SUMMER CAMPAIGN

New York. July 10 (By A. P)-
Eager to attack post convention de-
tails, the Democratic national COM
mittes found itself today unable to
bring tagged wits to serious business
and decided to put off formalities of
organization for the campaign until
over-worked executives and party
leaders caught up ON sleep.
Tonight New York was deserted
village so far as the national con-
ventfon was concerned. Hastily
abandoned campaign buttons and
muiti-colored badges were heaped In
various hotel repositories as evidence
es OF the historic struggle which
gave Madison Square Garden it's
great day. Weary, but smiling and
exuding optimism of November
success. the phalanx Of delegates, al
ternates and advisers, started home
ward to tell the folks Of the strong
ana able candidates" resultant of
their protracted labors.
The candidates themselves, after
day OF consultation and greetings
during which the presidential NOM
1nee was introduced to his running
mate for the first time-prepared
for a brief spell Of organized and
intensive rest. John w. Davis, al
ready committed to a campaign "di-
rect to the country. returned to his
home at Locust Valley. Long Island,
with definite plans only for rest.
Governor Charles w. Bryan of Ne

AND WELL-WISHERS

New York. July 10.-After a hec-
tic day. during which he surrendered
good naturally to a throng of adj
mirers and photographers who be-
sieged him repeatedly at the Wall
dorf-Astoria Hotel, John w. Davis,
Democratic nominee for president,
tonight escaped from an inundation
OF congratulatory kilograms. con-
ferred for about an hour with
Charles w. Bryan, his running mate,
and William Jennings Bryan.
William J. Bryan, who had op-
posed Mr.. Davis nomination, met
the nominee in a corridor of the
hotel this morning. Mr.. Bryan held
out his hand. smiled and said: ~
am at your command"
The nominee went to the home of
Frank l.. Polk, former under-secre-
tary OF state, and spent the after
noon receiving callers and answer
ing some of the messages that had
poured upon him.
In conversation with the corres-
pondent Mr.. Davis did not discuss
any of the issues of the campaign,
explaining that because of the burial
OF President Coolidge's son today he
preferred not TO get into the paper"
much. He said that he would resign
from his law firm, that he hoped to
take rest in the country, but that
beyond that his plans were indefin-
lite.
In the flood of kilograms which
four stenographers at the Polk home
sorted was one from Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson expressing the conviction
that in the Democratic presidential
nominee 1.-The things Mr.. Wilson
fought for will have a worthy cham
pion."
In reply to the brief please ac-
cept my congratulations on your

Gibbs McAdoo to Mr.. Davis last
night, the nominee today sent Mr..
McAdoo this telegram:
Thanks for your message Of con-
graduation. l have profound con-
fidence in the ultimate success of

A "bodyguard extraordinary" was
attached to Mr.. Davis today, in the
person of j. NJ. big Bill" Nye, who
was New York City's official escort
for European notables visiting here
during and since the world war.
This gives the nominee three bench
men, q captain of the bomb squad
and a police detective having been
assigned as his bodyguard by Police
Commissioner Enright.

THE SCHOOL AND THE FAIR

| There has been some criticism OF
the use OF the school building foI
talr purposes. The following OBJ
Jections nave been advanced: First
The building may be damagd; Second
the school will have to be closed for
two days; Third, there is danger OF
inviting some OF the diseases which
are epidemic in some parts of the
state. The fair board has asked me
to explain thru the columns OF the
Banner just how the using OF the
building for Fair purposes will affect
the school,
Two years ago the fair was held
IN the school building and no damage
was incurred. The fair board agrees
to repair all damages and to clean
up after the fair, so this, in my estl-
nation, should offer no objection.
1t will be necessary that school be
dismissed Thursday in order that
everything be put in readiness. TINS
might be real objection if it meant
that two days of school be lost to the
school children. This is not the
case These two days will be made
up at the end of the year without
extra cost. The accrediting rules
reqeire that minimum of one nun
dred and. seventy days of school be
taught. This school has always
aimed at about one hundred and sew
enty five days. For the past three
years school has held over on the
thirty-seventh week in order to make
up for time lost.
In regard to the danger of epide-
mics can't speak. l doubt if the
use OF the building would increase
the danger.
Inasmuch as the high school is
financed by the county, it appears to
me that there should be the closest
cooperation between the school and
the county.
