GOVERNOR COX
is COMMENDED
In No Uncertain Manner by the
Representative of HIs Par
~ in Old Mercer.

The following preamble and resolutions
were adopted at the meeting in this city
last Saturday Of the Democratic County
Central and Executive Committees. The
action commending the Governor and
his co.workers was passed unanimously
and with a spirit that betoken a pride in
their achievements, showing that Gov
Cox has lost little OF his grip on the
wheelhorses OF the party or the rank and
file on account Of the venomous attack
made upon him by the private liability
companies of the state and many emf
nent tax dodgers who have been kicking
up the dust 10 cover their tracks and
prejudice the people against the most
progressive and humane legislation ever
enacted by any administration in any
state in this great union
I'VE, the Democratic Central and Ex-
ecutive Committees of Mercer County,
Ohio, in Joint session at Celina, being in
full sympathy with the platform adopted
at Toledo in 1912, and fully realizing
that platforms are often made solely with
the view soi securing votes, with the
pledges in them only TO be broken after
the election.
I'm our platform we pledged to the
people of Ohio the enactment of certain
laws. They trusted us and elected the
entire Democratic ticket. II became our
plain duty to make every promise good
if we were wrong, it was only an error III
Judgment il we had failed to fulfill the
promises made, it would have been Sc
curing office under false pretenses.
1--WE nominated and elected an able,
fearless Democrat for Governor, who
believed a platform pledge was a sacred
promise TO the people, and with the aid
of a Democratic legislature and State
officials of the same party faith put every
promise into law. Be il therefore
Resolved, That we hereby indorse
every official action of Governor Cox
and his co-laborers in their endeavor to
give the people what was faithfully
promised.
I'VE especially indorse the Warnes
tax law, which brought from its hiding
places thousands and thousands of dol
lars and placed them on the tax dupli-
cate of the State, which resulted in the
reduction of the State levy from .96l
mills to .450 mills; also the workman's
compensation act, which has already
been the means of relief to hundreds of
laboriug men and their families, without
many weary months of waiting.
1--WE further appeal to the voters OF
Mercer County to help maintain the laws
enacted until they are given a fair trial.
This is all that is asked. Should they
fail after fair trial, then it is ample
time to talk of repeal.
"Be it further Resolved, That we en-
dorse the mastery, able and honest ad-
ministration of our fearless President,
Woodrow Wilson.

THE LENDERS LEAVE
FOR ARIZONA

Miss Marguerite Gender, who for the
past couple of years has been one Of the
most popular of the hello girls in the
local telephone exchange, resigned her
position last Saturday, and with her
mother, brothers and sisters, left yester-
day for Phoenix, Ariz., to join her father,
Tony Gender. Mr.. Gender went there
some time since in the hope of recuperat-
ing his health, and, we are glad to learn,
not without avail. The lenders were
very popular, and will be much missed
among the young social sets. We hope
they may find health, pleasure and pros
perity at Phoenix.

Paris Gives Reason For Slow Prog
rsss Made by AIIIss-TweIfth Day
Os the Battle Of the AIsne.
Paris, Sept. 14.-The twelfth day OF
the battle Of the Aisne discloses the
Germans maintaining their desperate
grip on French soil. but with a line
so bent at their right that Won
Kluck's army must retreat unless Won
Buelow can crush the allies center.
The fate of the German right de-
pends upon the operations at the CEN
ter within the next day or two, since
the allies. by methods old in Napo-
Icons time, are hammering back the
right wing, losing thousands as they
take a trench at a time, advancing
NO more than hve-eighths Of a mile
daily.
The main battle line now, from
LAssigny to the ridge Of the Argonne,
100 miles. is a double row Of for
tresses, from which allies and Ger
mans sally in attack and counter at
tack, while great guns devastate by
day and night The government COM
pares this extended siege to the slow
operations in Manchuria between Rus
SLAMS and Japanese.
Government reports and military
critics avoid premature graduation,
but insist that the allies are consist
emily succeeding in the all important
Ondeavor to hold fast at the center
while beating back and encircling the
German right wing. simultaneously,
the allies are protecting their opera
tions by repulsing German attacks at
the east center and east Of the long
battle line. The grand duke OF Wurt-
temburg and the German crown
prince have struck blow after blow,
but are necessarily hurled back. East
Of the Argonne and in the Vosges and
Lorraine the French armies are a lit
tie more than holding their ground
The communique issued by the
government informs the people as to
the causes for slow progress-a vast
siege operation, marked by costly
charges and a continual duel of great
guns.
Cautious as the reports of the gov
ernment are, it becomes more certain
that the effort Of the British and
French to envelop the German right
wing ia succeeding At the extreme
west OF the battle line French cav
airy, with infantry supports and light
artillery, is swinging in wide semi
circle east Of Amiens and toward St.
Quentin, for the purpose Of severing
the communications of General Won
Kluck's army and Fastening his re-
treat. Meantime a great army OF
French and English have forced Won
Kluck's army to defend itself on two
sides, the west and south, and are
persisting at great cost in the attempt
to compel retreat or utterly envelop
the German right wing.
In spite Of terrible weather condi-
tions, persistent rains and increasing
cold, the operations in the Woevre
district and southeastward toward the
barrier forts are increasing in vio-
lence. It is so necessary for the Ger
mans to relieve the peril of their
right wing aid center that they are
redoubling efforts to drive the French
from the heights of the Meuse and
the plains OF Woevre.
