And, large and comprehensive as that list may seem, it is possible for the developments in the coming Xew York convention to be such that it might be necessary to go even further afield, for that convention will be one which the circumstances will be such that the convention may have to try out many men before a man is reached who is sufficiently acceptable to both factions. Also, thisr list, as to some of the names, may seem to be far-fetched, but every one of these men is mentioned and has friends who are watching for the opening to put their man forward.

And the writer is confident he has done no man the injustice of putting him on, this list against his Banks Winter and his wife are now swept a musical world forty years ago, was home again. Banks Winter, the Macon boy who composed the sentimental old favorite; Banks Win ter, with white hair and wrinkled face, was back in the scenes of his boyhood. Royal Welcome. All this happened on May 4, and Macon gave her famous son a royal welcome. None felt it strange that the first thing Banks Winter did" was to step into an automobile and ask to be taken to the Central railrond 6hops, where Winter laid down his tools to give to the world his beautiful tenor voice and "White Wings." Mr.

Winter was born in Macon, his father, being James Felix Winter and his mother Caroline Victoria Comer Winter. For a short time he attended Mercer university, but on account of delicate health was withdrawn by his father and apprenticed to Dan Google, a master mechanic wot king in the railroad shops. Apnea ring with great success in the "Macorv Amateur Minstrels," Winter's voice attracted attention and he joined Haverly's Mastodon Minstrels "40 count 'em." Later he became a member of Billy Arlington's Min strels, winning fame as a ballad sin ger and composing and singmjr to nonularitv his world-famous "White Wings." without which no fashionable parlor and melodeon was complete forty years ago. He sang this song all over the civilized world, being asked on one oc casion to sing "White Wings" at Windsor Castle in honor of the then Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII. He and his daughter, the well- known Winona Winter, appeared in Irlw "Washington, May 31.

In approving the Pepper plan, the republican majority of tlie senate foreign relations committee took the most certain way for defeating any action by this eon- ress to secure adherence by the United States to the world court, the democratic members declared today in a minority report. The report was signed by every rnocratic member and was presented b.v Senator Swnnson, Virginia, author of. a proposal which, the minority as-Ff rted. comprised precisely the 'outline given in -he messages of Presidents Harding and Coolidge. The issue presented by the presidential th report said, "was to adhere under certain and safe reservations to the ex- Siting permanent court of international justice." Prospects Slim.

The author of "White Wings." fa mous old ballad whose tuneful strains Chevrolet terms with the Smith people ana has usually been grouped with George Brennan, the Democratic boss of Illinois, anod Charles F.

Murphy, the late Democratic boss of Tammany, as being the "big three" of the democratic old guard who compose the Smith backing. (This alleged intimacy De-tween Taggart on the one part ana lurphy and Brennan on the other, Las been more a newspaper fiction than a fact. Nevertheless, there is just enough fact in it to explain the amount of fiction that has been built on" the top of the fact.) Taggart is clearly on good enough terms with the Smith leaders and the old guard Democratic leaders generally, to be alle to tell them, if he chooses to do so, that Ralston, if President, would be all right" as regards ratronagc and matters of that sort and convey his assurance accepted by the old gnard leaders. On the other hand, there is an odd friendliness between McAdoo anu Taggart. To most the old guard leaders, McAdoo is a man accursed.

Thev hated McAdoo when r.e was Secretary of the Treasury as mucn as they hated Wilson, and for the same reason, namely, that neither Wilson nor McAdoo "played the game" as regards patronage in the war the old guard leaders think that Democratic Presidents and Democratic Cabinet members ought to play lr.

in the most logical compromise in tne coming mm-, ocratic convention. Kalston Second Choice. In addition to this personal relationship among the leaders, some of McAdoo'a follower are disposed to turn to Taggart as their second choice. The writer has been assured that the second choice of most of the McAdoo delegates from Georgia is Ralston, and ha? also been assured that some of the McAdoo delegates from Texas have Ralston in mind as their second choice. Other McAdoo delegates elsewhere have Ralston as their second choice.

The McAdoo leaders would probably have little difficulty in delivering a good deal of their strength to Ralston if they chose tolo so. And. as I have already said, the Smith people would probably he willing to accept Ralston as a compromise, Ralston leader, laggart, woum assure them that Ralston, if he were president, would "act regular" in the matter of patronage, and would otherwise be loyal to the democratic organization in New York, Chicago and elsewhere. One other reason for the common talk of Ralston as the compromise is the familiar geographical one. Ralston is put forward this year on the same ground that Cox and Harding were put forward in 1020, namely, that he comes from a big and doubtful state, important to carry in the election.

This theory is, in short, that Ralston would assure Indiana to the democrats. The considerations stated above arc the reasons whv Ralston has generally been looked upon as the most likely compromise. Doesn't Want Office. Rut as ugainst all this there has arisen lately a good deal of doubt among democratic leaders as to whether it is wise to name Ralston. Many of the leaders have come to Washington to look Ralston over.

Thev discover that Ralston really does not "want the office, that he would accept the -nomination, but" wouM do so with something like dismay. They find that Ralston likes his comfortable position as senator, in which his term lasts for more than four years yet, and that he is loath to give it up for the cruelly hard business of running for the presidency, and the even more cruelly hard business of being president. Ralston is 67, and both his age and his temperament cause mm to incline strongly against being the democratic candidate for the presi-decy, unless it is thrust upon him. (Commonly, when a man takes this pose about the presidency, it is bunk. but Ralston has really succeeded in inn King the uemoeratic icaucrs unot-i- i i i stand that his case it is sincere.) These democratic lenders nre moved to consider whether it would not be wise to give the nomination to some younger man.

to some one more aggres sive in temperament. And so many democratic leaders are coming to feel that they ought not, if they can avoid it. name their candidate for the presidency on the mere 1 tb.it he to he in avail- iv able compromise between two angry in Icture Frames 5 To Order SOU.

necessary, before they will give up. The McAdoo people say about the same thing. It is imssible for rvne or the other to win. It is possible for superior strategy on the part of the Smith people to overrun the McAdoo forces. It is possible for the McAdoo forces to do what the AYilson forces did in namely, prolong the convention until there is an adjournment over Sunday and during the adjournment work on the delegates in such away as to make converts to McAdoo.

On the other hand it is possible for the atmosphere of the convention in Xew York to be so overwhelmingly favorable to Smith as to overcome the prejudice of the McAdoo delegates. It is possible for some dramatic accident, not now to be foreseen, to cause one group or the other to win the tug-of-war. It is possible, but it does not seem jnobablc. On-, the assumption that this tug-of-war dors not end in the victory of one or the other. It must some time eoino to jui end.

The convention must nominate somebody and the purpose of the present article is to s.iv something about the man who has been most often mentioned as a possible and likely compromise, if and when It is seen to be clearly impossible to nominate either McAdoo or Smith. Kalston As Compromise. The man who has been most orten mentioned in this connection at least he has been mentioned most often until just recently is Senator Samuel M. Kalston. of Indiana.

The reason Ralston has been most often mentioned as the compromise between McAdoo and Smith, lies to some extent. in those solid, sane qualities, which appeal to all and give offense to none. But there is. in adddition, a political basis for the frequent mention of Ralston. That political reason lie in the relation, first, of Ralston to the Democratic leader of his state.

Thomas Taggart; and second, in the relation of Taggart to the two main contenders. McAdoo and Smith. Because of these relationships; Ralftnn i-i in the unusual position of beinj the second choice of som of the McAdoo people and also being acceptable to some of the Smith people. Satisfactory to Both.

M. Kimbroush, senior instructor assigned to the Georgia national guard organizations and well-known throughout the state.

Colonel Kimbrouch's statement was in connection with the 200th in- fan try, new national guard regiment, and brought out that employers of members of the organization rot only should encourage enlistment, but also should make all arrangements for men in their employ to attend the annual summer camps.

They feel that they ought not to nominate a reluctant man or a man of inactive temperament, or an old man or an elderly man.

They look forward to the election, and they are convinced that the democrats cannot win this year with just any candidate. They feel that they ought to name a candidate with strong and outstanding qualities to recommend him, with some identity with the issues before the country. Any Democrat Carry State. Also, these democratic leaders say-that it is not necessary this year to take the candidate from Indiana in order to carry that state, because, with the spectacle before the Indiana voters of their recent republican governor of Indiana now in the Atlanta penitentiary, the democrats ought to be able to carry Indiana with almost any candidate for president. Assuming that Ralston is not taken as the compromise, the convention will then enter a very large field.
