Home Folks LefferS Count Plenty; Results of Recent
 Conventions Prove Assertion
By JACK sTrNNETT

WASHINGTON, July g. The ways of democracy. like the ways of the heatnen Chinee, are often strange-but somehow they are mighty effective-or should I just say potent.
 It was the methods of democracy that made it possible for Wendell l.. Willkie, with his short-term cam- paign, to be nominated at Phila- delphia. It was those same meth- ods which formed the foreign pol icy plank in the Democratic plat form.
 Convention delegates and even politicians in office cannot stand the pressure from back home. The most effective lobby or pressure group in the country today is that which bores frcm within a con- gressman's own district with a flood of telegrams. letters and phone calls to urge or demand some particular piece of legisla- tion or the nomination of some particular candidate.

 IN AGAIN
0'DanieI Is Nominated by Majority Vote Of All
 Ballots Cast

DALLAS, Texas, July 29.-W. Lee O'Daniel, who campaigned with mountain music, piled up enough votes Saturday in the first Demo- cratic primary to bear out the campaign tune There Ain't Gonna Be No Run Off"
 The former flour salesman. early today, had 875,000 votes or 53 per cent of the total ballots cast.
 The nomination is tantamount to election for another two years.
 Senator Connally has outstripped his challengers for a third term in the upper chamber at Washington.
 O'Danie's challengers were Rail- road Commissioner Ernest Thomp- son, former Governor Marian Fer guson, another railroad commission CT Jerry S. Sabler, and Highway Commissioner Harry Hines.

PRESIDENT ASKS PERMISSION TO

Congress Works on Act 10 Enlist All Men from
 18 to 64

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Presi- dent Roosevelt today asked Congress to let him order the National Guard and officers of the Reserve Corps m- to intensive training, saying he is now convinced the security of the nation demands such step.
 "The nation cannot with clear conscience longer postpone this vi- tally essential step," he declared.
 Congress worked over conscrip- tion law to call all those between 18 and GA to the colors. Each re- cruit would get one year of training at regular Army pay.

 DOCTRINE
ACt of Havana 10 Come Out of Conferences of
 Western World

HAVANA, July 29.-Forelgn Min isters of American Republics have achieved full solidarity on methods of dealing with dangers arising from European possessions in this hemis- phere.
 Final committee action on the project alone Is awaited to place the document in history beside the Monroe Doctrine.
 The draft of the measure is ap- proved as the Act of Havana, which provides that American Re- publics may establish regions of provisional administration in any areas now held by non American nations which are in danger of be- coming subject to matter of ex- change of territories or sovereign ty."
 The draft also provides that any American Republic, individually or jointly, may act in the manner re- quired in case any nation other than American should try to take over any colonies in this hemisphere.

KNOW WHAT THEY WANT

Twice in the last few weeks, have seen this thing at work. In Philadelphia delegates were stunned by the overwhelming verbal and written demand for the nomina- ton of Willkie. His opponents in- sist that it was fictitious thing that it existed only because of planned campaign to snow The delegates under with cries from the hinterlands. wouldn't know I'm no detective. But whatever its source, its effect was immensely successful.
 In Chicago the same thing hap pened. Let me say right now that I am not even limiting that the Democratic party was committed to fighting on any front but our own. But if there WERE any so- called war -mongers" with any influence when the Chicago con- yention assembled they were beaten down and out by the very same thing that picked Willkie, a de- mand from the hinterdlands that we stay out of any foreign wars.
 It isn't within my province of passing along the inside facts to say whether I think this good or bad Like whole lot of readers, don't know. But I do know that an active portion of the vociferous public demanded stay-out-of-

WASHINGTON-W h e ther he realizes it or not, the Duke of Windsor is going to have tougher time on his hands as Governor of the Bahamas than merely sit- ting round the roulette tables of Nassau or entertaining ritzy tour ists from the U. s. A.
 The Duke was appointed to the Bahamas partly to give him some thing to do some place near the native land of his wife, but also to keep him as far away as pos sible from his pro-German friends in England and his Nazi pals in Germany were reputed to en- tertain ideas about restoring him to the throne of England.
 However, when the ex-King gets to the azure islands just off the coast of Florida he will find a ma jor social problem awaiting him. For the Bahamas are not self supporting; even with their rich tourist trade they are an economic liability. The United Kingdom gives them all sorts of concessions to keep the populace contented.
 Among other things, the British Government pays a high prefer ence on Bahaman sugar to sweeten the English cup of tea. It pays through the nose in comparison with the much cheaper Cuban sugar And should Germany con- quer the United Kingdom and cast off the Bahamas, those islands
