Curtis As The Running Mate For Hoover Kansas Senator Named As Vice-President Candidate X KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 15.— Charles Curtis of Kansas, born on a Kaw Indian Reservation and suc- cess’vely jockey, hack driver, lawyer and United States senator, was chosen today by the Republican na tional convention as the vice presi dential candidate to stand beside Herbert Hoover in the electie-n next November. The leader of the majority in the rerate, swarthy descendant of In dian ancestry, was swept to victory at the final sess’on of the party gathering by a vote of 1,052 to 34. A moment later the ir.do: sement was iriade unanimous by a roaring chorus. There was Only one bal lot. Thirteen veteo for Charles G Dawes, 19 for Herman L. Ekern oi Wisconsin and two for Hanford MacNider of Iowa prevented the registration of a solid vote for the Kansan in the beginning. Not a wdrd was raised in protest when the motion was made to have the con vention go on record en bloc for h'm. Curtis who until yesterday was a candidate for the presidency ap peared on the platform after he had been nominated thanked the con vention for selecting him, told the delegates that he had hoped to have the honors which went to Mr. Hoov er, praised President Coolidge and the secretary of commerce and pre dicted victory for the ticket in the autumn. He was generdusly ap plauded. The landslide to Curtis began out side the convention hall some time In the early morning hours, and whe n the convention met, it was a foregone conclusion that he would be named. Party leaders had been .lushing about from headquarters tc headquarters all night, feei ng out first one and then another, in an ef fort to single pn some one, satisfac tory to Mr. Hoover, who could be named without a cat and dog fight on the convention floor. The agri cultural question bulked large in the decision, although it was patent that a man from the Middle West would be chosen. Curtis voted for the McNary- Haugen b’H which President Cool idge vetoed but had refused to vote to override the veto of that measure. He had considered himself an ad mirable compromise candidate for the presidential nomination but the stampede to Hoover before the con vention evened dissipated any need for compromise. The vice presidential nominee, a veteran campaigner, was described by those who proposed him fer sec ond place on the ticket as a man close to agriculture, on which there has developed sharp difference of opinion within the Republican party. ... As in the case of Hoover’s nomi nation, the si de tc : Curtis began in the Pennsylvania delegation, which early today decided to cast its 79 votes for him. New York follow ed soon afterwards with its 90, and from that time until the opening of the convention one state after an other fell into line, and it was ap parent long before the ballot'ng be gan that the Kansan would be nam ed by an overwhelming majority, if not by a unanimous vote. Seeing the trend of affairs, many vice presidential candidates allow ed their booms to collapse quietly although several men were placed in nomination, only to be withdrawn subsequently in Curtis’ favor. Those whose names went before the con vention were John O. Tilson of Con necticut, Republican floor leader of the house; Governor Pullen of Mass achusetts; former Governor Charles M. Osboime of Michigan and Gover nor Sam Baker of Missouri. The session of the convent.on which nominated Curtis, went along in the same smooth manner that narked all of the meetings this week. Cha'rman Moses, after reading to the delegates a message cf greeting from Secretary Hoover, quickly shot 1 through the routine business dealing with national committee affairs and 1 brought the question of naming a vice presidential candidate before the gathering within an hour after he' ?»d rapped for order at convening time. >onator Borah iif Idaho presented the Kansan’s name in a brief address of tribute to Curtis’ party service, his honesty and his loyalty to those with whom he had been associated. Borah described his colleague as an admirable choice to face the fight with Hoover. Tilson was placed in nomination by Senator Bingham of Connecticut; B. Loring Young named Govemon Fuller; Representative Dyer repre sented Governor Baker, and Ira W. BORDEAUX NEWS » % Mr. and Mrs. Robert Perryman of Edgefield and Mr. and Mrs. N.

Bill. txt Should Be No Lay By In The Gardeti CLEMSON COLLEGE, June 19.— Although some folks have the idea that their gardens as well as field c^ops should be laid-by, A. E. Sch'l- letter, extension horticulturist here says one who lays-by the garden this summer will fail to have many, vege tables in fall and winter that may be easily grown. Mr. Schilletter says one can make a number of successive plantings throughout the season of the follow ing vegetables so long as the indi cated number of days are allowed fc: maturing before ficst: snap beans, 12-56 days; sugar eern, 50-70 days cabbage, 119-140 days; tomatoes 105 126 days; beets. 49-63 days; sweet potatoes, 133-140 days. By takin.. advantage of this opportunity, one ear. have each of these vegetables for a long petiqd. For fall Irish potatoes, Lockout Mountain is the. best variety, while Green Mountain, Peerless and Rural New Yorker probably are next best, says the horticulturist. If none of these varieties are available, small potatoes from the spring crop may even be planted. Fall potatoes may be planted during the last half of July ct first half of August. Great er Baltimore is a desirable tomato on wiltless land and Marglobe a good wilt-resistant variety.

Baker and Osborne were present and pe sonal-, ly withdrew their names in favor of Curtis. Among those who seconded Curtis was his daughter, Mrs. Leona Curtis Knight, a delegate, who took the stand on behalf of the Rhode Island delegation to pledge support to the KaUsan. She received perhaps the biggest ovation of the day. The convention adjourned in an apparently happy frame of mind, the delegates again being ready to cheer at the slightest provocation. But last night’s jubilation over the vic tory of Hoover apparently had dis sipated a good part of their pep, and there was no attempt to start any demonstrations that required the del egates to parade about the haH. Attack On Hoover By Democrat Unsavory Record Of Harding’s Cabinet Of Which Hoover Was A Member Revived WASHINGTON, June 15.—Repre scntatlve Oldfield, of Arkansas, as charman of the Democratic cong: es sional committee, fired the first shot of the presidential campaign at Her bert Hoover today. “If the Republican party is sat- Isified with Herbert Hoover as its candidate for the presidency certain ly Democrats have no reason to com plain,’ he began the Oldfield bar rage. “But Mr. Hoover’s nomination must be a bitter pill for old-line Re publicans like Senator Curtis, of Kansas; Watson, of Indiana; Low- den, of Illinois; Butler, of Massa chusetts; HI lies and Wadsworth, of New York, and others who, like them have been lighting the party’s bat tles for a quarter-century or more. “From early manhood until 1917 Mr. Hoover lived abroad. From 1917 until 1920, he was regarded as a Democrat. In 1920 he styled him self'as a n Independent. His con version to Republicanism was rapid ly being accomplished. In 1920, L he became a Republican, and during the few years of h’s Republicanism he has always been an officeholder. Certainly, in Mr. Hoover’s case, turning Republican has been profit able. I know of no man in cur his tory who has so quickly harvested such big dividends from his partisan ship. “But it must be a bitter dose for regular Republicans, who have borne their party banner all their lives, to have an eleventh-hour convert com- n ai d waltz oif with the prize chcr ry. However, if that is all r|gh with the Republicans, it certainly i .v th me. ^£ut there rs more at stake t$hat the pers-«..al.ty of the individual wh is to Income president. Fiom th Jay he became a candidate, Mr Hoover has not taken a positive stand on ary public question, excep we know that in the background he has oppoeed equality fer the farmer. It is the general opinion that he, more than any other individual, ha:- been respe‘rsible for defeating Ur effort to give agriculture a squar deal and the farmer a chance tc ge back on his feet and earn a living “On the Mississippi river flood control problem, Mr. Hoover accom plished a straddle as wide as the Mississippi at its mouth. On pro hibition his dodge was so successful that he has been applauded by bofcfc wets and drys. On corruption in elections and in public office, he has been as s lent as an Egyptian sphinx. Nevertheless, election crooks. “It is significant that when the Republican nomination was hang'ng in the balance, it was that he must be satisfactory to the , Pennsylvania bess, senator-i eject Vare, who line< up the Pennsylvania delegation an< 2r.vc Mr. Hoover the boost that pu l.Iin over. “It w.ll i c't be forgotten that M: Hoover became a Republican and en tered his office carer as a member cj the Hard.ng cab net in an adminir tration that disgraced America. H was the associate cf Albert Fall, o' Hairy Daugherty, of Will Hays am Edwi n Denby. He sat arour.d th< cabinet table with them at the very time Fail was haltering away t’v naval oil reserves in the worst scand il in the nation's life and at the very t’me Harry Daugherty wa mak’irg the department of justice a rendezvous for crooks and traitors. “If Mr. Hoover is the wise mar he has been made out to be, he is bound to have had some knowledge or at least some suspicion of what was goirg on. But in all the yean hat have passed, he has never lift 'd his vclce to utter or.c word o:' londemnation of the scandalous rec rd of the Harding admin’stration ►r -which he was -an important figure “Mi*. Hoover may by this time b a ‘good Republican,’ wholly satis Cactory to Will Hays, to Daugherty to Fall, to Rush Holland, Daugher ty’s ‘fixer,’ to Basccm Slemp and th*. others up who ‘rode herd’ on the bought-and-delivered negro delegate who helped to nominate him, but he has never been on the fight : ng line for honest government. “He may be a great engineer, but he certainly is no crusader. And he is objectionable to the thirty mill ion farmers and their 'families who by the platform the Republicans have adopted and the candidate they have named, have had notice served upon them that they can expect neither a : d nor even sympathetic consideration from that party under the Hoover leadership.” IXX In this day and age of supply and demand one of the most outstanding results of over production was the recest Mississippi River flood. Chevrolet Company Shatters Record Turned Out # 140,700 Units In May; New Level For Single Day 7,075 Finished Cars S. C WEEKLY INDUSTRIAL REVIEW i There Arc No Bronze Slain es And Trucks DETROIT, Mich., ’ June 19.—All previous production records in the sixteen yea: ; existence of the Chev rolet Motor Company were «nhatter- ed here in Mav when the company turned out 140.700 units. The output for a single day also reached a new level on May 28, when 7075 finished cars and trucks rolled off the assembly lines. These figures, released here today by W. S. Knudson, pres deni and gen eral manager, lent, substance to a growing feeling in automotive cir cles that Chevrolet would net (inly equal its 1927 volume of a million cars well before the close of 1928, but that it also would duplicate its 1927 performance of buildng and selling more cars than any other manufacturer in the world. Production df Bigger and Better 1928 models to June 1, was 651,500 units, Mr. Knudsen stated. He point ed out that this figure includes pro duction since the first of the year as well as 32,000 new cars built in December so that dealers in all parts of the country would have cars for immed,iatie( delivery When the new model was publicly announced on January 1. Up to June 1. last year the com pany had built 513,000 new models; in 1926, 326,000 units, and in 1925 less than one-third the volume ach ieved during the correspo-.u.i.g pc- od this year, accord ng to Mr. Knud- s~n. The output for the month just end id was 25,000 ur ts in excess of thr 115.000 cars and trucks bu It in Ma’ 1927. which until this year, had bee he largest production month in the Vst'ry of the company. In May 1926, the turn *ut was 74,000 un ts ar d in May of the previous yea.* 52, 000 units. The record set up last May wa; bettered by 2,000 u i ts during th< past February. March in turn wa 17,000 units ahead of February; an< Apr.l with a volume of 135.800 car and trucks exceeded the March per formance by 2,000 units. In view of the high May volume, and the schedule for June, Mr. Knud sen stated that by the middle of the year the number of new cars built would be well beyond the thx*ee- quarter inillich mark. All production operations of the company have been running at cap acity since early in the year, Mr. Knudsen said. He explained that the high May volume was made pos sible because several of the domestic plants have been expanded, and be cause a new assembly plant recently opened at Atlanta, Ga. to relieve th«. other fou: teen domestic manufactur ing operations got in its first lull mdnth’s production during May. Another new plant cf s milar s z to the one at Atlanta, recently an nounced for Kansas City to supplj the territory immediately North and West cf that city, with a capacity of 350 cars a day, will make pos sible even greater volume achieve ments in. the future, Mn. Knudsen asserted. “Mouth by month our sales organ ization is making incrcas ngly heavy demands uptu the production facili ties of the company to provide car: for immediate delivery in the do mestic market,” Mr. Knudsen said “More than 80 per cent of the May output was absorbed :n the United States alone despite the fact that the number of units going into the ex port field was g: eater than ever be fore. “We interpret this expansion in volume and salc s tc* a growing public conf:dence in us and our product. This is our greatest asset, and to the pftblic is due whatever credit may accrue from the new records now being established.” Mr. Knudsen stated that extra- o.'dinary achievements of his com pany may also be taken as a trade index of the country. “The automobile is a sensitive barometer df business conditions in every territory where it is marketed in quantity,” he said. “The fact that our sales have been consistently good in every area of the United States indicates the healthful pui* 1 - chasing power o»f the great mass of people. That means, of course, gen eral distribution of present wealth and a satisfactory future outlock.” X A train running a mile a minute, covers eighty-eight feet a second, but many motorists don’t begm tj cal culate the speed until it is too late.
