No one else, as far as the local people seem to be thinking, can come close to the man from Illi nois, despite the entry Into the race of Uie manic name of Roose velt and the strong bids being made Ov Harrlman and Kerr. Kefauver, who made such a good personal showing here a few month ago. will make about the same amount of noise that one of his small children would if the child was beating on his father s coon skin can with a lamb s tail. No one gives the aflable Tennessee talker an outside chance for the nomination, or the nod for second spot on the ticket. Basin Democrats are faintly dis gusted with the ruckus their party is stirring up in Chicago, some what rueful over ail the Jeering thev did at the Republicans, when thev promised that their conven tion would be different. There Is a great deal of interest In the convention doings, newspa pers are scanned eagerly and ev erv available spare moment is spent hanging over a radio listen ing to some of the thunderous speeches that pour out like water out of a pipe. About all that is needed now are few torch light parades, a couple of kegs of whisky set uo on trestles in front of the convention hall, a few fist fights and dog fichts and it would look like an old fashioned convention. Talked to a lot of people yee terdav and found all but two throwing their money on Steven son. One of the holdouts was Tony 8tevskal from Malip. Tony is bet ting on HarTiman to be the big man this November. The other was Bus Thompson, tar salesman when there are an- cars to sell" who thinks that Kefauver will sneak under the wire on the basis of his vigorous campaigning and his anti-crime tactics that first put caught infiiSopFl "T. TbTdb ADDISON ' -;. -' ; See by the paper that the city of Tacoma is still without a news paper. After a 14-week stalemate the management and pressmen set tled their difficulties. Before publi cation could start the thing was snarled up again by the reporters' Guild. ' All of which brings to mind con versations with Harry Lynch, the paper's veteran advertising direc tor, late in May . . . and what happens when a town goes without a newspaper. Harry was telling us. at an ad manager's meeting, how the shut down had affected business. He promised to keep a record of con ditions and send them along to us. The report came in a couple of days ago. Harry's report, in the form of letters from business leaders, shows that plain old everyday newspaper advertising like the water when the well goes dry Is missed. In spite of turning to all the more glamorous and "cheaper" forms of advertising, here are some of the things that happened: DEMOCRACY KLAMATH FALLS Aristotle gave us the theoretical Justification of democratic principles in organ izations, in education of people and their general social life In these words: "For the many, of whom each individual is but an ordinary person, when they meet together may very likely be better than the few good, if regarded not Individ ually but collectively . . . For each Individual among the many has a share of virtue and prudence, and when they meet together they be come in a manner one man, who has many feet, and hands and senses: that Is a figure of their mind and disposition. Hence the many are better Judges than a sin gle man; for some understand one part, and some another, and among them they understand the whole." The great question before the world today Is, are the people going to act upon the proposition that the theory Is sound. All other questions are significant only In proportion they are a part of that, the main question. It is clearly demonstrated that neither the Republican Party or the Democratic Parly have upheld the principle supported by Aris totle's theory, either In their In ternal affairs or in the operaUon of the government, How they are failing in this, is the most talked abmt subject In the world. What are the people voluntarily supporting those organizations, or any other organizations with a sim ilar record, going to do abut it? That is not merely a moral ques tion that confronts Ihem, it is the moral question that history is shov ing at every organization and ev ery individual. Of course, ihe first thing everv- one ought to do Is lo examine the theory Itself. History has' proven time and time agnln that the theory Is sound, that the opposing theory that the best decisions and the greatest collective virtue develops when a few control things, as ar gued by Plato and upheld by ClceVo Calhoun and Hitler, is unsound. But moat of the accounts of history he average person has read have been falsified until thev tend to make the theory advanced by Plato seem BIU, JENKINS Msnaging Editor JENKINS him in the national limelight. Emmetl Slsemore from Fort Klamath puts his faith m Steven son, but the mam theme of his comments was that he wishes the radios up Fort Klamath wav would work better so he could listen to more of the convention. Maybe he ought to get together with Happy Jack Rockw ell, of KFJI, who is also ; betting on Stevenson. I There are a lot of people who fear for the success of Ike Vorn Schortgen. for instance, is a Lem 'ocrat who is swearing he'll vote the Republican nominee this year. But he's afraid that Ike Is being ripped to pieces over ha reversals on foreign oolicy. And plenty of people are still worried that there might be an other '4$ In the offing. Too much confidence can lead only to defeat Anvwav. it won't be long now. About six ballots and we ll know who will face the general In the November vote. If there are anv public spirited cltisens who are handy with a paint brush, wno have a meiat boat, a 'folding stretcher, grappling hooks, I first aid equiDment or anvthing I along that line thev should get in itmirh with Buster Gordon at the Suourban fire department. He needs a truck painted and equipped ac s rescue CAT It all started when Keith O'Hair presented the department with an old Ford hearse that had been re tired. So Buster wants to rig It up I as a rescue car. Not an imou- lance. out an emergency rig io oe used in drownings, firea, wrecks, etc. Farmer's' Lumber has already donated the flooring for the rig. the mechanical repairs necessary will be made by the fire laddies themselves, but the rig needs a paint job and the equipment. If vou want to help out call Bus ter at 7745. He'll appreciate it and ro will the manv who will be aid ed by the truck in the future. The Retail Trade Bureau aban doned "United Tacoma Days" . . . A Realtor reported that his busi ness dropped 60 per cent . . . Thea ter attendance ".experienced a tre mendous drop"'. , . Attendance at a dance hall fell one third , . . The florist business received "an awful jolt'' and nobody was going to funerals ... A drug store re ported that "this one department shows a $6,000 loss for the week" . . . A food store manager took to circulars but said "I'll always know in the future that newspaper advertising is not expensive" . . . A men's store business dropped 20 per cent ... A sewing machine center lost $2,000 in two months . . . and so on. All of this, of course, is a plug for newspaper advertising that everyday business that you've al ways known about, and never miss until the well goes dry. It doesn't mention all the other problems that would confront a community should it suddenly have to do without its newspaper. This column hopes that the well, here, never goes dry. sound and the one advanced by Aristotle seem unsound. Some peo ple think history Is dry and un interesting, yet here we ind that, I nearly zsoo years after their time, the world has become divided squarely in the way that Is forcing the question upon which Plato and Aristotle were irreconcilably op-, posed to the forefront until all oth er questions become merely sub sidiary ones. And when these peo ple learn to turn to a careful check of history to learn the answer t social theory and principles they will find it becomes interesting, and that properly searched, It will always yield up the right answer on what must be done. . O. O. Womack MANNERS AND THE GOP KLAMATH FALLS My good friend Bill Jenkins quoted me (Tuesday) as being strongly be hind Kefauver. Bill merely asked me whom I thought would win the Democratic nomination, and I re plied Kefauver. Let it be known (hat t am not a Democrat and that X will vote and support Ike. The reason for this letter Is that some Impolite and rude Republi can lady called me on the phone and mentioned the Item to me, and said she was sending It to Gover nor McKay: and "that's what we get for voting for a thing like you." Then, before I could explain she hung up. without the courage to give her name. I would therefore like to use the i editorial column of your paper to set tne isoy rignt, and to inform her that I am sorry thst a person with her manners belongs to the great end glorious party of the re public.

They and their silly old delusions of masculine suDerlor.M ill? I guess I had better begin from the beginning, honey. Anyway, po litical conventions are now like baseball parks. They have a "lad ies day" just to prove they recog nize the existence of two sexes. The leading female politicians are invited to speak. And Tuesday afternoon the Donkey delegates neara or. i might say, should have heard Perla Mesta, minister to Luxembourg, Eugenia A. Ander son, ambassador to Denmark, and Georgia Neese Clark, treasurer of the United States. , These ladies just looked slmnlv lovely. I would hate to say how much they must have spent on new hair-dos and gowns. It was the big moment of four years for them a kind of middle-aged junior prom.

It seems to say: "If vou can't think of anv other effective arguments. scare 'em to. death." The Republican Partv Is not the pariy of economic depression, any more than the Democratic Party is the party of war. though the regimes of each have correspond :cd with those two great catastro- phles in the last 'JO years, i No responsible Democrat ever blames former President Hoover I lor the 10.10 depression anv more, ; though manv naturally insist em phatically that he did not . meet that crista well. i No s o b e r-ni I n d t d Republican blamed the Democrats for the rise ol Hitler, and for . the war he launched upon Uie world. To charge any American political par ity with seeking to thrust us Into I war Is to lunge toward tha ex tremes of Irresponsibility. , Haven't we had enough of scare campaigning? No one familiar with our traditions expects our politic! candidates to make their apocala wholly calm and rational. Emo tion and exaggeration -are Inevita bly a part of campaign exhorta tions In this country. But to hold out the prospect of economic or military ruin as Uie alternative to the -triumph of one candidate or the other is unforgivable demotion uery. 1 Nobody but a fanatic would .con sciously atrlve to plunge this na tion Into any kind of disaster. Both major parties, It goes without say ing are clenrlv wedded to policies they believe serve the welfare of the United States. We mav argue we should argue long and loud which party'a poli cies will reallv do the Job best In the four years ahead. But let no candidate argue that his defeat spells for Americana either death on the battlefield or shivering In a bread line. . America haa survived weak pres. ldents In both parties. It needs no saviors. Indeed, It ought to be saved from anv man who sees him self as the only barrier to' military or economic ruin.

Union Labor Ranks Split Over Barkley Candidacy lly DON Wliniillti.U) CHICAGO i.fi Union labor ranks were ripped apart Weilnea. day by angry and bitter discord over the sudden dmupiug of Vice rrrsiaent Allien Barklry as a Dem ocratic presidential candidate.

But this Lewis aiivrr was only part n( a story of backstage man euvers, political coalitions and di visions which have been boiling beneath the surface ol this 31st Democratic National Convention. And It was. in part at least, the story of the struggle between Dem ocratic factions to name the party nominee. There was some talk the Balk ley boom might be revived. But It may be Just talk. Barkley will go to the convention hall Wednesday night for the first time and address the delegates. What effect this address might have on the selection of a nominee, no one could foresee. The lid was blown olf Tuesday night when Lewis icorntully ac cused union traders Walter Reu ther. George Harrison and Jack Kroll of intrigue to torpedo Barkley on the Lisue of age. Barkley Is 74 Just two yeara older than Lewis. "The sell-anointed political lead en of lauor who took It upon Uiem sclves to attempt to disqualify him Barkley from tho presidency bv reason of his ane obviously were engaged In a small-time political Intrigue with other candidates," Lewis said.
