TRULY TYPICAL
this week

The great Speedway is truly typical, not Of
this country, but of the spirit of the age.
Perhaps that is the reason so many thousands
of people undergo great inconvenience in order to
watch the speeding cars.
The cynical suggest that go there in the
fond hope of witnessing accident in which death
will be the penalty for bravery.
That, of course, is not true There have been SO

A SIMPLE PROBLEM

If the delegates to the Democratic convention
and the leaders of that party perpexed over the
matter of senatorial candidate, they might ask
themselves two questions.
How many of the six candidates who ran IN
the urinary would have entered the race had Fred
erick Van Mugs announced his Willingness TO run
How many of the six candidates would have oeeh
lin that race had Frank Daley, the prosecutor OF
Newberry and victor for honesty and decency III
elections signifed his willingness to accept?
The answer to these questions will make their
problem very simple.
All the delegates and all the leaders know tnat
had either of these two men filed for the nomination
there would have been contest.
Every one Of the men who are now claiming
the attention of the delegates would have understood
the futility of making any and would not have

This convention which meets this week is the
me hope of the independent voters of this State
and of the hundreds of thousands of Republicans who
protest against Watson and all that his political
methods signify. =
The one hope of Watson is that it will show
the same stupidity which characterized the natloAal
convention of that party ago and developed
into wrange that will disgust thinking men and
women.
In acting for these independents and these pro-
tests Republicans, as well as for the members OF
their own party why should not the delegates draft
one of the men who might have had the nomination
without contest had he so desired?
The problem is simple. And the solution means
