Gov. Cox concluded his speech with

He called upon the people to elect Mr.
Ashbrook to congress and General Ho-

asked that the people of Ohio on cleo

dent Wilson a message of cheer and
endorsement of his administration and
of the great work he is doing for man
kind.
Throughout Gov Cox's speech, he
was listened to with the closest of at

many good points he made were ap-
plauded and at the conclusion, NIGH

HARVARD MAY IGNORE
TEN MILLION OFFER

Boston, Mass, Oct. 24-When the
Harvard corporation meets on Mon
day, it is expected by members of the
faculty that the $4,000, 100000 tenta-
tive offer Of Capt. Clarence Wiener of
London, conditioned on the elimina.
ton of Prof. Hugo Munsterberg from
the Harvard faculty, will be complete

Prof. Munsterberg which he rendered

The Munsterebrg incident, which

war, is considered a gigantic hoax

to have the cash to bequeath, the
joke was good one. Then the pro-

Democratic Candidate for Repre-
sentative

AS representative In the legislature
from Knox county, Norman H. Hunter
has kept the faith. There is yet to be
offered single criticism of any act
or vote of his during the several ses-
sions of the general assembly. If
representative Hunter had done moth
ing more to commend him, the one
act of his introducing and securing
the passage of the pure seed law,
should call for his reelection, as that
one act is much in the interests of the
farmer and the, public at large. At
all times Representative Hunter was
n faithful attendant upon the sessions
OF the legislature and in committees
was always found doing his full share
of the work. In all the progressive
Legislation that was enacted his vote
was always right. Knox county has
reason to be proud of the record of
Representative Hunter--a record that
calls for his reelection.
