Two-Thirds Rule
May Be Abrogated
At Convention

That the two-thirds rule for nomi-
mating candidates at the democratic
national convention has an excellent
chance of being abrogated at the
1928 convention is the opinion ex-
pressed by +. Walter Tripp, of At
lanta, publisher Of the Albanian and
legislative representative Of the state
brotherhood Of railroad trainmen.
Mr.. Tripp says that this most ini-
quitious system" has increasingly fav-
orable prospects, of being eliminated
from the party's governing rules, and
he predicts that the great majority of
delegates to attend the next national
convention will so vote.
It was asserted by Mr. Tripp that
the first attack in the William G.. Nc
Adoo campaign, if McAdoo decides to
become a candidate, now considered
probable, will be upon the tWO-thirds
vote rule, which it has been claimed
prevented the nomination Of Mr.. Nc
Adoo in 1924. The Atlanta man
quotes George Fort Milton, Chatta-
nooga publisher, who directed the Nc
Adoo publicity campaign two years
ago, as saying that McAdoo support
ers have lined up Ga of the 108 mem
bers Of the Democratic national com
mittee for such a change. This rule
requires a two-thirds vote Of the dele
gates to secure nomination.
Rule Is Liability
"The two-thirds rule is one of the
greatest liabilities the south possesses
politically" said Mr. Trip. 'If it
were true that the south possessed
the veto power through the twothirds
rule, and it is easily demonstrated
that it does not, / should still think
that, from point Of justice and
equity, we should not maintain this
rule Under it the south has no veto
power and under it the dearest prin-
ciples of Thomas Jefferson are ig-
nored."
Mr.. Tripp goes on to say that the
veto power necessarily means the
vote of a third Of the delegates
"There are 1903 delegates in the
democratic national convention, as
at present constituted a third of
which number is 1885," he said. "Fo
control veto the south would have
to have more than this, or total of
367 The total votes of the states
south of the Ohio and east Of the
Potomac and Mississippi is 220 or
LAT less than the figure required for
the number required to constitute a
veto. The northern and eastern
states have a total vote of 472."
Mr.. Tripp further said that in his
opinion, the two-thirds rule sis
undemocratic and its eff
fects frequently have been hurtful to
the party" He thought the rule gave
the corrupt political machines in the
party the opportunity of vetoing the
majority of the conventions.

Stop, Look and Listen
Takes Few Seconds

Atlanta, Ga.-Expert railroad men
in Atlanta say that it takes fast
railroad train an average of seven
seconds to pass crossing. Yet, ac-
cording to reliable statistics, more
than 1000 automobilists were killed
at grade crossings within year over
the country They could not wait
seven seconds.
1t is difficult for the driver of a
fast moving automobile to gauge the
relative speeds of his car and swift
train converging on the same point
from different directions, it was sta
ted in Atlanta by railway executives.
Therefore, there is only one rule to
follow. Let the train 80 by.

TUG OF WAR CONTEST BY
BIBIE SCHOOL

The Bible school of the Central
Christian Church has begun most
interesting contest. 1t is known as
"The Tug of War" contest. The
school was evenly divided as to num-
bers last Sunday and each side had
the same number, 85, to begin with.
The two sides will be known as the
Torchbearers, whose color is Red and
the Crusaders, whose color is Blue.
1t is an attendance contest and the
progress of the campaign will be
traced on a blackboard so that each
side can see how they stand each Sun
day.
The contest is to run for nine
weeks beginning last Sunday and run
ming through April 3rd. 1t is con-
dition that the losing side will enter
tain the winning side in some suitable
manner, to be decided upon at a.
later date, and within two weeks at-
ter the close of the contest.
The two sides have chosen gen
eral, a major, captain and lieuten-
ant, and these officers will have
charge and direct the progress Of the
campaign. Already much interest
has been manifested in it and various
members of the two sides are can
vassing for new recruits for their
"army." A regular city wide cam
paign will be put on and all who are
not attending Bible school elsewhere
are invited to come around and JOIN
the side of his choice and be in at the
big doings at the close.
Superintendent Will Adams is pre-
pairing some fine things for the open
ing of the school each Sunday morn
ing and those getting there on time,
10 O'Clock, will be well repaid for
their faithfulness. Don't wait to be
solicited but come on down and re-
ceive your badge and help win the

Well, Henry, perhaps you have a

That's just another way Of saying
that when a girl really cares for a
man, she gets her greatest pleasure,
not in being extensively entertained
but in just being with "him."
Much of the so-called entertain
ment of today, eXtravagant, hilar
ious, seemingly bubbling over with
merriment, is a surface thing. It's
not really entertainment, but a sub
stitute. When two persons are &C
cS.ally interested in each other, they
can dispense with most of it.
OF course, the modern girls repu-
tation for extravaganza and mild
gold-digging, is not unfounded. Like
many of her other faults, though,
it's pretty much a surface trait
When she shows signs of being
more highly entertained by young
mans conversation than by the lat
est musical show; when she seems
actually to have lost her taste for
the bright lights-Why then, young
man, unless you're in earnest your
self, it's time to take to the woods.
She is falling in love with you.

Hathaway should come to her from

marshal her thoughts to think of
ways to help Cherry was defeated
by the almost constant ringing of the
telephone. Reporters from all over

to hear the worst.
IT suppose Cherry told you that he

ingly. did she tell you that he urg-

Don't, honey" Bob soothed her.
I'm afraid he believes Cherry did it.
No, wait We've got to face facts,

can get her off scott free if she will
plead self-defense. And he doesn't

she sticks to her story of knowing
absolutely nothing of the murder. He
contends that it was either Cherry
