The Republican party nominated
Wendell Lewis Wilkie unanimously
as its 1940 candidate for the Presi
dency of the United States and
Charles L. McNary, as candidate
for vice president, in their National
convention in Philadelphia last Fri
day. The nomination climaxed the con
vention that was called to order at
11 :43 a. m. on Monday of last week,
with 1,000 delegates attending. Not
since 1920 when Warren G. Hard
ing was nominated had there been
such a wide field to choose from in
the Republican party. One year
ago Wilkie was mentioned as a
"dark horse."
In the lisrht of political experience
Mr. Wilkie's nomination was im
possible. He has voted the Republi
can ticket onlv four vears and has
been registered with the party for
only one. He has never beeen in
politics or sought or held political
office. He is an executive in the
utilities business, which the New
Deal has chosen as its special
example to prove the needs of
drastic regulation of industry.
He is a director of the First
National Bank of New York, a
"Wnll Street Bank." Not until the
day before this convention met did j
Mr. Wilkie form a professional
political group to pilot his campaign..
MRS. CARRIE SHELTON
Funeral services were held on
Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock
for Mrs. Carrie Shelton, 48, former
wife of Joe Shelton, who died at
the home of her mother, Mrs.
Elisabeth Brown, on Jonathan
Creek on Friday afternoon at 2:10
o'clock. The Rev. T. S. Roten of
ficiated. Burial was in Greenhill
cemetery.
Mrs. Shelton is survived by her

Mr. and Mrs. American Consum
er got their first taste of new de
fense taxes on Tuesday the second.
With the midnight arrival of July
1, higher levies went into effect on
future manufacturers of a score
of products.
The floor taxes applied to stocks
already on hand are one-half cent
a package on cigarettes, 75 cents
a gallon on liquor, and $ 1 a barrel
on beer. While the beer tax is not
imposed on stocks of a retailer, it
must be paid by wholesalers and
brewers on all stocks.
Conirress levied these taxes so
that merchants who bought up su-
plies in anticipation of the increase
would have to pay just the same.
The treasury expects to collect $4,-
800,000 from the floor tax on ciga
rettes and S19.800.000 from that
on liquor and beer.
Patrons of the local movie theat
re will have to pay 28 cents for ad
mission, where they have been pay
ing 25 cents. The tax of one cent
on every ten cents of an admission
feet will start with 21 cents now
instead of 41 cents, as formerly.
Toilet preparations from 10 to
41 per cent, automobiles 3 to 314
per cent; radios, 5 to 5Vj per cent;
nioclinniciil refrigerators, 5 to 5 Vi
per cent; matches, 5 to 5 ',4 per
cent a thousand; electrical energy,
3 to 3'i per 'cent; gasoline, 1 to 1 Vi
cents a gallon; lubricating oil, 4
to 4'i cents a gallon; playing
cards 10 to 11 cents a pack; club
dues and initiation fees, 10 to 11
per cent.
These "nuisance taxes" are ex
pected to produce about $175,000,
nnn ,,f thn billion dollars of new
revenue expected annually from the
defense tax bill.
