.SLEMP To SURVEY
COOLIDGE s CHANCES
Of WINNING SOUTH
BY LAWRENCE MARTIN

WASHINGTON, Dec. PC. Bas-
com Slemp, secretary to President
President Coolidge, leaves Washing
ton today for political survey of the
south. Slemp is southern manager
of the Coolidge campaign.
In the next weeks, he will, by per-
sOnal work, erect defenses in south
ern states against the invasion Frank
Hitchcock, manager for Hiram John
son, is planning to make in that sec
ton to capture convention delegates.
During the holidays, Slemp will
combine rest and political confer
ences with southern friends. lie
will go directly from Washington to
Florida, which in recent years, has
become a notable political winter re-
sort. Slemp will have no difficulty
meeting many of his southern politi
cal intimates during his vacation.
After the holidays he will see other
friends in various parts of the south.
Hitchcock, Johnsons manager has
always been noted for his AGILITY to
line up southern delegates. The
southern delegations which have Vot-
ed en- bloc, are important to any pres
identiai candidate. In some circum-
stances, the south might have the
determining voice in the Cleveland
convention in the selection OF the
Republican nominee, though that
does mot now appear probable.
But Slemp, on his trip, will have an
opportunity to learn what steps
Hitchcock is taking; how far the
Johnson organization has penetrated
into the south and what effect has
been produced, with relation to the
Coolidge candidacy, by the restora-
ton of full southern representation
in the convention. He also will OBJ
serve the fleet of Henry Ford's an
nouncement for Mr.. Coolidge. In
the south, Ford would have been sure
of considerable support had he been
a candidate because of his Muscle
Shoals offer. Whether this Ford sup
port will now swing to MI Coolidge
may be determined in measure by
Slemps activities on his trip.

Florida Association
Objects to Schedule
OF Homeseeker Rates

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec, %
Disapproval of the hOmeseekers' rate
schedule for Florida as announced
yesterday by the Southeastern Pas
senger association was voiced to-
day by FL. II. Richardson, chairman
Of the Florida homeseekers' commit
tee Of the Florida Realtors assOcia-
ton, and by J. L. Wallace, secre-
tary of the State Realtors board.
Contents of the schedule showed
that the passenger association has
entirely disregarded the protests on
three points submitted to the asso-
citation by the committee. These
protests had to do with the limited
time when reduced rates to home
seekers would be placed on sale; the
restrictions by the carriers as to des-
tinations, and the provision that
homeseekers must travel in parties
OF five or more.
The committee asked for home
seekers rates throughout the year,
travel to any point in the southern
states, and individual train.

SURVIVORS OF SEA DISASTER
PICTURE HORRORS; q LOST

the other boat, it was not seen after
leaving the ship.
Inability to launch the boats
turned the attention of the crew to
the life RATS and although the Runa
was at this time lying nearly flat on
her side, q raft was launched.
The listing of the ship, washed by
heavy seas, had been taking the toll
of the crew one by one and the sur
vivors told pitiful stories of the last
goodbyes called by their shipmates
as they were swept overheard or
could no longer maintain their hold
on rigging and deck houses.
Captain Iverson and Fireman John
Ashiem were seen struggling in the
water clinging to a long oar. but
when the Runa finally went down.
20 minutes later, both were sucked
under and Ashiem was the only one
to reappear He was dragged aboard
the raft by the second mate.
Then came six hours of exposure
and horror. The chief engineer,
who was on the raft, became insane
and died an hour before the Mills
arrived at the scene. Other men on
the dlI SuCCulIlOSu anu IIlSlI DOu-
les were washed overheard, follow
ing that Of the engineer, when
numbed hands refused to clutch
ropes and other holds which were
keeping the survivors aboard the
raft.
O'Rourke, the mess boy, was the
first sighted clinging to the remains
of the broken life boat and feebly
waving for help. He was almost
naked, having given his outer
clothing to his companion in the
boat who was dying of exhaustion.
On the raft were Kai Anderson,
aged fifteen, and rated as an ordi.
nary seaman; Second Mate Oskay
FrOeseth and John Ashiepl, the fire
man who was rescued after the
death of the ships master. While
all of the men were in an exhaust
ed condition., Askiem's condition
was critical and it was stated by the
others that he could not have lived
another hour.
The fifth and last survivor res
cued was G. Knudson, the ships
carpenter, who was found clinging
to the remains Of a part of the
Runa's deck house.
Knudson SAID his principal fear
was that the Mills would overtake
him as she passed several times
before coming in hailing distance.
Captain w. D. Evans, of the
Mills, Immediately wirelessed a coast
guard cutter and it was this mes
sage that gave the world the first
information of the disaster, but
there were no details.
The Runa was a small cargo YES
sci of $40 tons, owned by II. Waag,
of Christiania, Norway. The surviv-
ors will leave by train Tuesday, in
structions having been received to
send them to New York from where
they probably will be sent to their
homes in different nnrts of NORWAY

FORD ENDORSEMENT
DAMAGES COOLIDGE,
v. ]. BRYAN ASSERTS

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 22.-William
Jennings Bryan, candidate for dele
gate to the national Democratic con-
vention from this state, issued a
statement today in regard to Henry
Ford's Endorsement of President Cool
idge in which he states that the re-
action will hurt Coolidge instead of
helping him.
The statement follows:
THE first impression made by Mr..
Ford's statement Will probably be
favorable to President COOLIDGE
candidacy, but the reaction is likely
to prove damaging blow to- the
president.
"Mr. Ford has Oeen talked Of as
the candidate of the masses, his sup
port coming from both Democrats
and Republicans who interpreted his
candidacy as protest against the re-
dictionary policies of most of the
Republican leaders, and some of the
Democratic leaders. Mr.. Ford, as the
millionaire champion of the poor peo-
pie of the country, would make an
inspiring spectacle, but Mr.. Ford
loses his prominence when he joins
with the rest Of the big business
men in support of a reactionary can.

He will not carry with him any
of the plutocrats because they are
, already supporting Mr.. Coolidge; the
| presidents opposition to the excess
profits tax, made sure or their sup.
port; but Mr.. Ford's desertion of the
masses Will create an irritation that
| Will become more pronounced as the
campaign approaches. The men who
have difficulty in keeping their
household expenditures within their
incomes-the men who, as a rule, buy
Ford cars-Wili resent the abandon
ment of their cause by one of the
richest men in the country whom
they egarded-mistakenl it now
seems-as their friend.
His use of the word safe in de
scribing President Coolidge, will suH
gest a companion word, sane which
usually accompanies the word safe
when used to describe public mer
and political policies. Those who tall

upon the intelligence, as we'll as

survivors of the Inflated Norwegian
steamer Runa, who arrived here on
the tanker w. w. Mills, gave the
first details Of the disaster from
which they were rescued. The men,
all who remaia of the Runa's crew
of twenty-eight, were sent Ito Port

when it was decided to abandon her.
The Runa was en- route to Liverpool
with a cargo of resin from Savan-

list grew worse during the night OF

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-The cotton
market was very quiet today and the
little business reported seemed to
be chiefly of a pre-holiday charac-

prices sagged off to 1896 for De

Private cables reported a healthy
