+ BY ADMISSION MEN

ANNISTONA Ala, Aug. 11.-Mrs.
Evelyn Sue R;ckner, alleged slayer
of her husband, Lieutenant James
c. Rickner, was freed on bond this
afternoon, the second time. The
bond for $4,000, which was allowed
by Judge William I. Grub, of Biz

Lieutenant Rickner was shot to
death in his quarters at Camp Nc

About two weeks ago, Mrs. Rick

Henry Ford Predicts
Fine Business Year;
Says Europe Is Lazy

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE Dow
Jones Financial News Service today
sent out the following under a Ma
rion, Ohio, date:
Henry Ford departed from the
atmosphere of mourning long enough
to express his decided optimism over
business prospects, not only for fall
and winter, but for next spring and
summer as we'll.
Not a cloud in sight" he told
Wall street reporter. Don't worry
about foreign competition. Europe
is too lazy. You can't do anything
for nations which will not help them.
selves.
eff you think the Ford company
has any doubt about the demand for
Ford cars next year you should see
the extensive preparations we are
making to maintain capacity pro-
duction.
I'm other lines the trade outlook
is equally good" he continued.
Aside from the steel industry there
has been no excessive output.
steel manufacturers habitually
produce and then they have TO start
a war to create consumption de-
mands. What the steel business
needs is rerduced quantity and in
creased quality.
eff only producers would curtail
their output of ordinary steel and
turn out more alloy to build lighter
locomotive and passenger cars the
problem would be solved.
This is what the country needs -

COOLIDGE, SLATED FOR SHELF,
NOW TO HEAD 1924 TICKET,
REPUBLICAN LEADERS AGREE

that Progressive hopes are DEAD.
They are still in a mood to fight, to
fight somebody, somewhere. Per
haps they can find riffs in the Coo:
lidge armor, but the time is short
and he has all the advantage.
The hopes of Hiram Johnson, OF
LaF'ollette, of Pinchot, and the 9th
erS who may have been considered
| in line for the presidential nomina-
ton, were built upon an opportunity
of attack. They are suddenly left
with no one to attack.
The Harding administration is gone
from consideration. 1t died with the
president. The Republican platform,
dictated by the regular leaders, will
point to the administration with
pride; the insurgents can not view it
with alarm, for it is a thing over
with and done.
Democrats to Attack Party
Republican leaders no longer deny
that the country was restless at the
time of President Harding's death.
1t was a reStlessness suggestive OF a
change. The country was in a mood
for experimentation.
Now, through an act of provi-
dence, the change has come. There
is new deal at the White House,
new deal without an upset to the
party in power, without any schism
within the ranks. The leaders be-
lieve that much Of the restlessness
will be relieved; that there will be
disposition instead to give the new
man his chance. They believe there
will be at least temporary sober
ing of the more radical thought. They
believe that any opposition to Mr..
Coolidge in the next Republican con-
vention must be Of such a scattering
mature as to be all but negligible.
The leaders are here to discuss the
situation and the more they study it
the better they are pleased with the
prospects.
So much for the Republicans.
The Democrats view the situation
from an entirely different angle.
They, too, agree that the Harding adj
ministration is a thing of the past,
but they say that Republican re-
sponsibility for the situation which
may confront the country next year,
can not be shifted from the party to
the individual. The Democrats will
attack the party and its capacity to
govern.
The Democratic attack will swing
away from the White House to the
capitol. 1t was never the Democratic
disposition to make a fight upon Mr..
Harding himself. They have pre-
ferred all along to take the position
that Mr.. Harding was a good man,
a man trying to do the right thing,
but that his party leaders in congress
would not support him in his prin-
cipal policies and would not fall in
with his beneficent leadership.
AS the Democrats see it, President
Coolidge will not be able to do more
with recalcitraht congress than did
Mr.. Harding. The Democrats will
turn their guns upon congress, upon
the senate in particular, and believe
that if they can continue the swing
away from the Republican party
which was SO manifest in the 1922
elections, they can sweep the presi-
dency along with a possible congress
sional oYerturn.

CHARLESTON QUIET
AS NATIONAL GUARD
IS MUSTERED OUT

CHARLESTON, S. c., Aug. 49,
With the declaration of Thomas P.
Stoney as the city democracy
choice for mayor of Charleston and
the rehabilitation OF the militia,
which has been on duty here since
the municipal primary elections last
Tuesday, surface appearances indi-
cate that everything is tranquil here
after the hectic period of the last
few days wis.,
The refusal today of Congressman
w. Turner Logan, chairman Of the
city Democratic executive commit
| tee, and law partner to Mayor john
p. Grace, defeated by Mr.. Stone|,
to turn over the keys to Hibernian
hall where the ballot boxes were
kept under seal since the early hours
of this morning when the Stoney fac
ton of the executive committee de-
clared Mr.. Stoney the nominee for
mayor, caused Sheriff PoulnOt, of
Charleston county, to order the
windows priced. The ballot boxes
were obtained this way and were
taken to the county Jail for safe
keeping and final disposition.
At 1:45 o'clock this afternoon, Col
onel Harry o. Wilmington, com
mander of the troops, demobilized
Companies A and B. of the 118th in
fantry, South Carolina national
guard. which have been on guard
since last Tuesday on order of Gov
ernor Mcleod as a matter Of pre-
caution" Sheriff Pou1not informed
the military authorities that, in his
opinion, there was no further need
of military guard.
Chairman Logan, later in the day
addressed a letter to Governor MO
Leod, in which he termed the use
of the militia with the election "a
most high-handed and outrageous
proceeding and, destructive OF the
very foundation of our constitution
and the liberties of South Carolinians
and American citizens
In some quarters, however, the
opinion is advanced that the action
of the eight Stoney members of the
committee last night in declaring Mr..
Storey nominated mayor is Illegal,
but no statement has been given by
the Grace side whether the matter
will be taken into the courts.
GOVERNOR HOLDS
MILITIA USE LEGAL
COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug. 11.-De-
claring that he was fully prepared to
establish the legality of his action
in using the national guard in con-
nection with the Charleston primary,
Governor Thomas G. Mcleod made a
brief statement this afternoon in re-
ply to the letter addressed to him
by w. Turner Logan, chairman OK
the Charleston city executive COM
mittee, protesting against the call
ing out of the military forces.
II am perfectly willing for the
public to have full knowledge of the
facts which led UP to the ordering of
the troops to Charleston" the gov
ernor said when shown a copy of
Mr.. Logan's letter as the latter gave
it to the Associated Press at Charles
ten, land the necessity and cause for
my action, am willing to submit
to the judgment OF fair-minded PEG
pie"

]. ]. BROWN SCORES
STEWART AS ENEMY
OF HIS DEPARTMENT

Commissioner of Agriculture J. j.
Brown, in a statement Saturday
night, charged Representative Stew
art, of Atkinson, with political
trickery" in his effort to pass his
own resolution for an investigation
of the department of agriculture.
Representative Stewart IS the
bitter enemy of my department, !"
said the commissioner. "He is op-
posed to the senate resolution by
Senator Landlord because it pro
vides for a fair, square investiga-
ton. He, favors his own resolution
because it gives the investigating
committee the right to hold a big
stick over my department for
whole Year-and next year is a po-
litical year, too"
Mr.. Brown said he feared the
deadlock between the house and
senate over the merits Of the two
resolutions might prevent any in
yestigation at all, and called on the
members of both branches to vote
in favor of an early probe that
would sift fully all charges against
the department and learn the
TRUTH
I'VE have nothing. to conceal"
the commissioner said. 1--WE oppose
an investigation by biased men who
are prejudiced against us, but we
welcome the fullest investigation by
men with wide-open minds, whose
desire is to get at the real facts.
Such an investigation is due. the de-
partment, the commissioner and the
people of Georgia"

Dramatic Switch in Political
Situation Comes When
Fate 0Verturns Plans OF
Party DiCtators
BY ROBERT Z. SMALL
Especial Wire Service to The JournaEl
(CopyriEht, 1921

WASHINGTON, Aug. lin the
calm that has followed the storm,
the leaders of the Grand Old Party,
gathered here from every section OF
| the county, profess to see in the sue
cession of Calvi nCoolidge to the
presidency a solution rather than a
/ complication of their problems.
Fate plays many strange pranks.
| One turn of the political kaleido-
scope and the whole picture is
changed. The man the Republican
Headers had decided to shelve, the
man who was to be cast aside after
one term in the vice presidency,
| flashes to the fore and these same
leaders are agreed today that he must
be the next nominee of the party to
succeed himself in the White House.
They are waiting for his orders.
1t has been one of the most dra-
matte switches in presidential sit
uation ever known in Washington.
Men who two weeks ago shrugged
their shoulders at the mention Of
Calvin Coolidge's name, today attend
him hat in hand. They have learned
lndC O6SlJuy IIoCS dOOFS
the dictates of a party council.
1t had been decided that Mr.. Coo
lidge would lend no particular
strength to ticket in 1924 headed
by Warren Harding. Mr.. Harding
could pretty safely count upon the
New England vote anyway. In the
interest of party success, Mr.. Coo
lidge must forego any further am
billions he might have and step aside
to make room for some good man
from the west, from the home of the
Progressives and the radicals; some
one who might lend touch at least
of Progressive color to the national
ticket.
Have Faith in Coolidge
All this is changed now. Mr. Coo
lidge can have the next regular Re-
publican nomination for the asking.
AS a matter of fact it will be thrust
upon him. The leaders will not take
no for an answer. They lave faith
in President Coolidge. They believe
that even in the snort time that in
tervenes before the preference pri
maries, and the convention itself is
upon us, he will establish himself as
the party choice.
The conclusion that President
Harding's death had left the party
in chaos was erroneous. The Pro-
gressives and radical wings of the
party were preparing to descend up
on Mr.. Harding in the presidential
year. 1t will be difficult for them
to descend upon President Coolidge,
for he has done nothing Upon which
they can descend.
Calvin Coolidge has assumed
leadership which must be respected.
1t must not be assumed from this
