Senator Bob LaFollette, tho boy senator from Wisconsin, made a big hit at the convention and then got a good kick, just to show how much they really did appreciate him. Harry Leslie, republican candidate for governor has issued a statement in which he states his belief that Indiana will go republican next No- ' veniber. He at least hopes so, no 1 doubt. ’ I Get the old fish pole out and go to it. The exemption from this sport 1 closed at midnight and already hundreds of Waltonians have hied to the lakes and streams where the bass and 1 the blue gills abound. 1 "" Senator Watson made an effort to have the Hoover people accept /Albert 1 Vestal, congressman from this dis- * trict as the candidate for vice-presi- * dent and came as close to that as he ’ did stampeding the convention for f himself. 1 The republican convention pledged > itself to a clean campaign, '"hats fine i • : they mean it. There is no reason i why we should not discuss the caudi- ' dates and the issues in a sensible way i without a lot of “dirt." We hope < they keep the pledge. 1 Here's the way Brisbane puts it i and its plain enough for most any one 1 to understand: 1 “The Republican platform will ac- < cept Senator Borah s proposal, "Rigid dry enforcement,” which means exactly nothing. We are supposed to , have strict enforcement now. Actually. "Rigid dry enforcement’’ means rigid collecting of bribe money.” Congratulations to Rev. O. E. Miller, pastor of the Decatur Baptist church who has concluded twenty years in the ministry. Rev. Miller is not only a splendid minister, conscientous and hard working but a genuinely good citizen, a booster and a real man. He is popular here and we hope he continues to serve in this community many years. When Mr. Hoover received the news that he had been nominated, he smiled good naturally, said good night to the friends who had gathered and went to bed as though nothing had happened. It beats the dickens how these fellows can do that while a lot of others who won't even have a chance at the postoffice even if their favorite wins, jell themselves sick. The republican state chairman of Indiana will now explain just what he meant when he expressed the belief in Kansas City last Monday" that if Mr. Hoover was nominated, this state will go democratic next November Others agree' with him but are surprised that he should express himself so early it the campaign. It will make his predictions just prior to the election sound somewhat silly. President Coolidge just didn't seem to care a hang about the Kansas City convention. Just when it got the warmest he turned his face into the cool woods of Wisconsin, more, interested in hearing about the size, quality and number of flab being caught in the Brule sectiom this summer

than in who may take hla place in the White House. Ho always was a cool gent. Kentucky'! twenty-six delegates were instructed to vote for Governor Al Smith this week after an old-fash-ioned "blue grass" convention in which there were several list fights. The scraps however were not because of the presidential sentiment but grew out of the election last tall when Ex-Senator Beckham was the only man defeated on the democratic ticket after his campaign opposing betting on horse races, and creating hot factions. Senator Curtis was nominated apparently to appease those who felt that a slap had been taken at the middle west or farming section of the country but we doubt if that fact will change many votes. Four years ago Mr. Dawes was named for the vicepreseidency for the same reason and while he favored farm legislation he could not aid in the fight, nor will Senator Curtis be able to do so. Mr. Hoover was nominated on a platform adverse which is the main thing. As the campaign opens it is well for everyone to remember its importance, to think seriously, to guard against misleading propaganda and to avoid viciousness. We are about to elect a president and vice-president, a congress and senate, state and county officials, who will have much to do with your welfare the next four years. You should consider carefully the candidates, what they stand for and what will be the results to the future. There have been few elections in many years more important than that now approaching. W■ ■ » There is joy in the camps of the Hoover and Curtis adherents because of their nomination but its a little early to celebrate. The democrats will nominate a strong ticket week after next and will adopt a platform designed to appeal to the-voters. Then will come a quiet of several weeks and then a campaign of six or eight weeks, during all of which time the people will be thinking seriously. The farmers of the middle west i:e not so jubiLnt surely over the nominations and there is nothing particularly inviting about it for the east. No one can tell you just at this time what the result wil be but it is quite likely that between this time and November there will be numerous changes of minds. o * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * »¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥».
