CITIES MAY BUILD NEW FAIR GROUNDS Elkhart and Goshen Men Would Build Between Two Towns. noSHK.V. Ind.. Auk- 2$. A Go-fchen-Klkhart county fair to be held on .i grounds to be estab'ished midway between the two cities, along the Chicago, South R"nd & Northern Indiana railway line-, is being agitated bv the chambers of commerce of (Jouhen and Klkhart. All Klkhart county fairs have been held in Goshen. The first fair was given her in 18 51 and each yesr, until after 1893. a county fair was held in Goshen, excepting interruptions during the Civil war. From 1 S03 until 130$ no fairs were held In I'JOS the project was revived and ii fair hdd eaeh year this in the fall. The association is now on financial rocks, receivership proceedings having been started and silo of the grounds, valued at $10.000, ordered. Tour (Grounds. In its history covering nearly 70 years the Klkhart couuy fair "had had four grounds one s'-uth of Goshen, one In Goshen, one at the southeast edge of town and the other, the former L,e$h stock farm, which is soon to be disposed. The fair failed here for several reasons poor management, too much emphasis on horse races and not enough on exhibits, bad location for grounds it is necessary to cross live railroad tracks t reach them and there is no transportation system and wide difference of opinion on how a fair should be conducted. One year it was thrown open to gamblers and bawdy amusements and the next it was presented on a Sunday school basis, with nothing to attract the multitude. The result was it died a natural death and stockholders will realize little or nothing in the general wreck. Sites Available. Several sites are available for grounds should the proposed Goshen-Elkhart fair develop. Efforts mad to revive the Goshtn fair went glimmering when it was found to be impossible to dispose of stock. The fair began declining about six years ago and went from bad to worse. LETS VALUABLE HOG GO FOR SMALL PRICE Speei.il to The News-Tinien: G( SH EN, Ind.. Aug. IS.

SAYS SELFISH FEW CONTROL

G. 0. P. PARTY Roosevelt in Western Speech Declares Democrats Offer Only Hope. Hy Associated Pre?: GRAND ISLAND. Neb.. Aug. 2S. Franklin D. Roosevelt, vice presidential democratic candidate, speaking at thel'nion Pacific station here today, declared, that the democratic party this year offered the most progressive program presented to the American electorate. The front porch rocking chair plan of presenting issues by the opposition partv. he said, resulted from the disastrous "Isn't it awful Mabel?" touring of; Hughe? jn 1916 and he added that the disclosures of Gov. Cox with reference to campaign expenditures roil a rliimr.ictrntf, r Ihn i.Ani.U, that the republican party's success would mean going backward, plac- I lng administration of the country's affairs largely in the hands of the seltlsh few. Blgist If-suo. This contest between progressive and reactionary ideas, he declared, was the biggest issue before the people. "It was a handful of reactionaries which selected the republican nominee in a quiet room of a hotel at two a. ri. on a vague platform. At San Francisco it va.i a fight in the open, resulting in the nomination of a candidate who had given Ohio not only a progressive administration, but also a modern constitution. This candidate stood on a forward looking platform. Not only in our domestic affairs did the platform appeal to the stomachs of men, like an old full dinner rail slogan, but in international affairs it also evidenced hope and progress the hope and aim that with the nations of the world gathered around the table with the purpose of averting war, wars would be averted." Stresses Point. Special stress was made on the point that Germany herself looked forward to the Roague of Nations for reconstruction and justice and it was America's high duty to aid the German people themselves, now that the war was over as well as it was the duty to aid other European nations." Turning to the question of campaign expenditures. Mr. Roosevelt said he would devote more attention to that in his address at Omaha tonight. He eleclared that unquestionably a certain amount of publicity was legitimate and required funds but the fund being raised by the republicans was so vast as to warrant the fixed conviction in advance that it could not all be expended legitimately. "And this was attempted at a time when the rublic had begun to believe we had got by the lavish xpenditures of money in a political campaign and the contributions of corporations arji individuals for selfish purposes."
