Decoration day was for years Prescribed in Eastern cities as the first day on which a man could wear a straw hat with impunity and Labor day in the same manner saw the katy put away in moth balls to await the passing of an- other winter season. A Casper merchant who returned yesterday from Kansas City and St. Louls volunteered the informa- tion that straws were being worn freely in both metropolises. Hence the native who broke the ice this morning may not be out of style. canteen Ministers Meet Monday Morning The Casper Ministerial assoctation will hold its monthly meeting at 10 o'clock Monday morning in the Methodist church.

The face value of the paper amounted to about a quarter of a million dollars, but their worth was nil in the eyes of the law.

But nobody here ts assuming that the Democratic nomination is as- sured to any candidate and the talk from New York state about Gover- nor Al Smith has really stirred up more comment here in the last few days than anything else. The Smith boom is frankly regarded as a ser- ious one and no two people engaged activel yin politics here seem to be agreed about the direction the boom will take. Several Republicans are secretly hoping the Democrats will not name Al Smith because they appreciate what a complicated campaign would ensue. Party lines might be broken by religious ties. A bitter struggle would be bound to ensue with re- spect to the wet and dry issue. The friends of President Coolidge hope neither the religious nor the proht- bition issue will be raised.

Mr. Carl came here recently to enter in the business with which his nephew is connected, that of operat- ing three up-to-date and progressive grocery stores. These establish ments have been operated under the names of the Blue Front, Grant street and Central, groceries and markets. The business has just | been incorporated under the name | of the B. R.

He has been in business in Paton for years and comes to Casper with Perfect confidence in the future of Casper. Mr. Williams has been in business in Casper for 10 years. He'at one time was joint proprietor with W. H. Brown in the Blue Front Market and Grocery when it was located on tho site now used for the Frantz Shop.

Even inside the Democratic party that phase of the contest is causing embarrass- ment today. Democrats who favor Al Smith are saying they think the only real opposition {s coming from those who object to the fact that Al Smith ts a Catholic, They do not regard the argument that he is “wet” as being the sole reason for opposition. Influenced as they are by an admiration for the New York governor and his vote get ting strength in the east, they will not accept arguments about religion or prohibition with much grace Whatever the outcome, there is bound to be a certain amount of dls affection, all of which {s not dis pleasing to the Republicans, Until recently the possibility of nominating Al Smith was dismissed as absurd. In the last few days the readiness of prominent protestants and anti-Tammany men like Frank lin D. Roosevelt to take up the cud gels for the New York governor has made ‘politicians realize they will have on their hands at the Demo. cratic convention two big issues— religion and prohibition, In any other year, a fight on religious pre- fJudices would be frankly regarded by men of all faith as unfortunate, The persons who have been the sub- ject of criticism by such organiza- tions as the Ku Klux Klan are ach ing for an opportunity to strike back at their opponents and they would like nothing better than an open fight. Some of the anti-Smith men who are sympathetic with the effort of Democrats to put thru a platform plank denouncing the Ku Klux Klan think the most effective way to fight that organization is not with a Catholic but with a protestant. The fight that Senator Underwood of Alabama is making against the Klan is pointed to as much more convince ing and effective strategy and one more likely to win wide support than a straight fight between men of the particular creeds denounced by the K. K, K. The nomination of Al Smith may not come to pass for various reasons apart from his religion but his sup- porters will probably not be content uritil they have committed the Democratis national convention and its candidate to an absolute repudia- tion of the Ku Klux Klan.
