IRE
ENTIRELY CONSUMES sTAATS
HOME AT MILLWooD-oCcU-
PANTS MAKE ESCAPE FROM
THE STRUCTURE IN NIGHTIEs

Millwood, Oct. 10-Quite a commo-
tion was raised in Millwood about
4:3O o'clock Tuesday morning when
the home of Royal Stats burned to
the ground leaving practically moth
ing but charred timbers and several
walls
Mrs. Staats was wakened by the
smothering effect of the smoke that
filled the whole house. She quickly
aroused Mr.. Stats who rushed to the
stairway with Mrs. Staats, who
snatched up an overcoat belonging to
Mr.. Stats, wrapping it around her
in their hasty flight.
Upon reaching the stairs, Mr.. and
Mrs. Stats were almost overcome by
the fumes and the smoke from the
doomed structure, but managed to
make their way TO the door. By the
time Mr.. and Mrs. Stats had reach.
ed the door many of the neighbors
who had been reused from their
slumbers were on the scene to offer
aid.
Efforts were made to extingulsh
the blaze, but the headway which the
fire had gained and the lack of facil
tiles that were to be had for the pur.
pose of extinguishing the blaze were
much against the men.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stats we're hurried
to the home Of one of the neighbors
where they donned heavy clothing
as they had only the scanty warmth
which their night clothes afforded
them. Some of the men rescued a
few articles of furniture along with a
small roll OF bed-clothes, but as the
east side of the structure was burn.
ed to the ground when Mr.. Stats
was wakened, there was not much
chance of recovering anything else.
The house was two-story frame
building with a summer kitchen out
side which was also burned to the
ground. About half of the loss is
covered by insurance.

State Campaign Committee Sets a
Precedent-Step Viewed As Very
Significant At Present Time

Columbus, O., Oct. IO-For the first
time in the history of political cam
paign organizations, such an organiza-
tion has taken steps TO protect men
and women employed by it during the
campaign period, by insuring them.
Announcement was made Monday at
Democratic state headquarters, that
the campaign committee has paid its
fee to the state for protection to its
lemployes under the Ohio working
mems compensation law, during the
campaign. With an organized move
ment on foot with the avowed pur-
pose of destroying the Ohio compen-
sation law and counter move among
friends of the law to keep it intact,
the action of the Democratic state
committee takes on new significance.
Democratic state managers are much
interested and elated over the devel-
opments in the organization attacking
the workmen's compensation law and
which is understood to be working in
the interest of private liability insur-
ance concerns. The latest develop

Since the Republican national com
mittee has had the people pass un-
favorably upon its proposed moving
picture, we beg leave to submit a
brief scenario for one that the people
would accept as true.
We would first show the old mil.
nonalres club in the United States
senate, who would allow no legisla-
ton in favor of the people; then we
would show poor workman injured
or killed with no redress except In
courts and. after a term of years
without action, the wife and children
In some poor-house. A beautiful
scene would be the old banking sys-
tenn with, its incidental panic, ruin
and misery. Then with the latter
might come picture of the earth
and its seas with every flag except
the Star Spangled Banner floating
from merchant ships. And, oh, how
touching would be a picture of the
little children working in factories.
their blood being coined into dollars
for the benefit of the greedy and
those who had been favored by the
Republican party in all legislation In
Its continuous power for 16 years.
Then we would show other pictures
OF things that came to pass In the
last three years and as the leading
character OF the picture we would
show a cold, austere man, wearing
whiskers. who threw his judicial robe
into the gutter and got down on his
knees to roll in the mud and make
mud balls to throw at the president,
OF course, these suggestions would
be only the high spots and could he

DEMOCRATS BUY STATE
INSURANCE FOR WORKERS

.ment is a statement issued by Harvey
G. CARRIER, head of the True Democra-
cy league, in which CARRIER makes an
attack upon Thomas ]. Duffy of the
state industrial commission. The
Democrats are pleased by this for the
very good reason that they have been
charging all along that CARRIER and the
handful of one-time Democrats who
compose the league are hand in glove
with the liability insurance men in
their fight upon former Governor Cox.
They named Garman Stanley. an in
surance agent, as working with Gar
ber and his organization and the liabil-
ity companies.
Garber's attack upon Duffy confirms
the Democratic managers suspicion
that CARRIER is working for the insur-
ance interests, for the reason that Duff
fly is recognized by Ohio workmen as
the champion of workmen's compensa-
tion and its protection. Garber's con-
firmation of the charge that he had
something to say in the selection OF
Louis M. Day by Governor Willis as q
member of the industrial commission,
also confirms former Governor Cox's
charge that Day was named by Willis
at Garber's demand.

Every working man in Mt, Vernon
knows that for the first time in the
administration of the workmen's com

1t is for the purpose of stopping what

for that purpose is signed by over
