Standing by a radio in the White

The chief executive, who earlier
had listened with Mrs. Hoover to

Democrats joined with Republi-
cans in cheering and applauding
when President Hoover's renomi-

floor by Representative Mapes (R.,
Mich.). Mapes read the official fig
ures on the ballot. Before he could
say another word, Republicans be-

"That fixes things fine"

He spoke at a Democratic dinner

Georgia should and will furnish the
Summer home for the next President OF
the United States" he said.
We are not seeking in this State
to confer any empty honors upon any

sons of any other States, but we are
supporting one whose success is assured
in spite of the tricks and schemes OF
the Republican party to prevent his
nomination.
The legislative investigation of all
the departments of the State OF New
York will not stop him. The appoint
ment of the great New York jurist to
the United States Supreme Court will
not prevent his nomination.
These things serve only TO bring
about more activity on the part of the
Democratic neighbors Of Gov. Franklin
D. Roosevelt in Georgia"
Mr. Camp criticised what he called
failure of the Republican party and
President Hoover to carry out campaign
promises to maintain and increase
prosperity and added: Thank goodness

He said he did not subscribe to the
theory that any Democrat could be
elected President at this time, but as
serted the party could gain victory
with the proper candidate and a

the declarations that Japan does not
choose to listen to foreign advice re-

some effect in making japanese finan-

With authorization given to Japan's
representatives at Shanghai to act
forthrightly in the present crisis. cul-
minating in demanding that the Chi

miles from the Shanghai war zone, the
announced general offensive by the
reinforced Japanese forces will be soon
in full swing and the government hopes
that there will be no menace to nell
