Bryce Moore Is
Honoree at Party

Little Miss Bryce Benton Moore Of
Jackson, was the honoree of a lovely
birthday party on the lawn by her
grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Will
burn recently, celebrating her third
birthday.
At four clock the guest began as
sembling, accompanied by their mothers
or nurses.
The little honoree presented each
guest with a cap, hat or bonnet, made
in all sizes and %colors, and after hon.
ming these, they went on the lawn and
played games and had their pictures
made, and later we're served ice cream
and cookies. Then all went to the Din
ing Room and gathered around the table
in the center Of the table was a large
birthday cake. After singing "a Happy
Birthday to YOU" and watching Bryce
blow out the candles, they left wishing
that Bryce Benton would always come
back to Durant to celebrate other birth
days.

Nor is the proposal that Sec
rotary of State Cordell Hull be
nominated for president by the
conservative wing Of the Demo-
cratic party any more realistic.
Ii is wishful thinking.
Mr.. Hull, however conserva-
tive he may be himself, has
silently acquicsced in all the
policies of the New Deal. That
he would turn now against the
President in whose cabinet he
sits, is an assumptions which
does not take Mr.. Hulls char
Nacter into consideration.
Senator Harry r. Byrd of
Virginia is the head of the
regular Democratic organiza-
ton in that state. He may
head a delegation from the old
dominion pledged to him.
But if the regular constituted
national convention of the
Democratic party dominates
Mr.. Roosevelt there is no like
lihood whatever that Senator
Byrd will bolt his party and
become the candidate of an
Independent party.
TEIE last Independent Demo-
Il cratic ticket was entered
in 1896. after William J. Bryan
had won the regular Demo-
cratic nomination at The Chicago
convention with his celebrated
cross of gold" speech.
A national Democratic con-
vention' Wis called 10 meet
at indianapolis on Sept. 2,
which nominated John NJ.
Palmer of Illinois FOR president.
and Simon Bolivar Buckner of
Kentucky for vice president.
This convention was COM
posed of SSS delegates repre-
Senting Al states land three
territories. The platform re-
affirmed the ancient party faith
i'm the gold standard, and thus
the issue with free silver as
between Democrats was drawn.

POLITICAL PARADE
BY GEORGE ROTHWELL BROWN

The Palmer-and-B u ckner
ticket polled only 1882 votes
out of total Of 1882. 179.
Thus ii did not in the remOteSt
degree affect tire election Of
Mckinley and the defeat Of
Bryan.
The paramount issue before
the American people today, the
preservation of the very funda-
mentalS of our constitutional
system and our economic and
social way of life. is far more
provocative and far more vital
than was the money issue OF
1896
a candidacy this year by Mr.
Roosevelt for is years in the
White House undoubtedly would
divide Democrats more bitterly
than they were divided by BIZ
metaliSm AZ years ago. There
are signs everywhere that this
is so.
The revolt of conservative
members of the Democratic
Party against the left wing that
have moved in on il and taken
it over, is a wholesome sign.
But it may be doubted that
the nomination of an independ-
ent Democratic ticket is the
best way to save the party of
jefferson. Madison and Cleve-
land. unless that movement
should be a very strong one.
Such a movement certainly
would fail if the platform of its
candidates praised the Presi-
dent personally while excoriat-
ing the very things for which he
has stood. Mr.. Roosevelt and
his policies are inSeparable.
Independent Democrats may
conclude in their wisdom that
the best way TO preserve the
old-fashioned Democratic Party
of their fathers is TO vote the
Republican ticket this year.
That is the sure way TO run
the left wingerS out of Washing
ton.
