CONGRESSMAN AsHBRook
Newark AdvOcatel

The recent Democratic primary held
throughout the Seventeenth congress
sional district attests the popularity
of Congressman william A. Ashbrook.
The voters certainly placed their
stamp Of approval on his candidacy
and their desire to have him returned
to Washington where he has been an
active worker in behalf Of his consti-
tuents.
Mr.. Ashbrook Is recognized as one of
the leaders ut the national capital,
his knowledge of affairs political win
ming him the friendship OF the repre-
sentatives of other states and their
support OF the measures he has advo-
Gated His judgment is relied upon i'm
plicitly by the older men as well as
the new. and he has been accorded rec.
ognition In all the caucus actions of
his party.
The old soldiers are unanimous In
their desire to have Mr.. Ashbrook rep
resent them from this district In fact
he is known to almost every man who
wore the blue all over the state and
his friendship for the men who fought
under the Stars and Stripes has been
demonstrated more than once. SO well
has he been known and recognized
as the old soldiers friend that from
many other states he has been con-
suited by them for advice and assist.
ance In pension Legislation.
The whole congressional course of
the popular representative of the Sew
enteenth congressional district has
been guided by firm desire to aid hu-
manity. His attitude has been that of
'one OF the people" trying to serve
the rest Of the people"-the militant
spirit Of Democracy that is going to
return him to legislative halls for fur.
ther victories and further benefits for
this district.

A HOUSE DIVIDED. ETC.

For the first time in decades the Re.
publican congressional committee this
year issued no hand book for the guild
ance OF speakers and editors. There
is reason. The members Of the con-
gressional committee could not agree
among themselves upon what material
should be placed in the document.
Many Republican congressman, scores
in fact. voted for Democratic measures
which certain leaders wished to have
denounced. Denunaiation meant to
these members stnltification in the
eyes of their approving constituents.
To insure peace and to prevent them
selves from seeming foolish, the mem
bers of the committee decided TO issue
no handbook. Each congressional can
didate is therefore free TO make his
own issues. The fight, therefore, is
that of an undiscipiiaed mob against

the trained and loyal army headed b.
President Woodrow Wilson.

In the Mt. Vernon Republican of
Tuesday is given a table of alleged
tax rates in Knox county by years for
three years. AS an essential part Of
the argument" that goes with the
table, is the statement that "James
NJ. Cox became governor of Ohio in
January, 1912. That's undisputed."
Well, we'll! That shows how value.
less the figures and arguments of the
esteemed Republican organ are. Cox
did not become governor until Janu-
airy, 1918, year later than stated by
the Republican organ. If the Re-
publican organ would give a wrong
date to serve it's purpose. how little
reliance can be placed on the table
of alleged rates it publishes and the
statements 1t makes?

sion for the benefit of injured work
men and fer the poor widows and help
less orphans of killed wOrkmen.
In every speech he makes Frank b.
Willis vigorously and with all his pow.
er directs attack on the industrial
commission.
His candidacy is sponsored by the
liability insurance companies.
Since Willis was nominated the
Ohio equity association and its leaders
have been strangely quiet
Now just bear in mind that the
workmen's compensation in Ohio was
made compulsory under the admins
tration of Governor Cox. He defeated
the attacks of the Ohio equity assO-
citation, which came into being only
latter the compensation law was made
compulsory Before that the liability
companies vultured on the blood of
mangled labor
And now the fight Is on Governor
Cox
The Ferris letters, written by rep
resentative of the old liability organic
ations. asking liability agents to sup
port Frank b. Willis, who is pledged
to them and on whom they can look
to succor, expose the sinister move.
Yes, gentlemen, the fight this year
is on Cox, because ii Cox is reelected
the workmen's compensation will be
upheld.
Why do you not attack openly the
workmen's compensation, or any 9th
er one of the humanitarian and pro-
gressive laws OF the past administers
ton? Why do you not say which law
YOU will repeal?
The issue Is the great laws of the
present administration, The issue is
what James M. Cox has done as Gov.
ernor
Stand openly for the destruction of
the workmen's compensation II you
dare!

HOGAN FOR THE SENATE
cleveland Plain Dealer)

tCleVclduu ram Dedl6TJ
Timothy S. Hogan, Democratic can
didate for United States senator from
Ohio, proposes If elected to give Presi- /
dent Wilson and his legislative pro-
gram the strongest support within his
power. Warren G. Harding, his Re-
publican opponent, boasts that il he is
chosen to the senate he will hamper
the president in every possible way.
Here, in a few words, is the big sen.
atorial issue in Ohio. DO the voters
of Ohio wish man to represent them
ence to help the president or one who
will endeavotlr to block every proposal
the president may make?
third candidate for the senator
ship is Arthur l.. Garford, Progressive.
He is basing his campaign largely on
the prohibition issue. The indications
are that IL elected he would be more
friendly toward the Wilson program
than would Harding. He is not, how
ever, raising the Wilson question.
So far as personal character and
ability are concerned, there is per-
haps no great difference among the
three. Two of them have served the
state in responsible Office; each is
clean, upright citizen, native Of Ohio
and deserving, on a purely personal
basis, Of the support of Ohio voters.
But this is contest of principles,
primarily, not of men. We are choos-
ing United States senator, not mere
ly rewarding good citizenship.
A vote for Harding will be vote to
rebuke President Wilson; to lesser
degre only vote for Garford would
be open to the same Interpretation. A
vote for Harding, in particular, will
signify that the man who cast 1t be-
lieves that the Wilson administration
has been a failure; that the president
should be condemned for keeping the
United States out of war with Mexi-
co; that no merit attaches to the presi-
dent for giving the United States her
present unique position in relation to
the European conflict; that the presi.
dent is entitled to nothing but con-
demnation for engineering the enact
ment of the best tariff law the country
has had in half century and father
ing measure Of currency reform for
which the nation had waited since
the civil war For these and a score
of other acts of similar advantage to
the people of America Candidate Hard
ing says the national administration
should be rebuked, and those who vote
for Harding will help deliver the re-
buke.
A vote for Hogan, on the other hand.
will be vote of approval for Presi-
dent Wilson. II win signify belief
on the whole, balancing one act
against another, the president has
done well.
Gould the issue be clearer? The
best of presidents would be helpless
without congress of his own beliefs
to support his efforts. Every friend
of the president. therefore, owes it to
the country to do what he can to give
him such house and senate. A di.
vided administration means divided
counsel and at best doubtful result.
The Plain Dealer urges strongly
that Timothy 8. Hogan be elected SEN
atOr from Ohio.

GETTING BACK THE
TRADE BALANCE

One OF the desperate arguments of
standpat orators is that the Demo.
cratic tariff unsettled the balance of
trade with foreign nations to the detri-
ment OF the United States. They ut
terly refuse to recognize the world war
as a disturbing factor. Taking them
AT their own word how can they now
explain the fact that ending October
10th the United States gained through
exports s6.000.000 | none week. The
non-partisan New York Commercial
says that this port New York; is on
ly about .6.000.0OO behind the record
made in February. 1913. when exports
reached the total OF $24 900, 600"
Then this decisive knock out blow

A VOTE OF CONFIDENCE
New York Worldly

New York Worldly
The World trusts that Mr.. Bryan is
right when he predicts that the VIII
son Administration "is to receive in
the Nation a vote of confidence"
This is the most important issue In
the campaign, and such vote of con.
fidence in the resident can come only
through the election of a Democratic
House of Representatives
II is unfortunate that President
placed in the position that Mr.. Wilson
has been placed by circumstances is
obliged to make his appeal for public
support through the medium of parti.
sanship; but there is no other method
known to American politics by which
the people can signify their confidence
and faith In chief magistrate.
We do not pretend that Democratic
congressman are wiser or more honest
or more patriotic than Republican
congressman, or that they are actual
ed by lOftier ambition to serve the
country. We do not pretend that
are better men or more trustworthy
men than their Republican opponents.
But we do believe that Mr.. Wilson
has proved himself one of the greatest
presidents In American history. and
that his administration has marked
q new era In American politics. We
believe also that he Is entitled to a
congress that Is In avowed sympathy
with his principles and policies OF
government, and we believe especially
that he deserves the unylelding sup.
port of the American people In this
great world crisis. That support can
come only through the triumph of the
Democratic party In the fall elections,
A Democratic defeat would be the
defeat of President Wilson. II would
lie so interpreted throughout the
world. Such defeat would greatly
weaken the Presidents influence
abroad. 1t would likewise impair the
power OF the United States when the
time comes for the restoration OF
peace. Issues OF vital lpmortance to
civilization are In the Presidents y
hands, but these issues will be torn
from his hands unless the American
people prove that his ideals and that
his purposes are their purposes A
president Of the United States who
had been repudiated at the polls
could not be expected to WELD much
influence In London and Berlin and
Paris and st. Petersburg, Vienna and
Toxic.
In this campaign President Wilson
represents much more than the Demo.
cratic party. He represents democra-
cy itself. He Is today the most com.
manding representative OF democracy
among the leaders OF the nations,
and the confidence that the American
people express In him on election day
VIII be q measure OF the confidence
they express in the efficacy OF their
own institutions.
The president is not playing politics
with the grave questions with which
he is dealing. The American people
ia turn should not play politics with
The President.
