said:

NJ ADOO EN- TRY.
ACCEPTED
QUIETLY |
Democratic Leaders Here Are
Interested in Wilson's Atti-
tude Toward Candidacy.
By GEORGE II. HOLMES.
InternatiOnaI News Service.


The official entry of William @.
McAdoo into the race for the Demo
cratic nomination for the Presidency
was received with quiet interest
among Democratic leaders in the
capital today
His candidacy has been regarded
for so long as an accepted thing
and a foregone conclusion that the
formal act of casting his sombrero
in the ring in South Dakota created
scarcely a ripple on the placid sur
face of Democratic waters.
Curiosity Quickened.
The most noticeable result of Nc
Adoo's formal announcement was
to quicken the curiosity that is
generally felt in Democratic quar-
ters as to how his son-in-law's can
didacy will be dealt with by Wood
row Wilson. The recluse of s street
has by no means retired from the
counsels of his party, and he fol-
lows the turns and shifts of party
politics with a good deal more as
siduity than is generally credited.
So fare as could be ascertained
today from those who are regular
visitors to the former Presidents
quiet study he has never expressed
any opinion concerning his seH-ir-
laws candidacy, unless it has been
to McAdoo himself. Callers from
time to time have endeavored to
sound out Wilson on various can
didates, but their efforts in this
direction have invariably met with
replies which indicated Wilson was
more interested in principles and
policies than in personalities.

Neck Broken, Skull
Fractured, Branded
Drunk Bv Doctor

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 10.
IF it has reached the point
where the employees in our hos
pitfalls cannot tell the difference
between a man with q broken
neck and drunk it is high
time this council started
house cleaning and discharged
every person, regardless Of
rank or position"
Thus E. E. Ailor, city council,
man, expressed his sentiments
at the council meeting today.
The charges grew out of the
case of Walter Allen, who was
taken to the city hospital after
an automobile accident. Allen,
it is charged, was forcibly re-
moved from the hospital and
sent to Jail, the attending
physicians saying he was
drunk, boisterous, and I'M
manageable"
Allen died two days later. An
autopsy showed him to have
been suffering from a broken
neck, fractured skull, crushed
ribs, and many other injuries.
