THE DEMOCRATIC VICE.
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

II seems hardly possible 10 believe
that one OF the great political parties
of this country should deliberately
and Intentionally nominate a man for
the responsible position Of the vice
presidency who has passed his S0th
year.
But Henry Gassaway Davis, former
United States senator from the state
of West Virginia and now the Demo
cratic candidate for the vice presi-
dency. was born in Maryland. Novem-
Der 1G. 1929, and before the date OF
his possible Inauguration he win have
passed his eighty-hrst year. Mr.. Da-
Wis is railway and bank president,
and a large Shareholder In various
coal mining and other corporations.
He was United States senator from
West Virginia from 1871 to 1883. and
retired from sotlve political life In

OF such candidate. Tho hope of In.

count FOR 1t in part. and the liberal
campaign contributions expected from
MT Davis and his wealthy friends
may also have had something to do
with II.
Under the American system OF gov
ernment 1t Will be impossible for the
voters to discriminate between their
party's choice for president and for
vice president. and each must stand or
fall with his associate upon the ma
tional ticket. Otherwise 1t would be
safe to declare that the American peo-

that the keel of the new leviathan has
already been laid. The selection OF

been made, but it will be either the
AdriafS or Asiatic. The first named
has the preference, the line once own

An Iowa paper has solved the cum
try editor to a L. Here is what it SAYS:
10 run q successful paper in a small
town an editor must possess as much
nerve as a game rooster and as tender
hearted as a spring chicken. He must
be as sympathetic as an old woman and
as hard hearted as a mule driver.
He should be kind, and he should be
cranky. He should attend to his own
business and also 30 other peoples bust
ness. He should boost everything
that pleases the public free of charge.
Some people say that an editor must
have brains but that is a mistake which
we can prove. If ar editor fiji the above
requirements, brains are not necessary.
