cast their ballots for Frederick fa*
Governor, did not get the opportun-] ity to “strut their stuff” as Mr. Dailey was nominated long before the roll call reached Putnam County. A delegate, you know, is simply a man delegated to carry out the desires of his constituents. AND THE DEMOCRATS OF PUTNAM COUNTY VOT ED OVERWHELMINGLY FOR MR. DAILEY GIVING HIM A PLURALITY IN ALMOST EVERY PRECINCT IN THE COUNTY. And yet some of the delegates were determined to disregard the desires of the people of the county and vote for Fred-
erick.
WEATHER HALTS ATLANTIC AIR RACE
Superintendent Yount, of the Greencastle City Schools, has announced that if the demand justifies, a summer school for Greencastle Grade school pupils will he organized. However, unless there are at least 25 pupils who desire to do the special summer work, the school will not be organized. In case it is, there will lie a fee of $5 for each pupil, payable in advance. Parents desiring to place their children in the summer school i should communicate at once will! Mrs. Olive Roughman, 508 Crown street, phone 741-X, or with Superin-
tendent Yount.
GREAT OVATION GIVEN DAILEY AT CONVENTION
Well, we cannot complain of an early summer dry spell. Arthur Hamrick is on the state ticket again for secretary of state. This is his third time on the State Ticket and we are hoping that the third race for state office will result like his third race for county office—
a victory.
Ott Webb, county chairman had a hard time keeping the Putnam county delegation together. I met him in the hotel lobby up in Indianapolis, Wed- j nesday while he was engaged in try- j ing to get the boys together. To me I he confided that the delegation was just like a covey of quail which had ! been shot into—scattered all over a! ten acre field. Judge James P. Hughes was signally honored by the Democrats of the Fifth Congressional district by being named as a delegate to the national Convention at Houston, Texas. That is fine and I heartily endorse the selection. Fact is that a better man for the place would be hard to find. Fiank Dailey received a plurality of more than 50,000 votes in the primary election. He almost had that much of a majority in the State Con-
vention.
I told you so.
Judging from the weather there should be a big crop of blackberries this fall. This “delightful" wet. cold weather, we are now "enjoying” you know is called “blackberry winter”’ and a good blackberry winter forecasts a big crop of blackberries. But whointhel wants blackberries?

Honesty Slogan Adopted For Campaign As Each Candidate Promises To “Restore Good Name Of The State” The big moment of the Democratic state convention at Cadle Tabernaclo yesterday came when Frank C. Dailey former United State district attorney was nominated by acclamation at the end of the first ballot. Frenzied enthusiasm swept over the crowd in the tablernaele when Dailey appeared at the speaker’s stand to make his speech of acceptance. Harmony of the session was demon struted in the unusually small number of ballots required for the selcctj ion of the candidates and in tne rap- ! idity with which the platform was adopted and other business of the con vention transacted. Three of tha nominations were made by acclamation and of the other eight, six of the nominations were made on the first ballot, one on the second and the other on the third. The Democrats adopted as their slogan for the convention and the campaign, “Honesty In government” and not one of the candidates who was nominated failed to hold out to the voters of Indiana a promise to "restore the good name of the slate.’’ The ticket nominated, headed by

Henry Bunion, former county treasurer, is the latest to come to me with a suggestion regarding the re-

that a hitch rack would now be useless but would give a lot of additional space for parking automobiles.
On Monday evening, June 11, at 7:30 o’clock the citizens of Greencastle will be privileged to hear one of the most outstanding and Interesting speakers on temperance and prohibition in the world. At this hour, ■‘Pussyfoot” Johnson will speak In the First Christian Church on the subject: "As The Orient Sees America”. The speaker has visited prac-
in the world,
and has just recently returned from a six months trip through Europe. |Last year he toured India, traveled 1 seven thousand miles in six weeks

the leaders of the people.
Mr. Johnson first became known as "Pussyfoot” when, as Chief Officer of the Indian Service in America under Roosevelt and Taft administrations, he personally arrested hundreds of outlaws who had defied arrest and put many of them behind the bars. He was well acquainted with the habits of outlaws before he became an active worker to outlaw the Liquor Traffic, and now he knows how to deal with our modern crop
of outlaws.
A few years ago as a representative of the World league Against Alcoholism, he w'as attacked by a mob in London and lost one of his eyes. After this accident he manifested such a sportsmanlike attitude in England that In a short time he hud contpeltely won the British public over td himself. Today he Is one of the popular speakers In England and Is listened to by thousands. Throughout the world “Pussyfoot” is damned by the wets and Idolized by the drys. Those who hear and shake hands with this great world character, will look back upon it as one of the greatest experiences of
their lives.
Major F. B. Ebbert, of Los Angeles, Calif., will also speak at this
meeting.
Frederick and Mr. Dailey., the nominee, on the grounds that Arthur Hamrick was a Putnam county candidate for Secretary of State can get a lot of satisfaction out of the fact that Howard county, the home of Mr, Frederick, gave Mr. Hamrick one out of 13 votes. So evidently the "poli-
tics" did not work.
It is generally conceded that Frank Hailey, Democratic candidate for Gov ernor, is 50.000 votes stronger than «ny other man proposed for the nomination. And 50.000 votes is lot of 'otes. Indiana voters should have no hesitancy in giving their enthusiastic support to Mr. Dailey—a man qualified and worthy of the leadership in n campaign to clean up the good
name of Indiana.
Putnam County will have at least one representative at the Houston con
vention. Judge James P. Hughes will moat
be there wearing one of the big Delegate” badges. And speaking of National conventions. Putnam County fared pretty well with A. G.

According to the plan the Fair displays would be housed under tents as usual, on the streets running east and south from the square. The dis- ! plays would link the square with the high school gymnasium where the j tr.wnship displays and home economj ics and club work will lx* exhibited.

An Oakland occupied by Mrs. Robj ert Orr and two children was in coli lision with u Reo Flying Cloud closed car, going west, when Mrs. Orr drove I the Oakland from a driveway on the north side of the road on to the pavement. The Reo was owned by George K. Savage of Evanston, who occupied the ear, it was said. Both machines were towed to the j Franklin Street Garage for reimirs. The Oakland was damaged to the extent of about $400, it was said, as a result of a damaged front end, bent frame, broken glass and cracked engine block. The Reo damage was estimated at $125, due to a damaged front end and bent frame. Mr. Orr is a guard at the Indiana State Farm.
