"It's McAdoo. first, last and al-

With these words Homer 5. Cum~
filings. former National Democratic
Chairman. last night gave his
opinion on the outcome of the race
for the Presidential nomination.
which has become clouded by the
Teapot Dome investigation.
Just back from Chicago. where
he delivered the keynote speech at
a meeting of prominent Democrats
from all- parts of the country at
which a “demand" was made upon
McAdoo to accept the leadership of
his party, Mr. Cummings said that
in his opinion the oil scandal has
left the former Secretary of the
Treasuary untouched.
To still rumors which continue
to circulate in Democratic circles
that he is a logical candidate for
the nomination. Mr. Cummings last
night reiterated his former declara-
tion that he does not. seek the

WASHINGTON. Feb. £0.—-J.n
Washington they aré betting on
Coolidge and Ralstcn.
There is a well founded belief
around the capital that Calvin Cool-
idge will win the Republican nomi-
nation for the Presidency on the
first ballot. and that the Demo--
cratlc nomination. after some in-
tricate maneovers, will be deposit—
ed upon the broad shoulders’of
Samuel M. Ralston. senator from
Indiana.

As- Strongest Democratic Hope
Samuel n1. itaiston
First, Last and Always,” Says Cum-
his Statement that he
is not Candidate for Democratic Nomina-
entirely. But a lot of prominent
Democrats connected with the organ
ization believe that he has been scr-
iously compromised in the eyes of
the voters by his connection with
the oil lease cases. and that this is
the year of all years when the
Democrats must have a nominee
without any weak sides.
Needed Money
McAdoo's friends insist that the
disrlostires'will not hurt him: As
one of them said. "\V'hen McAdao
’left ills office he said he was a poor
man and needed money. lie had a.
right to take it, so long as it was
not for anything crooked. and no—
body has connected him with crook-
ed work for Dolwny. If he comes
out of of tlzis mess all right he will
be strong. Railway labor is for him.
and some of the big lenders are
friendly."
But there is no assurance that
railway labor is for him. One high
ofilcial of one of the largest unions
is quoted as saying that the oil dis-
closures have hurt )chtloo with the
men. . ‘
ltniston was elected senator from
Indiana in 1922 after having serv-
ed as governor. He restored the
state to the Democratic column in
a Republican year. A notable rec-
ord as governor is given as the
reason. lie look other: with the state
in debt and left it with a big sur-
plus. llis methods Were not followed

“Be careful! You didn't knock
me down that time," the “Old Stan—
dard." under the W'ashington street
railroad bridge shouted. as a. passing
autolst struck it yesterday afternoon
and shoved it along the street. but
failed to knock it over.‘
"I am determined to keep my feet
until that new Standard comes to
take my place." said the traffic
guide to' his bosom friend Frank
Stratton. who rushed out into the
street to pick up the pieces. but all
that Frank had to do was roll the
“Old Bird" back into place.
In telling his troubless to a Sen-
tinel reporter and Officer Stratton.
the “Old Standard" said:
“I expect to have a great deal of
trouble in keeping from hitting the
pavement but I am on the alert and
watch every automobile that passes
this spot. When I saw that fellow
was going to land on me just now I
braced myself and‘ slid along the
pavement. In other words I fooled
him.
“There comes Chief Pennington
down the street, he has picked me
up several times. when I was down
but not out. Bill is one of my
friends. He is the one that always
sent me down to Tilley’s Shop. to
get repaired and he is the one that
ordered this new cost of paint put
on me.
"There is some talk of forming a
Watch Committee. to see that I am
always on my feet during the re-
mainder of the time that I am in
the service under the bridge. They
have mentioned you as Chairman of
the Committee," be said, turning to
Officer Stratton. “The plan is to
have someone keep an eye on me and
see that I am not rolling around in
the street. Frankie Fay. Councilman

“There goes Attorney Freeman

his. ‘ That is some car and Freeman
takes good care of it. He is always
careful when he goes around the
corner. not to knock me down; That
is more than I can say for~some
people. All of the lawyers are buy-

ONE AGAINST
Clin ton B.Rowland
Rowland Calls Move
. Senseless— Commit-
tees are Appointed
The Joint School committee at a
meeting held last night in the Senior
High school. voted to recommend to
the Common Council the put-chm of
Third District site for the proposed
new Junior High. This site is lo-
cated directly south of the present
Fitch school and was practically ap-
proved at the last meeting of the
Common Council. A special meeting
of the latter body will be called to
formally pass upon the recommen-
dation early next week.
While the meeting ’of the Joint
School committee lasted nearly two
hours. the discussion, for the most
part. was given over to minor de-
tails of the school building program.
Clinton B. Rowland. one of the
members of the committee and a
member of the Board of Education.
registered his disapproval of the
Third District site for the Junior
High.
“1 think it is a perfectly senseless
thing t9 build the Junior High in
East:Norwalk." said Mr. Rowland.
"And I am not talking sectionalism.
It is a. disgrace that the school board
is allowing the site to be located in
that. district when the real over-
crowded conditions are in the Second
Dist-i: ct I wan. t the secretary to
register mesa a-non-cusormilt to
{Bipart of the program."
Douglas E. Nash. president of the
Board of Education and Superinten-
dent of Schools G. V. Buchanan. de-
clared that the over-crowded condi-
tions would be relieved in the Sec-
ond District by the construction of
four additional rooms to the Wash-
ington school and by retaining the
five rooms in the Putnam school and
St. Joseph's Parochial school which
the city is renting at the present
time. ‘
The one important thing decided
at the meeting was that detail work
was to be left‘to committees. Work-
ing along this line. Mr. Nash appoint-
ed Councilman Albert M. Pohlman‘
and Alex J. Rummler a committee
to inspect the Third District site and
to find the best location for the new
Junior High. Councilman Michael
J. Riordan and Attorney Jesse T.
Dunbar were appointed a committee
to fix the form of the contract to be
signed by the city and the architects
who are to build the schools. -.
Alex J. Rummler, Dr. George G.
Fawcett and Attorney Jew T. Dun-
bar were appointed a. committee to
examine the plans for the new school
,buildings and eliminate undesirable
features and include desirable fea-
tures. This committee will do most
of the detail work reporting back
to the Joint committee.
Frank H. Bissell was unanimously
chosen architect for the Junior High
school and for the proposed addition
immediately after the meeting.
The last thing to be taken up at. the
meeting by members of the Board of
to the Washington school. Mr. Bis-
sell. who lives in Norwalk, was ori-
ginally appointed, architect for the
twenty—room Junior High which had
been planned for the Second Dis-
trict. The committee on contracts
held a conference with Mr. Bisseli
Education was the matter of insur-
ance of the Putnam school. Mr.
Nash told board members that $1.-
200 of insurance of the building had
expired and that the building was
only insured for $2.800. He said
that the insurance should be in-
creased to at least $5,000. Mayor
Thomas Robins declared that the
Second District should pay for the
insurance inasmuch as the building
WIS 0““ by the district and only
rented by the city. Mr. Nash sug-
gested thatifthiswasthecasethg
rental for theeplace would probably
be increased. The matter was final-
iy left in the hands of Mr. Nash tox-
action. ,
