SPEAKS HOPEFULLY OF DEMO

The Kentucky Editor Thinks the
Trend Of the independent Vote is
Toward Parker-Mr. Waitersou Will
Address the Democratic Editors.

Esopus. ". Y, September 2-Henry

orator, came TO Rosemount today with

Judge Parker certain details OF the
Democratic campaign from the point
of view Of one who has participated
actively In sever political conflicts. Nj.
Watterson is in the east for the purpose
OF attending the meeting OF the Demo
cratic editors. which is TO be held in
New York next week. The conference
lasted some time. and the editor and
his wife remained TO luncheon. return
ing to New York in the afternoon.
Mr.. Watterson spoke hopefully OF
the prospects for Democratic success
this fall, but agreed with many other
experienced party leaders that 1t is yet
too early TO make an intelligent fore
cast.
Il have confidence in the reports from
all parts OF the country that the Demo-
cratic party is thoroughly united he
said. The party will poll its normal
vote, but this will be true also of the
Republican party. This year, as IN
many former years. the independent
vote will be the decisive element. and II
appears to me that the trend of this
vote is toward Judge Parker"
Regarding his plans for the campaign
he said:
My labors will be confined to my
own particular sphere, and l shall ex-
tend my writing to do as much FOR
Judge Parker as 1 can. / ave no beer

Spring Is Here

Monday was the beginning of the
vernal equinoctial period, when the
sun passed north of the equator
making the time of equal days and
nights. We may now reasonably
expect a return OF the mellow sun
shine and other signs Of Spring.
The cold Of the past Winter was
long and severe, and the four
months of cold will be remembered
as the most trying ever expert
enced in this latitude. There has
been much suffering and sickness,
the result OF protracted colds, grip
and other Winter disease, But
all of them will soon be but REM
lnisoenses when the swelling buds
and chirping birds produce more
pleasant conditions.
