SOUTH STILL NEEDS
BUILDINGS GALORE
Construction Still Going For
ward At Record Rates-New
Industrial Growth Reported

ATLANTA, June 28.-While the
building shortage in Some sections
of the country appears to have
been practically met by the great
building program Of the last year
Or so, it is not the case in many
sections of the South where build
ing construction is still going for
ward at record rates, according to
Hentz, Reid and Adler, nationally
known architects of Atlanta.
A study of conditions over the
South, in which the Atlanta arcm-
tects are designing may structures,
Indicate, it was stated, that this
great constructive program is noc
being carried out blindly, but in
response to actual needs. Despite
the huge total of building in the
South ON the last three years, it was
pointed out, rents are stationary In
all larger centers and the demand
excellent.
The higher standard of living
which the new era has brought to
the South, it was asserted here by
mortgage bond houses, has created
demand for modern living quar-
tiers which are steady and consist
ent source of income to owners OF
the better grade houses, apartments
and hotels.
That the South is taking new
strides in industrial and commercial
growth while other sections of the
country are perhaps marking time,
was pointed out here today by Mr..
Adler, of the Atlanta architectural
firm. He said that while there is no
mushroom boom, the section is tie
center of the nations greatest pro
gressive activity at the present time.
Building records are quite accurate
indexes to the progress and pros
perity of a population, Mr.. Adler
said.

vention in Atlanta and to support

Fully aware that the l.lan pillory

the nomination roll was prepared
and the speakers coached that TIE

ton should be stressed as McAdoo
characteristic.
Hence it was that an Irishman
from North Dakota denounced the
khan by name in one breath aud
lauded William Gibbs McAdoo,
whose nomination he seconded in the
other.
When he, pronounced McAdoo's
name the Georgia delegation, which
has stood lot of finger pointing

"klan delegation" jumped up on
its chairs and put its flag as high in
the air as they could.

cation partakes OF an emotional fer
vor that defies analysis. To them
he is the one heroic figure in the

They refuse to lift their eyes de-

no second choice. There is a cru
sading, almost religious spirit, in
their championship that amounts to
worship.

of their hopes, the only thing they
will consider even for a moment
But, also, just as there is a vast

WASHINGTON I 5IiiiiI
LETT E
Dnxy N xIrrNTT
BY HARRY B. HUNT
NEA Service Writer

NEW YORK, June 2S.-Ihe
Democratic committee, in prepar-
inc for the New York convention,
foresaw a long drawnout siege
Tickets of admission to the big bat
Gle carry coupons for is days.
This provides for a longer session
than that attending the record
deadlock in Baltimore in 1912 when
Champ Clark, with majority vote
in his favor, was unable to pile up
The necessary two-thirds and vert
down to defeat when the deadlock
broke in favor Of Woodrow Wilson.
Just as Clark held a majority at
Baltimore, but lost the nomination,
50 are McAdoo and Smith likely to
hold majority at some time during
the balloting in New York, only t"
find the necessary 1872 votes still be-
yond attainment.
The accumulating bitterness IN
the battle between these two camps,
each of which will at least hold q
vote sufficient to veto the hopes OF
the other, makes the nomination OF
either Of these first ballot leaders
most improbable.
s%e
EARLY maneuvering among dele
CATION leaders makes it appear
that Ralston may be the first bene-
ficiary of a considerable part Of
the McAdoo strength if and when
the breakup begins.
Ralston is second choice for a
very considerable block Of McAdoo
delegates, particularly from the mid
die west and south.
The first consideration for these
delegates will be the incorporation,
in the party platform, of snecific
and clear-cut plank dealing with az
ricultural relief.
With such plank adopted, they
feel that Ralston, next to McAdoe
offers the best chance as a candi-
date who can stand on it sympa-
Ithetically and at the same time hold
other elements of support necessary
70 carry on election.

MADOO OR DARK HORSE
MUST WIN

NEW YORK, June 28.--If Nc
Adoo does not win, the convention
will enter the field of the dark
horses. It is McAdoo or a dark
horse; Smith cannot win. Smith
is less a candidate than a spear
point. Among the anti-McAdoo
leaders, a few from New YORK
really hope and think that Smith
may win. This opinion was ex-
pressed here last night by Mark Sui
livan, nationally known newspaper
writer and political observer at he
Democratic National convention.
But the more Important generals
of the anti-McAdoo group, the ones
who come from outside New York.
do not expect to push Smith to VIC
tory. They are using him as the
spear point Of their resistance 10
Mr.. McAdoo.
If all the candidates except Nc
Adco and Smith were removed from
The fight, and if all the delegates
were obliged to vote for one Of
.hese twin that event McAdoo
would get about $50 votes and
smith about 450. McAdoo has
about 400 delegates who are his
own under all conditions. There
are about $50 more who win always
pc for McAdoo as against Smith,
although they would be as well sat
isfied with Carter Glass or John W.
Davis or Senator Robinson, of Ark
ansas.
So that it is MeAdoo or one of
The dark horses. In the dark-horse
field it is a clear fact that there are
more delegates favorable to john
w. Davis than to any other one.
Not only are many individual dele
gates for him but in addition there
is a prevailing current Of the oest
sort Of sentiment for him. Trey
feel that he has dinstinction, the
touch of eminenee which in their
hearts, the better sort Of delegate
wants.

Next to Ralston, the second-line
developing early strength
that makes him appear a stable
factor in the final showdown is
John W Davis of West Virginia.
DAVIS, although presented as
West VTginia's favorite son, is a
New York attorney with Morgan &
Co, among his chief clients. His
friends claim he viii inherit a large
block ofsthe Smith ballots whenever
the strength Of the New York gov
ernor begins to disintegrate.
This bequest, however, must come
at first from Smith delegates out
side New York, for New York's 80
votes will stick through thick an i
shin to the magnetic man from The
East Side.
Doubtless they viii vote to make
the final selection unanimous,
should some one other than Smith
be the nominee, but they will do so
in a daze, scarcely realizing what
has happened.

In view of the alleged violation of

since the companies, it is alleged, are
able to reduce rates in separate in
