LOWDEN LOOMS
UP AT CHICAGO
B o S ses Undecided
Whether he Can Win
People or Not
Continued from 7age j.

Continued from ~age j.
vention running into next week. Ex-
cepting Lowden, there does not seem
to be candidate who has much of a
chance of being nominated on the
early balloting.
The above is sent down not from
any desire to pose as a prophet but
as the most logical analysis | have
been able to work out of the situa-
tion as the convention opens. On the
assumption that the professional poll
ticians decide not to do what they
would like to do for Lowden because
of the fear that they might not be
able to elect him, W shall see the
most interesting national convention
of recent years with the result likely
to be uncertain up to the very min
ute that the lucky candidate has gar
nered the 493 votes that are neces-
sary to nominate.
The possibilities in such situation
open up field for speculation so
vast that to analyze it in detail
would require columns of newspaper
space. There is one thing, however,
which must be said and not only be-
cause it is true but because it is tre-
mendously interesting. This is that
there is not much Hoover talk on the
streets or the hotel lobbies, but there
is a lot of it among the delegates
when they are talking among them
selves and when they are eXchang-
ing condolences with newspaper cor
respondents. The hundreds of men
and women who have come here from
every state to work for Hoover have
developed an organization which IS
functioning smoothly and efficiently
the Hoover arguments are being pre-
sented to every delegate at times and
places arranged with a view to get
ting his best attention and considera-
ton. The committee which is direct
ing the Hoover convention campaign
is proceeding on the theory that a
majority of the delegates are patriot
ic Americans who will vote for the
ablest candidate after they have dis
charged their political obligations.
In the language of business,
Hoover is being "sold" to the dele
gates on his merits.
Incidentally Hoover's great popu-
larity with the voters of all parties
and classes is emphasized. There is
no doubt that many delegates are i'm
pressed. If the convention reaches a
stage that majority of delegates are
unable to agree on one of the numer-
Gus political candidates it is not out
side of the possibilities that is it will
do the thing that some of the wisest
party men here would like to see
done-that is nominate Hoover.

Sells Cow He Found
In Corn Field for $40

Cooper Clark, known also as "Gob-
bier" is held in jail to answer a
charge of larceny, being accused of
stealing a COW belonging to Nose
Robinson, another negro. Robinson
lives on the Buck Doster place, east
of Americus, near the home of Clark,
who is tenant on the Sam Bradley
place. This morning Clark offered
to sell G. M. Bragg a COW for $40,
and after some discussion finally de-
cided he would sell the animal for
$40. This price was so low that Mr..
Bragg after agreeing to take the
COW, notified the police. asking Clark
to wait for his money until the bank
opened. Officer Lee made the arrest
and on being questioned Clark told
Chief Bragg he had stolen the cow.
The animal was in his corn patch,
Clark said, and he decided to bring
the COW to town and sell her to get
rid of her. The case will be brought
to the attention of the grand jury
today.

John Holt Has Narrow
Escape From Drowning

John Zach Holt came very near
drowning in Kidd's mill pond Friday,
being rescued by Harvey Mathis and
John Wheatley. Young Holt was
swimming in the pond with the as
sistance of an inflated automobile
inner tube, and deciding to try swim
ming alone discarded this only a short
distance from shore. He was unable
to swim a stroke and sank to the bot
tom, where he was found and brought
to the surface by Mr.. Mathis. Mr..
Wheatley carried him quickly to the
bank of the pond and after a short
while he was resuscitated, apparently
little the worse for his experience.
