Japanese Naval Hero to Seek U. S. Good Will ♦♦♦♦ ♦ * * * Admiral Kichisaburo Nomura Named for Mission of Peace to United States. Envoy Is Well Known and Popular in Washington.

Pacific ] ——'n^3oww® r ~< i' —w' — I // X BvLWKfti i EBBE—_ Al jJ A oMißAir Kichisaburo Nomura After Shanghai Bombing In order to allay any apprehension that may exist regarding the friendship of Japan for the United States, the fair land of Nippon is sending its foremost naval hero to Washington on a goodwill mission. The envoy who ia to hold out the right hand of fellowship to Uncle Sam is Vice Admiral Kichisaburo Nomura, who is no stranger to the capital. Admiral Nomura has a wide acquaintance in America, having served as naval attache in the Japanese Embassy from 1915 to 1918, and as aide to the Japanese delegation to the Washington disarmament conference in 1921 and 1922. He commanded the Japanese naval forces in Chinese waters during the recent Shanghai turmoil and lost an eye when a Korean threw a bomb into a group of Nipponese notables during a review. Admiral Nomura's mission is a result of the anxiety that exists in certain quarters over what is regarded as the growing tension in American-Japanese relations. This anxiety is aggravated by the presence of the American scouting fleet in the Pacific, and, although Japanese naval experts are silent on the question, the jingo press of Japan raises the cry of “Wolf,” or its Japanese equivalent, every time Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson writes a note. On this side of the Pacific, the reports of Japanese arsenals and aircraft factories working under pressure is looked upon with alarm in some quarters. But competent Japanese authorities explain that they are merely replacing munitions and material expended in the recent Manchurian and Shanghai campaigns, it is felt that the visit of Admiral Nomura will do much to clear away misunderstanding and restore the olive branch to its pristine verdancy.

Jennings Bryan threw his weight and his votes to Woodrow Wilson. Young Clark seeks a seat in the senate, running as a Democrat. The other is John M. Hadley of Kansas City. His father was the late Herbert Hadley, once governor ot Missouri, a leading figure in national Republican politics. The younger Hadley was overwhelming choice of Republican voters as one of their nominees for congress and expects to win in November. In Illinois Congressman Richard Yates, whose father was famous as the Civil War governor of Illinois is seeking re-election. In California Congressman Charles F. Curry again seeks the congressional seat held by his father some 20 years ago, and so does Congressman Harry L. Englebright, who wants re-election to the place his father. William F. Englebright, held in congress at the same time Curry's father was there. In Wisconsin, Phil LaFollette.. son of the late Senator Robert M. LaFollette and brother of the pres-j ent Senator LaFollette is up for reelection. And in California, Richard M Canno, sen of Bishop James Can non. Jr., after losing the Republican and Democratic nominations for congress from the 14th district, is before the voters as the prohibition candidate for the office. GOVERNORSHIP, CONGRESSIONAL SEATS ARE WON CONTINUED FROM fA?!"-?. 1 ' cratic candidate. The Democratic vote astounded some political observers, for not only did it appear that Brann was elected, but several other high elective officiers held for years by Republicans were endangered. Brann carried his own home town of Lewiston by a large majority, unless missing precincts are top heavy with Republican surprises; he carried Martin's home town. Augusta, by 93 votes. He also carried Martin’s county. Republican leads, thin enough to [begin with as the outlying rural ! vote was reported, dwindled when the heavy wet city vote was recorded. And as these votes rolled in, Democratic headquarters joyously echoed with the political war song, "as goes Maine, so goes the union.” History has shown that to be inly a half truth, but it made no difference to the Democrats today. Faces were grim at Republican campaign headquarters. Modestly optimistic statements were issued ail night long, until the announcement that Brann was conceded to hold a lead. Democratic inroads on normally Republican strongholds were amazing. even to some Democrats. Republicans won the state by 83,000 in the last presidential year state election. Their majorities have averaged 40,000 since 1920. Their lead never has been below 36.000 .since women won the right to vote. All Democratic candidates were | wet. All Republican candidates ex-

DECREASE IS LARGE SAVING TO TAXPAYERS CONTINUED FROM PAGB ONE tax emcriteney and the denlro of thn acliool board to meet it and relieve the tax burden in Decatur, It waa deemed beat to apply the aurplua on the budget and reduce the levy to the lowest figure possible. The proposed rate ia one of the lowest made hy the achool board In more than 10 years. Figured on last year's valuation it means a saving of approximately $35.000.00 to those who pay tax In Decatur. , Dr. Mangold stated that next year the last bond on the high school building would be paid. This amounts to $1,500. There still is a bonded indebtedness of $17.500 00 'on the gymnasium and auditorium addition, making the total school city debt. SIB,OOO. The latter issue is paid off at the rate of $2,000 per year. The school city has sufficient funds to operate until January 1. 1933. In Decetbber it will receive approximately $50,000.00 in the distribution of taxes, which will provide a sufficient balance to complete the school term The school board composed of Dr. Mangold. M. E. Hower and Mrs. Carrie Haubold. assisted by Superintendent M F. Worthman. devoted much time to the study of the budget and also advised with Lawrence F. Orr, chief of the state board of accounts. Figures were compiled and every effort was made to make as big a cut as possible. The action of the board is outstanding and the savings resulting from the reduced rate will be appreciated by the taxpayers. ASKS NOMINEES TO STATE VIEWS CONTINUED FROM PAGE' ONE ward,” is that the question "is bedeviled with politics." he said. Smith reviewed the platforms of the two major political parties. The Republican platform suggested a study with a view to eliminating the “inequalities and inJus tices and effecting all possible economies." The Democratic platform. while much briefer, called for a “full measure of justice to all war veterans who have suffered disability or disease" resulting "from war service.” "So much for the platforms," Smith wrote. "The American people have a right to know where

MRS. DAVIS Continues Her Education You know Mrs. Davis —the little bride. Two weeks before her marriage she graduated from college with high honors. But in one respect her education has been neglected. Yesterday, for instance, she picked up the telephone and called the grocer. “I would like,” she said politely, ‘‘to have some things sent up. A bag of flour — three packages of breakfast food—one can of baking-pow der —six bottles of ginger ale—a pound of coffee—a package of —what’s that? Oh. Why, I’m sure I don’t know what brand. Just any kind, I guess’” No wonder the storekeeper interrupted her. He gets few orders like that nowadays. For wise housewives buy things by name. Not merely groceries, but kitchenware and piece-goods and household appliances; shoes and shirts and garden seeds; all the thousand and one things they need. Mrs. Davis will complete her education. She will learn to study the advertisements in the daily paper, and to keep herself informed as to qualities and prices. She will take her place alongside thousands of other women as the efficient purchasing agent of her home. Read the advertising columns of this paper regularly. They are your guide-posts to safe buying. Decatur Daily Democrat

“Veterans and Taxpayers." was timed to appear as the American Legion convention got under way at Portland, Ore. it dealt largely with the legion's advocacy of veterans' legislation, and with the encouragement given the Legion and others by congressmen.
