/. THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

The Democratic leaders of the nation are
this week moving toward New York City and
and preparing the setting for the convention
which will nominate candidates to oppose the
Coolidge Dawes combination placed in the field
last week at Cleveland
AS some wag has said, it always seems
strange that the democrats should hold their
gathering two weeks or so after the republican
party has nominated the next president and
vice-president of the United States History
shows this to have been the case SO often in the
political life of the nation that the American
electorate is growing rather accustomed to
the experience.
In sharp contrast to the recent republican.
convention, which was in fact but gathering
to ratify the wishes of a majority of the Ameri-
can people that Calvin Coolidge be retained in
the presidency, the democrats apparently have
no outstanding candidate with any considerable
strength among the elected delegates, but with
many who have expressed a willingness to make
the race, each Of the many having various ideas
on national questions of present day import
ance SO varied as to make them unacceptable to

GOOD ROADS DAY"

We believe it to be we'll for our local people
to bear in mind the fact that Friday of this week
is Good Roads Day. and as such day of the
utmost Importance to Red Lodge.
The day has been set aside by the R. L. NJ Club
as day for the business men of Red Lodge to
cooperate in practical way with the people in
the outlying sections in work upon the roads
leading to this city. The action of the club was
taken on the recommendation of the Roads
Committee of that organization, who had pre-
viously set aside day, which it was found nee
essary to annul because of the lateness of the
spring
The work to be done on Good Roads Day.
will have highly desirable direct benefit to
Red Lodge in that many very troublesome road
difficulties will be corrected and travel there
on made more agreeable for the people in the
rural districts, as we'll as those resident in this
city itself
We are Of the opinion, however, that an even
greater benefit will acrue to Red Lodge from
the actual work done on the roads. These bene-
fits will be the good derived from the general
knowledge spread through the country that Red
Lodge and its merchants and other residents
desire to cooperate most heartily with the peo-
pie In the country for the promotion of those
practical things which will react to the benefit
Of ALL
The day will further serve to bring our own
people into close contact with their fellow bust
ness men and byrubbing shoulders on the hand
les of "slip" or the business end of a shovel,
they will learn an excellent lesson in the values
of community cooperation which will be fruitful
of much good to Red Lodge as whole.
4% And so the Chronicle feels that all of our
people who have the welfare of their city at
heart and who can possibly leave their respec-
tive business duties for the day, even though
they must stretch point to do so, should CO.
operate in making Good Roads Day" success
for the value which will co meto them individ-
ually and collectively

WHERE DO ELEPHANTS D1Es

One of the great mysteries OF the
natural history world is where ele-
phants go when they die. Curiously
enough the body of an elephant that
has died from natural causes has
never been discovered either in India
or Africa. Among native races there
is widespread belief that, when the
great beasts feel the end approaching,
they make their way to some secret
hiding-place in which to die. The
whole question is just as big mys-
terry as ever, in spite of the fact that
many attempts have been made to
solve the problem. The districts
where elephants occur in wild state
have been secured in all directions
in the hope of discovering the last
resting place Of the huge animals, but
without any result. Quite recently
another determined attempt has been
made to penetrate the mystery, but,
up to the present, nothing Of any
value has been discovered As a mat
ter of fact the problem has more
than scientific interest to it. Any
individual who is 50 fortunate as to
find the elephants graveyard will cer-
tainly have made fortune. On this
