WHERE DO YOU
STAND, Mr.. VOTER?

In order to meet the deficit in the gov
ernment's income, caused by decrease
iu revenue receipts from importations,
due to the European war, the Democratic
party plans to raise temporarily S107, :
600, 900 year by direct taxation. More
than one-half of this tax is to be raised
from Intoxicating beverages-beer, whis-
key, cordials and so forth. Two ffths
of the other half is to be raised from f.
nancial transactions, such as bonds, de-
bentures, stock certificate issues, trans
fers and so forth, promissory notes, con
veyances and so on, while of the remain
der, $4,000, 600 is to be raised from cos
metics and chewing gum and another
IS, 900, 900 is to be raised from tobacco.
The Republican party is opposing this
tax. and by SO doing would stiAe the gov
ernment in its purposes by refusing itad-
equate money to meet its legitimate ex-
penses.
The Democratic party stands for
the Government.
The Republican party stands for
the distiElers, the brewers, the n
nanclaI interests and the tobacco
trust. ~

GARFIELD LAMBASTS
BOTH OPPONENTS

James r. Garfield. Progressive candi-
date for Governor, and w. d. Williams
Progressive candidate for Lieutenant
Governor. visited this county in theI
tour of Northwestern Ohio last Friday
making two speeches, one in this city
and one at Rockford.
Garfield lambasted both Cox and VIII
lis. He dwelt principally upon the liquor
question, saying: Every voter who eX-
poets to vote for statewide prohibition
must necessarily support the progressive
ticket, as the Progressive party is the only
one which has assured the people Of the
state that it will support dry legislation
should the amendment carry. We have
declared in our platform for statewide
prohibition and we do not expect the
vote OF the saloon keepers or brewers"
Referring to the statement of Warren
G. Harding, Republican candidate for
United States Senator, that COX is try
ing to double cross the saloon men and
Garfield is trying to hoodwink the drys" +"
Garfield said the only difference with
Willis is that he is trying to hoodwink
both the drys and the vets.

REVIEW OF THE EUROPEAN CONFLICT

On a battle front extending from
Ostend, Belgium, to Belfort, near the
Swiss border. Germans and the allies
are still struggling for the mastery.
Gains and losses have been reported
by each side during the week ending
Oct. %. Along the Belgian coast
British warships have been of ma
terial assistance to the allied troops,
shelling effectively the German lines.
A Paris dispatch, dated Oct. 25,
states that German troops assailed
the allies with undiminished vigor at
Dixmude. Belgium, and near Bethune,
France, and repulsed an attack by a
large French force near Lille, which
city the Germans still hold. Berlin
states on the same date that the Ger
mans, despite stubborn opposition,
succeeded in crossing the Ypres canal
with strong forces. An advance south
west Of Lille is also reported. In the
Argonne region the German officials
claim to have gained ground. Along
the river Disc the French and British
defeated the enemy, who delivered a
furious onslaught against the posi-
tions held by the allies. The kaiser's
forces were compelled to fall back.
st. Petersburg reports that Ger
many's army of invasion. which at
tempted to besiege Warsaw, has been
driven forty miles west of Warsaw.
Russians have assumed the offensive
all along the battle line in Poland and
Galicia Austrian attempts to force
Iassage of the river San have been
repulsed. Russian advance columns
have crossed the Vistula river above
the Iljanka.
Advices from the front, received
Oct. 26, indicated that the Germans,
who have crossed the User in enor-
nous force, are pressing forward, en-
countering determined opposition. At
other points in the north, notably to
the east and northeast Of Ypres and
beween Lille and Armentieres, the
German offensive, while most ener-
eetic, is reported checked. Reinforce
ments have been sent to the north
and the British warships continue to
sweep the Germans with an enfllading
FIRE wherever they try to push their
lines back to the coast.
Severe fighting was reported con-

BRYANS fine TRIBUTE TO GOVERNOR COX

The consensus Of opinion is that the
second endorsement Of Governor Cox
and his administration by William Jen-
nings Bryan will insure not only Mr..
Cox S election, but that Il will give to
the governor one OF the heaviest plural
titles enjoyed by any Ohio elective official
in recent years. The praise given 10 the
Governor Of Ohio by the nations Secre.
tary of State during the latter Ohio tour
two weeks ago was unusual in its warmth
coming as IL did from a man who usual
ly rs conservative in his laudations Mr..
Bryan characterized Governor Cox as one
OF the young men destined 10 90 higher
and higher and to become a leader in the
affairs of the country.
Mr.. Bryan left no doubt in the minds
of his audiences that the national admin
istration is eager 10 see Governor Cox
reelected and to see the entire state tick
et and the congressional candidates Of
the Democratic party placed in Office.
He placed the stamp OF approval of Pres
ident Wilson upon the entire Democratic
state and congressional ticket in Ohio
and urged especially that the Ohio vot-
ers elect Democratic congressman as evil
dences Of their faith ia the President.
1T will be idle for you 10 be in sym
pathy with the President unless you also
vote in sympathy with him, said Mr.,
Bryan.
Speaking in praise of Governor Cox,
Mr.. Bryan, at Dayton, said:
My primary object in coming to this
state at this time is to present brief re-
view OF what has been accomplished at
Washington, that you might with more
intelligence pass Judgment upon the re-
cord OF Woodrow Wilson. That is my
primary object in coming; but the pleas

Germans to cut the allied line in two.
The official statement that the on

conjecture that the Russian victories

dous losses in killed and wounded in
Belgium and northern France, are
compelling the Germans once more to

Accounts of the battle in Belgium
along the banks Of the User agree
that history contains scarcely a par
allel in ierceness Of fighting and
enormity OF losses on both sides.
From Berlin comes the assertion
that the Belgians have lost 10000
men. English correspondents say
that the Germans have so far lost ap-
proximately 10000 in killed and 30,-
600 in wounded. The losses of the
French and British in this zone Of op-
eratlons are surely very heavy, but

Frenchmen have been killed and

A great battle is raging north OF
