An- ! other $250,290 in bonds also mature. | It is proposed to refund the bond | with serial ‘bonds maturing from 1938 to 1942. Without refunding the sinking fund, the levy would be 1312 : | cents.

State Fair officials today were pondering this question as they soothed elbows, sore from milling in yesterday's Labor Day multitude.

Discussion was rampant of the need for more Fairground to care

Nothing that has appened since

President Roosevelfs trip through the drought sections was advertised as “non-political,” but -no political trip ever brought better results. It was timed to catch, in various states, what was described as a nae tural swing back toward the President, due to disappointment with the. Republican candidate and ths sluggishness of the Republican campaign organization. The President again, due to the distress wrought by the drought and the ever ready pocketbook which he controls, appeared in [the role of deliverer. He carried the.role well, in his informal chats with the voters.

This was true especially in the °

Dakotas, which, as of today, appear safe for him despite the Lemke third party threat.

The swing. seems to be back to Mr,

those states at this time is not safe, Democrats are handicapped in Ne= braska by inter-party feuds. Senator Norris’ entry as an independent senatorial candidate may help. He is expected to announce shortly. The President received splendid ovations in southern Illinois, normally Reépublican territory, which | was helped by the presence of Gov.
