munication soliciting donations from
members of the state Democrats to
help defray expenses of the Georgia
delegates to the Democratic national
convention was read in the lower
house yesterday by the clerk at the
instigation of Representative Joe
Wood of Fulton county. Atlanta, Ga
The appeal praised the delegation
for standing firmly by and in con-
formity with the instructions given
it by the people of the state in using
their efforts to nominate William
Gibbs McAdoo," but pointed out that
because the delegates had been
forced to remain in New York longer
than had been anticipated, many are
in need of financial assistance.
Representative Wood, it was said,
has requested that the petition be
read in the Senate today.

contest between Senator Glass, John
w. Davis and Senator Underwood is
just as severe. So involved is the
whole situation that 1t may become
necessary. ultimately, to pick some
one who is entirely outside of the
convention race and SELF him to the
convention.
The allies" have bent every en-
ergy to eliminate McAdoo from the
contest. But now when that goal is
in sight they seem to be helpless to
offer to the convention a candidate e
who can be nominated. The various
second string of men are as tenacious
and as stubborn as the man whom
they have been criucizing for the
cause to be. For Mr. McAdoo has
been the strong figure in the con-
vention race. He received at the
start far more votes than any other
candidate and the delegates have
stood by him through long hours of
balloting.
If a candidate is finally select I'd
from the east undoubtedly a candi-
date for the vice presidency will be
selected from the west, and vice
versa If Ralston is named for the
presidency, then 1t IS likely that
Copeland of New York may be his
running mate.

Should John Davis be nominated
for the presidency, then the vice

an even hundred "a record that
Democrats are hoping never will

The delegation from the District

through eighty-seven ballots for

every reason to believe that it will
continue to cast its six votes for
McAdoo, it was said today, until
there is evidence of a swing that

Bore No Enmity to Fiancee
of Slayer, Says Sheriff
In Michigan Strangling
BY SONIA LEE,
international News Service,

BENTON HARBOR, Mich, Aug.
14.-Florence Mckinney, pretty
farm girl, who drove Emil Zupke's
automobile while he, sitting beside
her, strangled the life out of her
rival, Cora Raber, suggested the
murder to show her power over
Zupke, Sheriff George Bridgeman
asserted today after a night of
questioning the girl.
Had No Enmity.
The Mckinney girl did not want
to marry Ace" Zupke, the scape-
grace young farmer who was thrown
out of his own home by his father
two weeks ago. She had no par
ticular enmity for her rival, the
girl who wanted Zupke to marry
her to give her expected child a
name, according to the sheriff. She
just wanted to show her power, the
sheriff said.
Both Zupke and the Mckinley
girl are held on warrants charging
first degree murder.
Florence Mckinney had shown
that she could take Ace away
from Cora Raber, the sheriff point
ed out, but she didn't want to
marry him and told the sheriff so.
Wore Wedding Finery.
The victim of the plot, who went
with Zupke that night in the ex.
pectation of marrying him, wore
her wedding finery-a white satin
gown, white silk stockings, white
shoes and the dainty lingerie of a
bride, it was learned today. The
shoes, stockings and lingerie were
on the body when it was found
huddled and hidden near the road,
but the wedding gown was missing.
Sheriff Bridgeman questioned
zupke and Florence Mckinney
closely to learn if the body had
been taken elsewhere and the
brown slip, which Mrs. Raber,
mother of the slain girl, said she
did. not recognize. put on in the
place of the bridal satin.
Both denied this had been done.
They were also silent when con-
fronted with evidence that three
days after the murder they had
driven fifteen miles to Baroda,
gone to a picture show and that
there Miss Mckinney had told
Louis OFT. another admirer, that
she feared Zupke had killed Cora
Raber.
