A VALUABLE BODY.

The Chief presents today the full text
Of the interesting report submitted to the
board of directors of tie DonaldSonvilIe
Progressive Union at the meeting of that
body held on May 49, The document re-
views the work accomplished by the
Union since its organization one year ago,
and contains a mass of interesting facts
and figures which cannot fail to furnish
food for thought and afford a sense of
qualification to every thoughtful and pub
ic-spirited citizen of the community.
The Progressive Union has demon
strated itself to be a wide-awake, enter
prising and patriotic body, and the COM
paratively small amount contributed for
its maintenance by the business men
of the community will certainly prove one
of the wisest and most profitable invest
ments these gentlemen have ever made
President Alex BloomenStieI, his col
leagues of the board of directors and Sec
rotary R. N Slator deserve unqualified
praise for their Well-directed and fruitful
efforts toward upbuilding the community |
and promoting its material welfare, and
if the excellent results accomplished IN
der their efficient administration during !
the past year may be taken as a criterion
the conclusion seems warranted that the
Progressive Union is destined to become
an invaluable factor in the development |
of Donaldsonville and its environments
and an organization of which any cons
nunity might well be proud.

0Iey are out they should be kept out.

Nearly everybody can gather some po-
itical consolation or encouragement from
recent elections. For instance, Democrats
may enthuse over the election of their
party's candidates in two hitherto strong
Republican districts. one in Massachusetts,
the other in New York; Republicans may
smile because they held their own in an
other New York district and elected a
Republican mayor of St. Paul by the
largest majority ever given a municipal
candidate in that city; Socialists may
hooray by reason of landing their nominee
for mayor of Milwaukee, while the air is
full of straws blowing one way for the
edifcation Of the Prohibitionists and in
another direction for the encouragement
of the Ants.

The examiners discovered that
large number Of state officials have

"It is clearly the fault Of the gov

says the report.
Appended is a long list of officials

HARDING'S PAPER
One Campaign Lie After Another
Is Exploded When the
Truth Is Known.

Governor Harm on is cCGGucting the
meanest campaign that has marked
even the strenuous fights in Ohio
politics.
He does not hesitate to blast repu-
tations even if falschCcGg are neces-
sary to bolster up his cause. Ho
Is quick TO make personal attacks
upon all who disagree with him
One Cf his Smallest attacks upon
Warren G. Harding concerned the
latter's employees in the Marion Star
office. Governor Harmon said Candi-
date Harding harassed and discour-
aged his employees.

seal cf the union in refutation Of the
Harmon slander:

Resortinn to Abuse,

Democratic issues have dwindled to
Q point SO near to nothing that Demo
cratic discussions In Democratic
speeches and newspapers now read
as follows:
Mooney is a liar"
Harding doesn't tell the truth"
"Denman is falsifer."
AS the campaign continues it may
be expected that Democrats will re-
sort to even more strenuous charac-
terizations of Republican speakers.
The Republican candidates are driv-
ing home the facts so hard that the
opposition is caught without defense
and must resort to abuse.
