SPLENDID CANDIDATES

Statement by Will H. Haye, Chairman Republican National Committee ✓ —i——» Senator Harding posseses just those vital qualities of mind and heart necessary today and in the time just ahead. His poises of mind, his soundness of judgment, his hold on fundamentals, his appreciations of the needs of today and tomorrow, his love of the people from whom he came and of whom he is one, and his faith in them; his magnificent grasp of large affairs, his great native ability and his training in statesmanship, his regard for the opinion of others, his experience and success in the handling of men, his proper appreciation of his country’s position as a responsible factor in the world’s future, but with the fullest realization of the absolute importance of our own supreme nationalism, his sterling Americanism, his righteous character and manhood, and withal his thorough humanness, all qualify him in the most exceptional degree for the tremendous responsibilities which will soon be his. He will make a splendid candidate and a great president. The country will love him, honor him, trust him and follow him, just as all who know him love him and trust him, and the world will honor him. Too, in Governor Coolidge we have a candidate for vice-president that measures up to every requirement of a presidential candidate. Fortunate indeed is the country.

PROHIBITIONISTS TO RUN TICKET

j Chicago, July B.—A prohibition ticket may be put in the field again j this fall, according to an announce--1 ment made today by Virgil G. Hinshaw, chairman of the prohibition national committee. He declared “both the democratic and republican national parties in omitting a plank endorsing the eighteenth amendI ment had dismally failed to live up Ito the standard demanded by the i American people in forty-five states.” • Decisions as to a ticket will be 1 made, he said, at the national convention to be opened in Lincoln, Neb., on July 21. Mr. Hinshaw said that the prohibition party considered it “incumbent on us to maintain a party organization to give expression to the millions of dry voters.”

WAITING TO RETURN TO LAND OF THEIR BIRTH

New York, July B.—More than 2,500,0Q0 foreign born citizens of the country are waiting to go back to the land of their birth, P. A. Baker, superintendent of the department of immigration, said today. Lack of steamship passenger facilities, unsettled conditions in Eu-. rope and currency deflations are some of the reasons for their being unable to return to their homes, he said. Of those who have gone to Europe with the intention .of settling there, he said, a large majority return to this country within a few months. They have discovered the high cost of living has made the trip to Europe expensive. Since 1918, departures have exceeded arrivals and immigration has been unstable and not comparable with that of prewar days, he said. The reasons, he said, include more stringent passport laws, both here and abrpad and the present European unrest. What nationalities will comprise the next tide of immigration can not be predicted, he said. Whichever country first stabilizes itself and its resources sufficiently to permit of its citizens returning to America will probably form the nucleus of the next wave, Baker said.

DORRIS CROOKS TAKEN TO GOVERNMENT HOSPITAL

Dorris Crooks, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Crooks of this city and an employe of the Hilliard & Hamill clothing store, was taken to Martinsville Thursday evening where he will be treated by the government at “their hospital for. an injury received during his services as a memos the American navy overseas. He was accompanied by Cope J. Hanley, Adjutant of the Dewey Biggs chapter of the American Legion here. For the past three weeks Mr. Crboks has been suffering intense pain and for a greater part of the time has been bedfast. Repeated efforts had been made to secure his admission to the hospital by the government representatives here without avail and it was not until the American Legion took charge of the case, two days ago, that any success was met with. Mr. Crooks’ injury was the result of being struck with one of the sixteen hundred pound mines as it was being swung overboard into the sea. Mr. Crooks and his comrades were employed at the time in mining the North Sea and he was helping steady the mine before it was lowered into the sea. The mine struck Mr. Crooks on the back and left hip, driving him against the side of the boat. Examination disclosed that the sciatic nerve of his left leg had been bruised. He was laid up for several weeks. Following careful treatment he showed improvement and it was thought by his attending physicians at that time that the wound was permanently healed. However, the old trouble developed again a few weeks ago and grew steadily worse until it became imperative that he be placed under the care of skilled surgeons. Although it is certain that a permanent cure • can be affected, it is the belief of the physicians who have been attending t him that it will be many weeks Before the desired results obtained. Mr. Crooks Was reluctant about making application to the government to care for him, but was finally prevailed upon to do so by his friends who felt that since the injury was incurred during his service in the navy that it was the duty of the government to care for him. . Mr. Crooks saw twelve month of active service in European waters and had many and varied experiences. The greater part of his time, in the service was spent in laying mines* perhaps the most dangerous work a soldier is called upon to do. He spent much time in Mediterranean waters and was also in the Black Sea for several weeks. Dorris also suffered the loss of a finger oh his right hand during his return trip to this county when a large steel door on the boat swung to, catching his finger beneath it. Mr. Crooks and his mother are vtery grateful to the local Legion for the quick results obtained in the way of securing him admission to the hospital and feel that the Legion movement is one that every citizen of the community should get behind. The submarine Deutschland arrived in Chesepeake Bay four years ago today, July 9, being the first under water craft ever to cross the Atlantic.

INTERCHURCH MOVEMENT TO BE KEPT IN ACTION

• New York, July B.—(Special)— । The interchurch world' movement I will be continued, though on a । greatly modified basis. One outstanding modification will be the spending of less money. This was decided by a unanimous vote this ' evening at a special meeting of the general committee of the intercliurch and representatives of the thirty denominations who have been . affiliated with it. This session was held in the assembly hall of the foreign missions council of the United States and ' Canada, attended by 150 men and I women from all parts of the country. Baptista Will Give Aid 1 To the surprise of many, both the , Baptist and Presbyterian denomin-. ; ations were represented, in spite of the fact that both had withdrawn I from the interchurch, the Baptists after arranging to pay so much of the $2,500,000 as their leaders thought their share, for which they had underwritten the movement and .the Presbyterians after agreeing to pay $1,000,000 which their executive commission undertook to raise । for the movement. : The presiding officer was Fred B. : Smith, Vice Chairman. Austin Leader of Baptists i The Baptist church was represented by Ernest L. Austin, director of public welfare in Philadelphia, who, a fortnight ago, in Buffalo, was , elected president of the Northern : Baptist convention; and also by H. R.

I The Presbyterian church was represented by two members of the executive commission. They 1 were the Rev. Dr. Henry C. Swearingen, pastor of the House of Hope, St. Paul, Minn., and the Rev.

FOURTH ACCIDENT VICTIM WILL PROBABLY DIE

Lowell, Ind., July B.—What had been planned as a merry outing at a summer cottage on the Kankakee river was turned to tragedy in a twinkling yesterday afternoon when a north-bound Monon passenger train crashed into an automobile just south of Shelby, killing three, fatally injuring one and seriously injuring another. AH Lived in Shelby. All were residents of Shelby. The Dead MRS. JOHN AHLGRIM. CHARLES AHLGRIM, her son, aged 5. FRANCIS SIROIS, nephew of Mrs. Ahlgrim, aged 4. The Injured RUBY SIROIS, niece of Mrs. Ahlgrim, aged 5, injuries considered fatal. Slightly Injured MAX AHLGRIM, son of Mrs. Ahlgrim, aged 6, injuries serious, but will recover. On Pleasure Outing. Mrs. Ahlgrim had loaded the children into her automobile intending to take them to the summer home of Max Ahlgrim, Sr./ grandfather of the children for a visit. The cottage is located in Water Valley about a mile south of Shelby and just across the railroad tracks. As the only person who could be considered a witness of the accident is the six-year-old son of Mrs. Ahlgrim who was in the car, it will never be known just how the tragedy occurred. View is Obstructed. The road approaches the track* at a steep grade and view of^ the south is somewhat obstructed. From the actions of the occupants as noted by the train crew in' the brief interval before the pilot of the engine caught the automobile it is believed that Mrs. Ahlgrim was not aware of the approach of the train. Engine Is StalledApparently she had driven to the top of the grade and either the engine stalled or she became excited on seeing the train and tried to back from its path. The machine halted on the tracks and an instant later was reduced to wreckage. . The dead and injured were taken to the Max Ahlgrim cottage which is located within a few yards of the scene of the accident. Medical aid was rushed to the scene but the three deaths had been instantaneous. _ . Little Giri Dying. Physicians despair of saving the life of the child, Ruby Sirois, and her death is expected at any time. The lad, Max Ahlgrim, Jr., has a number of bad cuts and bruises but it is thought that he will recover. Besides the injured son, Ahlgrim is survived by her husband and an older child.

ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC STATE AGAINST WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The good old democratic state of Louisiana has joined most of the other southern democratic commonwealths in refusing to ratify the nineteenth amendment to the national constitution and thereby refuses to assist the women of this nation to come into their just TigM as intelligent citizens. , ' . So pronounced is the sentiment in that state that on July 8 tbs House of Representatives of Louisiana rejected an attempt to even introduce the ratification measure for consideration.
