And now me must endure another "Mary of the Vine Clad” campaign, and added to this will be attacks by Freddie Landis of Bandit Speech” fame. With these opposed by Fairbanks, Watson and Kealing, and the democratic orators, like Marshall, Kern, Bryan and the others, we should not miss the Old Home Week greatly. There will be plenty doing this October. The scramble for the nominations at the Roosevelt convention yesterday did not signify that anyone there expected to win. Had they' done so, there would have been hot contests, but there, was not one. The regular republican convention next week, promises to be no more exciting. Pin yc-ir faith on Samuel Ralston and the other able men on the democratic j ticket. They will be elected by a j larger majority than was ever known in this state. An interview in the Journal-Gazette read as follows. “Fred Falk, until eleven years ago a prominent resident of Decatur, and who has since become ■■ prominent business man at Jonesboro, Ark., arrived in Ft. Wavne j last evening. He will leave this morning for Decatur to make a brief visit * with friends and relatives. According to Mr. Falk about the only Taft republicans in his state are postmaster-. ’There is considerable sentiment for Roosevelt in Arkansas,' stated Mr. Falk, 'but Wilson will undoubtedly carry the state with a great majority.' Mr. Falk is engaged in the manufacture of vehicle wood stock.’ REAL ESTATE DEALS. The I). N. Erwin real estate agency is a hustling place these days, he having dis]>osed of three deals within a day or so. The last to change hands was the Ed W.

As A Fertilizer CONTF.LKL FROM PAGE ,’NE theoretical reasons why the powder should not make a good fertilizer they would rather some one else would use it. Doctor True, of the experiment station, also refused the powder, saying he was not raising crops that way. The Indian Head authorities, however, were not taken back by these refusals to convert an implement of war into an agricultural use, so they poured water on the grounds upon the powder and worked the concoction upon the truck patch on the proving grounds and they say the result has been beyond expectations. The garden truck was the best imagI inable. It is said that the plan is now being tried on a larger scale than before, but nevertheless there are some skeptics left and they say they will remain unconvinced until they see lawns watered with the powder and remain intact in their greenness after some cigarette stump shall have lighted upon it. o Say Nice Things (Continued from Page 1) ities so that they may assert themselves, so far as is constitutionally possible, in the struggle with the federal power for the mastery of what has been called the ’twilight zone’ between national and federal legis-la-tion.” The governor’s nomination has won unusual favor with the newspapers of New York. The New York Times takes the. position that the Indiana man would have been nominated for the presidency bad he made an aggressive fight. The Times, in part, says: “It may be said with entire respect to Governor Wilson that, had Governor Marshall deemed it his duty to go before the people of his country as freely, he would have impressed them to such a degree that the deadlock in the convention might have resulted differently. Governor Marshall undoubtedly represents the sober and intelligent democratic view of the affairs of the nation. His nomination strengthens the ticket. We trust that he will be enabled to take a prominent part in the campaign." The New York Sun says in paprt: “Mr Marshall has been a dutiful and industrious governor of Indiana, but his critics say that he is too easy going and that there is very little fight I in him, which may be another way of saying that he is not a fussy reformer and does not play to the galleries, for he has shown plenty of civic courage on occasions.” The New' York World says: 'The same democratic common sense that triumphed in the nomination of Woodrow Wilson selected Thomas Riley Marshall, another man of sound political character and statesmanly qualifications of no mean order. Unlike most vice presidential candidates, Marshall emphatically I adds to rather than detracts from the j strength of the ticket." The words of commendation fori Governor Marshall by the metropoli- i tan editors of the east are no morel glowing than the kindly expressions from the west The Chicago Record-1 Herald says: “The democrats were unusually rich • in vice presidential timber this year * but in nominating Governor Marshall of Indiana they made a wise selection. The Indiana executive is a little less radical than Governor Wilson, but he is undoubtedly a genuine progressive. He is a man of ability, discretion and independence. Let us hope the Baltimore convention has established a new precedent and the talked of ‘vice presidential revival’ will prove a fact with or for all parties.’ One of the most striking editorials in behalf of the governor is in the columns of the Cleveland Leader, edited by Nat C. Wright, formerly editor of the Indianapolis Sentinel.. After leaving Indianapolis, Mr. Wright became allied wdth Dan R. Hanna ot Cleveland and has been fighting TaU in the Leader and the Toledo Blade which he controls. The Leader says; “If the country should be called upon to take Governor Marshall for president, in an emergency, he could be relied upon to do his duty intelligently and earnestly. He would not | shirk and he would not be rash or foolish in any sense.” The Springfield Republican makes a striking comparison between Msrshall and Sherman. This paper says in part: “The contrast between Marshall and Sherman speaks for itself'. Sheffinnu

Governe’.’ Marshal'., on the other hand, brings to Governor Wilson the added strength of bis own popularity in Indiana, an important slate which Mr. Taft carried Ly only a narrow' margin four years ago, and which should without further question be counted in the democratic column as a result of putting Governor Marshall on the ticket.” The view of the southern newspapers is expressed' by the fellow: ic utterances: Th- Savannah News says: The democrats ac'ed wisely -n naming for vice president a man of presidential size."
