The Republican national convention
staged almost as startling an upset
as has been seen on some of the bat-
tlefields of Europe and in matters of
diplomacy there A man has been
nominated whom the old party lead-
ers did not want, and it remains to
foe seen how the whole thing comes
out. A big difference is seen in what
they have now and in what they had
in Herbert Hoover or Calvin Cool-
idge. In these instances the leaders
told the president what to do, and
he did it But if it should be Presi-
dent Wendell Wilkie, then he will
be taking orders from no living man.
Not only that, but he would go into
office without any embarrassing ob-
ligations. He would have been put
there by the vote of the common peo-
ple. and he would be under obliga-
tions to no one except these same
common people.
This new kind of a candidate will
present perplexing problems to the
Republicans, but he will bring to
the campaign a pulsing life that is
greatly needed. Members of the
Democratic party might well regret
Wilkie’s nomination, because he has
better chances than any of the others,
but their wish for the country’s wel-
fare could not keep them from being
pleased over the nomination. Just in
case the Republicans should pull a
fast one and nominate a candidate,
then Willkie would suit, the other
party better than any other man the
Republicans could have put in. In
fact, Wendell was himself a Demo-
crat not so long ago. Even as one
Republican had suggested that the
country go in together and both the
parties nominate Mr. Roosevelt, now
there is a Democrat who thinks his
party might do worse than also to
nominate Willkie.
All this is in a more hopeful mood
than was expressed in this column
last week, w’hen all the sordid party
selfishness was coming out at Phila-
delphia, and when Mr. Hoover was
uttering expressions against the ad-
ministration that in other countries
would have been interpreted as pure
treason. Mr. Hoover expressed the
commendable hope that this country
would be able to avoid war, but this
hope could have been quite apart
from the vicious thrusts made at the
administration. Roosevelt and the
Democrats are no more courting war,
than Mr. Hoover, but the thing is a
matter over which we will not have
much control. The Fort Worth Star-
Telegram called attention to the fact
that all the Republicans in the Sen-
ate voted for the maintenance of the
Monroe Doctrine. Suppose then, that
Hitler should go to work and take
some of the countries in the Western
Hemisphere. And suppose he would
drive our trade from the seas, and
impose upon this nation other humil-
iating terms which we could not ac-
cept and still maintain our national
honor. War in these times of land
grabbing and the unwarranted in-
vasion of small, peaceful countries,
is not something to be accepted or
rejected, according to which politi-
cal party might be in power. The
Republican party has nominated a
patriotic man; and the outlook for
the maintaining of this nation’s i-
deals is much brighter than a week
or so ago. Mr. Willkie may not be
elected, and the chances are that he
will not be. But at the same time,
it is gravely important that the Re-
publican party give its support to a
man of his caliber rather than to
the Hoover type or several others
of his ilk. Congratulations, Repub-
licans. You have greatly contrib-
uted to national unity, at a very im-
portant crisis of our political life.
The party platforms this time are
going to be surprisingly similar. The
presidential candidates are both liber-
als, and unless the platform and the
candidates were labeled carefully,
the average voter might not know
whether he was voting Republican
or Democrat. There will be objec-
tions to either one, which is in line
with the imperfections of this world.
Willkie is a forceful and popular man,
but at the same time lacks a good
deal of perfection. He is a bit like
the Huey Long type, or William E.
Borah, and there may be danger even
in his popular appeal. In view of
the need which this country has at
this time for turning more reverent-
ly toward God, it is regretable that
neither Mr. Roosevelt or Mr. Willkie
are inclined seriously in matters of
religion. Mr. Willkie has some per-
sonal habits that do not fit in well
with the ideas that many have as
to a president’s highest qualifica-
tions. Nevertheless, the chances are
that if a perfect man had been placed
in nomination he would not have ap-
pealed to the average person, who
is by no means perfect himself.
When all of these remarks are in
type we find an article from William
Allen White that might have ex-
pressed our sentiments better and in
a shorter space. At the risk of re-

pitition we give one brief parapraph
from Will’s graphic little description.
Mr. White says; "But most of all,
I'm proud of the rank and file of
the Republican party, who rose in
righteous wrath to smash the two-bit
professional politicians, small-eyed,
rat-minded little men who had al-
ready smeared their party's platform
with the slime of obsequious con-
ciliation to Fascism in the hope of
coaxing in a few of the fifth-column
votes; and this rank and file de-
i manded a four-square, two-fisted de-
mocratic American leadership which
a major American party is entitled
to expect in thi3 world crisis of
Democracy.”

Seymour will be very ably repre-
sented at the Texas Health Festival
which is to be held in Mineral Wells
on July 11-14 Our town will be
represented by Miss Emmett Temple,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. F. Tem-
ple. Miss Emmett has been in beauty
contests before, and has not turned
out badly- in any of them. The win-
ner at Mineral Wells will receive a |
trip to Atlantic City, where Miss |
America will be chosen. This will
be the fourth year for the Health
Festival, and it has now grown to
such proportions that a manager and
a press agent have become necessary.

They have begun housekeeping at
the E. A. Syptak old place in the
north part of town.
The bride has lived at Oklaunion
all her life. After finishing school
there she attended Decatur college,
and it was there she met Mr Cooper,
when he was also in school there.
During the past winter she has been
attending Teachers College at Den-

Baylor county and the crew has gone

The work consisted In taking up

then attended Decatur College for
two years. While there he made a

huge excavating machine was used
for this purpose. The pipe was laid

again.
Lots of oil has gone through the
Shell pipe line since it was routed
through this county, but that would
not be the main thing that causes
the pipe to corrode. Strange as it
may seem, they say that electricity
is the main reason why pits and holes
have come in the pipe.
