INSTEAD OF RAISING HE'LL

The cordial reception given the Nogales trade
sion at Hermoslo and other points down the West Coast
of Mexico the fraterna good will between Americans and
Mexicans manifested at every turn along the Arizona
border contrasted with the continual bora continual
ly performing along the Rio Grande give rise to many
queer reflections
Here we see a body of commercial men proceeding
nearly 1000 miles into Mexico received most cordially

guaranteed by officials the most complete protection and
ENJOYING it at every turn along this border there are few
clashes or disturbances of any kind and those Whlche nave
occurred in the past be traced to the macnatons OF
German propaganda while there every there

Now, then, why this wide difference in relations be-

Senator about week ago. The Oasis has received more
thar score Of concentrations and the suggestion seems
to nave struck popular chord Upon all sides sterling

say that more fitting selection cannot be made.

talent for legislative and civic work In the lower branch
Of the state legislature she commanded the confidence
respect and good will Of all the members; and she was
potent in securing adoption of legislation needed for i'm
provement of the situation of women and children and
ameoraton of untoward conditions among thousands of
them in several of the great civic conventions she
sent delegate representing Arizona and she compass
ed some very excellent results
In the business world Mrs. Marsh has demonstrated

her of broad guage intellect that is needed in public
affairs Stana Cruz county should and doubtless will
avail itself of this opportunity to be represented at Phoe
nix by one of the ablest citizens of Arizona

GOOD GAME BUT

A Lakeland dispatch to this morn

Workman had the better of pitch

Johnson in the first inning and by
punching four hits showed over a
brace of counters. T hey scored again
in the seventh and to salt the game
away put on rally in the eighth

NOMINATING SPEECH.
FOR RLINC0LN WAS.
OF SHORT METER.
(By Associated Press.)

Chicago, July 1.-The nomination
oratory which marks the two great
political conventions this year is in
sharp contrast to the nominating
speeches of the early days of the
parties. This has been brought out
afresh by inquiry at the Chicago His
torical Society and the Newberry Iii
brary here.
In the first great Republican conven-
ton Abraham Lincoln was nominated
for the first time, by Mr.. Judd OF
Illinois, in these words:
81 desire on behalf of the delega-
tion from Illinois to put in nomina-
tion as a candidate for President of
the United States Abraham Lincoln
of Illinois,
The first national nominating con-
yention of the Democratic party was
held % years earlier, in Baltimore,
MAY 21-2S, 1882. 1t was at this gath
ering that Andrew Jackson was en-
dorsed for his second term Jackson
had been nominated previously. in
number of states by the methods
which we're then passing away and
according to the Newberry Library 1t
is doubtful if there was any speech at
all placing him in nomination at the
fret Democratic national convention,
The business of this convention was
nrincipally to nominate for the vice
presidency.
The conyntion adopted a resolution
concurring in Jackson's repeated
nominations" The resolution was
drawn in 60 words.
Previous to that time (from lSOO 10
1SOD nominations for the presiden
cy and vice-presidency, the we'll
known reference library says, were by
Congressional nominating caucus
consisting of party members OF both
uonses of Congress. The last con-
orossional caucus was in 1924, Jack
son opposing the king Caucus" at it
wae termed. as undemocratic. In
1928 he was nominated by state leg

this, popular state conventions grew

LIBERTY BONDS AND
THE INVESTING PUBLIC

Shrewd investors who are accus-
toned to studying values in securities
Eave been absorbing Liberty Bonds
and Victory Notes in large quantities
during the last thirty days, wisely
taking advantage Of the opportunity
to buy those giit-edge securities at
low price with high yield.
1t is not desired by the government
tfat money be taken from active bus
mess and productive industry to In
vest in government securities, but it ia
very desirable that the class of in
vestors composed of people who do
not care to Undergo the hazards Of
active business should put their
money in government securities,
while there is such an extraordinary
opportunity for profitable investment
in United States Bonds and Victory
Notes.
The director OF the War Loan Or.
ganization Of the Sixth Federal Re-
serve District has addressed a letter
to all of the bankers connected with
the Federal Reserve system, asking
them to bring this matter to the at
tention Of investors. Following is a
copy:
Business men naturally look to
the banker as counselor in financia.
matters, particularly in choosing in
vestments, and il the banker will
make it practice to advise investors
Of surplus funds to put their money
in government bonds, calling atten-
tion to the high yield at present mar
ket prices, he will do a, great deal
to bring the investing public into the
market for these securities. In doing
so he will save many man from loss
by unwise investment.
"If the general public can be
brought in as investors in government
bonds, the market will be strength
ened, and all concerned will be bene-
fitted To this end. am asking your
influence and active cooperation.
'The result of such policy con-
sistently adhered to by bankers will
be to put government securities on a
firm basis and to add many millions
to the market value of bankers as
sets.
This result will also be gratifying
to millions Of patriotic people, who
are not only supporters OF the gov
ernment. but also in many cases
among the best customers OF banks. :
While an increased demand for
government bonds would undoubtedly
result in an advance in the market
price, those investors who buy nov
would get in on the ground door.
