HULL DOOMED
AS AIS MATE
Tennessee Leader Seen as
Best Choice.
BIZ Times Special


HOUSTON, June 19.-RepreSent-
alive Cordell Hull of Tennessee has
the best chance to be the Demo-
cratic vice presidential nominee, &C
cording to sentiment among early
convention arrivals. Hubs recent
announcement of his intention to
retire as national committeeman
has helped strengthen this belief.
Hull either plans to become vice
presidential nominee or to withdraw
entirely from national politics. He
has been active so long Democrats
refuse to believe he intends to quit
politics, so they think he is antici-
pating a place on the ticket.
Hull's selection would be easy to
understand, Democrats say. The
greatest opposition to Smith is the
Southeast and Hull is the favorite
candidate of his State and several
surrounding ones. II chosen he
would be expected to Keep the solid
South intact and to hold border
States in line.

EDINBURG, Ind, June 19.-W
G. Milburn, this towns marshal,
who is also a Church of God min
lister, is the center of a bitter con-
troversy which he declares is a re-
suit of efforts of bootleggers to
get" him, while petitions are in
circulation demanding that two
members Of the town board which
voted to appoint Milburn be ousted
Wallace Loucks and Guy Cooper
are the board members at which
the petitions are aimed.
According to advocates Of the
petitions, Milburn's strict enforce
ment of the law is hurting business
here, many farmers who formerly
dealt with local merchants are now
going to other towns.
Denies Charges Filed
Although it was announced few
days ago that Clyde Steinbarger
had filed charges of provoke, at
tempted assault and defamation of
character against Milburn, the mar
shall declares he made a trip tn
Franklin, johnson County seat, and
found there was nothing on file

Back Porch Conference on
Campaign Follows
Luncheon.
KEEP PLANS IN DARK
KanSan Expected to Make
Stump Tour Through
Farm States.
BY JOSEPH S. WASNEY
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, June 19-The
Californian and the Kansan who
make up the Republican presi-
dental ticket will spend this after
noon on back porch, planning
their campaign
Senator Charles Curtis, the vice
presidential nominee and one fourth
Kaw Indian, arrived here today
and made an appointment for what
is probably the most important con-
terence OF the campaign, with Her
bert Hoover, the presidential nomi-
nee, on the back porch of Hoover's
S-Street home.
Both Hoover and Curtis have re-
Trained from making public any Of
their plans pending this confer
ence.
Curtis to Tour West
Curtis was met at the train when
he arrived from Topeka, Kan, by
Hoover'S secretary, George E. Aker-
son. Hoover's automobile took Cur

and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Edward

the death of Mrs. Curtis last year.
and expects to stay there while in
Washington.
Hoover and Curtis were to meet at
noon for lunch at Hoover's home,
after which they planned to spend
the afternoon together.
Curtis, who is considerably more
OF a campaigner than Hoover is. is
expected to start touring the country
in few weeks. He is to concentrate
on the farming West, according to
Initiative plans.
Other political leaders had appoint
ments with Hoover for today and it
was indicated that the Hoover-C Cur
It's plans might be made public in
part later in the week. It is REGARDED
as likely, however, that the complete
plans will not be disclosed until the
Democratic convention takes it's
action
VIII Keen Job Awhile
One of the most important fac
tors in deciding on the campaign
plans is the conference to be held
Thursday by Hoover with James w.
Good of Iowa, his convention
manager, and a Republican commit
tee OF twenty-siX named at Kansas
City. The committee will select off,
GERS, including a chairman.
Hoover will continue as Secretary
Of Commerce for some time Aker-
son said. He would not elaborate as
to whether this meant that Hoover
would hold his post for several
months, as reported in outside Gig
cles.
Some friends intimated Hoover
might continue through the election
and until March 4, regardless of the
outcome of the election. Others
claimed, however, that Hoover will
go to California in August to receive
official notification, and that he will
resign before leaving for the West.
Democrats Pledge Aid
Failure Of Good to arrive Mon
day for a conference delayed some
what the drafting of the nominees
plans. Good stayed in Chicago after
the convention, to visit with his
wife, who was injured in an auto
mobile accident, and to attend
graduation exercises of his son.
The volume Of mail and telegrams
received by Hoover Monday was so
heavy that additional clerks had
to be added to his office to handle
1t. A number of messages we're
from southern Democrats pledging
their support to Hoover because Of
his activity in Mississippi flood re-
lief work.

Their buyers search the country

Incidentally, they do this searching

Recalls Slavery Days

Aunt Mary Jane Sissle. who is
more than 100. 7 guess" recalls
plantation days shrouded in happy
memories. She was a young woman
before the Civil War ended and she
accompanied her parents, brothers
and sisters on their exodus to the
North.
Mrs Lucille Hall, who says she
was horned in slavery" doesn't re-
member much about it and prefers
not to think about it at all. She
rather enjoys relating the time when
she was boss" of a restaurant near
the Union Station here where all
the Pullman porters ate.
Mary is erect, despite the century
mark, slender, with a parchment
like skin and sparkling eyes that re-
fleet the humor of her disposition.
Walking Advertisement
Lucille is the best advertisement
that her restaurant ever had, weigh
ing upwards of 300 pounds, with
white woody hair and snappy eyes.
She has a bass voice and booms out
her remarks like a commanding
general.
Il was born in a little old log
cabin on Martin Sissles' plantation
on the Louisville-N Nashville Rd.. in
Kentucky, not far from Lebanon
Aunt Mary recalls.
Those sure we're happy days.

members her duties of watching two

him.

enough he did die. Wasn't more

still is living she says, a nun in
convent at Lebanon.
