Boulevard Around
Lake Kampeska An
Assured Enterprise

Committees are at work this week
raising funds by subscription, to open
the boulevard around Lake Kampes-
ka, in accordance with arrangements
already perfected, lacking only the
completion of the work and the car
rying out of the plans.
s. A fund of several thousand dollars
is desired in order that the roadway
may be put into frst-class condition
This raising of the sum is placed in
the hands of ten committees, who are
already in the field.
The committees find that the auto
mobile owners and the business men
generally are enthusiastic in this en-
terprise. There are quite a number
of fifty dollar contributions-some fif-
teen to twenty. The subscriptions
range all the way from fifty dollars
down to FIVE. s
Mr.. SouthWick has secured the right
of way around the lake, the roadway
averaging quite close to shore, get
ting away from the shore at but few
places Tt is the intention eventually
to gravel the roadbed the entire dis
tance, and much Of the work will be
completed this year, it is expected,
especially over those portions which
do not make fairly good dirt roads.
The ten committees are headed by
the following chairmen: C. d. Ray,
d. M. Bannister, J. O.. Johnson, r. l..
Kemple, John Noodle, Lon MacDow-
ell, John Conley, James Skinner, HI.
M. Hanten, S. x. Way, G.. B. William
son and Glenn Yeama1is. II s73
1t was suggested that the fund first
be raised and then a road day be de-
clared, and volunteers asked to aid in
the work of building. However, con-
struction details will be left to a con-
struction committee, which will be
appointed later.

Chautauqua Opens June 29==SSeyen Days Program
Preparedness I En-
dorsed BY G. 0. P.
and The Democrats
(By Charles B. Cheney in Minneapolis
sJournal ~

f5 .44 * 1.al
(By Charles B. Cheney in Minneapolis
Journal.)
The presidential campaign of 1916
is now on, with issues joined by the
nominations and platform declarations
of the two great parties at Chicago
and st, Louis.
Early indications are that the con
test will be as hardfought as any il
recent years, with more even chances
OF success than the parties have had
since 1896. In that battle the extent
of the free silver detection from the
republicans was unknown until cleo
ton.
In 1900 McKinley's reelection was
thought certain and in 1904 Roosevelt
was generally expected to sweep the
country. In 1908 the Roosevelt sup
port of Taft made his election a GER
tainty, while the republican split Of
1912 made things simple for Will
son.
ine democrats this year stake ey-
erything on the record of the Wilson
administration, and especially on the
fact that the president has kept the
country out of war Wilson and
Marshall, the 1912 ticket, go before
the country again for an indorse-
ment.
Republicans believe that a reunited
party means victory The reunion is
not yet accomplished, but it is ex-
pected to be complete after the meet
ing of the progressive national com
mittee June 25.
The nomination of Charles e.
Hughes fer president was made be-
cause the republican delegates be
lieved he better than any other man
would heal the breach of 1872 JUS
tice Hughes was on the bench and
had no part in that battle. He was
appointed to the bench by President
Taft. As governor of New York he
made a record which will be strong
asset in the present campaign. He is
vigorous, logical campaigner and
announced the day of his nomination
that he would devote his full time to
the contest.
Charles W. Fairbanks, runningmate
to Roosevelt in 1904, is the nominee
for vice president, and his selection
is expected to assure Indiana's elect
oral vote in spite Of Thomas R. Mar
shalls place on the democratic ticket
Fairbanks is the biggest and strong.
est man in Indiana today.
Both party platforms and both can
didates are declaring for preparedness
and for protection of American rights
I abroad, but Mr.. Hughes will attack
the administration for it's failure to
translate words into deeds, and will
insist that the platform declarations
are meaningless and insincere because
the democrats have failed to take ad-
vantage even of the authority given
by congress to enlarge the army and
navy.
