ING AND OTHER HAPPENINGS
Biggest Rallies in Larqe Cities.

beginning to feature the last days
OF the campaign. Nearly all of
the candidates for statewide Of
fee are slowly verging from the
rural d. communities, where princi-
pally they have been centering their
efforts, to the larger and more thickly
settled places. This is always a fea-
ture of closing campaigns, but this
fall is especially marked. This week
and next will see some of the biggest
rallies in the large cities. Another
movement of the last campaign stages
is the more general use of newspaper
advertisements on the part of candi-
dates and of those supporting the
proposed constitutional amendments
The more direct appeal, both through
newspapers and personal letters, is
based on the general assumption that
thousands of voters are still unde-
cided, that they are still amenable to
arguments, and that therefore unless
there is to be an inevitable landslide
one way or the other, the election can
be won or lost between now and elec-
tion day. And there still remains the
proverbial roorback, without which no
campaign has been free for years and
years. 1t is known here that some of
the headquarters, not necessarily the
partisan political headquarters, ere
getting ready certain roorbacks for
use one or two or three days before
the election. But it is also kno wn
that this fall, more than ever before,
the roorback will o. used guardedly,
for there is a general feeling that the
11th hour attacks, particularly those
which come so close to the election
that there is no opportunity for de-
fense, often do more harm than good
to those who employ them.
Enters Upon Matrimonial Sea.

dent of the United Mine Workers of
Ohio, who was looked upon as con-
firmed bachelor, has entered nlatri-

$4,000 miners in the state.

of heckling. Gov. Cox and Frank B.

cepted invitations to attend the dinner
Holds Antitrust Law Effective.
The impression that has prevailed
that the Sherman antitrust law is in
effective was dispelled when Judge
Thomas M. Bigger of the Franklin
county common pleas court gave a de-
cision that it is illegal for wholesalers

be sold on the. market. In so holding
the judge did not follow any prece-
