Piled Up in West

NEW YORK. May S.-William
Gibbs McAdoo is certain winner.
in the race for the Democratic presi.
DENTAL nomination, according to his
national campaign manager, Judge
David Ladd Rockwell.
Judge Rockwell. in a special in.
terview with representative of The
Atlanta Journal last night, declared
that state convention and primary
results point to a clear-cut victory
for Mr.. McAdoo at the national
convention next month.
State after state falling in line
for McAdoo reflects the sentiments
Of the public and justifies the pre-
diction Of victory, Judge Rockwell
said. He added that during the past
few days Texas, Oklahoma, Wash
ington and California have stepped
into the McAdoo line.
In the Texas contest on Saturday
MIR. NcAdoo won an overwhelming
victory with Governor Neff, OF
Texas, running second, and Senator
Underwood, of Alabama, running a
poor third. The entire delegation
from Texas, with it's forty votes,
will come to New York convention
pleuged under unit rule for McAdoo,
in the opinion OF Thomas B. Love,
Cato Sells and Marshall Hicks, Nc.
Adoo managers in Texas.
In Oklahoma, the entire delega-
ton, with twenty votes, has been
pledged to McAdoo. On Tuesday,
California came through with an
overwhelming victory for McAdoo
and gave him the entire delegation
with twenty-six votes. Last Friday,
the state of Washington gave its
fourteen votes to McAdoo under the
Il it rule, this rule not to be broken
except by two-thirds vote of the dele
cation.
These victories follow close on the
heels of Mr.. McAdooS victories in
North Carolina, where he was given
twenty-six votes under the unit rule.
and South Carolina, where the entire
delegation Of eighteen votes went
to him.
Judge Rockwell declared that dur.
ing the past few weeks there has
been noticeable change in the atti-
tude of the metropolitan press in
the east and the strength of the
/ McAdoo movement is being more
generally realized throughout this
section of the country.
There is absolutely no doubt in
my mind he said. 'as to the re-
suits in the national convention next

Uncle George Sheram
Won't Hike to Reunion
This Year, He Ayers

"Uncle George" Sheram. one Of
Georgia's best known Confederate
veterans, famous for having walked
to the annual reunions for many
years, has decided to discard the
"heel and toe" method and take a
chance on a train for the Memphis
gathering in June, he said while in
Atlanta Wednesday.
"Uncle George" has specific bust.
ness on hand If he is to ride he
must have the fare and from 81
years in this vicinity it was not diff
cult for him to hit on a plan.
II am going to sell pecans and

said, although the peanut feature of

from the chief of police to sell any,

Uncle George" a native Of Cog.
ginsyille, Ga, recently has returned
from Florida, where he said the bad
weather played havoc with his pedal
activities. He is full of hope, how
ever, and the same CLINT of deter
mination that shone at northern lines
in the COS still flashes from his blue
eyes.
II decided it would be too hot in
June to walk to Memphis" he said.
I'm a year older than was last year
and I'm beginning to feel my age a
little. I don't think it hardly would
be safe to attempt to make the trip
afoot."
But when the "boys in gray" con.
gregate June in Memphis the odds
all are in favor Of Uncle George"
being there. If the trains quit rum
ming he says he figures there are a.
few miles still left in his 84-year.old
legs
