The farmers are busy and si e. doing their full share towards meet , ing the demand for foodstuffs. _ — The three-man convention in Chi a , go will soon be over and then on June , 28th at San Francisco the people, will hold their meeting. It's a great jump, from a convention controlled by three men to one where every delegate has a voice. Smile and work. It's the best remedy in the world for those who are discouraged and it beats complaining and fault-finding a thousand wavs. It will give you more money, greater savings and reduce the cost of living in a short time. The republicans favor an International Peace Concert which is just a different name for a league of nations. In other words the men in control of the g. o. p. convention do not propose to give Wilson any credit for thq thing they propose to do. A great game, this politics. i ' — In the meantime voters of Indiana should remember that the biggest is * sue in this state at the next election will be the tax law. The democrats are pledged to its repeal while the republicans admit they will only make slight changes. You are paying the bill and getting nothing in return. Mr. Voter. The investigation of presidential campaign expenditures will end now that the republican convention is on. It never was on the square. The sen ators did not care how much was spent, but the investigation was for the sole purpose of injuring certain candidates and aiding others. The people paid the bill on another political scheme.

They are putting over just what 'they want and making the delegates j think they have something to do with , it. Somewhere the system is rotten ' for the people of this free country ' and they have about as much voice as j they have in the down trodden mon archial nations, so loudly and so frequently talked about and pitied. Os course the coal, paper, sugar situation should be changed and the government is making every effort to do this. The trouble is that in too many cases brokers gamble with the ptod nets, control the entire output and fix’ their own prices. The sugar manufacturer for instance received 12 cqnus per pound, maximum, yet the wholesale price now is twice that. These things must end, and will be stopped for there is no defense. The town of Berne needs a new macadam road and expected to get it during the year.

Os all the unfair rules and laws of the recent legislature, this .is the most unjust. The democrats promise a law which will make thir i license a. local fund for local use

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, FRIDAY, JUNE 11. 1920.

I solely. I It is rumored that between this time and election the present prosperous times are to be checked by the closing of many great industries. Thia will throw many men out of employment and with the present high tost of living they will be in better attitude to accept the statements of the political leaders. We believe, however, that the average working man will see jthe confidence game and vote against the powers that so boldly attempt to [destroy the present prosperous conditions. When wages are loweicd. everything else will drop with it. H's , a question of whether or not you wish , to make hard times or let well enough . alone. Senator Beveridge has been nicely ( 'gagged'’ in the big convention. It ( has beeu known for days that the ! noted Hoosier orator has had a speech ready that it was proclaimed by many . would stampede the convention and might nominate him. Rules have been adopted, however, that will prevent him from springing it, at least at the proper moment and the delegates, wax figures, in the hands of Watson as whip for Lodge will dance to the tune. Even Johnson and Borah are ► being given a nice trimming and made to like it. It’s a sorry day for this country when three or four astute politicians control with an iron hand. Be assured if they win, you will pay the bill with high interest. The steam roller being used by the old guard in Chicago looks like a Pack ard compared to a Ford as between now and the famous 1912 convention. With Penrose. Lodge and Watson in control they are running things in the most high-handed manner ever known though they have the machine greased better than before. They choked Beveridge off. submitted to Johnson and Borah and took every method to prevent speeches on the floor. They have limited seconding speeches and will take no chances on a stampede. Watch out for Sproul or some other dark horse candidate who they have lined up for the job and who you can bet your last cent, is absolutely under their thumb. They will try to whisk the convention, though now to a sorry end. Nomination May be .51ade Tonight (Continued from page one) burg could begin. Rodenburg in a calm, distortionatc fashion, his finger tips placed together, describing the conditions of unrest which he said existed in the country, finally began, using a few jestures, but they were restrained, and he appeared reserved in contrast with the vigorous emphatic demeanor of Governor Allen and Mrs. Robinson who proceeded him. Upon the conclusion of Rodenburg's speech the delegates’ section was suddenly filled with large posters bearing Lowden's picture. Many women were in line. Their shrill cheer mingled with the deepe, voices of the men. The delegates that I were not marching stood up in their seats watching. As they marched, the uowdens were busy recruiting. “First ballot!” They yelled in the ears of their delegates whom they en ' countered along the way. Murray Crane, member of the olt' guard, predicted there would be fev ba 11 ots. During the Lowden demonstratio; it was learned that it is present inter tions of the convention officials tr keep the convention in continuous set sion until a nominee is chosen. Charles Wheeler of California, pu' in nomination the name of Hiram Johnson. The preliminary mention o Johnson’s name brought forth only : very modest short lived cheer. At the outset, Wheeler’s speech wa‘ quitly received several, of his passing in silence. A quotation from Lincoln, “govern ment of the people, for the people an-' by the people." got the first applausfor Wheeler, but the crowd was slowly warming up. At 10:0 Chairman Lodge declared the convention open for nomination. The roll of states hogan. Alabama passed and Arizona yielded to Kansas. There was a great burst of cheering at this, several large flags were pro.duced and waved. i I “The state of Kansas!" again cried Lodge. | Governor Allen came forward to (Continued on column five, this page)

Nomination May be Made Tonight ■— (Continued from column 3, this pas* l nominate General Wood. He Hiei'ed a yell of applause, then there was « general call for silence and Allen swung into his address. Allen presented Wood's case like s man engaged in a vigorous argument with nil invisible opponent. There was enthusiasm in his every gesture and ho cut right into the applau*-’. not waiting for it to subside, in his eagerness to tell the delegatee why Wood should be the republican nom inee. Allen held his glasses in his right hand, his manuscript in his left and gesticulated with both. The first mention of General Wood s name passed almost unnoticed in the text of a letter praising him. It was mentioned by Allen twice more in the next minute, and each time there wa a burst of applause, each a little lend er than the one before. As Allen read Rooselevt's praise of Wood, cheering broke out and contin tied until he motioned for silence. The cheering seemed to be generally dis turbed among all the delegates hut It did not involve all of them by any means. Many sat silent. The perspiration streamed down Allen's face, his voice grew husky, but he waxed more enthusiastic as he talked. There was a lot of gaveling before Chairman Lodge could bring the con vention to order. His hammering continued for a full minute before his voice could be heard. The Rev. Johnston Meyer of Chi cago delivered the invocation. The session got away to a good start although half an hour late. Lodge first asked for order at 9:55: at 9:59 the crowd was quiet, and at 10 a. in the chaplain was in the midst of his prayer. He prayed that the repuhti can platform might please the Al mighty and that the choice of the convention for president might also be the choice of God. After the prayer, Chairman Lodge recognized H. Hampton Moore L>f Pennsylvania, who offered a resolution. The resolution provided that the convention record its sense of "inexpressible lose” in the death of Theodore Roosevelt. The reading was gret ed with applause. The cheer continued, so Lodge could not put the question. The noise died down and broke out again The resolution was adopted by a rit ing vote. “How long do you think the p: esent hardships will last abroad?" was' asked of C. W. Barron, noted ecor. omist. “Until the has '-arnedi its lesson.” was the reply; "the world , has not had its lesson of the war yet. , Ashbaucher’s FURNACES LIGHTNING RODS SPOUTING * SLATE ROOFING PHONE 765 or 739
