He is known as a man who can swear by note and who does it on the least provocation. ♦ ★ ★ ♦ Janies E. Watson “also ran” at the Cleveland convention and his smooth efforts to secure the endorsement of the Indiana convention went for naught. When his name was placed before the convention there was much noise, evidently pre-arranged but when the vote was taken the Hoosier statesman failed to regis-’ ter. His friends seemed helpless outside of Indiana. What went wrong? i * * * * ' i Friday, the thirteenth. If you can get past this day you need| not fear the “hoodoos.” The republicans in national convention at 1 Cleveland rushed things through yesterday and adjourned just I' ahead of the hour which marked the coming day supposed to lie so, ill-fated. Os course the only thing there is to such imaginary h;(rd , luck standards is the effect on the mind hut the average American < is silly enough to believe a lot in good and bad luck. t * « * * Wisconsin stood pat throughout the convention, the dclcga- ! lion from that state hissing the name of Coolidge and voting against Dawes for vice-president. They will support LaFollette; if he becomes a candidate on a third party ticket as he is being 1 urged. The campaign will soon be on. The democrats can win if* they will select their strongest ticket at New York week after next and adopt a platform that will have the confidence of the people. ; 1 he republican platform is conservative, standing for the old republican principles and favoring the great business interests to the exclusion of the business man and laborer. • * * * Use G. E. motors, insist that the devices you buy are so equipped. It means much for the community and it means considerable for the company which is helping to make this a good town. During the past three or four year many localities have suffered from depression. They feel it right now and they will feel it more perhaps during the next year or two. Not so here where the factories are operating full time and increasing outputs. The way to help that condition along is to boost for your local concerns. It’s a right spirit and it helps all around. Let’s do it. * * * * The Home Builders* Association .is liquidating and will very probably go out of business, a fact which causes much regret. It was organized for the purpose of building homes for those desiring them in Decatur. We believe that if a similar company would build motk rate priced’homes and sell them on contracts a large number of buyers would he interested. The Home Builders have several good properties and a large numlier of exclient building lots and an opportunity is at hand for those interested to purchase these at bargains and indications arc that when these arc gone there will be no further activity along this line unless another company can be organized. * * * * • "Hell and Maria” Dawes took the iob as a candidate for vicepresident after Lowden, Hoover, Boran and several others had declined it. some of them in a most determined way. The convention al Cleveland nominated Lowden on the second ballot and then went into confusion liecause he had notified them he would not acw. cept. After wiring and telephoning for a couple of hours, the convention proceeded to name Mr. Dawes of Chicago. It was the only break of excitement in the convention which had lieen carefully planned at Washington. The selection of Mr. Dawes, however, was not on the program nnd was a revolt against the man-| agement of William M. Butler, manager for Mr. Coolidge, who ran everything else. Well, anyway the ticket is Coolidge and Dawes and the slogan will probably be "Keep cool, Hell and Maria.” * * * • Mr. Francis and Mr. Barnes of the General Electric company addressed the Rotarians here last evening anef increased their popularity with Decatur folks. Through these men and their associate!* this city secured the G. E. plant and the Decatur Castings Company ,two industrial concerns which any community could feel proud to claim and their talks last evening were optimistic us to the future. They said the pay rolls at this time total about six hundred thousand dollars a year and when the total output of the motor factory reaches 8,000 per week as is hoped for soon, the pay roll will cxc«*ed a million dollars a year. At this'time the output is 5.000 a week. One point brought out by the men and one which is most important is the fact that out of about thirty-five devices which use small motors and sold here, but nine have General Electric motors. Every local business man who i ells such devices as sweepers, washing machines and other articles should insist on them being equipped with G. E. motors. This does not only help them liecause of the small increase of ;ales here but means much because of the increase in the larger field. Help those industries we have here. That’s the very best way to help a community.

Flashlights of Famous People

Face to Face \With Frederick H. Gillett Speaker of the House of Representatives (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) High up in the Spealser’a chair, Frederick Huntington Gillett Is a conspicuous figure in American affairs Although the position is shorn of some of the power of early days, the Speaker of Ihe House of Representatives of the I'. 8.

& I L. 'rfe i t ■ t w 1 I ’ , ; U < FREDERICK H. GILLETT says: “A career in Congress is a great distinction, especially with a constituency that will let you live with your convictions and conscience, as mine have done.” — ■ ■ ice as Senator from Massachusetts. I Popular among his colleagues in the House from the time he first answered the roll call. Speaker Gillett has bean a conscientious, plodding, levelheaded worker. Few men are more familiar with the ins and outs of Congressional and governmental procedure. Whether in the Speaker’s office behind, a large flat desk covered with papers, or in the chair with a mace beside hint. Speaker Gillett wears hi* honors easily, as a practir <-ai, hatd-hepded Yankee ever seeking information and facts. One the trip to Alaskd he was one of the few in n who made the long trip over the Richardson Tiail like a real "sourdough.” His speech in Alaska were the same I sort that have made h's constituents [ in Massachusetts und -a stand that he i is a man who understood what he ' was talking about and know:; how to .xpres hbiis-K. Small in sta'ure, hut big in brain. , Speakt r Gillett is one of the f< w members of Congress who wears a full beard. Ills broad “r»” a?d New England accent indicate something < f , Puritan reserve, well fended with the geniality that is nee-i ary a I successful political career. His gray ryes sparkle with the Intell pence of a man who has learned by living and doinr tb'DKj as well as through books. Aft'r reading some letters re< etitly from his constituents, he remarked: "A career in Congress is a great di-t nction. especially with a conati- - tuency that will let you live with your convictions and conscience, as , mine have done.” • ** I
