Bert Powell Pleads Guilty and Requir
ed To Pay Damages to Cars; Civil
Court Next Week May
Be Dropped
Convicted late Thursday of mnn
laughter. with a recommendation by
he jury’ for mercy. Cecil Carroll was
entenced in Vance Superior Court
oday by Judge Walter L. Small to
serve not less than four and not more
han six years in State Prison for the
laying of Claude Huffman at North
Henderson several months ago. The
ase occupied the entire day of court
Thursday, and earnest were
nade to th ecourt hy cr/insel today’
n behalf of the defendant.
Carroll happened at the Huffman
mme at a time when there appeared
ome differences of opinion • in the
lousehold about instructions to the
hildren. and ,in some way he was
'rawn into the argument. Some words
vere passed between him and Huff
nan and a scuffle ensued, during
vhtch the two men went to the floor,
n an effort to extricate himself, it
/as claimed. Carroll drew a knife and
atally slashed Huffman, who died a
hort while later.
Bert Powell was chaged in a trial
hat lasted most of the morning with
ransporting liquor and driving a car
/hile under the influence of liquor.
Vt the conclusion of a part of the
estimony a plea of guilty was en
ered. and on the drunken driving
harge the defendant was given eight
•aonths on the roads, commitment not
o issue except on the request of the
ollcltor in two years, not drive a car
n six months and pay a fine of SSO.
"or transporting, the judgment was }
ontinued for two years, provided ,
125 damage was paid to I. J. Young,
32 to A. J Watkins and $25 to Mrs.
A. Latta. all of whose cars were
amaged in the collision, and the de
endant was allowed until the October
erm of court to pay a SSO fine.
These cases cleared up the criminal
locket, and ended a day ahead of
ime a calendar which at the outset
arly in the week looked like a long
ug of war for the court. But sub
nissions were made in several homi
•ide ease* and a burglary case, which
iverted the necessity for long hear
ngs.
At a brief session of court this aft
ernoon. it was hoped that arrange
nents could be made to continue the
ntlre civil calendar set for next week,
nd eliminate that session of court en
irely It was understood this would
>e done if an agreement could be had
is to one case at issue.

Dramatic Moments of Democratic
Conventions I Have Attended
/or HALF A CENTURY By UREY WOODSON, Noted Political Figure
In 1896, the Democratic convention
was held again in Chicago, Senator
John W. Daniel, of Virginia, being
the temporary chairman and Senator
Stephen White, of California, perman
ent chairman.
When the crowd was assembling In
the convention hall In thf* World's
Fair district I discovered my friend,
William J. Bryan, of Nebraska, sit
ting on the platform. Bryan and I
first met when Bryan was in congress
a few years before.
Bryan beckoned me to sit with him.
Bryan inqme<jiately asking me
for tickets to the convention halt, say
ing he had many friends outdoors
who would not get in, because the
tickets for Nebraska had been given
lo the "gold” crowd fmnr that state,
headed by Sterling Morton. The
“gold” crowd had the regular creden
tials from Nebraska. Bryun said to me:
“I wouldn't be in here myself ex
cept for meeting Clark Horwell. of At
lanta. on ihe street, and h* gave me
two tirttets for Mrs Bryan and my
self.” .
Given Bryan Tickets
I gave Bryan a few tickets I had
left in my pocket and promised to get
h.m more at the first recess, but con
fess that I never did*. I'told Bryan
later if I had dreamed he would be
nominated for president I would have
dug up at leart 200 tickets for him!
Bryap asked me from whotn the
Kentucky delegates would" vote for
president. This was. before the con
vent lon 'was called to order. 1 re
plied that the Kervtucklahd were in
truded to vote for Senator Jo C. S.
Blackburn, of Kentucky, but that
Blackburn was not seriously a candi
date for president and after on* or two
ballots the Kentucky delegation would
probably vote for Richard P. Bland
of Missouri.

Independent Progressives
Not Apt To Have Entrant
If Roosevelt Is Nominee
By CHARLES P. STEWART
Washington, June 24—There will be
no independent progressive ticket if
the • Democrats nominee FrankMn D.
Roosevelt.
The drys, to be sure, may put up a
presidential candidate. He probably
will-he a progressive, in case they do.
Governor Gifford Plnchot of Pennsyl
vania is the possibility whose name
comes moat readily to mind. The drys’
policy will be to make a bid for pro
gressive as well as dry votes.
However, a third piarty aspirant, no
matter how advanced his views, will
not win the progressives' solid back
ing. with Roosevelt in tti« race.
The Progressive Democrats have
decided that the New Yorker is ac
ceptable to them.
They think he can be eleetd. Na
turally it would b poor judgment on
their part to desert him, even for the
sake of a little additional radicalism,
to support someone with no chance
whatever.
Progressive Republicans are not all
so unqualifiedly pro-Rooeevelt. Skep
tics among them voice a suspicion that
his progressive-ism is somewhat wishy
washy. Still, if so Individualistic a
group can be said to have a leader,
that leader is Senator George W.
Norris of Nebraska, and Senator Nor
ris is on record as prepared to bolt

never .get the nomination. J asked to
whom the nomination would go. Bry
an said:
“I expect to" be nominated myself for
president. ”
I was astounded that this youth of
36 years would make such a claim.
After scene further conversation I be
came satisfied tidal Bryan was in dead
ly earnest, although I could have little
flalth in Bryan’s candidacy at that,
time. I promised Bryan to canvass
the Kentucky delegation at the first
recess and see at least If I ouldn't ge (
him a few complimentary votes. I did
this, but found little encouragement.
The older men on the Kentucky dele
gation like Blackburn. Hardin,
Hoover for Roosevelt.
.Supposing, then, that Roosevelt is
nominated, half or more of the pro
gressives in both major parties either
will be whole-heartedly in his favor
or*at least willing to make the best of
him. Provided a progressive dry is
available maybe they will vote for
him. Otherwise they simply will hold
aloof from the presidential contest.
Anyway, there will not be enough of
them for an independent fight on a
national scale.
A Democratic choice of anyone ex
cept the New orker will present an en
tirely situation.
Then the progressives will be unit
ed —with, no place to go.
The G. O. P. convention could not
have been less to their liking. Ex
cept Roosevelt, they are well aware
that no candidate they approve has
the slightest prospect of being named
by the Democrats.
Progressive-ism not only is disin
clined on general principles to sit back
and do nothing: its expondenta are
distinctly fearful that a trend toward
fascism will develop from present
critical condition*, and feel it as a
heavy responsibility on them to com
bat it.
But how can they?—without a stand
ard bearer to rally around.
£et the disappoint them,

at th e suggestion of Bryan for the

Younger ones like Ollie James
(later U. S. senator), who was then
only 23, and for the first time in his
life outside the borders of Kentucky
suggested that k would be the part of
and there yet remains a chance, there
fore, on a third ticket before July is
over.
The time, It Is true, will be exceed
ingly short.
Nevertheless, the progressives are
capable of rapid work in an emerg

conference of a year ago last March o n
notice and made a decided suc
cess of it.

wisdom for the younger delegate to
follow the leadertfilp of th* older men
on the delegation. Jams at that time
had never met Bryan and knew haidly
aoytmng of him.
When I next met Bryan in the con
vention hall, I told him I had secured
the promise of seven or eight boys
lor him after the dropping of Black
burn. I explained, however, that the
Kentuckians were operating under the
unit rule and as there were 26 Ken
tucky delegates, he would have to get
at least 14 in order to obtain any sup
port from Kentucky.
Bryan’s Quarters
Bry*n said: “You will get them. I
am getting fine news from all over
the west and south. Come to my hotel
from time to time and let m* know
haw you are getting along.”
"Where are you staying?” I inquired
“At the Windsor-Clifton,” Bryan re
plied.
"Where is that?” I asked.
"On Monroe street, almost opposite
the ladles’ entrance of the Palmer
house," Bryan said.
“Why should you stop at a little,
cheap hash house if you are a candi
date for president?” I inquired. “Why
don’t you come over to the Palmer
house and get a parlor and open head
quarters, or go to the Auditorium An
nex where the great crowds are gath
ered?"
“Mrs. Bryan and I have a very nice
comfortable room at our hotel," said
Bryan. "Come to see us.”
On the third day of this convention
the "gold" delegates from Nebraska
were turned out and Bryan and his
“silver” delegates seated. Th* Ne
braska delegation marched into the
hall headd by a brass band, with Bry
an on thlr shoulders. They made a
triumphant march around the hall
amid some enthusiasm, but not a great
deal.
Seas Bryan’s Opportunity
But when the committee on platform
minority retorts, and it was announc
reported. bringing in majority and
ed there would be a debate o n the
adoption of the platform, with three
delegates speaking forth "gold” re
port and two for the ‘‘silver” report
(Bryan to get the closing speech), I
then began to wake up.
T was sitting on th* platform behind
the chairman, and wrote a note to
Bryan, who was then sitting with his
delegation on the floor of the con
vention sayjng: “Now I see your op
portunity. It means destiny. If you
