 Experience was the reason. We knew what Dale and Forrest wanted in this flight We didn't guess and I believe it aided greatly.
 Much Of my activity was confined ;o cheering them and supplying photograph records and fresh roses. They have to have their roses every day.
 If the boys ate all we sent up to them, they surely should be fat when they land. They really have eaten much more per day than they did last year.

Democrats Inconsistent

Columbu O.. Aug. 13 LP)-OhIo democrats took an inconsistent stanJ on prohibition in choosing their candidates to oppose republicans in the November election.
 They chose former Congressman 1 George White of Marietta, an out standing dry as their candidate for governor and apparently selected former Congressman Robert J. Bulkley of Cleveland, who favors repeal of national prohibition. as their candidate for United States senator.
 Republicans renominated Cover nor Myers Y. Cooper and Senator Roscoe C. McCiulloch, both drys, without opposition.
 Bulkley had lead of more thar 10000 votes over his nearest op- ponent in the five cornered demo- cratic senatorial contest in S.415 of the states S,956 precincts. White for the democratic guhernatorial nomination. had a lead of more than 45,000 over Stephen M Young. ol-N titlIu, Ill ~ pltCllltlS. Returns from S,415 precincts for the senatorial nomination gave: Bulkley. 7O,S76; Durbin. 37,11G: TruaX, 32, 397; McSweeney, 32,OS1. Myers. 17,062.

White. editor Of the Toledo Times, had a plurality of more than 13.00O with only one precinct in the district unreported. The battle was fought on the issue of repeal of national prohibition, White championing the side of re- peal. Chalmers, dry, is serving his fourth term.
 Democrats probably chose a wet also as their candidate 10 oppose White in the 9th district. Scott StaJl had a majority of about 400 over William B. Clark with only one pre- Cnct missing. In the 12th tColum- bus) district, Arthur ?. Lamneck advocating prohibition repeal, was an easy winner in field of three candidates for the democratoc con gressional nomination. He will op- pose Congressman John C. Speaks nominated without opposition, ir November.
 Woman Loses Campaign
 Congressman Charles Brand, 1th district, was being hard pressed by Judge Gram for the republican nom- ination. With about 100 precincts yet to report. Brand was leading by about 2,300 votes. Both are dry.
 Mrs. Pauline Buckley of Daytor lost her "vindication" campaign fol the republican nomination for statt treasurer.
