POlitical-DemOcratic


National Democratic Convention al
Chicago did something which the
adherents of Ex-Governor Smith die
not like, and it looked that it would
take heroic efforts on the part nf
the adherents of Governor ROose-
welt to heal up the sores created
there. But Governor Roosevelt
seems to be the man who can heal
up these dissensions and soon ev-
cry Democrat will have their coats
off and working for the success of
the Democratic party. 1t now looks
as if the party in power would have
a stiff fight on their hands to re-
elect President Hoover. An old
Democrat said a day or so ago that
President Hoover would know when
the battle was ended that he had
been in some fight as the Democrats
propose to push the fight to a In
ish.
Ex-Judge Hugh Morris name is
prominently mentioned as a candi-
date of Governor on the Democratic
ticket.
This would be a fine selection if
the eX-judge can be prevailed upon
to serve, it will simplify matters
and people will feel that if Judge
Morris is elected the interests of the
State will be in safe hands. 1t will
take a man of ability and strength
of character, shown by the judge, to
beat the present governor.
We are still keeping the name of
TohYa IN Con nail
ed to the masthead.
Republican
President Hoover finds his party
divided into factions. The wet and
dry question seems to bother the
Republicans at the present time and
both sides are waiting for his let
ter of acceptance, which will be on
August II, when he will start his
campaign to win reelection.
We were amused at a story
printed in the Morning News last
Monday saying that the Republican
factions had met and buried the
hatchet, and all in the future would
support Governor Buck. General FL
lison included. Can you imagine
Governor Buck and General Ellison
pulling oars together in the same |
boat? Politics, we know make some |
strange bed fellows, but we don't |
think that Governor Buck and Gen
eral Ellison will lie down quietly to-
gether. The item in the Morning |
News went further and gave the
composition of the future ticket on |
the Republican side. For Governor,
c. Douglass Buck; Congressman, 1.
Dolphus Short; Attorney General, |
James R. Morford or Robert G.
but where does General
Ellison come in? There should be
some place for him and also for ex-
State Senator Alice. However, the
Evening Journal on Monday even
ing denied that any such meeting
had taken place and the Morning
News on Tuesday denied also that
such a meeting had tak117 place. So I
the battle will be continued until
the Republican State Convention
settles the matter. We believe that
Buck will be renominated
and it will take the best man that
the Democrats can put forth to beat
him and only because of dissensions
in the Republican rank will be able
to cause his downfall.
Japanese Beetles
People who are living in the Jap
anese beetle infected districts have
had much success in trapping the
insects. Perhaps this is the mode to
get entirely clear of the beetles.
Cfnfn hnun |
been employing a vast number of
men in trying to stop the forward
of the beetles and so far
have had but little success, and the
beetle continue to infest new dis
sricts each year. How would it do |
for the government to lay. off in
spectors and men and give to some
of the household a beetle
trap and in this way try to break
up those districts which are now
with the Japanese beetles.
It is worth trying and it cannot do
any worse than the means now be- ;
ng employed to eXterminate the in
'ects.
The English startling is said to be I
1 foe to the beetles and feasts on
hem whenever they can find them, I
Ind other birds are said to be fond {
If the insects and should be pro- il
ected, and perhaps some way can
De found which will forever exter- '
innate the pests from our midst. z
The Mexican beetle is getting so S
hick as to threaten the future bean [
.rops. We hope something can be
one to kill off these insects before s
hey become more numerous. The t
by the present method v
GEMS to injure the bean crop. We |
hould think as many chemists as
We have in the United States and e
elsewhere they could formulate a Ii
olson which would be destructive n
o the beetle family without injury d
o the human being. At the present
ime we are at the mercy of these s
ests and it seems there is no way s.
D stop their onward march, and we
lust submit to bear the destruction P
Thich both the Japanese and Mex h
,an beetles bring about. W
