viii Be Supported


"It would be too much to say that
all Democrats in this community will
vote for Governor Cox at the election,
but he will probably receive as nearly
the solid support of the Democratic
party as any candidate has received
for long time, and besides that many
liberal-minded thinking citizens rot
members of the Democratic party VIII
recognize the justice of these meas
ures, and in the interest of good gov
ernment will support Governor Cox for
reelection. Many citizens will do this
without in any way surrendering their
allegiance to their own party or in any
way compromising their political views
upon national questions.
"My dear Mr. Whitacre, | must i'm
press upon you the fact that you are
on the wrong track, and the people
will not support you. Your attacks up
on Governor Cox are unjust and are
rapidly re-acting against you You
httf : hCaiu tuC FOiCC VI lew uASdp-
pointed patronage seekers, malcon-
tents and disturbers, and you have TAX
en- these sporadic cries for the voice
of the people.
The objections to the administra-
ton of Governor Cox have been found
ed largely upon misinformation. but
the people are now beginning to un-
derstand the true workings OF these
different laws, and they are ready to
support an administration that has
been brave enough to go forward in
the face of opposition and accomplish
what has been done by the Cox ad-
ministration. The people admire a
'doer' and not kicker and Governor
Cox has accomplished things and the
people will not listen to the clamor
of disappointed politicians. You will
have little or no support in this com
munity, and believe that is the situ-
alton generally in this part of Ohio.
81 feel it my duty to write plainly
that you may have the views of at
least one who considers himself good
Republican, and whose views you seem
to desire"

Praise For Governor Cor
The administration Of Governor
Cox has given the people OF the state
of Ohio many other beneficial laws.
The present liquor law is almost uni.
versally approved in this community.
There were some hardships incident
to instituting the law in which some
very good people were forced out of
business, but this was a condition that
could not be helped, and the law is de-
cidedly the best liquor Law or temper
ance measure we have had in gener-
alton. Our saloons are better conduct
ed than ever before in the history Of
this community, and the evils of the
liquor traffic have been reduced to the
minimum, Every honest citizen must
and does approve legislation Of this
character.
Another measure enacted by the
Cox administration that is helping 20
render his administration popular with
thinking people, is the workmen's
compensation law. This law is a great
humanitarian measure, and to my
mind marks the greatest step in be-
half of labor that has ever been tax
en- in the state. The law is working
out SO we'll that both the laborers and
the manufacturers are becoming
thoroughly satisfied, because it has
eliminated the great economic waste
incident to liability insurance and Civ
en- the injured workman instant re-
lief. The old system meant large
overhead expense prolonged litigation
and little or no relief to the laborer
or his family in the end If the Cox
administration had passed no other
law, it would be entitled to the com
mendation of the public for so wise
measure as the workmans compensa-
tion law.

other points eNs.ltually.
by the use of the lists the city
consumer will be able to get in touch
with u farmer who will fill his weekly
erGsp;s fer butter and asss and other
farm products" said First Assistant
Postmaster General Roper yesterday.
The farmer will be relieved of carry
ing his produce to the market, as the
tions at the farmers own door of
these retail shipments to city con-
sumers.
The point has been raised that diff
ficulty will be experienced in the re-
turn of hampers and other containers.
This problem does not appear to me to
be difficult of solution. The farmer
may use inexpensive hampers whose
value would not warrant their return,
or he may use the higher grade ham
pers, for which he may include an ad-
sditional charge to be credited to the
consumer upon the return of the ham
per by parcel post"

Washington March 26.-The cele-

credited with having interpreted the
Monroe doctrine AS meaning the Uni

Senate in full. The portion relating 20
the Panama canal was as follows:
Il will not say that we constructed
the Panama canal even for you. For

We built ii for reasons of our own. But

will profit by it. You will profit most
by it because you have the greatest

but to express the true sentiment and
self-sespect of the American nation. AS

missing, gives Burke TAB, Crawford 532,

ty. Wilbur S. Glass has majority
over II. M. Finnerud of 90 on the face

out. Much interest attaches to the Nc
