Search For Vice Presidential Candidate Is Trans

which must come from the local lead
ers. 1t cannot be forced from with
out 80
One case in point is that of Senator
Brookhart of Iowa, who is up for re-
nomination as the republican candidate
Brookhart typifies insurgency. He is
chairman of the Daugherty investigating
committee, and one of the leaders of the
LaFollette block. The administration
would rest easier if he were not around.
Iowa regulars are making d hard fight
to kill him off in the primaries the
first week in June. The National Re-
publican, edited by George b. Lockwood,
secretary of the republican national
committee, appears this week with a
leading article reading Brookhart, out
of the party and demanding. his defeat
in the primary. Lockwood is close
associate of John T, Adams of Iowa,
publican national committee. They have
been the strongest advocates of a pol
icy of ruthlessness toward the insurg-
ents.
Decides No
But Coolidge has decided not to fol-
low this policy 81
. 1t was stated by a. close friend OF the
President Friday that, there win be no
effort from here to beat Brookhart.
The fight will be made locally in Iowa.
Another important result of this pol
icy of liberation is the search for mid
die western candidate for Vice Presi-
dent. Once there was talk of Senator
Wadsworth of New York, straight-out
conservative. Now Coolidge is flirting
with Beveridge. He has considered Ken
yon, former Governor Lowden, Briga-
der General Charles G.. Dawes and
Governor Hyde of Montana. He has
told his friends that the party must go
west for its Vice Presidential candidate
for he feeles strongly that the agricul-
tural belt must be represented on the
ticket.
Coolidge stands for conservative pol
icies without any apologies but he has
come to the conclusion that the progress
sives must have a place in the sun.
In this respect, the administrations at
titude has undergone a marked change
from that of few months ago.

YATES DENIES
POWER TRUST
OPPOSES FORD
Heflin Invited To Cross
Examine Alabama Com
pany Witness

WASHINGTON, May 16. Denial
that a power combine was opposing
Henry Ford's bid for Muscle Shoals
was made by q. A. Yates, general man
pagen of the Alabama Power company at
today's hearing of the Senate agricul-
ture committee.
Chairman Norris said charges had
been made that a power trust, Of which
it was claimed the Alabama Power com
pany was part, had been making a
concerted effort to obstruct the Ford
offer and he invited evidence to prove
the charge.
Senator Helm, democrat, Alabama,
who made the. statement on the Senate
floor, was invited by Chairman Norris
to cross-examine Yates. Senator Helm
said he did not wish to cros-examine the
witness as he would not expect power
company witness to admit it.
Yates said the power companies
were not in a combine and the reason
his company opposed the Eord bid was
because it believed the public would be
benefited greater by the distribution
of power than by having it allocatcd to

WASHINGTON, May 16.--A signifi-
cant change of attitude is taking place
at the White House toward republican
dissenters as a result of the disinclina-
tion of Congress to follow in the Presi-
dents footsteps regarding immigration,
tax reduction, the soldier bonus, and
farm relief.
In the earlier stages of the pre-con-
vention campaign, the disposition of the
Coolidge forces was to fight insurgency
vigorously. Strict adherence to the adj
ministration policies was insisted upon.
But now it has become the cenvic-
ton of the Coolidge forces that to dc
this would be to set up a higher bar

lican senatorial and congressional can.

ship on legislation has grown so large
that a policy Of federation has been
deemed necessary.
The present attitude of the administra'
ton has been outlined by an advisor
close to President Coolidge, as follows
Want Party Cohesion
1--WE ought to have party cohesion
and unanimity as to policies. That is
the basis of party government. But
conditions resulting from the election
of 1922 (Which, sent large number OF
insurgents to Congress) are such that il
would be impossible to insist upon ev.
cry republican candidate standing on the
administration policies. Many Of the
republicans in Congress were elected
on campaign promises which are radi-
cally different from our policies. We
cannot expect them to ignore those
promises. The only way to deal with
the situation is to allow the party or
ganization in each state to work out its
own problem. We must trust to our
state leaders to lineup their forces in
accordance with the policies of the ma
tional administration. 1t is movement

BRITISH ISLE
SAID TO TIP
TOWARDS EAST

IT. OND0N, May 16.-wThe Island
OF Great Britain Is tipping
eastward, and has tilted sew
eral feet in that direction within
the last 300 years. This statement
was made G. II. ]. Layton, recently
in paper read before the society
of engineers at Burlington house.
A study of the east coast history
and photography, he said, goes to
support the theory that the island
is fitting, and a good deal Of what
is called erosion may be- as much
due to the rapid alienation Of the
relative levels Of sea and land, as
to tother causes. Between Cfomer
and Mundesley, the rate Of erosion
is about IA feet per annum.

MUTTON AND LAMB AS FOOD
Among the Most Healthful, Nutritious
and Palatable Of Meats, Say
Experts.

The production Of sheep for wool
alone Is rapidly on the wane in the
United States. More and more empha-
sis Is being placed on the production
of lamb and mutton for the table, al
though only 81 per cent Of the meat
consumed by the average American for
the last FIVE years was lamb or NUT
ton. This proportion should be much
larger, according to the United States
Department of Agriculture, as mutton
and lamb are among the most health
full, nutritious and palatable Of meats.
The reason for the limited use Of
lamb and mutton throughout the cen
tral section of the United States prob
ably had its origin in the days of the

GREENSBORO BAPTIST CHURCH
$4,000 Structure a Credit to Rev.
NJ. G. Morris and His Congregation

Greensboro, Md, Feb. 4-The new
$4,000 Baptist Church building of
which the Rev. Melvin G. Morris is
founder, builder and pastor, was dedi-
Gated Sunday last, February 10th, at
3 D. m. The week of Sunday, Febru-
airy 10 to II, will be known as Dedi
catory Week. There will be special
dedicatory services at 1880 a. M, 3
and 7.30 p. m, each Sunday, and 7.3O
each evening in the week except Sat
urday. Prominent speakers and spec
ial musical and vocal talent will make
all programs interesting. The Green's
boro Baptist Church building is one of
the most modern on the Peninsula.
1t has two floors ideally designed and
equipped for modern Sunday School
and Community work. 1t contains be-
sides a worshipful auditorium separ-
ate Sunday School class rooms for de-
partmental work, a community library
and reading rooms, nursery, modern
kitchen and banquet hall, permanent
stage, dressing rooms and auditorium
for clean and wholesome church and
community entertainments. An At
water Kent Radio receiving set is be-
ing installed to provide the cOmmun-
ity with outside lectures, sermons and
special programs. A brOadcasting
station is contemplated. The Rev.
Melvin G. Morris while State Evan
gelist for the Maryland Baptist Union
Association entered this community in
which there were no Baptists, total
stranger, without friends or money
and began the work which now has
i reached the stage of admiration. The
community first saw Mr.. Morris three
and one-half years ago in overalls
with several volunteers on centrally
located lot, building a large temporary
tabernacle in which he conducted the
greatest evangelistic campaign in the
J history of the county. AS a result OF
the campaign a Sunday School and
= Baptist Church was organized and a
$1,000 parsonage was built and fur
nished. The work grew and the con-
gregation began to feel the need of
permanent building. Having had ter
years experience in the electrical adj
vertising business as an engineer anC
designer before entering the ministry
!. Mr.. Morris drew the plans for a mod
: : en building. With the adoption O.
the plans by the congregation, worl
was started on the building with les
than $4,000 in the bank and no
knowing where the next dollar wa
coming from. The work was done b.
= workmen who were employed by tn
? hour with Mr.. Morris supervising tn
. Job. Church members and friends o
4 the congregation volunteered thei
+ services and gave some of the mater
r ials.
