gunshot injury which tore off the

The boy left home Sunday

teresting as it afforded some
thing new in political strategy
with pleasing frequency. Bore
dom was banished from the
standpoint of popularity, the
Cleveland convention of the Re-
publican party suffered in COM
parison. The absence Of excite
ment at Cleveland may be attri-
buted to the fact that Mr..

the public generally is not much
absorbed in the vice-presidency
In support Of this statement, it
is said by eminent authorities
that few citizens can recall the
names of former vice-presidents,
with the exceptions of those who
have succeeded to the chief
magistracy Of the nation.

WILLOW RIVER BESTS
ASKOv IN GOOD GAME

The base ball game between
Askov and Willow River on the
Askov grounds Sunday was the
best played here this year.
Although the scores to lin
favor Of Willow River looks a
little lop-sided. it was never-the-
less close enough to be anybody's
game right up until the last man
was out. Askov went down fight
ing with two men on bases in the
final inning and several other
times they were just on the verge
of scoring but somehow could
not connect with safe hits at
times when they were. most need
ed. Won Schenk did excellent
work on the mound for Askov.
He was credited with 5 strike
outs but really had 2 more as
Askov's catcher failed to hold the
third strike on two occasions.
Willows twirler, Cook. pitched
a good heady game and secured
8 strike-outs.
A dispute over foul ball in
one inning when Willow had the
bases packed and a line drive was
sent along the third base line.
caused little merriment TO the
fans. The umpire declared it a
foul and that settled the matter.
Had it been a fair ball it would
have meant two more scores for
Willow. At this point one Of the
old base ball fans with the visit
ors jokingly said that Willow and
Askov will not be able to play
any more before the League Of
Nations pact is signed.
Many Willow River rooters ac-
companied their boys here.

Convention Hall, New York,
June 30-Anybody who witnessed
the impressive spectacle of sec
tional and partisan favoritism for
candidates during the first week
of the Democratic convention
will attest to the fact that poll
tics is still a popular American
sport. Millions of words telling
in detail of the scene within
Madison Square Garden have
been sent out by the newspapers,
and the radio has brought the
story direct to thousands of
"listeners-in". A coldblooded
analyst, unimpressed by the GA
mour of this quadriennial out
pouring of militant Democracy,
would say that the keynote of the
whole affair is nothing more than
stark emotionalism. One thing
is certain and that is the predo-
minance Of the human element in
the discussion of the leadership
and policies Of the Democratic
party.
The necessities of a nationwide
distribution force the writing of
this account of the convention
several hours before the assemb-
'ly has selected a standard-bearer.
1t is said that the platform as
finally placed before the conven-
tion is not the most ideal set
of declarations conceivable but
the best possible under the cir
cumstances. No doubt it would
have been better for the Demo-
Gratis to adopt a more makeshift
affair but the exigencies of the
political situation left them little
choice. The initial sessions of
