For Vice-PresideDt.

Franklin D. Roosevelt is a virile, up
standing, able American, with many cf
the characteristic qualities of his
distant cousin Theodore. He adds to
the Democratic ticket as much
Strength as the naming Of Governor.
Coolidge brought to the Republican
ticket. A quite young man, only SO
years of age, he has already demon
strated the possession of exceptional
ability, and, what is better, right
mindednesS and honest conviction.
His first essay in politics was as a
member of the New York State SEN
ate, where he led, and led success
fully fight against Tammany in it's
effort to make a United States Sena-
tor of William F. Sheehan. That was
in 1910. In 1912 he was one of the pro-
gresslVe young Democrats of the
country who had much to do with the
nomination and election of Woodrow
Wilson to the Presidency. For the
past seven years he has been the AS
SlStant Secretary of the Navy and has
'Deen recognized as one of the influent-
1aI men in directing the affairs of the
department.-The Baltimore Sun.

The Farmer Hit Back

1t is told of ex-President Hayes,
lhat while attending school at Ken
Em College, he was in the habit of
laking daily walks into the country.
These trips were shared by two init
pate companions who were of a
Em-lOving disposition which frequent
y got them into trouble. On one oc-
saSiOn they met their match at
fepartee in an old farmer whom they
|net on the highway. The long white
eard of the farmer gave him a pat
''aTchal appearance, and while he
|RaS approaching the students
ley arranged to give him Il
I!olying." One of Z them dol
ed his hat with great reverence and
le'pect as he said, "Good Morning,
Father Abraham" The second saluted
lie farmer and said, Good Morning,
Father Isaac" Mr.. Hayes. not to Lc
sltdone in affability and politencss,
eltended his hand as he said, Good
Morning, Father Jacob" Ignoring the
hStretched hand of Mr.. Hayes, the
afmer replied, Gentlemen, you are
mistaken in the man. j am neither
aoaham, Isaac nor Jacob, but Saul
le son of Kish, who was sent cut to
Ila his fathers asses, and, 10! here ]

A Convention Story.

The best story told by, any Of the
speakers at the Democratic Convention
at San Francisco last week was that of
a woman, Mrs. Julian Brown, of West
Virginia, who seconded the nomination
of John w. Davis. She told the story
of the boy who had been to Sunday
School and was telling his mother the
story Of the Creation as he had learned
it. He recounted the making Of the
world the birds and the beasts, and
went on to tell how God had made
man, who promptly went into the
garden and laid down to sleep. And,
added the boy, while the man slept
God appeared and took out his brains
and made women. The convention
howled with glee over that, and Mrs.
Brown was rewarded by the band
rendering "Oh, You Beautiful Doll"

]. |, CORNELL DIES IN
AUTO WRECK.
KILLED when MACHINE 0VERTURNS
NEAR RIDGEVILLE, ND.

While en- route with his wife, child
and father-in-law from Baltimore to
Hancock, Friday afternoon to spend
the Fourth of July holiday John. L.
Cornell, assistant city solicitor, was
killed instantly when his auto skidded
and overturned on the rainsoaked
road near Ridgeville. Mrs. Cornell
and the child were uninjured and the
father-in-law, Christian Reamer, was
only slightly cut. Mr.. Cornell's life
was crushed out by the steering wheel
of his car, which wedged his body
against the stump of a telegraph pole.
The others were trapped in the
wreckage and were rescued sometime
after the accident by passing motor
lists. Mr.. CornelPs home is at 2708
Guilford avenue
Mrs. Cornell, with her five-year-
old son, Harold occupied the front
seat of the auto with Mr.. Cornell and
her father sat in the tonneau. When
the car began to skid Mr.. Cornell
applied the emergency brakes and
thus brought the car to such an
abrupt stop that it careened to one
side and finally overturned.
Mr.. Cornell tried to leap from his
cramped position under the large
wheel, but was unsuccessful. AS his
body landed on the stump of the pole
the rim of the wheel crushed his abb
domen and caused internal hemorr-
hayes.
1t was fully five minutes afterward
when party of motorists sighted
the overturned car and went to the
rescue. Mrs. Cornell, Harold and Mr..
Reamer were taken to Lisbon, where
DR.. Lacy, of that town, was sum-
moned and rendered first aid to Mr..
Reamer. He afterward examined Mr..
Cornells body and said that death
had been instantaneous.
Mr.. Cornell was regarded as one of
the ablest of the younger lawyers in
Baltimore city. He graduated from
