HIGHLY HONoRED

No man has ever been more highly
honored in n campaign than Governor
Cox is being honored In this one. His
enemies have unconsclously paid him
a higher tribute than IL paid TO most
men who are candidates for Office.
This tribute comes about through
making the governor. himself, rather
than his administration and the laws
enacted under his administration, the
issue, Certainly II Is the first time
In the history of this state that II has
been done.
More Legislation has been passed un
der Governor Cox's administration
than under any other since the state
entered the union. That is because
the recently adopted constitution
made mandatory the passing OF many
laws. These many laws were progres
sive--along entirely new lines In some
instances. They are attracting AZ
tention all over the United States.
Yet these laws are not being openl,
opposed by the opponents of the gov
ernor II is the governor himself
mind you, that Is the Issue. In onl,
two instances do the opponents urge
sven notifications OF the laws. The,
do assert that tax assessors should b'
elected or appointed by local ofiicial
and that the liquor licenses should b.
granted by elective officers. OF thos'

SAVE THE SUPREME COURT

Realizing his desperate straits and
the impossibility of his own election,
in order to make good with the liza
bility insurance companies and the
special interests backing his cam
paign, Frank b. Willis has attacked
the integrity of the supreme court of
Ohio.
Mis-statement and falsehood have
been nailed. The state auditor has
disproven the charge OF a treasury
deficit, by officially stating that Ohio
now has over seven and One-half mil
lion dollars in the treasury, the larg-
est cash balance in the history of the
state. Not only this but he says
there will be no deficit so long as he
is auditor. Then Adjutant General
Wood has nailed another one, when
he shows that the only two commits
sions Of the last two years, that ne
cessitated additional office space were
made under the constitutional amend
ments for civil service and liquor H.
cense, and that of the other references
to outside office buildings, every Office
was created and established under the
preceding administrations, beginning
with the time of Republican Governor
Nash.
Driven to the last stand, Willis is
trying to save the supreme court, in
an apparent effort to save to his sup
porters means toward an end, which
he knows cannot be accomplished
through the legislature as long as
James NJ. Cox is governor. Is 1t pos
sible that he IL so pledged to the sup
port OF the liability companies that he
hopes to encompass the defeat OF
Hugh l.. Nichols, J. Foster WiIkin and
Phil NJ. Grow, and open the way for
an attack on the workmen's compensa
ton? There Is no other solution wher
supreme court came on the day fol
lowing the holding for trial, for mis-
conduct in the handling of state funds
OF Isaac II. Cameron, former state
treasurer, to help whom Mr.. Willis
voted in white wash" report. Th,
connection is too evident.
The Republican managers have M
hope whatever for the election o
Frank II. Willis for governor The.
have less hope for the election o
Warren g. Harding for senator. Blu
they do hope for the election of Re
publican judges, and are bending ev
cry effort toward that end.

ABOUT LAW ENFORCEMENT

Among the many things that have
been said about Governor James M.
Cox. there has not yet been said by
anyone that he does not enforce the
laws, for II Is clear that he does do
so. Here IL what the governor says
about the subject OF law enforcement: |:
1T is well to call attention to
my record for law enforcement.
That record is such that 1t Is not
necessary for me to state that |
will enforce the law, but | will
make the statement anyway and
assure my friends and my enemies
that the laws of this state will be
enforced In keeping with the man
date of the people If you do not
want the law enforced do not put

have such regard for my oath of
Office that | shall enforce to the

acted, either by the legislature or
by the people"

PROTECTING THE WIDOW

The widow of Jacob Rosensteel at
Niles has just been saved the sum Of
$1,000 by the operation of the compul-
sorry workmen's compensation law,
which was given to Ohio under the
present administration. This act was
done arbitrarily by the industrial COM
mission. which defeated the tactics of
n liability company, which had already
made agreement with the widow TO
settle for $I,700 Tho widow had ac-
copied the proposition of settlement
in ignorance of her rights under the
law,
Jacob S. Rosensteel was injured at
work and died. The Niles Forge and
Manufacturing company had come
under the law by filing bond. but car.

ance Company. This company effect

mission was notified OF the amount ia

and the full amount OF death claim

allowed.
