songs are. set to music of the p0pu-

THE THING TO FEAR.

We do not think that the demo-
cratic press just now should be so
much worried over the fact that Mr..
Harding does not amount to, much.
According to newspaper reports, the
republican candidate has made more
than million dollars running a
country newspaper. The paper was so
small in the beginning and so unre-
munerative an asset that it was on
one occasion closed by the sheriff.
We are not prepared to believe that
a man who can take a newspaper like
that and make million dollars is any
small fry. We cannot be convinced
of it by the word of mouth of news
papers which in the aggregate have
not done so we'll.
But what should give US concern
Just now is the choice of the demo-
Gratis AS long as the, people down
South have no choice but to support
the democratic ticket if they vote
at all, their chief concern
should be that proper men are nomi-
mated by their own party. We will
not win many elections on the weak
ness of the adversary.
And it is worth while to note that
Tammany Hall is on the job

wants a strong labor plank. And
Tammany will seek to dominate the
convention in San Francisco.

son why Tammany wants these planks
in the platform, especially the "wet"
plank, along too with the damp"
candidate. The New York Times thus
states Tammany's position:
"The best that Tammany hopes to
get out of the San Francisco Conven-
ton is something that will help the
Democratic organization in Manhat-
tan and the Bronx elect the judicial
ticket this year and put the party in
good shape for the Mayoralty cam
paign of 1921. That is the principal
reason why it's, leaders want a liberal
prohibition enforcement plank in the
platform" :.

majority Of the democratic votes IN

HURLEY IS CROSS-EXAMINED
 ABOUT 1900 BAGS OF CEMENT

Harley Hurley testified on cross-ex- animation in superior court at Phoenix in regard to the manner in which he, in May, 1919, obtained 1900 sacks of cement belonging to the state. His testimony was given at the trial of w. F.. Springer, formerly connected with the state highway de- partment, charged with grand lar ceny in connection with the cement transaction.
 On direct examination Hurley tes- tifed that Springer had "loaned' him the cement, which had been consigned to the state highway department at Tempe. He said Springer had told him few days before he took the cement from the cars that the state had more cement than it needed on that job and that Springer would loan him some on condition that he would return it. He said Springer gave him slip of paper with the car numbers written on it and told him where the cars were to be found. He said he had given Springer no receipt for the cement, but had been told to keep count of the sacks in order to know how much cement to return to the state.
