To Be Lost Needle
Mrs. L. C. Tyus, of this city,
wishes to exonerate an unidenti

biting her several weeks ago. It
was not a bite “going in” but a
needle “soming out,” Mrs. Tyus
explains. The long-lost needle dis-

A Letter From Our Congressman
Capitol Hill,
Washington, D. C.
July 20, 1940.
My dear Constituents'.
I did not attend the convention
in Chicago. I was not a delegate,
so if I had gone, I would have
simply attended in the role of a
spectator, and as I had several
important matters pending here in
Washington before the Depart
ments that concerned people in
our District, I remained here, and
let the radio keep me informed of
the acts of the Convention.
Several things about that con
vention impressed me. I am won
j : had the im
dering if you same
' pressions.
Our great Democratic Party is
now, as it has been since the days
of its founder, Thomas Jefferson,
the party of the Common People,
and its finest record has always
been, made in time of stress or
crisis, when the common every
day American becomes aroused,
puts his shoulder to the wheel,
and cooperates in the effort to
solve the question of the hour.
That Convention of these every
day, common, patriotic Americans
knew what they wanted to do, and
lost no time in doing it. There was
harmony everywhere. The Reso
lutions or Platform Committee
had no fights or bickerings. They
drafted, in my humble opinion,
the finest, clearest and most pow
erful platform ever adopted by
any Party, and did it at once.
When the. time came to nomin
ate a candidate for President, they
did so, by acclamation, on the first
ballot; and they chose a man who
had said he was not a candidate
for the nomination, and who had
not put on any campaign for votes
before the convention. They sim
ply drafted Roosevelt. This was in
such snnrp contract to other con
ventions of both parties. Likewise,
they quickly chose the Vice Presi
dential candidate. Then they ad
journed as they had met,, a united
party with a will to win. They
all seemed imbued with this pri
mary idea — the world faces a
great crisis. Our beloved country,
by the blessing of God, has been
spared the suffering and pain and
hardships that other countries of
th« world are experiencing. We
have a government administered
by a Party that believes in the
rights of the ordinary citizen, and
that Party will not deliver oui
government over to selfish groups
or special interests, but will de
fend us against all efforts to de
stroy the progress we have made:
and likewise, it wfll P^P*"- u "
so that we will be able to defend
ourselves should we be attac ve
by foreign selfish powers, we are
doing well, making progress, and
we mean to keep that way.
I could not help comparing tni*

convention with that of 1924 in
Madison Square Garden, New
York. I was a delegate to that one.
was no unity there. The
Resolutions Committee took days
to draft the platform and we bal
for over two weeks and, of
course, our candidate although a
good one, lost. The issues are clear
cut—it will be the hardest fought
battle in our history. The fight
will be between those believing in
special privileges for vested inter
ests on one side and those who
believe in progressive, free gov
ernment. on the other. Roosevelt
and Wallace wall be elected, de
spite the huge sums of money that
will be expended to defeat them.
I like the Vice Presidential can
didate. He is a scholarly, deep
thinking man, and a tireless
worker. He is one of the best in
formed men I ever saw. Several
weeks ago, Dr. Will W. Alexan
der, then Administrator of the
Farm Security Administration, in
vited me to a dinner and I had
the pleasure of sitting next to Mr.
Wallace. He began talking of
farms and agricultural conditions,
in Georgia and I was surprised at
his intimate and profound knowl
edge. Well, now since the Conven
tions are over, Congress can settle
down and finish our legislative
program. We will meet Monday,
July 22, at noon.
