Alonzo F. Workman wants the democrats to nominate him for president. “I choose to run for president in 1928,” he said in a telegram to the democratic national committee in Washington. Workman plans to get his name on the ballots of all states having presidential preference primaries. The mi er desires to go to the White House because he believes that “the presidency of the United States is a spiritual office.” Besides filling a pulpit, Mr. Workman also operates two farms. eastern standard time this morning, eight hours after his take-off, he should have been over Jackson, Miss., if he followed the Florida coast line, or about half way between Jackson and Little Rock, Ark., if he changed his plans and flew straight across the gulf from Key West to New Orleans. This is figuring on a speed of approximate- ly 100 miles an hour. All coastal towns reported fog and low visibility and flyers saw in this the reason for Lindbergh's progress not being visible from the ground. They agreed that, to es- cape the fog, he would unquestion. ably have flown much higher than is his custom, and suggested that if, from the height he attained, he saw that the fog was hugging the coast, he might well have decided to cut across the gulf, continuing at a high titude after getting over land again.
