Mr.. Allison says are quite satisfac-

Mr.. McAdoo

William Gibbs McAdoo, ex-
secretary of the treasury and
director general of the railroads
during the World War received
the vote of the State of Georgia
in the primary on Wednesday.
MIR. McAdoo's lead over SEN
ator Underwood was decisive.
Georgia desired to honor one
born on her soil. rather than a
native of her sister state. The
choice was one of men and not
of principle, Notwithstanding
the fact that an endeavor was
made to bring into the campaign
questions long since settled.
The Times-Recorder desired
above all else to see a Southern
man. familiar with our ira
ditions and problems, nominal
ed by the state and ultimately his
selection by the party in June.
We desired to see nominated a
man who COULD WIN, a man
who would not only receive the
support of the South. but one
who would be given the support
of the Democrats of the ma
ton.
In our opinion. Senator In
derwood is the ONLY Southern
Democrat who had--or who
now hasa fair chance to lead
the country in a,great Democrat
&c victory. in the fall.
1t is the opinion of astute poll
ticians that unless MIR. McAdoo
can secure the nomination
on the first ballot that he will
fail. After the first ballot we
may expect to see his support
leaving him and we hope that
when once Nc. McAdoo' 5
friends find he can not be NOM
mated, that they will then cast
the ballots of the Empire State
for MIR, Underwood.
There is a genuine desire on
the part of Democrats-and
many Republicans, for that mat.
ter, to see Senator Underwood
as the choice of the Democrats.
Undoubtedly, Senator Raj
ston, of Indiana, ranks along
with the Alabama statesman in
the race for nomination. His
name may appear early in the
balloting.
We believe that it would be
a mistake to nominate Mr.. Nc
Adoo this year. The Times.
Recorders first desire is to see
a Democratic victory in the fall
and to accomplish that, it is the
duty of the convention dele.
gates to nominate the man who
has ibe greatest opportunity for
success.

The Montgomery Advertiser,
IN discussing the Georgia cleo
ton, says that the loss of Geor-
gIa simply means that Senator
Underwood has lost one state,
and IN regard to the McAdoo
victory the Advertiser says:
There are two reasons WHY
McAdoo carried Georgia. The
fiirst and principal reason is that
ne is a native son of Georgia.
and he made a powerful senti,
mental appeal to the home folks.
his first wife was Georgia
born woman. His second wife
is the daughter of Woodrow VIII
son, once a resident of Georgia
The second reason is that
Georgia is the home state of the
ku kluX Khan. The khan is more
powerful in Georgia politics than
1t is In any other Southern state.
Oscar Underwood is the first and
only candidate for the presidency
IN 1924 to challenge the khan.
Mr.. McAdoo has catered to the
khan by the simple expedient of
lodging the issue.
If Mr.. McAdoo's native state
had repudiated him Wednesday
his candidacy for president would
have come to a quick and disas-
trous end.
Georgia, in a sentimental mo-
ment, has complimented ma
tive son, but in doing so it has
thrown away its vote. Mr.. Nc
Adoo is not going to be nominal
ed at the New York convention.
There isn't a political observer of
repute anywhere who seriously
expects him to be nominated. Mr..
Underwood may be. Georgia's
vote would have been of assist
ance to his cause, but the loss Of
it does not halt him in his tracks
as it would have halted William
Gibbs McAdoo had he lost.
Three reasons were para
mount in accounting for the Me
Adoo victory in the state. Fir.
and foremost was the 'nativ
son sentiment that swaye

CHINESE

CHlNESE
Have you noticed the great IN
crease in Chinese restaurants? AL
over the country, the Chinese are
coming to the front as leaders IA
the field of pretentious eating place
This interesting tendency follows
the gradual extinction of the old
time type of restaurant of liquor
days, usually conducted by former
Europeans.
Why are the Chinese gaining the
lead? Two reasons; First, they are
economical, wasting nothing. Sec
ond, a Chinese restaurant is gen.
orally operated on the cooperative
plan, walters often interested finan-
cially. Then, too, the Oriental lure
lately has been strong.

RACE

Los Angeles, racing with Detroit
for position as fourth largest city,
claims it will pass Detroit before
the end of 1924. At that time Los
Angeles expects to nave at least

The entire Pacific Coast is grow
ing with amazing speed. 1t is quite
possible that "the coast" eventually
viii have the nations largest city,
even larger than New York. Such
would be a logical development if,
as many experts predict, our foreign
trade future lies in the Orient in
stead of Europe.

TIPTOE
Keep your hat on when visiting
the art museum, urges A. S. Bay
linson, secretary of an artists or
ganization in New York. Says he:
I'VE want people to get away
from the sort of backwoods idea
many Americans have of art and
art exhibitions, which leads them to
take off their hats, talk in whispers
and tiptoe around gallery. Most
Americans do that to show their
respect for art. And that is all
Americans have, respect. They have
no love or understanding of it."
Baylinson should have talked to
that old-time Chicago packer who,
enraged because his son paid $4,000
Tor an oil painting of six sheep,
foamed: "Why, I can buy six real
sheep for less than $780," This
packer would have given Baylinson
some new IDEAS about popular re-
spect for art. ''

his native state, although he lost
his boyhood home county, can
not change a single item in the
summing up of the qualification
of Underwood for the presidency.
The Alabama senator has
courageously met every issue
he has never hesitated a moment
in stating his position, and has
seorned to ,stoop to quibbling.
Underwood, in losing Geor-
gia, has gained increasingly the
confidence of those who have all
along recognized the intrinsic
qualities Of his craftsmanship.
And we believe, too, that his re-
fusal to compromise his princi-
pies has won him the admiration
of many who voted for McAdoo.
Tuesdays victory for the Me-
Adoo forces means the gaining
of one state for McAdoo-anc
nothing more.
For the Alabama Senator, il
means the loss of one state
and nothing more.
The very fact that Meade
carried the state as a nativ,
son weakens the victory 70

FOR we believe that only a ma
tive son could have defeated
