ON FIGHTING GROUND

Ever since Congressman Willis be-
came candidate for governor on a
platform of destruction and reaction,
Governor Cox has been demanding that
he define his position. 1t should be
easy for Mr.. Willis to say what laws
he would repeal, which have been
passed in the last two years. It should
be still easier for him to say what
commission created by the present ad-
administration he would abolish and what
he would offer in their place
Failing to define himself Mr.. Willis
places himself in the light of dema-
sogue who is ignorant of the needs of
the Office to which he aspires. Unless
he can give something constructive In
answer to the questions Of Governor
Cox, Congressman Willis stands CON
victed on his own platform
The Democratic banner. (Mt. Vernon, Ohio) 1898-192?, 1914-10-06
THAT'S THE QUESTION

To flop or straddle, that is the Ques.
sion, or whether 1t is more noble in
the minds Of men to stand out as a
bold patriot and speak the truth, to
win or die on that line or to reap a
iruitless victory on a campaign of
lodging and reputation. And in the
meantime the haters Of a machine in
any other hands except the standpat-
ters, originators and improvers of po-
litical mechanism, 60 up and down the
state crying waste and extravaganza
because of the operation Of the new
laws. The New Ohio was not born to
die. 1t was born to live for men and
children, for better working conditions,
better schools, better roads and for jus.
tice to all Verify, verify we say unto
you. Messrs. Willis, Harding & Com.
pany, that the days of stand-pats are
over, and the days Of stand-put are
here.

PLAIN HYPOCRISY

In these days oi the near millennium
one stands aghast to see the hypocrisy
indulged in by the standpat politicians
in their explanation OF the bad" roads
plank In their platform. While their
candidate for Governor, Mr., Willis is
giving newspaper interviews and writ
ing letters to tell the people that the
plank, as he "interprets" It. does no,
mean the abolishment OF the State
Highway Department, on the other.
hand the committee OF reaction in Co
lumhus sends word out to the county
commissioners and officials that the
plank means what II says, that the
county commissioners themselves would
build all roads and spend all road i'm
provement monies, Truly, In times OF
stress and danger the politicians re
sort to anything to win. In the mean
time the people are deeply thinking
and November will show that tho voteI
knows how to read English as it II
