Our Candidate for the Conycn-
ton.

We Will admit in the outset that il
is a work of supererogation for us to
undertake to tell the people of Belmont
county who Judge D. d. j. Cswen is,
the Republican candidate for Delegate |
to the Constitutional Convention.
For years past his name has been
honorably connected with almost every 1
leading law case arising in Eastern
Ohio. He is neithe- chronic Office
holder or ofice-seekeT; preferring to
pursue the regular line of his profess
ional duty, instead of becoming an
adept in political trickery, he has be-
come the Nestor Of the Bar OF Eastern
Ohio.
Shortly after he was admitted to the
bar, about 1919, he was chosen by the
people of this County as Attorney for
the State. He was thrice elected, hold
ing the Office for six successive years.
At the outbreak of the war he was
active in assisting in raising troops,
and was together with Col. Dan Nc
Cook the organizer of the Fifty-Second
Ohio, of which he became Lieut. Col
onel.
After the war Judge Cowen was ap-
pointed Common Pleas Judge to fill
the unexpired term of Judge Oakley,
which position he filed most ably and
satisfactorily.
Upon the expiration of his Judicial
term, he resumed the practice of the
law. ....- ..... --..
While Judge Governs public life has
been characterized by fidelity and an
able and faithful discharge of duty, yet,
it is not there that he has achieved his
greatest successes.
A master Of the principles of law, he
is not stranger to its subtleties. Ex-
haustive in his research he ilIumines
the course of Judicial Investigation
with the opinions of the ablest states,
men and jurists.
At the forum, he does not surprise
his antagonist by skillful secret device
or trick, but by the boldnesS Of his po.
sition and power Of his logic.
Our legal friends, will consider it nc
disparagement, when we characterize
Judge Cowen as pre-eminently the
ablest lawyer in Eastern Ohio.
But it is not this alone that specially
qualities him to represent US in The
coming Constitutional Convention.
He is acquainted with not only The
imperfections of our Judicial System
but has comprehensive idea of all tht
important questions which are likely
to arise in that Convention.
He knows and realizes the wants O
the Agricultural classes. lie realize
the importance of the protection of Gu
home industries.
He comprehends the necessity of
judicious modification of our Common
School System.
We confidently assert that if elected
there will be no one in that able bod,
who will watch with more assidiou
care the interests of the people, no
ono who will reflect greater credi
upon his constituents, than Judge L
ID. L. Cowen.

There are now six Republics in Eu-
rope-namely, Switzerland, France,
Spain, and the little Alpine Republic
of San Marino, thu oldest and smallest
in the world (twenty 1.-TWO miles square),
which has maintained its independ-
ence and its 'selfgovernment for four
hundred years; also, Andorra, a small
Republic in the Businesses of the Pyr-
eneeS, between Spain and France,
which has maintained its independ-
ence and self-government since 1S4S;
and, besides these, the three islands of
jersey, Gurnsey, and Sark, lying be-
tween England and France, have for
many years been virtually self-govern-
ed. The republican leaven having thus
fairly commenced working in the poll
tics of Europe, we are encouraged to
hope that it will ere many years leav-
en- the whole lump.

Says a Washington letter: ''There
is not a vestige of the former man left
in Chief Justice Chase. His most init.
mate friends do not recognize him,
From the handsome, smooth-faced
1 portly man, he has become a tall, heavy
thin man, with yellow beard; his
mind is clear, but his voice is weak
and his lips culver from paralysis. He
goes about, the ghost of his former
