Well, that summer weather you have been waiting for seems to be here and we will probably have several months of it. Only five weeks until the Centennial, to which event you have the right to look forward to with confidence. It will be a week of interesting, entertaining and profitable events. Corn is knee high around here, a week before the Fourth of July, which should assure a big crop of this leading product in this section. An occasional rain is all that is needed to put it over. The drouth in the west, coupled with the grass hoppers and catterpillars seem to be damaging the wheat to such an extent that there will be a great shortage, advancing the prices for those who are fortunate enough to harvest any. It is evident that most of the larger newspapers are against Roosevelt and Garner. This can easily be noticed jn the articles published, the headlines and the manner of playing up or hiding those stories which injure or aid their candidates. Ask the man in the field or on the street about Roosevelt if you want the real answers to the questions propounded by the members of the Union League and the partisan opposition. They certainly can tell you about the improved conditions the past three years. Listening to those seconding speeches yesterday, we were convinced that the Democratic party has plenty of capable leadership. Among those outstanding is the popular governor of Indiana, the Hon. Paul V McNutt, whose ad dress was able and whose reception was equal to any given. A movement started at Cleveland would lessen the number of automobile drivers, business men deciding to use other means of going and coming until some plan for stricter licensing, examination and certification of drivers is adopted. There is no doubt that in some way the danger of driving must be eliminated or reduced. CHANGE OF ' ADDRESS Subscribers arc requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another. For example: if you change your address from Decatur R. R. 1 to Decatur R. R. 2, instruct us to change the paper from route one to route two. When changing address to another town, always give present address and new address.

The Nominators rally at the I Elks’ home tonight, sponsored by | ths county and city Democratic organisations, will be a worth i while event and the funds thus : raised will be forwarded to the i national committee to help wipe out the debt of the national comi mittee. It’s an easy way to pay It. The platform adopted by the : Democrats In the convention at Philadelphia is clear, concise and carries much weight to those who really feel the common people ; should have their rights, The addresses by the various leaders have been fair, brilliant and con- ! vincing and the campaign opens with the backers of Jefferson eag-l er to lead the way to a great vic-, lory iu November. Complaints are registered over;' the high prices in effect in the I hotels and restaurants in Philadel-] phia this week. No doubt the proprietors of those places felt they had a right to add something to make up their share of the $250,000 subscribed to land the meeting. Oh well, its all over now and if you should drop back there next week you would find the menu price in accord with other cities

of the land. This community sincerely hopes that Mr. Gerard Swope, president of the General Electric, will receive a favorable reply from Mrs. Roosevelt to his personal invitation to attend the Centennial here and dedicate the Decatur Homestead. Mrs. Roosevelt and Mr. Swope are both deeply interested in better housing and we are sure their attendance here would make the occasion a perfect one. California Democrats claim that state will give Roosevelt and Garner five hundred thousand majority. If that is true, there won’t be many states in <Tie G. O. P. column in November. On the other hand Mr. Hamilton who is the loud speaker for Governor Laudou is claiming all the states iu the Union excepting two and says they are doubtful. Os course they will have the opportunity to change their predictions during the next several months. Whatever serious objections there may be to Roosevelt and Garner must be found somewhere else than in the great convention closing today in Philadeiphia. Never in history has an administration had greater loyalty or mots enthusiastic support than has been shown the past week. Seconding speeches to Mr. Roosevelt's nomination from representatives from each state in the Union rang with enthusiasm and sincerity and tonights notification ceremony at Franklin field, will, with weather permitting, be the most wonderful political event ever witnessed iu America. — Q - YEARS AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File June 27 —Report is received that Villa hae offered to join forces with Carranza to fight the United States The city will build water mains to the Schafer Saddlery Company's plant.

DISPELLING THE FOG By Charles Michelson Director of Publicity, Democratic National Committee

It is a strange, aweinspiring thing to note the processes by which some of our distinguished newspaper commentators on politileal events obtain the information they impart to their readers. The other day Mr. Frank Kent told the country the intimate details of the Democratic party's strategy as to Wisconsin. Hit) authority was that famous character of fiction, "a man exceedingly ! friendly to Mr. Roosevelt personally and an ardent new dealer." It is extraordinary how these 1 close confidants of the president, who are never named, rush off to Mr. Kent and the other anti-ad-mniistration propagandists, to I whisper secrets so closely held that in many cases the president

1 himself, nor any of his political advisers, has ever heard of them. It is a commonplace for these sec-ond-sighted writers to know in advance, from the ‘•prominent Demojerat” who figures in their stories, ■ decision® on political and governmental questions that are, or may come to be under consideration, j Not infrequently they announce, ! on the same unimpeachable authority, matters undreamed of by those who decide on the issues and problems of the campaign. These positive gentlemen of the press are a good deal like the; writers of so-called business let-1 ters. These letters, marked confidential, are sold to credulous business people concerned with political or governmental -actions. They purport to give the ultimate low-down, inside, projects and developments of legislation and executive consequence, with all the motives that actuate the people directing such activities. If they guess wrong—their next confidential letter to their clients explains, how and why the administration I changed its mind. The sources of information open i to these business letter writers are what they were when the writers j occupied the more vulnerable posii lion of the newspaper reporter, minus the advantage that the prestige incident to a representative of a big newspaper gives. But to return to the more ini-1 portant writers for the daily press. 1 I Before the convention had met Mr. Kent advised bis readers that j he had learned that the presidents 1 j acceptance speech “will be full of I surprises.” It so happens that ( I when this prophesy was made the I > ’ president had not touched pen to ; -! paper on that speech. I am able ito speak with some degree of confidence in this regard because it • was part of my job to get the; .'speeches appertaining tn the con-; vention as early as possible so as 1 1 to arrange for their printing and 1 distribution to the press corresI pondeuts. At this writing I have ! not the least information of wbat ’ kind of an address the President 1 will deliver and I am sure that my iuioruMttiou on the subject is not less than that of the disting- ’ 1 uislied, accurate, impartial column-

; ist, who has interpreted Democratic actions, and policies for sev-j : en years, always adversely, and always from a Republican point 1 of view. With equal definiteness and pre-; cision. Mr. Kent recited the pro- . gram for the convention, through 1 , the length of an extended column I . of type. I cannot torego reproduc-l . ing one of his paragraphs. "This plan of swinging the coun-; . try off its feet in one wild week; 'of convention oratory, coming to , a climax with an eloquent and ringing appeal by the candidate; , himself, originated, it is under-' stood, not with the practical poll- , ticians but with some of the more ! i advanced thinkers of the inner] circle who have great weight as

Until they read i this column, Chairman Farley of the Democratic national committee, Secretary Morgan, and the I others of the arrangements comI mittee thought that they had planned the show. Perhaps Mr. Keut does not class ; them as “practical politicians.” lAs one who was more or less in ; the thick of the agenda making, I gathered the idea that what was to be done was the outcome of discussions among a very practical group. Perhaps we were in- | fluenced and impulsed by thought waves of which we were uncon- ■ scious. What seems a more adequate | explanation is that the columnist got his information from the same

mysterious apocryphal friend and confidante of the President whom ue cites so impressively whenever he wants to pass the buck tor one of his utterances that he would like people to believe. - Home T owners Mrs. Frank Parent, Saginaw, Michigan.
