among negro voters in the Harding
campaign is slated for the post now
held by William S. Elliott, of Geor-

Cottrell is said to have the ap-
prevail of both President Harding
and Attorney General Daugherty.
both of whom are acquainted with
his services to the C. O. p. in Ohio.
He is now said to be en- route home

today is that the Ohio man has

More than five hundred employees
of the registers office, including
nine Georgia girls, recently petition
ed the administration and members
of congress against the appointment
of any negro as register. They held
that it would be subversfve Of the

Wet Leader Goes
Over to Prohibition
Amid Demonstration

CHARLESTON, w. Va, April 81,
A scene without parallel in the his
tory of the West Virginia legislature
was enacted in the house late yes
terday when Delegate J. A. Strother.
of Welch, for many years leader of
the pro-liQuor forces, publicly de-
serted the "wets" and went over to
the prohibition side.
Strother, one of the oldest mem
bers of the house, secured permits
sion to speak when the senate pro-
hibition bill was being considered.
The delegates settled back to list
en- to what they expected would be
an attack against further tighten
ing of the prohibition law.
IT have been fighting prohibition
many years" declared the aged
delegate, "since 1907 1 have carried
on the fight in the senate and the
house of delegates. 1 have been a
devotee of liquor for thirty years.
It never brought me good nor was
the fight successful. Liquor has
kept me down and prevented me
from acquiring the honor that
should have been mine. I have sue
ceeded in throwing off the desire for
drink and it has made me better
man."
When it dawned upon members of
the house that the pro-liquor lead
err had taken his stand with the pro-
hibition forces a roar of applause
broke out. Although the demon
stration broke house rules, I Speak

BOSTON, April 21.-Application of
the Golden Rule to the cotton man
ufacturing industry was urged as a
euro for present industrial problems
by Russell 3. Love- of Fitchburg,
president of the National Associa-
ton of Cotton Manufacturers, at the
opening session of the annual con-
vention here last night. A live and
let live" policy ultimately would be
the platform on which American in
dustry would strive, he said, and
the cotton manufacturing business
would stand it's application as much
as any other industry.
Mr.. Lowe sounded an optimistic
note for the future of the business.
He cited the great shortage of man.

and Asia, and the Iessened produc-

hour working week in the plants.

At the same time he asserted that
1920 and 1921 had shown the public
the selfish extremes to which or
ganized labor would go.
"The open shop is the only form
of employment which provides Amer

profits Of the federal reserve bank

BY THEODORE TrEIER

WASHINGTON, April 21.-Presi-
dent Harding is growing tired of
patronage wrangles and the constant
arrival of delegations in Washington
in support of candidates for various
offices. So is Attorney General
Daugherty, chief political adviser of
the president, who is today threaten
ing show down on the calls of del
egations. In fact, Frank Gibbs, Sec
rotary to Mr.. Daugherty, excitedIy
told a politician this week that he
and the attorney general were half
crazy" because of the importuning
of politicians and the streams of
delegations.
eve Simply can't attend to bust
ness and meet all these men who
want offices or are seeking a job for
some friend. Write what you have
to say about your man. We are go
ing to quit seeing all these delega-
TONS" exclaimed Mr.. Gibbs.
The patronage rush is understood
to be getting on the nerves of the
new administration. Georgia Repub-
licans, a number of whom are today
in Washington, may as we'll accept
that as a fact, and endeavor to iron
out their differences before taking
their cases to the White House.
President Harding, it was learned
today, has not yet considered the
Georgia patronage situation, and his
conferences with Georgia Republ1-
cans have not been at his initiative.
Recently the president told Clark
Grier of Augusta, that when he got
around to the Georgia matters, he
would send for Mr.. Grier and proba-
bly, others. So far, Mr.. Grier hasn't
been sent for, although he and sew
eral associates are spending much
of their time in Washington. Mr..
president and is waiting for the

now in Washington, watching patron
age affairs, are Charles Adamson, of

of Gainesville. All have seen repre-
sentative c. Bascom Slemp, of Vir-
ginia, general adviser to the president
bon southern politics, and other Re-
| publican leaders here.
Mr.. Mcclure has made an engage
ment to see President Harding next
Monday. Mr.. Mcclure says he wants
to advise the president to recognize
the substantial men of the Republic
an party in the south and to give
Georgia the very best appointments
to: federal offices. The Atlanta mer-
chant said he was seeking nothing

course that would lend respectable
ity and standing to the Republican
party in the southern states.

After the road is completed, the

Last year it was decided to pave

German Opposition
To Transfer of Gold
Reserve Is Expressed
New Questions

BERLIN. April 21.-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press. )-While the German
'cabinet has not yet indicated the ma
commissions demand that the Ger
man gold reserve be transferred to
some point in the occupied zone,
President Hayenstein of the reichs-
bank and the financial writer's sum-
marily reject the proposition.
They take the stand that the gold
is no tonly the property of a pri-
vate bank, but, it's removal from Ber-
lin under the conditions named would
result in the collapse of German
currency at home and abroad.
The experts assert such a pro-
Iceeding would work havos with Ger
man economic interests and prompt
ly result in an advance of all com
modities to fabulous prices.
President Havenstein declares Sc
riOus consideration of the PROPOSE
ton. by the cabinet would be a mere

Germany which would accede to the
entente's demand.

presses suspicion that the French
are the driving force behind the new
demand. 1T SAYS that once tn egold

the reichsbanlIs vaults and placed
under. entente control in the occu-
pied zone it will no longer remain
as an active asset of the, band as
it's ultimate seizure would then be-
come a simple matter. This news
paper estimates that volume of Ger
man currency held abroad at 2O.0O0,-
100000 marks and that foreign &c
mands on Germany of all kinds total
5,O00O 900 marks. The value of
the present gold reserve of 100000
600 marks is computed as represent
ing 18 per cent of Germany's cur
rency issue, and its disappearance
from the banks assets, the newspa-
per asserts, would not only result in

CONGRESS- LAPSES
into OLD ETHARGY
Of Phi: WAR TIMES

WASHINGTON, April 21-Con-
gress has beaten the country back
to "normalcy."
After being in session ten days,
it was apparent today that a spirit
Of lethargy, often prevalent in the
pre"war days, pervades Capitol Hill.
So far the work of both houses
has aroused little interest in Wash
ington. The new congress, faced with
a multitude of problems, seems to be
unusually slow in getting under way,
veteran observers say.
Many members of congress frank
ly are beWildered at the large amount
of legislation expected during the
extra session and are in a quandary
as to what moves should come first.
Inquiries among Republican leaders
reveals that a program which may
be considered definite has not yet
been formed.
Those leaders who favor imm ediate
consideration of the revenue laws
claim that the congressional lethargy
is due to the fact that the tariff
legislation was put at the head of
the slate in the house. They claim
that the interest of the country is
centered in a speedy modification of
the tax burdens or in a satisfactory
solution of the railroad problem and
that the people in general are not
much aroused over the tariff.
In addition, the belief prevails that
much of the, work now being done
on tariff legislation will have to
be repealed because of the constant
ly changing trade conditions.
The sessions of both houses re-
semble those of pre-war days. Lit
tie interest has been manifest in
the discussion of the Colombian
treaty in the senate. Most Of those
who sit through the sessions of the
house are new members, who either
are curious as to how legislation is
passed or who want to start their
congressional careers by regular at
tendance. None of the excitement Of
the war days or of the postwar at
lacks on the Wilson administration
is present.
Occasionally the house is aroused
from it's lethargy by sharp partisan
debate or by an eloquent Grafton of
w. Bourke Cochran, of New York,
but this is only short-lived.
Few committees are functioning
and no one seems TO he in q hurry
