Legion in 1927 vastly improved its county and district organization thus finiteness centers around the question of whether President Coolidge will consent to be “drafted” for re-elec-tion and among the Democrats there is a strained feeling over the prospeetive candidacy of Gov. A1 Smith. The year’s events brought both Mr. Coolidge and Smith to a pre-eminent place in their respective parties. From a January defense of his Mexican and foreign policies in Congress and an unpleasant political sit
issue by a public letter to one of hiscritics and the action of western Uem-
trial when the next term convenes, uat jon created by his veto of the Mc-
Jan. 9. Most of the trials are expected to be venued from this county,
however.
CONFUSION IN MAJOR PARTIES AT YEAR END WASHINGTON, Jau. 2. (UP)— The pre-presidential year closes with considerable confusion in both the Republican and Democratic parties. In the Republican party the inde-
Nary Haugen farm bill in February, Mr. Coolidge came in December to a place where many Republican leaders are demanding that he lead the
party again next year.
Smith started the year in Albany, being elected governor for the fourth consecutive time. His refusal to enter an active campaign; the collapse of his chief opponent William G. .McAdoo who retired from the arena; his deft handling of the ticklish religious

oerats in th»dr meeting at Ogden, Utah in September have all combined to place him in the dominant position he apparently now holds. The profound political sensation of ihe year was furnished by President ; Coolidge who without warning handed newspaper correspondents in his school room executive offices in Rapid City, S. D. little slips of paper on which hail been typewritten the statement: “1 do not choose to run for
1 president in 1928.”
Since that time more or less seri-
ous efforts have been made by Re- | publican leaders to get a statement from the chief executive as to whethI er he would permit the party to “draft” him. Mr. Coolidge with one < exception, has chosen. That exception was when be reiterated before the Republican National Committee, I Dec. <i, that he was not a candidate, i Sen. Curtis, Rep., Kans., leader ot the majority party in the Senate, announced his candidacy in an open let-
ter the latter part of October. The trip of the president westward
fur the summer also will have of it- | J self an important part in the political j | history of the year. It was the first 1 | time a president had ever gone west of the Mississippi river. The voyage came shortly after Mr. Coolidge had vetoed the McNary-Haugen farm price stabilization bill. He mingled with farmers and politicians of the farming region for three months and the result in general was considered hy
his friends as a big success. Developments in prohibition dur-
ing the year have served to advance that question as a political issue. Sen. Borah, Rep. Ida., an ardent dry, started things with a series of spif^ hes early in January and drew marked attention by Ids debate April 8 in Boston with Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University and a wet. The following month Gen. Lincoln C. Andrews who had been chief prohibition enforcement officer

And when the date for erection of his home came along, his fellow friends flocked in for miles around to help him build it. Whole families would come to the scene. The men would all work on the house and the wives would prepare the meals for them. Sometimes the building took place in the dead of winter when women huddled beside huge bonfires to keep
warm.

Gone is the time of the nipjit-watch crying his scant bit ot news as lie called the hour the lumbering stagecoach with its delayed mail has disappeared—the pony express has vanished—each filled a definite place in other days. In their places we find more modern means of spreading the news from community to community, from house to house— electrical communication— the newspaper— railroads— airplanes— all play their parts in this dispersal of the daily news over the country. It is our wish in 1928 to do the utmost within our power in the perfection and maintenance of a system which is devoted in Greencastle as elsewhere to this task of binding in a more compact unit this city of five thousand inhabitants and linking it with the outside world.
