Former Republican Leader In
Cleveland, Says Hoover Can’t
Win, But Gen Chas. D. Dawes Can
< Writ fii v. The Sm; b' H
Fortune. now living in Chicago. M*
[•'"iluiv re the Republican lead*1
in Clcv: lahci county and postmast -
er a! Shelby tor a number oi years.)
Just my own individual view on
I'.k pc hucal situation today
li enough oi the rank and tile of
the voter.' in the Republican party
will cotnc to the front and demand
that Charles G. Dawes run In the
Republican primary as a candidate
for the nomination for presidem
against Mr Homer he will delca;
Mr. Hoover and be the Republics,',
nominee. Then lee the Democrat
nominate either one of their thre •
■strongest men. Governor Rooseve.;,
Governor Ritchie or Speaker John
N. Garner, and then you will see
one ol the hardest fought political
battle, iti.i. wu' ever made in this
country, with the results in the ba’
ance until the votes are counted
But it Da we., will not allow his
name u» be entered in the primary,
and will not agree to be the cantli- J
date, and if the politicians and of
fice holders go ahead and renomi
nate Mr. Hoover, and the Demo
crats nominate either one of the
three men 1 named, the Republican
party is deteated before they ge:
started. I said in 1892 that if •Ben
Harrison was renominated he wou'J
be deteated. He was.
£ . aid in 1912 that if Taft was re
nominated he wottld be defeated. He
was. Now 1 say if Hoover is renomi
nated lie will be defeated worse
than be defeated A1 Smith in 1923
it the Democrats will nominate
either one of the three men I nam
ed on a liberal platform they will!
carry New York. New Jersey. Illi
nois and the solid south.
Mi Hoover would not carry .r
Southern state in 1932. I was rais
ed in North Carolina, and 1 know
the Southern Democrats too well
They are all politicians, and they
are loo hungry tor office to let an
opportunity like the present one
pass by without taking advanla”*
of it Since Senator Morrow died,
and with Calvin Coolidge out, Gen
Dawes is about the only man It ft
that the Republicans can put up a
winning fight with. These are just
inv own individual political views,
honestly expressed as I see the sit
uation at the present time. Newt
keep your political eye on the fu
ture and see how much I w ill miss
the results when the battle Is over.
Respectfully.
J. B. Fortune.
P. S.-As you see Chicago get
both of the national conventions
Come to the convention and you
will be as safe as in any large eit"
in the country, if you are smar
enough to outgeneral the pick
pockets. I am not; they are to
smart for me, in crowds they hav
taken money out of my pants pod:
et, my inside coat pocket and almu
anywhere X put it. I have travel)'
all over tthe city on business both
day and night. Bandits have nev
bothered me. but the most thievin
pickpocket seems to be looking i
a fellow tn every crowd vou get i ■.

ting the mental balance of William
Melton, 18-year-old York negro, as
a result of which he may go to the

Unless Melton shows improvement,,
he will be sent to the state hospi- ■
