Mitchell Fayors Idea
OF TeIevision Debates
Between Candidates

Stephen A. Mitchell, the new
Democratic national chairman,
said today he was very interested
In the idea of television debates
between major political candidates
this year. He said he would raise
the proposal during strategy meet
ings with Gov. Stevenson this
week end.
The 49-year-old Chicago law
yer expressed interest in the tele-
vision proposal during his first
press conference since taking over
party headquarters in the Ring
Building here. The plan had been
advanced by Senator Moody, Dem
ocrat. of Michigan.
He told reporters he was leaving
this afternoon for the weekend
meeting at Gov. Stevenson's cam
paign headquarters in Springfield.
Schedule Not Complete.
Beyond speaking engagements
August 81 and % in New York,
Mr.. Mitchell said, no definite
schedule for Gov. Stevenson has
been set up. But he indicated the
Democratic candidate will cam
paign in the South and hit las
many places as often as he can,"I
including whistle stop" trips, by
plane. train and auto. On other
points, Mr.. Mitchell said that:
l. No specific plans beyond
Labor Day have been worked out
for President Truman's part inI
the campaign. But Mr.. Mitchell
indicated he expects such a plan
soon.
2. He knows of no plan for Mr..
Stevenson to resign as Governor
Of Illinois.
3. He expects charges of cor
ruption in Government to play al
big part in the campaign, and
that Gov. Stevenson has demon
strated his ability" to handle such
matters in Illinois.
Refers to Cleanup Move.
Mr.. Mitchell said administration
ottlclalS ARE now meeting" charges
of corruption here. He obviously
was referring in part to a cleanup
move within the Justice Depart
ment.
Before taking over as party
leader this week, Mr.. Mitchell was
chief counsel for the House sub
committee investigating the JUS
tice Department.
My own attitude on the cor
ruption issue is shown by the fact
that I was willing to leave my law
practice and go down to serve with
the committee" he declared.
On his own plans. Mr.. Mitchell
said he had none "other than to
stay in this job" He added:
From what I've seen of life in
Washington, I don't want to climb
up high in Government machin-
cry"
The National Committees Exec
utiye Committee will meet at II |
am. next Wednesday to vote on
the formal election of Mr.. Mitchell |
as well as to accept the resigna-
ton of Frank E. Mckinney, the
retiring chairman, and two of his
top aides. 7's
Earlier Mr.. Mitchell assured a |
group of churchmen that racial
and religious prejudices would be
kept out Of the Democratic cam
paign this fall.

Tert OF speech 0iuen By GoU.
Adlai E. Stepenson, Democratic
presidential nominee. at the
Illinois State Fair yesterday:
I notice from the program that
today is still entitled Governors
Day. But I thought we had re-
christened this as Barkley Day
some two or three years ago.
So I welcome you all to Barkley
Day at the greatest show on earth
the Centennial of the Illinois
State Fair. And we welcome for
the fifth time running the noblest
Kentuckian Of them all, our be-
loved friend, Alben Barkley.
What's more, Mr.. Vice President,
you have expiated the sins of
omission of last year and we give
you a double welcome this year
because you have brought Mrs.
Barkley with you. We Democrats
think one Barkley is wonderful,
but two are terrific.
This is the fifth year that you
have listened to me too. I use
"me too" inl the grammatical, not
the political sense. Which re-
minds me that there was a big
meeting out here yesterdays sort
of bipartisan gathering with rep
resentatives from both branches of
the Republican Party. I don't
know how the peace conference
got along. but they had a good
time criticizing us for everything,
as usual. They even accused me
of the crime of visiting President
Truman the other day-a crime
that hasn't been committed since
Rutherford B. Hayes, because the
party in power has not nominated
a candidate who was neither a
member of Congress nor the cabi-
net in IS years. I thought I de-
tected an explanation of their diff
f1culty in finding something to say,
however, when the orator of the
day revealed that out at the camp
in Colorado they ate fried mush
most of the time.

Cites importance
OF Public Confidence

Because what we have been do
ing here in Illinois is important to
our citizens, because it is impor-
tant to our Federal system, be-
cause public confidence is impor-
tant to our party, and because
much remains to be done, I had
wanted to stay here and have a
hand in putting this business of
good government on a more per-
manent basis in Illinois. But ]
have been assigned another task
an assignment, which, 1 gather
has been greeted with enthusiasm
In some sections. One of our
United States Senators, indeed
has said that I have been the
worst governor Illinois has had
since the turn of the century. But
I'm not the only governor on
whom he has poured his rich and
reckless invective. I can well un-
derstand why he should look back
with sentimental regret to the
more bounteous days of my pre-
decessor here in Springfield.
But because other citizens OF
the State will take a more char
table view of our efforts to give
them the right change here in
Springfield. and because you
have a new leader exceptionally
|ecuipped by character and exper-
lence to carry on the work we
have commenced, I am just as
confident as I am standing here
that Sherwood Dixon, Herbert
PaSchen. Eddie Barrett, Ben Coop
er, Ivan Elliott and Fred Cain
will all be elected next November
And I intend to be standing right
here with them next summer-as
President of the United States.
am about to leave you on a
long journey, and the route by the
way, won't be a military or politi-
cal secret. I intend to cover as
much ground as time and strength
and our resources permit. And ]
don't call it a crusade" to ex-
terminate Republicans. I like a
lot of Republicans, even some very
new converts to that faith, what
ever it is. Indeed there are some
Republicans I would trust with
anything-anything, that is, ex-
cept public Office. No, my journey
won't be a crusade: Well just
call it Operation Victory.
And before I leave I want to
say to you, shamelessly and senti-
mentally, that my heart will
always be here in Illinois. Here
five generations Of my family have
lived and prospered. My roots are
deep in our prairies and I owe
Illinois great debt. I have tried
my best to discharge that debt
honorably and well. But in the
process I have only increased my
obligations.

Feels Rewarded
For Illinois Work

I said this was the fifth year you
had listened to mean affliction
that you have borne with admir-
able patience and fortitude. The
Democratic Days at the fair have
been among the proudest moments
of my life. And now I must go
away in quest Of an even greater
office, and leave behind not only
you, my friends. but also my work
here in Springfield. It is not easy
to say farewell to you or to that
work which has been my total life
For all the sweat and tears I have
been richly rewarded.
What we set out to do when
first talked to you from this plat
form as a candidate for Governor
in August, 1948, we have done ir
three and a half short years. We
have eliminated the useless pay
rollers, put State purchasing on q
businesslike basis, enacted a great
road reconstruction program
raised the sights of the Illinois
school system, put the State police
on a professional non-political
basis, taken the Commerce Com
mission out of politics, put Illinois
out in front in the care and treat
1ment Of our mental patients,
amended the constitution, ex-
tended aid to tuberculosis hospl-
tails. reorganized many aspects of
State government. knocked out
commercial gambling, enforced the
truck weight laws to protect our
highways, instilled a new sense
of public responsibility among the
States employees. and I could go
on and on. And in contrast to
most all the other States, we have
not raised taxes for the general
purposes of the State.

Text of Gov Stevensons Speech at Illinois State Fair

early September. Supplies of butcher
hogs will be hghtest of the year and
will be moderately less than last
year. However, pork and lard sup
plies available from storage will be
considerably larger than in 1851.
Since this years spring pig crop was
farrowed earlier than ever before
and feed supplies have been fairly
adequate, the fall run probably will
start relatively early. The hog-corn
price ratio is likely to retain much
of its recent improvement and, by
early winter, is likely to be better
than a year previous.
LAMBS - Steady to moderately
lower prices are probable during the
next two or three months. Supplies
for slaughter are likely to increase
moderately to an October peak when
range lambs move in volume. Sup
plies of other meats also will in
crease in early fall. Broadening de-
mand for feeder lambs and breeding
ewes at recent prices which are
much more favorable to buyers than
year ago will help to sustain values.
WOOL Ste dy to moderately
higher prices appear probable over
the next six or eight months. Retail
sales have improved, retail and
manufacturers inventories of goods
and clothing have been reduced
sharply from the 1851 peak and new

and $50 whitefaced mixed lambs
from the Stanford area. The latter
group, an aggregate Of number OF
small punches purchased individu-
ally, is to be weighed with an over
night shrink. Another Shelby area
group, goo whitefaced wether lambs,
sold for fall delivery at 20 cents.
Seven wool sales in the Dupuyer
area. involving a total of 1900
fleeces, were completed at an even
so cents.
The bank also reported two sales
of yearling ewes. One band of 1000
whitefaced yearlings from the Great
Falls area sold out of the wool at
$27.50 per head, immediate deliv-
cry. The buyer was given 10 per-
cent cutback and the yearlings,
some of the best in the area weighed
113 pounds at time of delivery. The
other sale was transacted in the
Armington area, where $3.50 black
faced yearling ewes out of the wool
sold for immediate delivery at
$3.50 per head.

CATTLE 50 Prices for granted
cattle probably will improve slightly
in the next two or three months, but
are likely to remain So to 81 cWt.
lower than last year. Numbers on
feed in the cornbelt on July were
estimated by the U. S. Department
Of Agriculture at 13 percent more
than in 1851, when they were rela-
lively low due to the OPS price roll
back; they were about 2 percent
over two years ago and the largest in
postwar years. OF the increased sup
ply 36 percent have been on feed
over six months compared with 81
percent last year.
Marketing of grass cattle is ex-
panding and probably will rise to a
peak in October. Prices for such cat
tie are likely to dip a little as sup
plies increase. More grass cattle
probably will be sold than last year
or two years ago due to record num-
bers on farms and the urge to sell
DeIore prices Qec1ne luItn6f.
Stocker and feeder prices probably
have had about all their seasonal
decline. Demand is increasing and if
corn crop prospects are maintained,
buying is likely to increase about as
fast as the offerings in the next
three months.
Prices are likely to round
the peak for the year in August or

orders to mills have increased
slightly. Buying Of wool is more ac-
tive. than in early spring. London
prices are IS to 20 percent higher
than two months ago. The big war
time stocks are gone and world pro-
duction and consumption at present
price levels appear to be rather
closely balanced.

Sussex Project Covering
Over 1000 Acres Is
Now Being Worked
On; Will Be Completed
In Approximately Six
Months.

A Sussex County Soil Conserva-
tiOn project, covering more than
1000 acres, just southwest of
Georgetown, is now underway and
officials of the ditch company ex-
pect completion of the project in
about months The project, with
a watershed of 4,326 acres in the
area just west of the DUPONT High
way, between Georgetown and
StOckley, is known as the Messick-
Ennis-Sheep Pen Ditch, with two
ditch companies combining their
efforts to drain the area. The prof.
ect had been thought impossible
with the use of the Districts heavy
machinery some years ago. 1t was
/ first begun, insofar as legal tech
nicalities are concerned, back in
1947, when a group of the farmers
4 in that area petitioned the Courts
I for permission to form the ditch
company. Following the long and
tedious survey by U. S. Agricul-
tural surveyors and their recon-
mendatiOns to the ditch company,
actual operation by the drag-line
did not begin until August of this
year, following many months of
clearing on the Messick-Ennis and
Sheep Pen Branches with man
! power.
The clearing by hand. of the
small underbrusa and some mar
ketable trees along the banks for
a width of approximately so feet,
followed the course of the old
branch bed as surveyed by Agri-
cultural engineers. Travelling north,
or upstream from a point near
Dodd's Mill, into which the Sheep
Pen branch flows, the clearing for
the most part is. on the right side
of the branch bed, allowing the
heavy machinery space to operate.
The operation by the drag-line. a
heavy-duty crane using a drag
bucket, which must build it's own
road as it progresses upstream on
the right bank, is now under way
The Sheep Pen branch is being
dredged to a depth of 3 feet and
! d width of 26 feet and allows for
any estimated extraordinary flow
Of water caused by unexpectedly
heavy rainfalls. over ten year
/ period.
The termination of the project
is at a point downstream where a
natural watershed takes care OF
drainage into DOdd's Mill Pond
From a bridge on the Laurel
| Stockley road, the operation carries
down stream for approximately 2,
600 feet, the rest of the operation
of more than 10000 feet being
above the bridge on Sheep Pei
Branch. Of the distance covered
more than 10000 feet of hand clear
ing had to be undertaken prior Il
any work by the drag-line.

Collins And Ryan
Entertain Employees
100, Including Many Wives, Guests
OF MilIsbOrO Store Management

On Thursday evening, September
25. Collins & Ryan entertained ap-
proximateIy one hundred of their
EMPLOYEES and including many of
their wives in the MillsbOrO Fire
Hall. In the meeting the Roper
Factory made a demonstration OF
their newest models of automatic
ranges and the factory representa-
tive prepared complete meals in
order to illustrate just how Won
derful the new Roper ranges are.
Several different types of food
were cooked at the same time in
one of the ovens and proved that
the food tastes do not pass from
one to the other On Friday a SINH
lar demonstration was put on in
the new home economics depart
ment of the MillsborO School and
at this demonstration fish and cake
we're baked at the same time and in
the same oven without any notice
whatsoever of food taste passing
from either one to the other. This
demonstration brought out many
fine points of the new superior
Roper range but one of the out
standing points was that the gas
fame automatically incinerates the
food odOrs when baking several
different type foods at the same
| time.
