This is serious contribution to

Henry G. Davis, the Republican
candidate for the American vice
presidency, is a capitalist and was
probably nominated to bind the cap
italistic element to the Republican
ticket. The outstanding fact about
him is that he is eighty-one years Of
age. 1t is curious that in America,
where youth is idolized, politician
in his ninth decade should be nomi-
mated for the second office in the
state. Mr.. Gladstone was Of course
about the same age when he became

Aside from the lack of rain the weather

little breeze to temper the caloric Not
since early in August has there been a
good rain here. Vegetation is blistered

are running low. Sickness follows asa
