Roper, secretary of commerce at Washington opened the gates in a big dedicatory program. Os course the Daily Democrat will give special attention to a Centennial edition to contain a complete history of the county and we ask the cooperation of every citizen in the county that it may be in line with the big event. Listen for the broadcast about Decatur over WO WO Wednesday morning at eight o'clock. It's easy | to boost a good town like this and those on the program will do their best that the world may know what we know, that this is one of the finest localities in all the country. The city swimming pool is open for the season and the youngsters will give it a good work out the next several months. It's a fine thing for the boys and girls to have such a place, properly supervised, that they may learn to swim and may enjoy this finest of summer sports safely.

With hundreds of others In this « city and county, we join iu extending sympathies to the family of the late Judge Frank Gillespie of Portland, outstanding citizen, lawyer and jurist. As teacher, clerk of ; the court and judge he had held the confidence of his people be- . cause of his integrity and ability. The conventions will soon be over and then for a few weeks > your guess as to results will be as 1 good as any one vise's. The Re--1 publicans are holding their nationI I al meet this week, next week the 1 Democrats gather in Indianapolis ' and the following week go to Philadelphia for their national pow wow. School teachers will be required to give instructions to their pupils on traffic safety and to prepare for that nt special six-day course for the teachers opened in Purdue , University today. By warning the children constantly, teaching them how to guard against accidents, it is hoped and believed the number . of accidents can be greatly reduc- , ed. Week-end accidents due mostly ' to automobile collisions are again numerous as the reports come in and in many instances seem to be ■ due to carelessness, fast driving and other causes which should be prevented. The annual toll is frightful and unless the drivers themselves slow down and watch I the road carefully, the law will , make it mandatory one of these days. It begins to look as though ’some definite and determined steps , will have to be taken. —— The Literary Digest has started its campaign of straw voting and jin an early placement at Bing- 1 hampton, N. Y., shows a Republi- ■ can gain that is the first encouragei inent the leaders of that party have I had for a long time and they- are ■ making the most of it. Those 1 planning to bet are advised to wait i a little while, at least until the lines are drawn and people have really begun to make up their minds. The program at the Methodist; Episcopal church yesterday, observ-' ing the twentieth anniversary of the ordination of Rev. H. R. Carson was interesting and delightful to all who attended. Serving for two decades as a pastor. Rev. Carson has done much to spread the gospel of religion, right living and future hope. A fine gentleman and a scholar, a man among men, he is admired generally and his good family hold the high regard of every one. —o ♦ ♦ STAR SIGNALS —BY—For persons who believe that human destniy is guided by the planet, the daily horoscope is outlined by I a noted astrologer.

STATE PERSONALITIES I. Elective And Appointive Officers of Indiana. • V Sam Jackson Two of the ablest orators in the midwest will handle the gavel and supply the forensic fireworks at the Democratic state convention at the Indiana state fairground on June 16th. They are Governor Paul V. McNutt, native of south- | ern Indiana, and Samuel D. Jackson of Fort Wayne. Governor McNutt as temporary ehairman will present the Democratic keynote address for the 1936 campaign. Mr. Jackson as permanent chairman, will address the convention following the governor. Governor McNutt’s keynote address, the third he will have made before a Democratic state convention, will review the accomplishments of Dmocratic state and national administrations. Mr. Jackson, with his abilities at oratory no doubt will give the skeletons in the losets of the Republian party a first class airing. Mr. Jackson was chairman of the s-peakers’ bureau for the Democratic state cornmittee iu the 1934 campaign which seut Sherman Minton to the United States senate and elected a complete Democratic state ticket. He is widely known throughout the state as an orator and has been a headline speaker at many large Democratic city and district metings. He is a young man. well versed in law and one whos tongue is equal to the occasion whether his subject is one that calls for fiery denunci--1 ations or for flowery words of praise. He formerly was prosecuting attorney of Allen county aud is a graduate of the Indiaua law school. Although the convention proper is not to be called to order by state chairman Oiner S. Jackson in the coliseum at the state fairgrounds until 9:30 a. m. Tuesday, Jane 16th. much work is to be done before that time. The crowds will begin to assemble in Indianapolis the Sunday before and on Monday headquarters of all candidates wilt be open.

F. D. B. PLANS FOB LONG TIIIP , Roosevelt To Leave Tonight; Ickes And Hearst In Dispute Washington, June 8. — IU.R> While President Roosevelt today] prepared speeches for a south-1 western tour, Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes and William Ran-| dolph Hearst engaged in a hot dispute. Ickes' opening salvo, aimed at GoV. Alf M. Landon, was promptly answered by publisher Hearst, whom Ickes called as the "discoverer and principal backer” of the Kansas governor. The president leaves tonight on what was regarded as the first tour of the 1936 presidential campaign. His itinerary will take him into Texas. Arkansas, Indiana, and Kentucky and will include several, speeches. Mr. Roosevelt and white house ] attaches have insisted the trip is > just a "friendly visit” to the south-1 west and that it has no political i significance. It will be the occasion, however, for a rallying of Democrats in that section. White house attaches said the president did not wish to “steal the : thunder” of the Republican nat-, ional convention opening in Cleve-' land tomorrow. Radio companies were advised that broadcasting of his addresses is not to conflict with the convention iu the air. Mr. Roosevelt wishes the latter to be given precedence. Vieing for capital interest with i the convention and Mr. Roosevelt's trip was the acrid week-end exchange between Ickes and Hearst. Ickes was a Republican before he joined the new deal and Hearst j formerly was prominent in Demo- ] cratic politics. Ickes asserted Landon "has had i no clear-cut, forthright views —a least none he has dared to ex-. press.” Hearst replied that he belioves: Gov. lAindon's principles are "soundly American, and that the i man himself is able and honest.”; He predicted Landon's nomination and election and added “he will keep whatever pledgs he makes." | Mr. Roosevelt, in his southwest-, ern swing, was not expected to take any direct slaps at the Republican convention. His speeches,, it was said, will be "largely nonpolitical.” His first official stop will be j Wednesday at Little Rock, for an I address in connection with the Arkansas centennial celebration. Thursday will be spent in San Antonio, Houston and Austin, Texas. Friday his second major address will be in Dallas, at the Texas centennial exposition. Friday night will be spent in Ft. Worth, Tex., at the home of his son. Elliott. His third speech will be Sunday morning at Vincennes, Ind., en route home, at the dedication of the George Rogers Clark memorial. From Vincennes he will go to' Hodgensville, Ky., birthplace of !
