact that
the Democrats can hardly hope to
carry the country unless they win
in Ohio. That Cox has been elected
governor of Ohio three times, is yath-
er a compelling argument in his
favor from the standpoint of practi-
cal politics.
In any consideration of Democrat
ic presidential politics, however, the
tule that requires the nominee to
get the votes of two-thirds, instead
of bare majority of delegates, al
ways adds an element of great I'M
certainty.
1t has happened in the past, and
may very well happen this year, that
the aspirant who could get the nomi-
nation by majority vote hasn't
enough strength to get the necessary
two-thirds,
That happened to Champ Clark at
the Baltimore convention eight years
ago and made possible Wilson's nom
ination,
But for that two-thirds rule, Champ

SENIORS TRY FOR
SPELLING HONORS
High, Low and Average
Scores of Pupils
Given Out

Scores attained by students of
Americas high school who partici-
pated in the state spelling contest
held at that institution simultaneous
ly with other accredited high schools
of Georgia, were announced today by
Principal c. NJ. Hale. Assisting Mr..
Hale, who gave the words orally to
the students, were Miss Ernestine
Dempsey and Miss Laverne Garrett
who corrected the papers, and Miss
Myrtle Baldwin, who attended the
contest as an outside teacher in oc-
cordance with the rules.
One hundred words used in the test
were supplied by Prof j. S. Stewart
of the faculty of the University of
Georgia. Only senior students, four
of whom were absent, were permit
ed TO participate in the test Ten
boys participating made an average
grade of 81, while twenty-five girls
made an average of Ola; the aver
age grade for boys and girls being
61.287. Hertwell Barton, who spell
ed "a words correctly, attained the
highest grade of any student. The
lowest grade was % for the girls
and p for the boys. Lula Howard
and Alice Stevens tied for high
place among the girls, each spelling
81 words correctly. Boys who par
ticipated, and the order of their
standing follow: Hertwell Barton,
John Butt, William Potter, Thurman
HogIe, Roy Biyins, j. w. Smith, HUI
bert Baugh, Marvin Bolton, S. P.
Bond, George Cobb. The girls par
ticipating and the order of their
standing were: Lula Howard, Alice
Stevens, Mary Sue Redmond, Ruth
Horne, Isabel Wheatley, Minnie
Reese, Halle Mcdonald, Frances

George Gardner are senior students
who lid not participate in the test.

Clark, and not Wilson, would have
been the Democratic nominee, and
the history of the world during the
past eight years you'd lave been
another story.
Bryan's Minority.
Bryan controlled the minority in
the Baltimore convention and blocked
Clark's nomination.
Whether or not this same Bryan,
who is Just as full of fight now as he
was then, viii hold the whip hand at
San Francisco and make as effective
use Of his power, it is too early even
to warrant a guess.
If he does, this may be set down as
certain:
He win not permit any man to
be nominated whose record as to pro-
hibltion is not as dry as Sahara.
Bryan is probably much more fav-
orable to McAdoo than to Cox, for
this reason.

BY H. N. HICKEY,
|. E. A. Staff Correspondent

| WASHINGTON, April 20.-Yes,
there still is a Democratic party, and
there are a number of statesmen and
near-statesmen who are simply crazy
to be its candidate for president this
year.
This statement seems necessary in
view of the corner" on publicity
and public interest which the Repub-
lican candidates seem to have Sc
cured.
One reason for this Corner" is
that the Republican pre-convention
campaign has never been equaled for
bitterness. 1t is a real fight of the
Observation-Disclosures variety;
and a fight, whether political, mill
tary or pugilistic, always makes a
popular appeal.
Another reason is that the Repub-
lican managers, under the leadership
of that very canny Indiana politi-
clan, Will Hayes, began many months
ago to sell the idea to the public that
this is Republican year and that
whoever is nominated at the Chicago
convention is as good as elected.
They've Sold 1t, Too.
There is no getting away from
the fact that they have been pretty
successful in their selling campaign,
although Hayes and his associates
probably don't believe in the idea
themselves as strongly as they have
succeeded in making the public be-
lieve in it.
But to get back to the Democrats.
The three leading candidates for the
nomination at this writing are Nc
Adoo, Cox and Palmer, in the order
named.
There are several others who are
more than willing to succeed Presi-
dent Wilson as leader of the party
and occupant of the White House,
but up to now none of them has de-
veloped any particular strength out
side of his own state. In this class
are Senator Owen Of Oklahoma, Sen
ator Hitchcock of Nebraska and Gov
ernor Edwards of New Jersey.
And, of course, there is also our
friend, VIM. Jennings Bryan. 1t is
always safe to mention him as can
didate.
Aggressive Mr.. Palmer.
Palmer, attorney general, who has
made such a successful fight to re-
duce the cost of living please don't
laugh is the most aggressive of the
candidates, but if he is making much
progress toward the goal, it isn't visi-
BILE to the naked eye, He has & big
and seemingly quite expensive or
ganization, part of which is a pub
licity bureau, which is getting more
or less favorable mention for him in
the rural newspapers.
Without saying so in so many
words, the Palmer managers are try
ing to create the impression that the
attorney generals nomination would
be pleasing to the president.
Naturally the president hasn't de-
MED this, but until he admits it, it
would probably be just as well to
take it with a grain of salt.
A lot of water will go over the
dam between now and the Democrat
ic convention, and the Palmer candi-
dacy may look a lot more important
the latter part of June than it does
