With Ashland’s 1940 version of its traditional July 4 celebration already an assured success both finan cially and from an entertainment standpoint, residents have reason to be proud of their community and citi zens. The celebration demanded and got, almost without exception, extensive cooperation between all city de partments, business and professional men, organiza tions and residents. That accomplishment in itself is important and reassuring. Any community with such a cleavage unto itself cannot help but go forward. There could be no more appropriate way of paying respect to purpose of Independence day than such a demonstration of peaceful, purposeful cooperation on the part of an entire community. ★ ★ ★ HERE’S HOPING THE DEMOCRATS PROFIT BY THE BUNGLING OF THEIR RIVALS! For better or worse, the republicans have taken unto their bosom Wendell Willkie and Charlie Mc Nary. That their taste in candidates is better than their selection in platforms is conceded. However meritorious their presidential and vice presidential candidates, the GOP certainly behaved badly during their convention and if the democrats do as indulgent and unpatriotic a job, then heaven help a democracy in times like these! Although The Miner will admit—if pressed enough —that good republicans do exist, we must insist that the Philadelphia convention was discouraging to sin cere republican voters anxious to rally behind com petent leadership. The nominating spree was a babel of fools and loudmouths and most disillusioning to the faithful. It is with prayerful hope, and some misgiving, that this bourbon sheet contemplates the coming demo cratic convention. For years proud of our political af filiations, we fervently beseech democrats in assembly not to embarrass their followers as republican leaders did theirs. in the Matter of the Estate of MARIA J.
