He stated that foreign countries had' passed leg­ islation favorably to the debtor class, while the United States had favored only the creditor class. Farmers In European countries are more pros­ perous now 'than they have ever been except during the years of the World war. The reason for their prosperity is that they have been able to pay off their debts with monetary units of comparatively low value. “A t the present rate of increase, in 25 yean, the interest, on the public debt o f the United States will exceed the total national income.

The affirmative vote was a surprise to wets and drys, the letter having less leadership than n the Republican convention, where approval o f prohibition was denied. The .Rtoosevelt forces took com­ mand from the opening and selected Sen. Wialsh as chairman over the op­ position lead by A1 Smith. All indications point to Roosevelt being nominated with a combination with the Garner forces, the latter for vice president. The convention turned down the proposition for payment o f the sol­ dier’s bonus. The McAdeo plan for guarantee o f bank deposits was also defeated. Both upon vote following minority reports of the . resolutions committee. The platform is said to be the shortest every adopted by any convention in this country* Marshall’s Views On Wet-Dry Plank Very Unsatisfactory To Dtys The Democratic convention holds public attention this week. The people of this country always arp interested in such events regardless of party. It seems the people look upon such con­ ventions much like a great football contest, a prize fight or reports from the front during war. The public ex­ pects to be thrilled. The only topic In the two' conventions this year that is commanding attention is prohibition, resubmission or repeal. Even though some eight million men ore unemploy­ ed and factories are down, economic problems need Solution, the nation is more interested in the wet-or dry is­ sue. One feature o f interest to Us in the Democratic convention is the two- thirds rule, a successful candidate to nominate must have two-thirds of the delegates. The Republicans only re­ quire a majority vote. Our Democrat­ ic bretheto were much disturbed over this rule and the Roosevelt forces pro­ posed a change hut it was dropped. Had Roosevelt the majority rule he had more than enough delegates to his friends wanted the old rule. Four win the nomination. A1 Smith aind years ago those that fought for the change in rqjee are the ones that op posed it this year. Such is the fortune of politics.

XENIA, June 26—- Former State Senator L. T. ^Marshall, Republican congressional candidate in the seventh district, is non-committal in the mat­ ter o f his personal feeling towards his party’s attitude on prohibition. , Asked whether he would support that stand as expressed in the plat­ form adopted at the national conven­ tion, Mr. Marshall, long a dry, and , author of the famous “Marshall bill” while he waB a. member "of the state senate, had “nothing to say.” Although declinging to comment on the prohibition plank, and his person­ al attitude toward his party against the charge o f “ straddling” in the mat­ ter* The stand taken he said, he con­ sidered “ very definite and certain,?’ He referred to the specification in the prohibition plank that no public official or member of the partyf’should be pledged or forced to choose be­ tween his party affiliations |hd his honest convictions upon this Subject.’ ’ — Springfield Sun The above will be interesting to all those that passed the marked ballots for Marshall in the primary as “ sat- j^gajetory.” Marshall is looking for a way to let the drys down as.jeasy as possible.
