This rain will be the cause of great
rejoicing among the dry farmers OF tho

DEMOCRATS MOVING,
Unterriflcd May Put Ticket in Field
After Meeting Friday Night.


After Meeting Friday Night.
The Democrats of the city will meet
Friday evening in rooms 203, 20i and 200
Hooper building, to decide on what ac-
| ton the party will take In The coming
city campaign. 4 call for this meeting
Young. chairman of The Democratic city
and county committees, The call i'm
| cludes all Democrats in the city, and a
big gathering Is expected.
The call for "A Democratic meeting
comes somewhat as a surprise because
II was thought that the Democrats were
| going 10 indorse the business mems non
partisan ticket and refrain from putting
| 10 indicate that the Democrats are com
Ing To the conclusion that il will be nee
essary for them TO put straight ticket
| In the field.
| Many of the Democrats have lately ex
pressed the opinion that a ticket In the
coming election was necessary to pre-
| serve the Democratic party as an or
ganization for the national election next
| fall, and some have even gone so far
as 10 declare that the Democrats have
an outside chance TO elect ticket in
| the coming election.
Probably the real reason for the grow
ing sentiment among the Democrats for
a straight Democrat tic ticket is occa-
stoned by r dissatisfaction with the men
partisan ticket Many of the Democrats
feel that defeat of the on-pa rtisan
ticket is apparently inevitable and II
tber must suffer defeat they prefer TO
suffer II In their own party
The Democrats started the non -parti
San movement In this campaign, but the
Democratic plan failed TO find favor and
IT Was abandoned. 1t was succeeded by
the so-called business mems movement,
which has resulted in the naming OF a
committee to select candidates. The busi =
ness men. however. are experiencing
some difficulty in attempting TO secure
o. "
suit that the Democrats arc becoming
dissatisfied and are Indicating a desire

ideas.
