grass of Kentucky as a training diet
for a thoroughbred when he ran Zev
and My Own into the ground in the
Latonia Championship, is to be mar
ried to Miss Allyn King, stage
beauty, during the holidays.
An appealing story is woven
about the naming of In Memoriam
and evidently the last chapter is
about to be written in the marriage
of his owner.
Years ago when Carl Weidemann
was only a youngster, so the story
goes, he met, courted and won one
of the fairest bellies of the State ia
nous for it's mint juleps, fast horses
and beautiful women, sub!
1t was the age-old story Of love
at first sight and the courtship pro-
crossed rapidly under the mellow
benediction of Southern stars.
Even then Weidemann's ambition
was to own and race-the finest
thoroughbreds of old Kentucky, and
together he and his fiancee planned
a future studded with Derby win.
ners and rare happiness.
On the eve of their marriage,
runs the tale, the girl died. Broken
hearted, Weidemann was laft to
enjoy alone the wealth and material
happiness bestowed upon him.
One of the first colts to grace the
Weidemann stable was a likely
looking offspring of McGee-En-
chantress I'd. Weidemann named it

any honest effort to ease bur

not alone to reduction in the
gross sum of taxation, but to an
equitable distribution of the burden.

proposal to put a lighter tax on

McAdoo claimed that as secretary
OF the treasury in 1918 this pro
position was first made and an
amendment to the revenue bill was
offered by Senator Harris, of Geor-
gia. However. it was defeated, he
explained, by a vote of SO Re.

The Republican national con-
vention in 1924 will be held in
Cleveland during the week begin
ming June 10.
Final decision to this effect was
reached today by the Republican
national committee in session
here. It will be the first time in
twenty years that the convention
has been held elsewhere than in
Chicago.
Defeats San Francisco.
The Ohio city by the lakes got
the decision this morning over San
Francisco and Des Moines. Chicago
had previously withdrawn from the
race out Of Difference to the wishes
Of Administration leaders, including
President Coolidge himself, who
thought that party interests would
be better served all around II the
convention were taken elsewhere
next year.
The vote was: Cleveland, 80: San
Francisco, 10; Des Moines, 1.
Then upon a motion by William
H. Croker, national committeeman
from California, Cleveland was
made the unanimous choice.
The desire of President Coolidge
and his friends that Cleveland be
awarded the plum is understood to
have been based upon four con-
siderations: IL. Ohio was the native
State of the late President Harding;
(2), Ohio has no candidate for the
nomination this year and IL thus
neutral ground; (S), the Importance
of the State politically as doubtful
territory, and az, the fact that
Illinois Republicans are torn with
factional rows that might prove en-
barrassing II the convention were
held in Chicago.
The result was never in doubt
after Chicago's withdrawal, although
representatives Of San Francisco and
Des Moines made vigorous efforts
up to the last minute to obtain the
convention, and both served notice
they could now be considered bidders
for the meeting in 1928.
Increase of Delegates.
Second only In importance to the
choosing of the convention city and
the date was the action OF tho CON-
mittee this morning In voting O re-
apportionment of delegates to the
convention next June which will
bring the list of accredited delegates
up to approximately loo, each with
an alternate.
This was accomplished only after
an acrimonious wrangie In the COM
raittee, during which Senator r. y.
Howell of Nebraska warned the
committee that 1t was aFrogating to
itself power not reposed In 1t by the
1910 convention, and that 1t was
''inVitins the same trouble that was
encountered In 191a.'
The oenamittee, however, decided
to reverse ita action Of a year ago.

Terming President Coolidge's mes
sage to Congress as largely a coun-

nowhere is there a stimulating call

a policy of representation"
McAdoo Is prominently mentioned
as Democratic candidate for the
Presidency.
The some 400 Democrats who at
tended the luncheon had hoped Nc
Adoo would announce or refer to
his possible candidacy for the pre-

and he made no reference to it.

commentator of tax reduction"
