KELSEY BLANTON HEAD
OF DEMOCRATIC STATE
FINANCE COMMITTEE

Kelsey Blanton, prominent attorney
and former county Judge. has decided
to accept the appointment, rendered
him by Cordell Hull, chairman of the
National Democratic Committee. as
chairman for Florida of the finance
committee
In this office it will be Mr. Blanton's
duty TO look after the collection of
funds throughout the state for sup
port of the Democratic Campaign in
the doubtful states
Chairman Hull reports that the
great mass OF the people are dissatis-
fled with the accomplishments OF the
present administration and are in
receptive frame of mind toward the
Democratic party. The party is han
dicapped by the lack of funds, and
while no contest is anticipated in
this state, it is pointed out that it
is the duty of the Florida Democrats
to support the campaign elsewhere.
not only for the sake OF getting Dem
ocratic representatives and senators
in office. but for the effort such vic
tories will have on the 1924 cam
paign.
Chairman Blanton will start the
drive for funds the first of August
and he is particularly anxious to have
his home town and his home county
figure handsomely in the returns.

Cincinnati Ohio, July 29.-The pro
posed plan for the settlement of the
nation wide strike of shopmen, was
attacked this afternoon by II. A
Worcester, vice-president of the Big
Bour Railroad System, who declared
that if the striking shopmen should
be granted their claimed rights OF
seniority, it would mean that the rail

new men they had engaged to fill
the places of the striking shopmen
He did not see how the railroad ex

the rail strike settlement plan drawn
up by President Harding, to be con.
sidered at separate meetings of the
railroad executives and union Off.

day, but the president was said to
feel that they offered a basis upon
which the two sides should be able

in Chicago to consider the proposals
on the same day the rail heads meet
in New York for that purpose, B. M.

President Harding is understood to
have suggested a compromise on the
seniority question by which the new
men would retain their positions while
the strikers would be given a seniority
rank just behind the men who did
not walk out on July 1.
