Wood Gaining
In All States,
Gould Asserts
Generals Eastern Manager
Says 1t Soon Will Become
Apparent He Is Popular
FavOrite for Nomination
Glad of the Hoover Boom
Hearst Is Reported Making
Overtures to Johnson to
Head Third Party Ticket

Representative Norman J. Gould, OF
Seneca Falls, the newly appointed
Eastern manager of the Leonard Wood
boom for President. predicted yester-
day at his headquarters in the Imperial
Hotel that General Woods lead would
be steadily increased. He declared
that within few weeks it would be-
come apparent that he is the great
popular favorite of the country and his
nomination will be assured.
Mr.. Gould also said that he had been
Informed by a prominent New York
City man that Senator Hiram w. John
son, Of California, is receiving over
lures from William R. Hearst looking
to his becoming the candidate for
President on third party ticket on a
platform declaring unrelentng opposi-
tion to the proposed league of nations
"As to the Hoover boom" said the
new Wood lieutenant, "the Wood men
will be glad to have him run as a
Democratic candidate. The record
seems to show that Mr.. Hoover has
been out Of the country pretty much
all of the time for the last fourteen
years and that he never voted the Re-
publican ticket but once, and then for
Mckinley.
Hoover joined with Wilson in ask
ing the country to elect a Democratic
Congress in 1918, favor for which |
personally desire to thank him, as my
plurality after that appeal rose to
24,159. The people of this nation will
beat any candidate handed to them by
the Wilson Administration, no matter
who he is"
Asked about the Johnson third party
candidacy, Mr.. Gould said:
II have to-day been informed by a
New York man who keeps informe d
about large political movements that
there is d combination impending be-
tween William r. Hearst and Senator
Hiram w. Johnson, looking to Mr.
Johnson being the candidate for Pres-
dent on third party ticket. do not
know whether it is fact or not There
seems to be tie that binds Senator
johnson and William R. Hearst
General Wood Is obtaining such q
big lead that there is no longer any
doubt that he will be the nominee for
President at the Chicago convention.
and we are 50 we'll in front that it
makes it stern chase for all the other
aspirants.

clared for General Wood. They arc

particularly Of Chicago, they do not
think his pressure for sedition bills
VIII hurt him. On the other hand,
1nere are prominent Democrats, but
VINO probably will have little to do with
naming the delegates, who think both
these things would make it difficult
Tor Palmer to carry any state in the
middle Western group, especially when
Mayor Thompson's boast that Chicago
IS the sixth German city in the world
is RECALLED.
Ex-senator James Hamilton Lewis
mas told friends that he would not be
surprised to sec the Democratic con-
vention pass over Palmer for the rea-
sons just stated, pass over McAdoo be-
cause of dissatisfaction with him on
account of the railroad administration
aftermath, which includes dissatisfac-
tlon on the part of the brotherhoods
because their differential Of pay was
not maintained as against the other
railroad workers; pass over Hoover
because of political vulnerablity as
to residence, and finally decide on
Champ Clark Or Governor Cox of Ohio.
Clark, he suggested, as possible be-
cause there could gather to him all
that opposed the President. while ad-
mirers of the President could be for
him on the ground that he would carry
out Mr.. Wilson's policies. Governor
Cox, in this line of thought, might be
selected by the convention because Of
the supreme necessity Of the Demo-
Gratis of carrying Ohio.
Some Wilson Talk
Senator Lewis has surprised his
friends also by declaring that it may
be the logical thing at the time of the
convention to renominate President
Wilson, especially if there should be
continuance of the wars in Europe,
or they should grow worse
However, it may be taken for
granted that unless something entirely
unforeseen occurs, these thoughts will
not affect the Illinois delegation to
the Democratic convention 1t will
be for Palmer, unless Roger Sullivan
sees a great light Of some sort in the
meantime, and Mr.. Sullivan is very
seldom dazzled.
1t should be recalled that although
Sullivan had much to do with the
nomination Of Wilson in Baltimore in
1912, throwing the Illinois delegation
to him at the psychological moment,
President Wilson never manifested any
gratitude. When the time came to
distribute the plums it was Senator
Lewis, ex- Mayor Carter Harrison and
others, who had spent most of their
political lives fighting the big fellow
whose recommendation as to Federal
patronage were needed at the White
House. Then William Jennings Bryan,
Wilson's Cabinet premier at the time
actually stumped Illinois against Sui

Truxton Company Returns to
Bottles Because of Mechan-

The sale of milk in paper containers
was discontinued yesterday by the
Truxton Dairy Company. it was an
nounced at the office of the company, at
Avenue B and East Nineteenth Street.
The device. for placing the caps on
the receptacles proved defective. it was
said, necessitating work by hand. which
proved too expensive. An official of
the company said that the demand had
been fairly large for the containers.
but no effort to enlarge the company's
business had been made because Of the
mechanical difficulties.
The milk was sold to grocers at l.
cents a quart container. The COMPANY
will return to the use Of bottles. sell

Other large distributors sell bottled
milk at 18 cents a quart to grocers. ac

ton of lowering the price charged by
his company would be taken up at q

"Determined efforts are being made
by the Lowden men in South Dakota
and in Michigan to overcome Wood S
lead, because South Dakota is the first
Middle West state TO hold primaries
and Michigan is the first large state.
Michigan has thirty delegates. Neither
the Harding nor any other Republican
followings are making serious efforts
for candidates outside their particular
states. General Wood has just re-
turned to Chicago from two-days'
visit to Grand Rapids and ST. Joseph,
Mich.

joined Mr.. Bryan in stumping against
Sullivan
Vice-Presidential Outlook
But when Mr.. Palmer became a fac
tor in the Administration all this was
changed. Mr.. Sullivan's desires were
no longer ruthlessly ignored Since
which time the Democratic organiza
ton in Cook County has rather come
to the conclusion that this man Palmer
is one Of keen perceptions and alto
gether of Presidential caliber.
A discussion Of the Illinois situation
would not be complete without ref
erence to the Vice Presidential boom
the formerly discordant Democratic
clements has apparently been achieved
and the Cook County organization can
use Lewis. The former Senator has
a tremendous personal following of
highly independent voters, especially
in Chicago. He carried Cook County
by big majority in between two
sweeps of the city of Chicago by Mayor
Thompson on the Republican ticket
Therefore, the Democratic organization
is anxious that every bit of Lewis
strength possible shall be contributed
to the local Cook County ticket next
fall. Even if Illinois goes Republican
snd the national candidates 60 down
to defeat, the Lewis strength might
aid considerably in putting over the
Cook County ticket.
Hence it is not at all unlikely that
the Illinois delegation at San Francisco
headed and controlled by Roger Sulli-
van, Lewis's foe of years standing
may do its utmost to get Lewis nomi-
mated for Vice President.

Democrats for Palmer
Roger Sullivan Will Take
Delegates to San Fran
cisco for Attorney General
This is the fourth Of a series Of nrti-
.res BIZ Carter Field on the political out
lsot throughout the country.
By Carter Field

CHICAGO, Jan. 26.--Illinois seems to
he about the least doubtful state in the
I,nion. At the Republican National
Convention, beyond the shadow of a
soubt. she will cast her fifty-four votes
for her favoritc son, Governor Frank
O. Iowden At the San Francisco con-
vention. unless there is some remark
able and unexpected change in the stu
ation her ffty-four delegates will vote
for Attorney General A. Mitchell Pal
mer. And her twenty-seven electoral
votes unless there is a political land
slide between now and November. will
be cast for whoever the Republicans
nominate.
Illinois seems to be intensely proud
Of Governor Lowden. Politicians and
business men of both parties alike sing
his praises. The Democrats, apparently,
can advance no reason why the Repub-
leans should not nominate him, except
that the Republicans would thereby be
passing up an opportunity to capture
some doubtful state by nominating its
tavorite son, whereas "any body can
carry Illinois on the Republican ticket"
This last statement was made to me by
one of the most prominent Democrats
in the state.
Democrats Like Lowden
With 8 wonderfully enthusiastic
organization covering Illinois, the Low
den people are reaching out into the
surrounding states. particularly Michi-
gan, Iowa and South Dakota. They
are keeping hands off in Wisconsin,
due to the La Toilette situation, and
n North Dakota, due to the Nonpar-
'isan League situation. The Lowden
women are organized under Mrs.
Fletcher Dobyns, who has charge of
their activities in the national fight.
Perhaps the best illustration of how
.he Democrats in Illinois feel toward
Governor Lowden is the fact that the
Democratic State Convention in 1918
adopted d plank in its platform prais-
ing Lowden for his record as war
Governor. The significance of this is
enhanced by the fact that the plank
was sponsored by Roger C. Sullivan,
whose domination of the Democratic
party in Illinois is unquestioned. One
Of Mr. Sullivan's btterest opponents in

conversation to-day indorsed that plank

History ard Legendary Story Of
Origin Of Name Frog Mountain

.
foundation for we have never founc
any of the old settlers that knew Of
him as they do of Duck.
1t then appears that the name OF
these mountains is not really name
nor namesake. 1t would then re.
main for it to be nickname and ac'
cording to our best information 9
nickname it is, for these mountains
we're first called the Fog Mountains
and no other name could be more fit
ting. If you have, lived in sight OF
these mountains, or in them, or with
them as we have in our many tramps
across them, you will know that there
is not day in the year when the air
is humid that at sometime between
the rising and setting of the sun mists
do not gather and hang around their
lofty SUBMITS. ..
It is to be regretted that this beau
tiful and appropriate name of Fog
Mountains has been lost to us forever
Just because the early settlers were
careless and like we, too, ready to
pick up and use slang.
We wish we might close here with
a picture we saw one morning as we
climbed the Little Frog from Hunt
er's Switch. The fog was hanging
low on the mountain as we started up
and soon we were in heavy mist and
could see only a few yards ahead.
After walking about mile we sud
denly came out in the clear atmos-
nhere above the clouds. The upper
surface was smooth as an ccean in a
calm, and completely hid the earth
below, except the tops OF Angelllco'
stansberry, Pack and the Three Witt
Mountains which stood out IKE SO
MANY islands in sea, while of to the
south the Big Frog seemed like a
GREAT continent. We have no words
70 describe the beauty Of this picture
ar the feeling that came over US as
we looked out upon it.
(The editor is inclined to differ
with Mr.. Williams asto the name
Of the mountain originally being
Fog" in pla.e of Frog
fn Mooncyss Aiyths 'of the
Cherokees, find. that the Chero-
KEGS had animal myths and that
Mr.. Frog was one of the most1m-
portant personages Of the animal
kingdom. On page 231, l md
the following in regard to the
animal myths
'The animals of the Cherokee
mvths like the traditional hero
gods were larger and of more
perfect type than their present
representatives. They had chiefs,
councils, and town houses, mingled
with human kind upon terms OF
perfect equality AMI spoke the
same language. In some unex-
planned manner they finally lett
this lower world and ascended to
Galun lati, the world above, where
they still exist, .
Each animal had his appointed
station and duty Thus, the Waia
81, frog was the marshall and
leader in the council,
From the above it is reasonable
to conclude that the Cherokees
called the big mountain on the
south of the Ocoee river big Wala
81, and the one on the north on
account of it looking so much like
the mountain on tue south, little
