ELIZABETH CITY, NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 11, 1924. EIGHT PAGES No. 139 The Drift Seems To Be To Hoover For Vice President Nobody Has the Nomination Assured hut Slight Odd- Seem to Favor Commerce Man Who Is Being Groomed l?y His Friends as Presidential Nominee in 1923 Uy DAVID LAWRENCE (Cawrfakt. law. By n, **??*?> Cleveland, June 11.?Nobody has the Vice Presidency as sured today, but there are certain definite trends. Herbert Hoover's chances! seem at the moment better th?n' any one else's, but when M. L.j Burton of the University of)1 Michigan delivers his oration! nominating President Coolidge' on Thursday things may be dif-j ferent. Nothing would make Calvin Cool-II Idge happier than to have his life-1 long friend and admirer. Dr. Burton. I na/i1Td. on ,he t'cket with him. Tin politicians arc not "sold" on the idea or naming an unknown quantity. but If objections to the various men! named become too vehement they i may look to the choice of Dr Bur-1 ton as the least objectionable. Speak-' lng of objections, it is Interesting to hear the objections raised by dele-1 sates to virtually all the candidates j for v Ice President. Here are some of them: Senator Curtis of Kansas?voted to override President Coolldge'a veto or the soldiers' bonus which is here sy in this convention. Judge William S. Kenyon of Iowa ?too much of a radical and It might I look as if the regulars were yielding ' to the Western Insurgents. Hepresentative Dickinson of lown 1 ?not well enough known. Representative Sanders of Indiana ?same thing. Former Governor Lowden of Illi nois?he has said he did not want It and would not take it. so the 1111-' uols delegates have grown cold about trying to draft him. ) .Major General Harbord?not par ticularly active in politics and not sufficiently Identified with the Re publican party in the past to be re garded as a vote-getter, though his1 strength with the ex-service men Is cJunted as his main card of admis-1 won. Herbert Hoover?he is still looked upon by some farmers as having been responsible for the fixing of the price of wheat during the war when they felt they would have gotten more for their crop If the Govern ment had not Interferred. Also Sec retary Hoover's wavering In 1920i when he did not know whether toi Join the Republican or Democratic parties Is still held against him by, the regulars. | M L. Burton of Michigan?un known but acceptable If coolidge says! iJO. Thus does the Vice Presidential: race proceed here and. after talking Willi many of the leaders and sonir members of the Coolidge cabinet the I writer Is convinced that If there had been a definite movement organiied here for Herbert Hoover he would have an easy victory. As It Is. sen-i tlment for lilin Is growing. Some of the Hoover men reallte that the Secretary of Commerce pre fers to run his own department and would feel burled In the Vice Presi dency but there's another angle to that. Mr. Hoover Is young. Some' admirers think he may be a Presi dential candidate In 1928. The main handicap under which he sufTera in his politics Is his Identification with I the Wilson administration In Its ap peal for a Democratic Congreaa In 1918 and his lack of regularity. To be given a Vice Presidential liomtna-i t on by a regular Republican conven tion would for all times awecp away' that objection and If by chance he1 elected It la a aerloua question whether his executive ability would b. forgotten In so short a period as four years. The atory is told her that Herbert Hoover felt so deeply that he ought to be kept out of the \ Ice Presidential contest; that he (HTiwually appealed to President Coolidge recently to squelch the plan, but that Mr. Coolldg" smiling ly refused to ask his friends at Cleve land to eliminate Hoover. Tile tick et "Coolidge and Hoover" has fascln-: at* d some of the Coolidge managers With one man from Massachuaetts and the other from California, tin Idea of geographical breadth la con veyed and that la something Impor tant In polltica?1( may even be moro ao this year with a candidate from New Kngland at the top of the tick et and the Weat clamoring for rec ognition. The making of the platform Is un dramatlc. There are no serious dlvl alona of opinion. The committee on resolutions stayed up moat of the night trying to merge the varloua proposals Into a compact platform The meetings of the committee hav^ been characterlaed by the same spir it of deflance of the Larollette group as has been manifested on the con vention floor Itself. Incidentally when Representative Burton was keynot in* about third parties and the need for solidarity and everybody was looking at the Wisconsin delegation ? nd urging ita members to stand up ? nd cheer. Governor tllaln of Wis consin called acroaa the alale to the Pennsylvania delegation where 8ee rotary of the Tmaury Motion was nittInk "What you follows want la not solidarity but solld-dollarlty." Rome dologatos thought they hoard tho Wlaconaln governor say "aolld-Daughorty" but tho chance* aro ho monnt tho formor anyhow. To all which should bo add<-d tho significant fact that wheat wont up four and a half centa a buahel yen |torday. That may aoom llko market nowa but It la roally a ploco of po litical Information for as tho prlco of wheat asconds and tho Canadian crop appears to bo lowor than last year, tho chances of a more content ed agricultural electorate grow. And If that should be the case, the regu lars here feel they would bo Justi fied In worrying loss and le*a about f^aFollMte and the revolt of the West. TIME GET SEASON TICKETS IS SHORT The final report of Chautau qua guarantors will be made tonight, at the Chamber of Commerce Assembly rooms, at which guarantors are expected to make their final accounting and turn in their unsold tick ets. Tickets may still be ob tained. by any who desire to purchase them this evening, at the Southern Hotel or at The Advance office. Possiby they may be obtained at the same places also on Thursday morn ing, but It Ir safer to art today to be sure to avoid disappoint ment. Chautauqua begins Thursday afternoon with a eoocert by the Pan-American Marimba band, while the night feature, in addition to a concert by the same band, is a lecture on Crime and Punishment by Frank Tannenbaum. GAS PASSING AS A DENTAL ANESTHETIC (By Th? AtMCiatrd Prtu) ? Chicago, June 11?Objection to the'administration of "laughing gas" by dentists, because of the attendant dangers of (he anesthetic, was voiced in an address by Dr. M. Ecker, prominent New York dentist, before the American Medical Asso ciation today. The conscientious dentist "has never used thin gas without caution and perhaps dissat isfaction," he said. "After using this anesthetic and oxygen alone In 56,000 cases, the ex tractions being entirely satisfactory to the patient, but not to the admin istrator, we felt that In justice to tlio patient, the technique instituted by Colton in 1867 and used by him in 20,000 successful cases, and by others In many millions of cases since that time, could and\should be Improved." Some of the objections given by Dr. Ecker to "laughing gas" were the quickening of the pulse and the raising of the blood pressure of the patient; blueness and chemical changes of the blood; occasionally the tossing of the patient, and th^ need of "holding straps." with the attendant nervousness of the den-1 tlst.

BIG SPLURGE IN ADVERTISING NOW Cleveland Merchants as Buoy Picking Phrases to Catch Buyers as Convention Ora tors to C.ateli Votes. lly J. C. ROYLR (C??*rl?ht. IB24. By Th? M?M*t New York. June 11.?While dele gates to the Republican and Demo cratic conventions are preparing to pick candidates the merchants of Cleveland and New York are hand picking words for a tremendous vol ume of advertising. They believe. In company with a good many shrewd political leaders, that as a means of persuasion, no substitute for words has yet been Invented. While key noters put that theory into practice in the conevntlon halls, the merch ants will put it into effect In news paper advertising. New York merchants expect a surge of business to result and are rearranging sales forces In conse quence. In Cleveland the sale of Hoot and McRrlde. dry goods whole salers, in celebration of the 75th an niversary of the firm and the con vention, has attracted hundreds of purchasers and necessitated addi tions to the working force. Other wholesalers have been equally suc cessful and the retailers have gotten a fair start on what they hope will be a record-breaking week. The results of this Increased vol ume of advertising will be keenly watched by distributors all over tin country. For the recent recession In business activity has been accompan led by a decided falling off in adver tising volume. Some experts declare that the drop in advertising presag ed the fall In business activity, ami some hold the drop In business brought about the decrease in space used. Itut the fact remains that 12 large retail centers showed a falling off in advertising space In their local mediums In April as compared with 1f?2H and about 20 In May. The May figures are not entirely complete, but careful surveys show that the trend downward has continued. The reason for the Increased space taken here for the purpose of per suading convention visitors to buy Is explained by one keen advertising man as follows: i-co|M?' ho nni imy nocauao colli J r. ?Hon dcridoR thoy Klin 11 buy but be cause !In v want to buy- bprnuw | their InHtlnrtH and emotiona prompt 11hotii to buy.

The liepublican Convention went through with more routine to day while its platform committee was finally threshing out its differ ences. and many leaders were closet ed in hotels in conference over th* still undetermined Vice Presidential situation. Permanent organization with Frank W. Mondell of Wyoming as permanent chairman was duly in stalled without a hitch, convention rules were adopted. and the official roll of delegates perfected in due or der. In a short address and amid re pented cheers Mr. Mondell repeated the Coolidge rallying cry sounded yes terday by Temporary Chairman Bur ton, "We meet profoundly apprecia tive of wise, patriotic and inspiring Party leadership In the past, and earnestly thankful that the kindly providence and the great good for tune which gave our Party and the nation. Lincoln. McKinley. Roose velt and Harding has vouchsafed us ax the worthy successor of these dis tinguished patriots and the confi dence-inspiring character of Calvin Coolidge," he said. Nominations for President and Vice President will be made tomor row. After a brief session today, the convention recessed until 8 o'clock tonight, when It will receive and adopt the platform. Among other things the conven tion In adopting its ruins approved was a new arrangement by which women will have equal representa tion with nu n on the National Com mittee. Again, as at yesterday's session, there was long and loud demonstra tion when the rallying cry of party regularity and loyalty to Coolidge was sounded by Mondell. President Coolidge will probably be aske<l before night for an expres sion of his view respecting the Vice Presidential nomination. Conferences among leaders during the forenoon. developed little or no unanimity of opinion and, as one high in the councils of tjie party ex pressed it, "we are ready to be bossed."
