HUGE, HARMLESS

WASHINGTON. July 21-The tragic
nepredations Of man-eating sharks
along the Atlantic seaboard lend an
especially timely interest to a com
munication from DR.. Hugh NJ. Smith,
the foremost American authority on
fishes. addressed to the National Geo
graphic Society, and just released as
a bulletin.
"When giant fishes are mentioned,
most people will at once think Of the
shark, among which, indeed are
found the largest FISH now existing
writes Mr. Smith. "Of the many
species Of sharks noteworthy on ac-
count of their size there are about
half a dozen which are pre-em'nent.
These differ much In their DISPOSE
tion. some being as harmless as doves

(cetorhinus maximus), known also
as the elephant shark, which is an in

former years was not rare in the Uni
ted States and British coasts. The
species has the habit at times Of col

the basking shark was hunted for its

shore of Massachusetts in the early

obtained from the liver Of one shark.
There are many records Of baslKing

The largest of all fishes, the larg-

the largest of existing animals, with
the exception OF a few species OF

from Good Hope, but now known from

places, a small specimen having beer

years ago. This shark has a very
broad and ohtuse snout and an ex-

small whitish spots. The species il

charge of such an institution who
would waylay the governors secre-
tary right in front of the door of the
executives office because he would
stifle free speech, I ask you what
can we expect of a man who would
do such a dastardly act as that If one
of those men entrusted to his care
for redemption would incur his dis
pleasure. Instead of being a pair of
brass knucks, it would be an ron over

SOME ELECTION
ODDITIES

By no means all the men of TWEEN
ty-one in the country are qualified
voters, for the varying laws of the
states place certain restrictions on
suffrage that become exceedingly i'm
portant in presidential years.
Florida bars "duelists and their
abettors."
More than a dozen states bar de-
linquent taxpayers from voting.
Michigan and several other states
bar Indians with tribal relations
f. Mississippi bars from the voting
privilege all Indians who are not tax
ed.
Ability to read the state constitu-
ton is necessary qualification in
Wyoming.
Nermonters cannot vote If they lack
the appreciation of the local board of
civil authority
Migrants are not voters in Alabama,
nor are embezzlers of public funds, II
there are any such, in California.
Idiots, the insane and persons con-
victed of felonies are barred from
the voting privilege in nearly all the
states.
Delaware, New Jersey South Caro-
lima, Virginia and most of the New
England states penalize pauperism by
taking away the voting privilege
Mississippi puts up the bars arainst
bigamists and New York specially
disqualifies from voting any person
who has been convicted of bribery.
Until a comparatively recent date
several of the states denied the fran
chise to "unamnestied confederates

against the united states.
Ohio refuses to let United States
soldiers. So ilors or marines vote, as
do Virginia, Utah. Texas. South Da-
kota, Oregon. New Jersey. Montana,
Missouri. Indiana ana Arizona.
AS practically every state bars con-
victs from the voting privilege and
there are more than 100000 convcts
in the prisons of the country, election
day will mean nothing to a whole
army of them.
Two years residence is a necessary
qualification for voting in nearly ali
of the southern states, while one year
aud in many cases only six months
residence is required in other sections
of the country.
The residents of the District of
Columbia have never enjoyed the
right to vote for president or other
national officers, since the territory
embraced in it was coded to the Unit
ed States and became the seat of the
federal government,
Women will vote in this general
election in twelve states. Illinois
Colorado, Kansas. Wyoming Mon
tana, Utah Arizona, Idaho. Washing
ton, Oregon. California and Nevada,
a fact which the national campaign
managers of all parties have taken
into consideration. These states re-
presentation in the electoral college
amounts to 81 votes. 1t is easily con-
ceivable that, if voting as a unit, the
women might decide the election, as
there are more than 100000 women
to vote.

1t has been known for some time
that Hamilton county Democrats fav-
ored former Governor James M. Cox
as Democratic candidate for governor
this year. Many of the leaders had
given an expression to such desire
from time to time. But following the
endorsement seen in the primary vote
in which led the ticket Of popular
men, the Hamilton county democracy
has gone on record with the formal
resolution here given:
The democracy Of Hamilton coun-
ty, through its controlling commit
tees, this day assembled, hereby de
clares loyalty to former Governor
James M. Cox. We commend him to
the democracy of the state as the log,
ical Democratic candidate for COVER
nor this year.
with him as the leader of the
militant and united democracy in the
state there will be an aggressive pre-
sentation of the issues. The two
years Of efficient administration oi
James M. Cox and his positive stand
on all matters present contrast with
the inefficient and vacillating policy
of his successor In all matters. The
record of every promise to the people
kept by the last Democratic admins
tration will be on exhibition along
side the broken pledges and deceit oi
the Willis administration
"The falsity OF the Willis campaign
of two years ago is proven, and her
aided, by the acts of Willis as COVER
nor He has shown lack of knowledge
of statecraft; he has exhibited a mar.
row vision; he has demonstrated in
capacity to govern. His adminlstra
tion has heen extravagant, selashly
partisan and utterly inefficient His
every act cries out his weakness.
Events have amply yindicated the
Cox administration, but Ohio needs tt
be vindicated of the mistake Of 1914
James M. Cox is best fitted to brlnl
that vindication. We therefore urg,
his candidacy for the governorshil
and have no other to consider"
