CAMPAIGN INTEREST
APPEARS GROWING
Nightly Political Rallies
Over County Drawing
Big Crowds

Interest in the political campaign
appeared today to be throwing off
its lethargy and to be increasing as
the date for the Democratic primary
of Saturday week, June 4, drew near
err. Only a little more than a week
now remains for the contestants to
make their appeals to the voters be-
fore the decision at the polls.
Nightly political rallies are being
held in various parts of the county,
and to these gatherings all candidates
for office are invited. Each is given
an opportunity to speak and to make
a personal, individual appeal to the
voters in the several sections of the
county.
All such rallies up to now have been
largely attended, some even in spite
of the rainy weather, and still lar
ger crowds are anticipated as the
date for the primary election comes
closer.
For several years it has been the
custom for the candidates to make
these rounds of the city and county
and speak. Some of them like it, 9TH
ers don't mind it, and for some it is
equivalent almost to persecution, be-
cause it is hard work for them to
stand up and speak.
A considerable citya following has
been worked up for the rallies, and
all of them attract a number of resi-
dents of Henderson who like to hear
what the aspirants for office have to
say for themselves.
So far as is known here, this is
type of political campaigning more
or less peculiar to this county.

Let's Worry About the N0n-Criminals, Too
Philadelphia Record)

Thousands of Americans will follow with wry smile the proceedings of the American Prison Asso- citation.
 This association. a splendid one, is discussing ways of rehabilitating exconvicS by teaching them trades, watching them making periodic reports them.
 The Americans who will smile wryy all between the ages of 16 and 25.
 Every educational association reports that there several millions of them, let loose by the schools and unabsorbed by business, who rattng around loose in our economic system looking for spot to settle down.
 Nobody teaches them trades, nobody watches over them, nobody seems to care much about their pro- gress.
 Their big difficulty to be that they have committed crimes and have not aroused the attention of society problem But it among the lost generation that Hitler made his first gains in Germany
 Had 1t not been for the New Deal, it's WPA. CCC and National Youth Administration, the problem would be even greater than 1t is
 It seems to us if an eX-convict is worth rehabi- tating, honest young is worth about seven times much effort and public concern.
 What need is a program for rehabitaing men and women who have never been in trouble.

NAVY DAY TOMORROW

For some IS years it has been customary to set aside one day on which naval ships and shore sta tons throughout the country thrown open to inspection by citizens commonly known as Navy Day It falls tomorrow October 27, the birthday an- nve1sary of the late President Theodore Roosevelt and was fixed as that date in tribute to the inmitable Freddy" whose influence outstanding on our modern Navy, both when he served as Secretary of the Navy and as President.
 It was Theodore Roosevelt who sent the United States fleet around the world in 1909 and it the same Teddy who said the United States Navy is the surest guaranter of peace which this country possesses"
 In recent years we have become more and more conscious of the Navy in Alaska and in the years to going to be more aware of it and depen- dent upon it for protection Already a naval air base has been established at sitka other bases at Kodiak and far into the Aleutians planned and u is probable we will see the forthcoming session of Congress making substantial appropriations toward further naval development in the north. That will mean not only more adequate defense for Alaska and the Pacific Coas tut it is going great deal to Alaskans in dollars and cents. Permanent bases ard ships in the north will mean the expenditure of large sums of money in the towns of the Territory
 For example during the fiscal year of 1888 ap- proxmately S2O0oOo0O spent in naval activities in the Bremerton Navy Yard Of that amount ma erlalS ana commodities to the value oI SZUOOOOO were procured in markets of the Northwest in addition to arops5s SaD000o0 which was expended in payrols With establishment of bases and permanent year. around Navy stations in the north be that the Navy will, in addition to affording adequate de- fense facilities. be dollar and cents proposition for Alaska
 The words of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. uttered Navy Day, 1884 just appropriate on this Navy Day 1888 as they were years ago:
 From the very beginning of national life the Navy has always been and justly deserves to be- object of special pride to the American people Its record is indeed to inspire such sentiments I glad to say both Congress and the country understand what doing in building up the Navy and about it's use. The Navy is not only the first line of defense but it is the most important line of defense"

WARNING OF DANGER AHEAD

It is solemn warning that U s. Senator Lewis B Schwellenbach of Washington brings back from trip abroad. The Senator during the past summer one of the United States delegates to the Interparliamentary Unions conference at The Hague and while travelled in Germany France, Ho- land Belgium England, Scotland and Ireland,
 Predicting that unless the agreement made by the four powers at Munich is revised the Senator pressed it his belief that there will be war which will destroy all governments and all civilization in Europe within five years Enlargng on his subject, the Senator said:
 There are still more than nine million Germans living in ten different countries of Central Europe and there's minority problem in each of them. It doesn't seem likely that Hitler will abandon the doctrine that he's been preaching since 1923- that all nearby Germans must be brought under the Reich
 Even if Hitler does recede. Germany must have raw materials. I'm convinced that he is determined to get Rumanias oil fields and wheat and grain and ore from the Ukraine. As matters stand now, feel that he intends to take control of the Danubian tries and try for clean sweep from the North Sea the Baltic.
 Tt is all a result of the unnatural conditions which set up after the Treaty of Versailles Not

THURSDAY. OCT. 27, 1898

II 1Of OfI0DA I ~ l. q Hi, lSOO
 Astrologers read this as an un- certain day in planetary direction Much confusion in political and eco homie theories is indicated.
 Through the morning hours sin ister influences will be active and may affect men and women who occupy exalted positions in society, business and governmental affairs.
 Motives may be impugned under this configuation which tends to discredit officials of high standing. Political feuds will gain in inten- sity and may develop nationwide scandals.
 Conflict between conservative and radical thinkers will be severe with apparent victories here and there in various contests. but the stars indicate spread of liberalism.
 Labor is to continue its deter mined warfare, but secret plots may retard cooperation. Suspicion will undermine the power of more than one union leader.
 There is a fortunate sign in the evening of this day for leaders Lawyers and political candidates should find it lucky for conferences or meetings.
 Women should pursue indepea- dent interests under this planetary government. Contests for profes- sional or business positions will be hard fought with men as opponents.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of vicissitudes, but success will come to many who depend upon their own exertions and avoid acceptance of aid from relatives or friends.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be alert in mind and en- e1getic in body. These subjects of Scorpio usually have great vitality and independence.
 Theodore Roosevelt, twenty-sixth President of the United States, was born on this day 1858. Others who have celebrated it as birthday in- clude Whitelaw Reid, journalist and diplomat, 1887; Owen D. Young, lawyer and business executive, 1874.

It is only by trade agreements which would make this natural commerce possible that German invasion can be averted If the four powers had authority to cede part of Czechoslovakas territory away from it. certainly they should be able to create and maintain a few trade agreements"
