COLEMAN DU PONT
For Good Roads, Also Candi-
date for Nomination for
President of the US.

West Virginia, once known as the
state without modern road, is fast
coming to the front in securing the
best types Of highways. The last
few years has seen bond issues
amounting into millions of dollars
for building better roads in this state.
When Coleman du Pont. now a
candidate for the Republican nominal
ton for president of the United
States, first told the farmers of the
country that they were spending
about % cents for every mile they
hauled ton over poor roads and
that this cost could be reduced to
eight cents mile on good roads, they
were astounded and slow to believe
it. But du Pont proved it to them.
He put 1t up to them as business
proposition. And that one statement
of his has done more than any other
one thing to give impetus to the good
roads movement.
Du Pont is one Of the foremost
business men of the country and. If
elected to the presidency, would give
this country an administration along
business lines. The kind of an adj
ministration that about the biggest
business in the world should have.
The people Of this country have about
decided that 1t takes the same high
class sort Of business man to run the
country's business that It takes to run
private enterprises, successfully. I'm
usual interest attaches to du Pont as
he is the first distinctively business
man who has been considered serious
ly for presidential honors for more
than half century. OF the eleven
president since Lincoln died, not ono
had the slightest business training.
Du Pont has been everything from
day laborer in the coal mines to
head of one Of the greatest Industrial
corporations in the world. He has
been banker, a farmer, mine oper-
ator, and a builder of railroads and
has been signally successful in every
thing he has undertaken. 1t has been
said that II he were president OF the
United States, he would. save the
country three hundred millions of
dollars through business methodist
And he believes that the federal gov
eminent should extend every posi-
able aid In the building of good local
and national highways. West vir-
ginia's delegates to the Chicago Re-
publican convention. in June, could
do no better by their state than to
cast the states sixteen votes for Cole
man du Pont as the grand old party's
standard bearer. He is one man who
II nominated. would be certain of
election.

The Shipping BIN.

The president has exerted sus-

bate to five hours. Almost simulta-

Attorney General Attacks State
Administration in a Speech
Here.

A. A. Lilly, candidate for nomina-
ton for governor on the Republican
ticket, Friday night at the court
house addressed large crowd OF
citizens In behalf OF HIS candidacy.
Special interest in the meeting was
shown by Democrats. who furnished
good deal OF the noise" OF the oc-
casion. with nearly NIL Of the DEM
ocratlc leaders In the county leading
the demonstration OF approval when
the state administration was assailcd.
The Telegram Friday asked Mr..
Lilly two questions. The attorney
general answered one OF these 1ries-
lions and lodged" the other.
The first question was in effect:
VIII you. IL elected governor. enforce
the prohibition laws OF the state?
Replying to this question Mr.. Lilly
said that he would. after taking the
oath OF Office, be forced to enforce
the law.
The second question was in eff
feet: VIII you. If elected governor,
make any effort to cause to be re-
pealed any OF the prohibition laws
now on the statute books?
AS was expected. Mr.. Lilly did not
answer this question. He said that
the enactment or repeal Of laws Is a
matter for the legislature. and not
the executive. This was not an an
swer to the Telegram's question.
Mr.. Lilly either was in error in

This was construed as direct slap at
the Cox organization, but contrary to
expectations, Hamilton county was
solid for Taft when he was candi-
date for president short time later
and 1t was known that Cox used his
influence IN swinging the state for
Taft.
When Cox announced his retire
ment from politics in 1903, Hermann
and Hynicka continued the organize
ton which was considered intact un-
til 1t was beaten In the mayoralty
race in Cincinnati a little more than
three years later.
Cox as a young man was an en-
thusiastic baseball fan. He organ
lied and was member of the
"Oseeolas," during the strenuous
days OF baseball when fights were
FREQUENT. The motto of the club was
Win, Tie or Fight" and Cox is said
always to have been where the
trouble was the thickest.
Later he was associated with Aug
ust Hermann in the ownership Of the
Cincinnati Nationals. The ill-for-
tunes of that club palled on Cox, how
ever. and when he became tired of
supporting q "tail-ender" he sold his
stock.
Mr.. Cox was president of the World
Film Corporation, one of the largest
picture producing and distributing
concerns; chairman of the board OF
directors Of the Shubert theatrical
interests. vice president Of the Mar
Gus Loew amusement enterprises
and was interested in Keith vaude-
vile circuits. He was president OF
the Cincinnati Trust Company and
held stock in various realty compan.
les which have constructed theaters
in New York City.

LILLY DISCUSSES
HIS CANDIDACY

a consistent violator Of the law. All
articles favoring his candidacy pub
umns Of the Exponent. have been
paid for, Mr.. Lilly said. There Ia a
federal law on the statute books re-
curing that all advertisements re-
sembllng news matter be marked
advertisement" None OF the arti-
cles favoring Mr.. Lilly, which have
been appearing in the Exponent
have been SO marked.
Mr.. Lilly welcomed the support oil
Democratic newspapers. He said
that the Democratic leaders realized
that 1t was impossible to elect a
Democratic governor this year and
that he was the favored Republican
with them for the post. Republi-
cans over the state have known for
sometime that Mr.. Lilly was a IA
vorite in Democratic councils
MI. Lilly opened his speech by
saying that he was not going to
abuse anyone. And within FIVE min
utes after he made the remark he
was heaping villihcation on the heads
of Governor H. d. Hatfield, other
state officials and others.
Mr.. Lilly's attack on the governor
differed widely from the manner in
which the governor made his charges
against the attorney general. Mr..
Lilly spoke only in generalities; said
the governors private record was
very bad and abused the chief exec
utive in many other ways, but not
once did he name n specific instance
to uphold his charges.

Defeat for Wilson.

The Senate's rejection of George
'Rublee. nominated by President VIII
son for the federal trade commission
and who has served on tho commits
sion ever since Its creation, consti-
tuted' a decided blow to Mr.. Wilson's
prestige In Congress and strikingly
indicates the waning power OF the ex-
ecutipe. Mr.. Wilson exerted every
Influence to induce the Senate to
confirm Mr.. Rublee. notwithstanding
which fact fourteen Democrats voted
against his confirmation.
The Republicans voted almost SOL
Idly against the New Hampshire
Democrat on the plea OF Senator Gal
linger that Rublee was personally
obnoxious to him. but the Democratic
opposition was due to another cause.
1t was brought out in the executive
session that Rublee has always been
a champion of that peculiarly obnox-
ious form OF monopoly which would
enable the manufacturers OF patent
ed and proprietary articles to fix tho
prices at which they must be sold
and the forbid any retailer to cut
prices. This form OF monopoly has
been condemned by the supreme
court of the United States, but by a
narrow majority. 1t was further
brought out that Mr.. Rublee has CO.
operated with Louis d. Brandeis In
framing and attempting to lobby
through the Stevens bill, which pro-
yides that manufacturers could SO
fix prices.
Many OF the Republicans main
tanned. moreover. that President
Wilson had evaded the law in nomi-
mating Rublee. who was u Progress.
sive, on n board which the law pro-
yided must be bipartisan. Senator
La Toilette led the fight for Rublee's
confirmation. 1t was defeated thirty
six to forty-two.

ity between these two, Cox assigned
Hermann to the city of Cincinnati

side of Cincinnati. For years the
word OF these two men in their sep
arate fields was final.

land campaign. Cox's circle Of influ-
ence widened. At tina. time the Re-

formed the famous Blaine club

congressional campaign. In this Do
litical fight he won, Hamilton coun-
lty giving Blaine a substantial plu-
rality.

candidacy OF William Howard Taft

When the former president was sec.
