FOR VICE-PRESIDENT
CHARLES G. DAWES
of Iliiw/U
AN APPEAL TO PREJUDICE
It doesn't take a learned statesman, an
educated man or a great scholar to realize
that moch of the fpeeeh of acceptance of John
W. Davw was inaineere. It wa* able, gra/reful
and in aorne part* even brilliant, such as one
w/jW expeet from an able, adroit lawyer,
building a ca*e when there wan so little to
baild on. In //>me reupect* hi* Kpeecb wa«. far
beneath that of a man capable of being pre*i-
dent of these United State- in that he insin-
uated that President CooUdge, if not himself
gohty of wrong doing, he at least condones
it. Candidate Davis will not get very far with
such tactic*, for the- American people, regard-
less of their political belief*, know that Calvin
Coolidge in a* honest and a* feaiie*« and cour-
ageous as Lincoln wax.
Note this statement from the speech of
John W, Davis;
"The Washington Conference; alone aside,
are' that of MORE THAN* DOUBTFUL VAI^
UK, what single contribution has the United
States of America, a* an organized nation
among nations, made to world peace in the
last four year*?" $
EveryUxly who known anything at all
knows that John \V. Davis i.« too intelligent
to BKL1EVE that the Washington Confer-
ence- was of doubtful value. A* a matter of
fact—and a fact that iu admitted by leading
statesmen of every nation in the world, trie
Wa-hington Conference wax the greatest single
*tep toward maintaining the peace "J nations,
an<J if that. confemice had not been held it is
not. at all Improbable that the world would
have been '*r" vhed with blood a {fain by thin
time, for there wat an unprecedented rivalry
for naval xupretnacy at the time that confer-
ew": w;-. < called.
President Coolidge, in his speech of ac-
ceptance, Kaid the Conference wan "the one
effective agreement amon? great naval powers
In all the history of civilization for reliev-
ing the jwople of the earth from the enormous
burden of rmdnfaining competitive naval arma-
ments," The Baltimore Sun, one of the ablest
Democratic newapapers in the country agrees
with Pff-Kident Coolidge. It «ay« editorially,
"We agroe with the Prealdent that the Wash-
ington Conference wan a great achievement
arjd disagree with Mr. Davis' belief that it
wan of doubtful value,"
The only fault to find with the Sun'n state-
ment in that it. r<-f'TH to ".Mr. Davis' belief,"
when it ought to know that Mr. Davis did not
express hi* belief at all. Tn that statement
Mr. Davis was playing petty politics and noth-
ing else. And if he would deliberately try to
deceive in one instance, is it not logical to con-
clude that he would deceive in others?
Mr. Davis has recently made a fine, high
noun/ling statement against the Ku Klux Klan,
but does he mean iust what he says? Is it
not fK)SKible that the Democratic candidate
KNOWS that, he will get the solid South re-
gardless of what he may say for or against
the Klan. and that he became convinced that
a firm "tand against the hooded order in the
North. Fa t and. We t would get him many
votes that be otherwise would not

The gentleman pictured
above kas been on the road
a Vm% tiaie, bat he expects
to keep right on coming un-
til he get.® to the Harmon
Ceuty Fair, which will
open September 11th and
bat three days.

their place decorated. GflMcfcr -
have agreed Vj get a lot of iTajz--
and Forbis k Stone have al-
ready ordered a k>t of red,
white and blue banting. *
If everybody does his or her
part September 12th will be
one of the biggest days ever
had in Harmon county.
Use Post-Herald wants ads.
LET* GO AFTER BUSINESS
.Some time ago the Clinton Chronicler con-
tained the following hem:
"At a rr.eet:jsg of merchants 3londay
an advertising campaign was mapped oat
whereby adjoining counties might be thor-
ough!;/ billed with po-srters relative to
monthly trades days here. Tne plan is to
put oat a 4-page Mil carrying the ads of
merchant*, each merchant to feature one
bargains for trades day and then carry
whatever other advertising that he wishes.
These bills will be maLed oat on rural
routes in Caster, Washita, Roger Mills,
Dewey, Beckham and Caddo counties. This
will he effective advertising which will
W!d>rn Linton's trade territory. Ointon
must extend its trade borders if it grows
and this plan is an attempt along that line
that appears feasible."
It isn't expected that Hollis could advertise
in adjoining counties and get very big results,
except that a part of Jackson, Greer and Col-
lingsworth counties could be circularized with
good results to Hollis.
There is a lot of trade north of the river
that should come to Hollis that don't come;
Hollis could attract trade from down around
Duke, over in the Blake, Russell and Central-
vue communities, over around Dodsonville and
Arlie and in the Hoolyann communities, and
above all the merchants of Hollis could get
more business from the people who live right
around Hollis if they would use more publicity.
The Post-Herald has never been very
strong for "Trades' Days." This paper believes
much stronger in a sustained effort to attract
people to the town.
Have good goj*ls, make the price right, and
then tell the world about it—not once a year,
but keep telling them about it week after
week.
The best way in the world to keep the
minds of people off the mail order catalog is
to have an attractively written and illustrated
ad to present to them each week. Carry goods
vi oith the money, invite folks to your store,
treat them right and they will come back again
and again.
This paper stands for the Home Merchant
every time, but it also wants the folks to get
goods that are worth the money.
There isn't any reason in the world why
Hollis can't sell just as cheap as Altus, Man-
gum, Wellington, Quanah, or Childress—in
fact, rents in those towns are much higher
than they are here, and if anything Hollis
should be able to sell the same goods for less
money, and if that is done, and the INVITA-
TION* is extended to all the folks hereabout
for thirty or forty miles Hollis ought to enjoy
a wonderful business this falL
The Post-Herald is ready and anxiou.s to
help the business men of Hollis send out word
that Hollis has the goods, makes the right
•onces and treats the folks right, and wauls
them to come here to trade.
No one who has followed the antics of Wil-
liam Jennings Bryan the last thirty years will
be surprised to learn that he was unequovical-
ly opposed to John Davis for President until
his brother received the nomination for Vice.
To make an al>out face on any issue in less
time than it takes to tell it is a characteristic
of the Grand Old Man of the Democratic party.
Hollis will be honored the first part of
September by the remnant of the Grand Army
that fought under Lee, Jackson and the John-
stons and Longstreet. These old heros will not
attend many more reunions on this earth. Let
every citizen resolve to make this one of the
greatest they have ever held.
