All Had a Mind to Work
The much labor in the preparation
for the three days' home coming
carnival, which was so successfully
put over by the patriotic citizens of
Greenwood, required that all assist
as much as possible, and they did it
and without stinting, for all were
very enthusiastic in their efforts for
the welfare of the city. The people
who were minded to work, and they
were many, turned out and made a
very fine showing with the erection
of the platform for the dance pavil
ion, and all the other work which
was required. 5 .'

Now York, Aug. 7. Frauk W
Murphy of Minnesota, one of the
important leaders of the farm inter
ests of the northwest and a delegate
to the republican national conven
tion in Kansas City, sent a message
to the democratic national committee
today in support of Governor Smiths-
candidacy for president.
Mr. Murphy, who spoke on the
floor of the republican conventioi
warning that failure to adopt a farm
relief plang would drive the farmerr
out of the party, condemned Herbert
Hoover as unsympathetic and un
friendly toward agriculture and said
that the democratic 'platform ant1
Governor Smith have given a definite
pledge to help the suffering farm in
dustry. Mr. Murphy's action in bolting the
republican party is directly in line
with the endorsement of Governoi
Smith by. George N. Peek of Illinois
also a republican, and chairman of
the committee of 22 representing 11
states concerned with the farm issue
It gave rise to enthusiasm at de
mocratic headquarters, where it was
felt that there is an exceptiona1
chance of winning the voters in the
farm belt states.

Wlioaton. Minn.. Anp:. 7. Frank
W. Murphy refused tonight to deny
or affirm a report from New York

for president, saying "too much car
be read into my statement."
The statement was one he sent
today to the democratic national com
mittee in which he repeated his op
position to Herbert Hoover, the re
publican nominee for president, be
cause of "his unfriendly attitude to
ward agriculture." World-Herald
