ALABA|M|ANS FRON|V
On ANT|-K LA|V PLANK
Of SEN. Underwood

BIRMINGHAM, June IS. - pre-
convention caucus will be held Mon
! dav in New York in behalf of Sena-
tor Oscar w. Underwood's cam
paign for the presidential nomina-
ton, according to announcement
made here. The delegation named by
former Governor, b. b. Conner and
ALI TunstaiI. state political leader,
will depart for New York Saturday
night on a special train.
| In a letter received here yesterday
bv Chairman r. B. Evens, Of the
Alabama Democratic executive com
mittee, it was disclosed that one-third
of the delegates have failed to>pled9e
their support to Senator Underwood S
crusade against the ku \luX Khan.
The senator, however, confirmed
the delegate in toto, reiterated his
stand on all The issues involved in the
campaign, and strongly urged the
delegates from his home state to act
as a unit on all questions that coa-
front the convention.
Senator Underwood in his letter
said in part: Il regret exceedingly
that minority of the delegation has
hesitated to stand by my position on
a salient principle. [ do not doubt
their oyalty TO me and am hopeful
that when the delegation organizes
it will see the wisdom of action as a
unit on the questions that come be-
fore it for consideration"
For the first time, the Alabama
senator in his letter revealed that he
was not a party to the agreement be-
tween Mr.. Tunstall and former Gov
error Conner, whereby they were each
to name "a delegates. He said he
first leaned of this agreement
through the newspapers. Tunstall
was chairman of the senator's cam
paign committee in his race against
l.. b. MusgroVe in the March prefer
entail primary.
His war on the Ku <lux Khan was
discussed in detail by Senator Under
wood in his letter and disclosed that
he had asked Forney Johnson, of
Birmingham. son of a former COVER
nor of Alabama, who will place him
IN nomination, to lay great stress on
this issue.
Governmental principles come
first The personality of a candidate
is a secondary consideration" the
letter is quoted.
The Alabama presidential POSSIBLE
ity in his letter requested Tunstall to
obtain the viewpoints of the Ala
bama delegates as to the proposed
anti-klan plank before their names
were announced. If the matter had
been thus handled, it would have
saved embarrassment to all con-
serned, he added
Walter Moore, Alabama Democrat
&c national committeeman will pre-
side over the pre-convention meetings
or the delegation and every effort
VIII be made to harmonic it on all
issues.

Former McAdoo Slave
Going With Georgians
On Convention Iaunt

Accompanying the Georgia delega-
ton to the national Democratic con
Ventlon in New York City, when
they sail from Savannah on Friday
afternoon, will be an aged negro, an
eX-slaVe, 3orgeOusly attired in high
SILK hat, a Jim swinger" coat and
other articles of raiment appropriate
on such a mOmentous mission as
this.
Jim Democrat is his name. and
many years ago, before the War Be-
tween the States, he was owned bv
the McAdoo family that lived in
the shadow of Kennesaw mountain
IN Cobb county, not far from Mari
eta. Jim was called on one night to
hustle for the doctor and shortly
after he had brought the physician
poSte haste, the stork left a lusty
youngster at the McAdoo home
stead.
That yOungster was William
Gibbs McAdoo, who is regarded the
most probable choice of the Demo
cratic party as its presidential can
didate at the forthcoming convention
in New York.
Old Jim is not as spry as he was
the night he broke all speed records
to the doctors home, but he still
swears allegiance to 'Mistah VIII"
and firmly believes that the White
House is just around the corner.
Jim's stove-pipe hat will bear the
legend "McAdoo viii Do" and on
a broad white silk ribbon across his
breast will be the following SEMI
ments to which Jim subscribes:
"Jim Democrat is nv name T live
in Marietta, Ga, the birthplace of
William Gibbs McAdoo. l am the old
eXslaVe darkey that drove the at
tending physician to the McAdOo
home when he was born. I came up
here with the Georgia delegation to
see him nominated. Won't you vote

Simple Device May Some
Day SuppIant Kitchen
Stove, Says INVENTOR
Principle Is Simple
BY LARRY BOARDMAN

WASHINGTON, June 19.-Some
of these days Mrs. Housewife can
throw away the contents of the
kitchen stove woodbox, sick the bull
nup on the gas bill collector and do
her cooking by the heat of the sun
This is the prediction Of those
watching the experiments now being
conducted by DIR. C. G. Abbot, dlrec-
tor of the Smithsonian Institution s
astrophy observatory.
DR.. Abbot has been carrying on
his researches up to date with d
large solar cooker" erected on
Mount Wilson, in California.
These experiments have proved so
successful that he is now contem'
plating working out a solar cooking
davice of the same type but small
enough to be used in the nome
The Mount Wilson solar cooker Is
operated as follows;
A curved mirror, by 10 feet' Is
set up with it's cOncaVe reIlecths
surface toward the sun and It's axis
parallel to the axis of the earth
Above the mirror is reservoir
filled with cylinder oil,
Piping System Simple
Two pipes, leading from the MID
die and bottom of the reservoir are
ioinod together and run as one pipe
underneath the mirror, then up ana
through the center of the mirror
and hack into the top of the reser-
Voir
The suns rays reflected by the
mirrors concave surface are con-
centrated on the section OIL pipe luil-
ming through the mirror center
The Gil in this section of pipe be-
comes heated expands, and enters
the top OF the reservoir.
The cold oil farther down III the
reservoir is then forced out throuSh
the two lower pipes, through the
pipe underneath the mirror, into the
heated section of pipe and back INTO
the reservoirs tOp-a continuous
flow.
Two ovens are built in the reser-
voir. and as the hot oil flows in
cooking temperature is raised ana
maintained Either the upper or
lower oven may be used, depending
on the temperature desired. Inc
temperature is further regulated by
a valve which cuts off oil circulation
through either the middle or bottom
pipe at will.
Heat Is Held
Both pipes and reservoir are
heavily insulated to hold the oils
heat over night. The mirror is ro-
tated on its axis by a simple system
of weights and ordinary alarm clock
machinery in such a way as always
to set the full benefit of the sun 5
rays.
According to DR.. Abbot, cooking
operations carried on in the solar
cooker by Mrs. Abbot were most
successful All varieties of baking,
cooking of meats and vegetables and
preparation OF cereals left nothing
to be desired. The ovens were hot
- hours a day, and without run
ming expense.
AS to how soon solar cookers will
be established in the average home.
DIR. Abbot declares that he is no
prophet
In its present shape, the appa-
ratus is too large and expensive, >"
he said. Just when it will be made
practical l can't say. 1t has great
possibilities, though, and when l
can find time TO work it out
At any rate. Mrs Housewife is
hoping.

excess of the appropriation.
Under the statute, the common
schools receive SO per cent of all

break up the Democratic and Repub-
ican parties. That's why there is
still desire to name LaFollette, but
the Wisconsin senator knows that
if he is to have the support of the
conference for progressive political
action which meets at Cleveland on
JULY 4, he must continue to keep
himself from being in any way con-
nected with the st. Paul convention
and its communistic delegates.
The fight here is to make a per-
manent party organization and there
are enough communist delegates to
permit the national executive COM
mittee to accept avowed communists
in it's personnel This committee
would be analogous to the national
committee of the Republican or
Democratic parties and its chances
of amounting to anything in the
future depend upon it's willingness
or unWillingness to GUST the COM
munistS.
Short Life for Body.
Irrespective Of what happens
here, one may predict a short life
for the national executive committee
if it doesn't ultimately get rid Of
the communists. They belong in no
scheme which has for it's object di-
rect constitutional methods of get
ting political power. Their purpose is
only to sit in the councils Of the
radicals long enough to get the up
per hand and provoke general strikes
and other disturbances to the eco
nomic order.
The members of the farmor-labor
party of Minnesota are on the whole
former Republicans and Democrats.
They are radicals only in the sense
that they favor changes by legisla-
ton in the realm On agriculture and
industry but when farm prices are
nigh again they will become con-
sentative once more.
The third party convention here
represented small groups without
real political power and suffered
fro ma communistic faint. The real
third party convention Of progress
sives will be held in Cleveland on
JULY f.

The Democratic national platform ia

Bryan is expected to be member

Unless unexpected developments

1924 presidential election will be
fought over economic issues, Bryan
said.
Tariff, taxation, agricultural prob

oil scandals will receive the greatest
attention, the commoner believes.
Prohibition will not be an issue and
there will not be wet plank in the
Democratic platform under any Cir
cumstances," Bryan declared. Bryan
also urged the abolition of both the

Asked what the effect of a third

GRAIN

CHICAGO Thursday, June 49,
Wheat suffered a sharp setback aft
er the opening bulge today but the
buying power broadened on the dip.
A SENSATIONAL cable from Buenos
Aires showing advances of Z IA to
8 IA cents on wheat> in that mar
ket started wild rush to buy at the
opening. The big longs were salts
fled with their profits and they
filled up buyers with wheat. Even
after the demand was satisfied they
continued to sell and it was this
pressure that caused a break of near
ly cents from the top.
Buying power was broad on the
tip but it is more than likely that
it will take another day or two to
digest the lead of long wheat put
into the pit. The market needed a
break of this kind as there were too
many pyramided lines that always
prove a weak point in the fOunda-
ton of every bull movement. Heavy
rains over the northwest and a
moderating of temperatures in tine
southwest gave the crop Il healthier
appearance. Beneficial rains fell
over big part of Canada. Liverpool
bad a weak finish as the result Of
bearish American cables and the
improved Canadian crop outlook. IN
dica tions pointed to a better export
outlook early. Milling demand for
wheat was quiet. Primary receipts
were Il little longer
Corn followed the trend Of wheat.
Start was higher on scattered buy
ing because of the wheat bulge. On
the upturn longs tried to take
profits on their lines and they dis
covered that the demand was not
what they thought it to be. High
temperatures and rains where needed
Letteled the crop outlook and this
was the cause for the pressure on
December. Shipping demand was
moderate. Country offered no corn
to arrive.
Oats acted stubborn. The start
was higher on buying of September
credited to northwest account. Cash
houses sold and caused a reaction
but prices held steady after dipping
to the previous close. Shipping de-
mand was fair.
Provisions eased off under selling
by packers. Cash demand was better
for meats.
Wheat closed 1 IA to / 3-Sc lower.
