that he wag not seeking presidential

eventB of the session.
The platform was unanimously
adopted. It mentioned the tax reforms
which the Democratic party was said
to have inaugurated whereby the state
alged the counties in bearing their tax
burdens and at the same time provid
ed for the forward program of the ad
ministration.
The only mention of the Republican
party was to the effect that It was a
party -<ff fault-finding and negation,
which had nothing to Its credit and
relied mainly on criticisms of the
Democrats for Its issuer.

ocratic national convention were elec
ted, as follows: Josephus Daniels,
former secretary of the Navy ; Gover
nor Cameron Morrison ; former Lieu
tenant Governor O. Max Gardner;

twenty-one years of age she has won favorable comment from some of
our leading teachers as well as the press and the public. Rosati, the Ta
mous Italian teacher of New York who trained the artist Gigili, now
? with the Metropolitan Opera of New York said recently after hearing
Miss Russo sing, "She has a wonderful career before her. She is a
young woman of unusual promise." E Volpi of Atlanta, formerly op

Russo has been studying for the past year, states that, "Miss Russo is
tnie of -America's coming sopranos. She has wonderful possibilities."
