Since Vice President CURTIS took at Topeka the Dry side of the Republican platform, the Democrats have a balance for Republican attacks on their own nominee for second place. Whenever Republicans from now on talk to the East about Mr. GARNER being a "radical" who would pour private and public moneys into pork-barreis, the Democrats can retort that Mr. CURTIS is a "Dry."
THIS is a profound book, and one that is vital and vigorous from the first page to the last. Though it lacks the massed bulk of illustration and example which supported Spengler's "Decline of the Western World," in the depth and impact of its ideas it is no less thought-provoking and potential in its influence than the famous work which proclaimed the doom of our civilization.

1932Melvin Van Peebles, American actor, director, and screenwriter (died 2021)[†]
Melvin Van Peebles was an American actor, filmmaker, writer, and composer. His feature film debut, The Story of a Three-Day Pass (1967), was based on his own French-language novel La Permission and was shot in France, as it was difficult for a black American director to get work at the time. The film won an award at the San Francisco International Film Festival which gained him the interest of Hollywood studios, leading to his American feature debut Watermelon Man, in 1970. Eschewing further overtures from Hollywood, he used the successes he had so far to bankroll his work as an independent filmmaker.
