THE COUNTY TICKET

The election is only a few days off
and indications point to a swee. ing
Democratic victory in Ohio. Knox
county should, and doubtless will, do
her full part in attaining such re-
suit. Everything points that way.
The interest is general and the indi-
cations are that full vote In Knox
county will be polled. This interest
is due to a large extent to the excel
lent county ticket of the Democratic
party. There Is every reason why all
Democrats of Knox county should be
proud Of their county ticket. Most of
the candidates ON the ticket have been
filling Office for single term and are
up for election to their second term.
Their records in Office are before the
people Of Knox county, and they are
records to be proud of. Not q single
word of a derogatory character has
been uttered against any of these can
didates nor against those who are can
didates for the first term, and for the
simple reason that no such words can
be truthfully uttered. With a ticket
made up of such first-class men 1t
should be the pleasant duty of every
Democrat in Knox county to go to the
polls next Tuesday and cast straight
Democratic ticket.

PRESIDENT NEEDS AsHBRook

The letter Of President Wilson to
Mr.. Chas. II. Spencer OF Newark In
which he commends the valuable SER
vice Congressman William A. Ash
brook has rendered at Washington
and the pointing out by President VIII
son of the advantage 1t would be to-
have Mr.. Ashbrook reelected to con-
gress, comes with much force at this
time and should make q deep impress
sion on the voters OF the Seventeenth
district. President Wilson during all
OF the trying period through which he
has been passing has leaned upon
such congressman as Mr.. AshbrOok
and has received much assistance
from them. His letter plainly indi-
Gates that he appreciates the service
Congressman Ashbrook has been to
him and the need he has for him in
the future. The letter also indicates
the important part played by Con-
gressman AshbroOk I'm governmental
affairs, and President Wilson's appeal
for his reelection will not fall on deaf
.ears. President Wilson needs Mr..
Afhbrook in congress and the people
will see that he gets him.

WHEN THE TRUTH PREVAILS

Dayton travelling men, members of
the Gem City Council, have rescinded
their former action In criticism OF Gov
ernor Cox and ordered the criticism
stricken from the records. The origin
al action was based on an editorial
which appeared in the Dayton News
owned by the Governor, The resclnd-
ing resolutions state that the action
was taken without due consideration,
condemn the effort Of certain persons
to make political capital and close
with the statement expressing conf
dence In Governor Cox his sincerity
and purpose.
Inasmuch as the original action was
fostercd and given publicity by the
Republican state organization, 1t is
considered that this last move, knocks
another pillar from under the cam.
palgn OF deceit and hypocrisy which
has been waged against Governor Cox

Democratic Candidate for Repre-
sentative

AS representative in the legislature
from Knox county, Norman Fl. Hunter
has kept the faith. There is yet to be
offered single criticism of any act
or vote Of his during the several ses-
sions of the general assembly. If
representative Hunter had done moth
ing more to commend him, the one
act Of his introducing and securing
the passage of the. pure seed law,
should call for his reelection, as that
one act is much in the interests of the
farmer and the public at large. At
all times Representative Hunter was
a faithful attendant upon the sessions
OF the legislature and in committees
was always found doing his full share
of the work. In all the progressive
legislation that was enacted, his vote
was always right. Knox county has
reason to be proud of the record of
Representative Hunter-a record that
calls for his reelection.

WILSON NEEDS HIM

President Woodrow Wilson needs
Timothy 8. Hogan In the United
States senate. Not only has the
president appealed to Ohio voters to
elect Mr.. Hogan, but the campaign of
his opponent shows the pressing need.
The Republican candidate has frankly
taken q stand in opposition to every
policy of President Wilson, and has
sneered at his peace policy as puerile
and puslllanimous.
Aside from this reason, Timothy 8.
Hogan stands on his own merits as a
candidate for United States senator.
For four years he has been attorney
the best attorney-general Ohio ever
had. He stands four-square to the
world as man who, by his own ef-
forts has risen. The son of coal
miner, educated In the public schools,
he became teacher and institute
worker. He graduated at the Ada uni
versity, and finished his education in
the Ohio University at Athens. He
later became superintendent of the
Wellston publis schools, and then en-
tered the practice Of law. In his pro
fession and political life, he has been
Il constant friend and supporter of the
public school system.
He Ia an able man. a good citizen
an efficient lawyer, and one who of
fers the best capabilities for the Office
for which he has been nominated.

II Is said, will further aliege that in
