is not far distant when great national huskng contest
participated in by corhuskers from practically every state

Oldsters who recall the husking contests of

sport They remember when neghborng farm boys pted
their skill huskng with all Corners, and looked forward
to the arrival of fall because it signaed the arrival of

general participation in them. The auto makes it
possible for farm residents to good deal of ground

It's good sign this returning popularity of an old

Rosedale Farm on the Leesburg

"Stonewall' Jackson stopped dur

For the farm has been selected
to demonstrate to the world just
how electricity can benefit the
farmer and make his life happy

Conference, the Rural Electrifica-

consented that his place be used
and all sorts of electric equipment,
from air-conditioning units to elec-
trically charged window screens
that will kill insects, is now being
installed.
1t is expected thousands of
scientists and other visitors will
view the farm during the six weeks.
After that time Mr.. Hughes must
go back to the old manner of
running the place unless he wants
to pay for all the equipment in

Socalled "high command" had been

tended to try to blow the conven-
ton out of the water with the
most severe political attack on
the Roosevelt administration yet
made by a Democrat.
Postmaster General Farley, it is
understood, either confidently ex-
pected such an attack or knew
well all about it sufficiently in ad-
vance to talk to his close aSSo-
ciates about it; and this includes
the President, it is understood.
The President is taking charge
Of the political strategy needed
to combat an attack from the two
forces which have developed sud-
denly within the past few days.
One is the Union Party, headed
by Representative Lemke with a
Massachusetts labor eader,
Thomas, O'Brien as vice presiden-
tial candidate.
This threat includes the posi-
bility of Withdrawals of radical
and liberal western farm belt
strength. Representative Lemke'S
following on account of his farm
mortgage bill is enormous; and
the following is sore because the
Administration used every effort
at its command to defeat the
FTazier-Lemke bill in the House
only few days before adjourn
ment.
The second development of
course is the statement from Gov.
ernor Smith and four other former
strong Democrats. 1t is conf

Governor Smith will go "the whole
route" and support Governor Ian

For these reasons Washington

reason to look for some unexpected
move on the Presidents part with
respect to the convention.

FARM
PLANKSSPL|T
DEMOCRATS
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON

BY WILLIAM X. HUICdANSON
PHILAD ELPHIA, June %
G.NSD.-The supposedly simple
task of writing Democratic plat
form for 1886, acceptable to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, today developed
two major controversies, with
platform writer's sharply divided
over the best method of meeting
the Republican platform and the
Lemke-O -O'Brien third party threat.
Proposed farm relief and labor
blanks we're subjected to far
reaching controversies. Secretary
of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace
and his former aide, Chester c.
Davis, were reported battling for
a far more liberal farm plank
than written tentatively by the
Presidents platform adv iserS.
They were said to be urging a
plank, guaranteeing crop lnSur-
ance' TO farmers suffering losses
by floods, dust storms or pestl-
lence after entering upon the Ad'
ministrations soil conservation
program.
The proposed labor plank de-
veloped a major controversy over
the constitutional issue. The Pres
ident was said to favor a plank
silent about amending the ConSt-
tuition and based upon his recent
Little Rock (Ark.O speech, but de-
claring the Democrats Will pro-
vide Federal protection for the
worker and the aged.
Some liberal Democratic groups
assailed the proposed farm and
labor planks as "weasel-worded."
They demanded the crop lnsur-
ance" guarantee and an outright
declaration for a constitutional
amendment to guarantee mini
mum wages and hours Of labor
in event such legislation can not
be enacted by Congress under the
Constitution. The liberals argued
this was vital to offset the bold
declaration of Governor Landon,
Republican presidential nominee,
on the social issue.
Another group of Democratic
liberals demanded the platform
be written to appeal to the Mid
die West, where the Lemke-
O'Brien third party ticket might
cut into Democratic success. One
gesture in this direction was car
ried in the proposed monetary
plank, which strongly denounced
the gold standard.

mayors dinner to visiting gov
ernorS, a prize fight in the ball
yard. and a supper for visiting
newspapermen. They've arranged
breakfasts and luncheons and
dinners and snacks. You have to
be real hearty eater to enjoy one
of these Democratic conventions.
Tomorrow the Democratic girls
are going to have Scrapple break
fast. The convention will get
underway at noon, will recess for
a baseball game and buffet sup
pert for the visiting girls at the
Bellevue -Stratford and the day
will be topped off by the keynote
speech of Senator Barkley of
Kentucky, the greatest hog-caller
that ever came out of the Blue
Grass State.
More Breakfasts Slated
On Wednesday, another flock Of
breakfasts. Convention in the
afternoon. Baseball game, too.
Then Senator Joe RobinSon'S
speech. and Mardi Gras and street
dancing. The mummer's parade
and croWning of the queen of
beauty.
Thursday: More breakfasts.
Then a tour of old colonial houses,
luncheon of national committee
women and State chairWomen TO
Jim Farley, a parade and an eve
ming session of the convention to
rubberstamp the platform. The
whole winding up with a frolic at
the Penn Athletic Club.
Friday: More of the same.
Breakfasts (no kidding, baseball,
convention in the afternoon to re-
nominate Roosevelt, and an ice
skating carnival.
Lacks Minstrel Show
And on Saturday the troupe
closes the engagement with an.
other breakfast, water sports on
the Schuylkill, the denomination
of Garner and, the biggest event
of all, the appearance of President
Roosevelt and his speech set for
10 p. m.
| There was never anything like
it-thiS super-vaudeville by the
New DealocratS. All it lacks Is a
minstrel show with Roosevelt and
Garner as end men.
So now you have the lineup and
the whole program of acts for the
Democratic follies and scandals Of
1886. Iron hand, the boy usher,
will give you the signal when to
applaud.
