FORM BLOC TO OPPOSE SMITH IN CONVENTION South Expected to ‘Ride’ Enough Favorite Sons to Cause Deadlock. BY RAY TUCKER WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—'"The Democratic nomination for any office from constable to President won’t be worth a nickel in the North if A1 Smith is not nominateo for the presidency.” With this warning Senator Copeland, of New York, today served notice on southern politicians trying to block the New Yorker’s nomination that they were headed straight for a party smashup. “I, for one,” said Copeland, “will not run for the Senate again if Smith does not get the nomination. In the first place, it would be useless effort, for no Democrat could be elected. In the second place, it would mean that the Democratic party places bigotry before service and the national welfare.” Copeland said that at least half a dozen other Democratic Senators in the North and certain parts of the West would be doomed to defeat if the New York Governor were sacrificed to prejudice or a retaliatory movement by the drys. This last reference was obviously to the desperate effort launched against Smith by remnants of the McAdoo die-hard faction who are rallying southern delegations around Senator Walter F. George, of Georgia. With the latter’s consent, it is planned to enter him in every southern primary where there is not a favorite son. The George and favorite son delegates would constitute a bloc of 214’ votes against Smith. Through combination with other favorite son States and dry delegates, they hope to keep Smith from getting the necessary two-thirds vote. William G. McAdoo is taking no part in the movement, which is inspired chiefly by George Fort Milton, Chattanooga publisher, and John S. Cohen, Georgia national committeeman.

DOCTORS SHOW HOW TO WAKE UP WITHOUT COLD

Many Here End Head Cold and Chest Cold in Few Hours at Home by Hospital Method The pleasure of quick relief, a good night’s sleep and waking up the next morning without the misery and danger of a head cold, cough or chest cold. This, briefly, is the substance of reports, from hundreds of Indianapolis people who, like Mrs. W. H. Burnette, have found quick relief through a pleasant and inexpensive home method recommended by hospital physicians. Mrs. Burnette, for example, was treated for a severe cold which started in her nose passages and had spread down towards her lungs, causing fear of pneumonia. Doctors immediately prescribed double doses of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral—a concentrated mixture of wild cherry, terpin-hydrate and other ingredients which have relieved even the most extreme hospital cases. Relief began with the first pleasant swallow. She felt its comforting, healing warmth from her nasal passages deep down into her chest. In a few hours the cold had cleared up noticeably and that night she breathed freely and didn't cough once. In another

Heavy Damage in Ohio ”.•/ United Press CINCINNATI, Jan. 20.—A terrific wind storm, which smashed over a 200-mile zig-zag course in Ohio and Kentucky, today had accounted tor one death, injuries to between thirty and forty persons, and property damage which may amount to sl,000.000. At least a dozen cities were struck, including Louisville and Cincinnati. The storm was a freak, as it v r as neither a cyclone or a tornado. Weather forecasters described it as a “severe squall” which drove straight along the earth at a terrific rate. The one casualty was Richard Kruger, a salesman, who was killed at Washington Courthouse when the wind swept a pile of bricks into his motor car. But throughout the entire Miami valley there were reports of injuries. At the Central Hosoital here twenty persons had been received for treatments from injuries. Another fifteen or twenty persons were injured in Louisville. Hamilton, Ohio, reported several persons had been hurt there. The damage in Cincinnati alone is estimated at upward of $150,000 and reports from surrounding towns said considerable damage had been done. The storm seemed to be general over this section of the country and few towns escaped it.

CORDELL HULL TO MAKE RACE FOR PRESIDENT Tennessee Representative Is Given Indorsement of Home Delegation. By C. J. LILLEY WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—Representative Cordell Hull of Carthage, Tenn., today became a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President. A formal announcement in Hull’s behalf was made at noon by Tennessee Democrats in both branches of Congress, with Hull’s knowledge and consent. Hull is Democratic national committeeman from Tennessee and has refused to comment on developments in his own party. “It is too early to predict who will be nominated,” Hull has said repeatedly. After the recent committee meeting here, Hull advised several friends that he didn’t consider Smith’s strength sufficient to win the nomination. At the same time he authorized the announcement of his candidacy. The formal statement, issued through Representative Edwin L. Davis of Tennessee, is largely a summing up of Hull’s record. He was made chairman of the Democratic national committee in 1922. The announcement credits him with cutting down Republican majorities in both houses of Congress. Hull has served 20 years in Congress. He Is considered an expert on tax and tariff matters, and is looked upon as one of the leading Democratic strategists, both in Congress and in national politics. Hull was endorsed as a candidate !by the Tennessee delegation. He is j “the most suitable and logical man i for the Democratic nomination,” a statement by the delegation said.Irish Clief to Reach U. S. Today B;t United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 20.—President William T. Cosgrave, of the Irish Free State will arrive in New York today. He will be greeted by city officials.
