There are 1 arguments in favor cf this and other arguments against it but here in Huntington the best results have been obtained by the lake training method.

I Kendallville Veterans Gone , "According to an announcement ! made this week by high school coach. Aubrey Stanley, who was in the city for a few days, looking after the wellbeing of his atMetes, the Kendallville high school Red Devils’ football squad will start intensive training within the next ten days, in preparation for the coming season.

"Tack” Prentice, and other mainstays who will lie out of school this year. Practically every member of the high school squad has had possession of a football this summer, and considerable time has been I spent in passing, kicking and handling the bail. With a good smooth gridiron at the Fair ground field to play on, the local team faces another chance to place well up in confeience standing this year. Last year, Stanley's Red Devils let the N. E. H. S. A A until the final game, which was won by Bluffton". —Kendallville News-Sun. So much for football. But it won’t be long now!

Miss Betty McQuerry. Tipton. also in the car, was only slightly hurt. Southern Editors Predict Smith Victory In South (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) believed it unnecessary. Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, who is a member of the national advisory committee. will have general charge of this campaign to get out the stay-at-home vote. Reports gathqfed by the United i Press show the type of campaign that i t southern leaders are going tit make j Ito keep the south solidly behind the Democratic nominee. They are going to emphasize these issues: 1. White domination in the south. . 2. Alleged sale of office by Repub-| lican negroes, resulting in indict-1 : ments in Mississippi. 3. "Republican corruption,” such las the Teapot Dome oil case.’ And the following two expressions sum up the type of appeal that will be made to southern voters: "I shall support the Democratic nominees because I am a Democrat and a white man,” said former Senator John Sharp Williams cf Mississippi. "If the Democratic party be now overthrown, then the overthrow of white supremacy will inevitably follow," said . former Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia. Herbert Hoover’s order as secretary of commerce distributing a fewnegro workers among the white personnel in,the census bureau at Washington after he had received a protest against "segregation," which is forbidden in government departments, has "been used already and will be used more in the campaign in the south. A significant and enlightening view of the situation was given the United Press by *larry M. Ayers, editor of the Anniston, Ala., Star, and a political leader in Alabama. Ayers said: “4t is a well know-n fact in Alabama that the writer is a member of the platform committee of the convention at Houston and publisher of the Anniston Star, did everything in his power to prevent (he nomination of Governor Smith. "However, the Star believes that the interests of this section of the country will be best served by a change in party rule and accordingly will support Governor Smith in spite of our differences with him on the question of prohibition. “But for Mr. Hoover’s injection of the racial issue in the campaign, and but for the anti-lynch law plank in the Republican platform, it is believed that Mr. Hoover could secure a much larger vote in the south than he seems assured of at the present time. Undoubtedly there will be some defection from the Democratic party ranks on account of Smith's prohibition views and as a consequence of religious prejudice. "However, it is not believed that this will be sufficient to afreet the electoral vote and that the south will continue solid in so far as the Democratic party is concerned. Recent revelations of corruption within the Republican party in southern states will contribute materially to that end.” Josephus Daniels of North Carolina former secretary of the navy and a

I leader of the "dry" forces In the Houston convention, says he believes southern Democrats will mobilize to elect dry members to congress and will vote for Smith because his record 'ns governor of New York gives promise of an efficient administration of national affairs. "1 think the well-posted southern (people tire getting very much disgusted and weary beyond fatigue ot the continued reiteration of the falsehood promulgated by people In the cities that the opposition to Governor Smith's nomination in the south was , bused upon prejudice.” Daniels told , the United Press. "Nearly all of it was and is based , upon his part In securing the repeal . of the Mullen-Gage enforcement ait ‘ and his attitude against prohibition. , This was accentuated by his telegram to the Houston convention and by , the election of Raskob as natoinal chairman. who calls prohibition , 'damnable.' "I do not think anybody can say with Accuracy what the south will do , in this campaign. Very many Democrats are not inclined to vote for Mr. Smith. Comparatively few of them will vote for Hoover liecause of his connection with the administration which was the crookedest in the history of the country and he . never opened his mouth against the i conspiracy of corruption anil because * if he ever had an opinion about pro ’ hihition and its enforcement nobody ever knew it until he became a candidate for the presidency. “It wil) be hard to induce prohibitionists to he enthusiastic for a man who has shown no interest in a cause that is very, dear to them. "There are two moral issues in this campaign. One is whether the party ■ guilty of the crimes of Teapot Dome and other naval oil reserves, corrupt- 1 ing the ballot, buying senatorial togas | and stealing what belonged to the veterans and aliens shall be forgiven their offenses. “The attitude of must Hshrshrhh | "And the other is the prohibition question. 1 believe that the consciences of most of the dry Democrats in the. south in the .dilemma (hat confronts them will not permit them to vote for Hoover because to do so would lie to condone the policy of favoritism and graft, one or both of which has characterized both the | Harding and Coolidge administra-1 tions; nor to approve Smith’s stand .

on prohibition." I Touching on the negro issue, the | Miami Herald said recently: "The white people of the south who resent anything that savors of negro supremacy, will speedily take notice (hit many of those who control .federal offices in the south are negroes and that they have used their positions to graft upon those who receive federal offices." The negro population in the south Is large. In South Carolina, estimates for 1927 show nearly as many negroes as white people. 893,200 as compared with 951.800. while the actual census of 1920 showed more negroes than I while people living in that state, and the same is true of Mississippi. The ratios are high also in Georgia anil Alabama. The total estimated white j population In the 11 southern states in 1927 was 18.491.200, as compared with 7.418.800 negroes.
