Mother" spitomiZes the struggles
that are going on in millions of homes

of eight, but has lost two of them.
She is a plain little woman, whose

to many famous playwrights and ac-

critics, he is doing the most powerful
acting of his career. His Richard

with a display of self-restraint that
represents the ideal of stoicism, toss,

outward calmness the slow develop

over; that the business interests would
rush to him as conservative candidate
and his election was sure TO result
That is the feeling that is spreading
over the nation and it is our firm opin-
ion that all democrats will soon be
unanimously in favor of the Ohio gov
ernor. Democracy is going to elect the
next president, not merely honor some
man with the nomination, and must
select an available man. Without even
remotely rejecting upon any gentle
man who aspires to the nomination
we feel that there is but one man who
absolutely fills the bill and that man
is Gov. JudSon Harmon, OF Ohio.
