AGAIN ASHLAND’S CITIZENS COME THROUGH
WITH TRADITIONAL UNANIMITY!
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.
