PAGE TEN M’ADOO’S CHANCE IS TO ABOLISH TWO-THIRD RULE as Will Go Into Convention With Many Delegates as the Taggart- Brennan-Murphy Combination. These Delegates Can Be Increased Tammany want him and that conse- will be ia that arena that the real circus performance will take place. The issue will rest on the ability of. McAdoo managers to trade more skillfully than Murphy, Brennan and Taggert McAdoo, at course, recognizes the fact that neither Wall Street nor to a Mere Majority From Unin- st meted Delegates, He Could Then Substitute Majority Rule and Win Nomination. Written Specially for The Chronicle By Edward Percy Howard ' B (Through Autocaster Service) Washington, April 14.—According quently he will face bitter opposition from New York. He knows, too, that under the two-thirds rule he has scarcely a chance to land the nomi nation under any circumstances. How ever, if he can manage to gain suffi cient additions to his backing from among the uninstructed delegates to total 51 per cent of the votes, there which, if it be found wise to put into operation, will give the “bosses” of the Democratic National Convention the surprise of their lives. McAdoo will enter the convention with more delegates pledged <.to his candidacy than any other aspirant for the nomination, possibly with as high as forty per cent of the delegates pledged to support him, at his pres ent rate of winning primaries. If this continues, then McAdoo will be in a strong position, quite as strong, in fact, as Murphy, Brennan and Taggart. His power to throw a monkey wrench in the machinery will be quite equal with others. The only point is, can he keep it there, or will the old-timers be able to steal his strength and flatten,him out. The deciding fSfctor, of course, will be the uninstructed delegates, and it to information just received here ( ^ HtUe doubt that before the voting from reliable sources, William Gibbs begins the proposal will be made to McAdoo’s forces have in mind plans, abrogate the two-thirds rule and to permit a majority vote to decide the nomination. '* i • The convention by majority vote can abolish the two-third rule. If that fight be won, then the nomi nation of McAdoo is practically a certainty. The master card will be played at the convention. If the two-third rule prevails, then the Taggart-Murphy-Brennan forces will have sufficient delegates to block their candidate with the consequent result that a “dark-horse” would be nominated.

A depend able baking powder must be employed or you do not get the full nutritious value of the wheat—nor will vour bakings be as pal atable and easily digested. The same results cannot be had if you use Self Rising Flours, which are improperly * packed in porous sacks or bags, thus allowing absorp tion of moisture from the air. Food authorities and physi cians agree that bakings that do not raise properlyare bad for health. Such foods are hard to digest and in time cause stom* ach trouble. Mothers who are interested in the proper growth and health of their children (and all mothers are) should never use anything but a good brand of plain flour and a time-tested leavener such as Calumet—the economy Baking Powder. Calumet has more than the onfi- I nary leavenihg strength. It raises every baking to its height of nutri tious value. It is pure and depend able—do not look for a substitute— there is none.

It praises the man who gets things done. It erects hi sstatue la our parka and public squares that young manhood and womanhood may catch inspiration from his life, and emulate his virtues. Halls of fame give him fitting recog nition and a large place. Music, lit erature, all art immortalize him. Historical twet-books make hhn the hero who led that others might follow. Great men come In groups. Epochs make them, and they make great epochs Each la dependent on the. other. Human greatness la largely a matter of attainment A man Is great or small according to what he is able to give the world. But hla output must show visible achievements and tan* glble results ' Now all of this la well enough. No fault can be found with such' rewards, except.that greatness through attain ment never tells the story. The whole story cannot be related because there Is much greatness of the heart It is greatness not through doing, but In being. In the long last effort rather than attainment la the greatness that counts To disregard effort la to min imise the very force that holds the world together. Many of the finest achievements of our world are not lasting. They are ephemeral. Books, schools and churches, empires and great nations hare all lived their allotted time, ac complished their quota of good, and then perished. Such achievements are not failures by any means, but any of them may suffer the fate of oblivion. But what about noble efforts? What about character, and service, and right eousness? What about example? Easter is the crowning Sunday of the year because It teaches that lesson year after year. It ever brinks forth the potent truth that the life eternal Is the life that knows God serves tha great teacher Who brought life and immortality to light, and finds life’s deepest and truest meaning In serv ice and worthy example. There la no death when things are considered in that light. The Eternal life la measured by the Immortal things of the spirit, and not by the mor tal things at the flesh. It la a matter of quality, and not of quantity. It la Indestructible because It la of God. It lives for all time. Not long qnleeoent, It la ever alive end awake to the build ing of the beet world of which human mlnde, and hearts, and hands, are capable. This Is life Eternal. It if the joy ' and triumph of the Beater morn. « K \ i ^ Vift plan attprr (ihtr limii Hag HE place where the Lord lay, from whence He came on Easter Sunday, the first born from the dead, may not have been the site of the Church of the Holy Se pulcher In-Jerusalem, after all 1 Becpnt Investigations incline many to the belief that Gen. “Chinese" Gor don was nearer right In picking upon a tomb In 'the rock, which has the form “of a skull,” and la probably the Golgotha of the crucifixion outside the dty wall of Jerusalem, as being Joseph of Arlmathea’s appointed burial place. St. John tells us: “Now In the place where He was crucified there was a garden; and In the garden a new sep- Hofy Women at the Tomb. ulcher, wherein was never man yet laid. There laid they Jesus therefore, because of the Jews’ Preparation day; for the sepulcher was nigh at hand." That presupposes a tomb dose to the plaqi of execution, and makes probable General Gordon’s presumption. St. Mark says further that the sepulcher “Upa hewn out of a rock," as It also thtg tooth. \'At any rate eo probable did N ap pear that this was the garden tomb, that In 1894 Mist Louisa Hope, an Eng lish lady, anil othem bought the prop erty and formed a sodety to keep the tomb “sacred at a quiet on the oat mid an the Of Clinton, South Carolina Condensed from Report to Comptroller of Currency AT THE CLOSE OF BUSINESS MARCH 31, 1924 '' ' • k f ' / .,.■•• • v i ' ■" Resources Loans and Discounts ...$616,011.96 Overdrafts 214.21 U.
