knowledge of the details of the
compact that sent Roumania into the
war on the side of the Entente Allies

acing to the peace and well-being OF
the United States than any that has
yet confronted it would result from
the defeat Of President Wilson for re-
election, is the opinion OF former Gov
ernor Judson Harmon of OHIO.
Harmon, twice governor, former at.
torney general of the United States
under President Cleveland, railroad
executive and student of world poll
tics, told for the first time what,
in the present campaign, he consid-
cred the issue that should determine
the course Of American voters Nov. Z.
"The biggest question in this cam
paign," Harmon declared, "is whether
an administration which, in the midst
of a world war, with tremendous
forces at work to drag us into the con-
1iict, has kept us at peace and pros
porous, Is to be upheld or discredited.
Defeat Of Wilson Would Mean Four
Months of Chaos.
Between the election Nov. and
the inauguration March 4 four months
will elapse Should President Wilson
be defeated, those would be four
months in which his hands would be
absolutely tied in handling the deli

HUGHES SCORED
On 8-HOur Declaration Wilson
Gives Shorter Day Now, Form
er Would Wait Until Death.

New York, Oct. 11.-Candidate
Hughes assertion that he believes in
the principle of the eight-hour day
drew a sharp reply today from A. E..
Garrison of Iowa, president of the
Order Of Railway Conductors, and
spokesman for the railroad men dur
ing the recent negotiations. Mr.
GaIretson has been a lifelong repub-
lican. In the statement made public
today Mr. Garretson, says:
Hughes makes it apparent that he
is willing to eXtol the eight hour day
in pubic utterances but he holds max
ing it actually operative as a deadly
sin.
He avows his undying devotion to
the principle of the eight-hour day
and then assails the action of the
president of the United States for his
effort to practically apply those be-
liefs on the ground that few score
of years should have been used for
calm deliberation, ignoring the fact
that centuries past have ben available
for consideration.
IF train and engine employees had
only approached the problem as a
wage proposition they would never
have included punitive overtime in
their proposition because punitive is
a penalty to the working of excess
hours, and it was only on the insist
ent demand Of the president of the
limited States that fheV waived that
feature of their proposal.
The real kernal of the situation is
this
"Will the man who labors vote to
continue in Office a president whose
action shows that he believes in an
eight-hour day, but favors actually
applying it after you are dead?
do you want it here and now or
do they want it embalmed with the
heavenly harp and crown where nei-
er moth nor rust doth corrupt and
where the thieves do not break
through the steal"

Says Detection Of the German Vote
Exaggerated.
Harmon, an astute politician, with
many sources from which to draw in
formation as to the course of the cam
paign, declares Wilson is making
headway both in Ohio and the nation
at large. Also he declares the defec-
ton Of the German-American vote has

CAN GET NO BIDS ON PAPER
[The Buckeye Printerl

Ohio state departments are facing
a paper famine. For the first time
paper supply houses have refused to
bid on contracts to furnish the state
with paper during the coming year.
The state spends something like
100000 a year for paper, and when
bids were called for by the state
printing commission, recently, the
various companies which have been
bidding for the contracts regularly
sent word that because of the short
age of the paper supply, they would
not submit any bids. They fear they.
would be unable to furnish the paper.
AS a result the state will have to
buy its supply of paper in the open.
market and pay current prices for it.
This will boost the states paper bill.
State Printer Cross reports that there
is big shortage of envelopes and
that firms which have the contracts
for these are unable to furnish them
on time and in amounts needed.
