To Obtain Control OF The
Next Legislature
So That The Measure May
Be Repealed

Columbus, Jan. 26-Friends Of
workmen's compensation are warned
to be on the watch in every county
The old Equity association still lives
and it is still working. Fearing to
operate under the friendly ruling of
the state insurance superintendent,
the employers liability insurance
companies have perfected new po-
litical organization through which
they hope to control matters in con-
Meeting with the makeup of state
tickets next fall. They especially
hope to gain control of the legislature
and they are especially opposed to
the reelection of James M. Cox. The
siren song that workmen's compensa-
ten is safe from attack is being used
and prospective candidates on both
Republican and Democratic tickets
are told that it is no longer neces-
sary to interest themselves in this
matter. 1t may be well for the peo-
pie to remember that eternal vigi-
lance is the price of safety" and give
candidates thorough inspection who
belittle the necessity for remaining
on guard.

Birthday
Surprise Party
Mrs. Guy Taylor, 720 East High
street, was the cheerful recipient of a
very pleasant surprise party Tuesday
evening of this week, it being Mrs.
Taylor's birthday anniversary. About
thirty of Mrs. Taylor's friends were
present and brought well-filled bas-
kets, and not long after their arrival
the home assumed the appearance of
one large dining hall.
After the refreshments were served
the evening was spent in cards and
music, and all departed at late hour
wishing Mrs. Taylor many more such
pleasant birthday anniversaries.

Failing to find statement in the
Jackson day speeches Of former Gov
ernor Cox that could be successfully
assailed, the favored Republican
press that was given the $500 adver-
tising appropriation for the state fair
while the regulars in the districts
we're asked to run promotion free, has
invented material which they think
they may discuss. For instance note
this from Republican source: "None
of the newspapers of the state car
ried that part of the speech of form
er Governor Cox which he made at
Lancaster in which he made bitter at
tack on both j. H. Leonard, superin-
tendent of the reformatory at Mans
field and Warden Thomas of the peni-
tentiary."
1t was not carried because 1t was
not made. The many Republicans
who heard and applauded the speech
can vouch for this.
When the advocates of Governor
Willis must resort to such tactics 1t
shows the weakness of their cause.
In office Governor Cox supported both
Mr.. Leonard and Mr.. Thomas and
never sought their removal "for po-
litical reasons" Out Of office his
policies have not changed.

Theodore Burton and the state Of
ficials who fixed up the Republican
slate for 1916 at harmony meeting
of Columbus are bending every effort
to keep former Senator Foraker from
going to the Republican national con-
vention as member Of the Ohio dele
cation at large. This is the reason
alleged for the delay of construction
of the ambiguous statute in regard
to the filing of declarations of can
didates for delegates. Burton is said
to insist on literal construction of
a law which would make it impossible
for any man to be candidate who
is not personally selected by the pres
idential candidate.

Intimation is given that Governor
Willis Is about to start house
cleaning in his own camp. AS evil
dence it is pointed out that of late
many prominent Republicans hitherto
not in his confidence have been call
ing at the governors Office and they
have been going direct to the COVER
nor, ignoring those who have in the
past been said to represent him.
From this it is given to mean that the
governors kitchen cabinet is to be
given back seat, and reprimand
for the committee of boy scouts
whose advice the governor blames for
his present predicament. The drop
ping Of George Bope from the state
payroll was the first step. Heads
more weighty are listed to follow.
Governor Willis as a political heads
man is now getting ready to WELD
his axe on some Republican neoks.
1t is significant that Mayor Davis
and Republican Leader Maurice
Maschke of Cleveland absented them.
selves from their home city on Friday
and Saturday, Jan. 81 and %, while
Governor Willis was there. The sig
nificance lies doubly on account OF
the presence of the governor, and the
opening of the Cleveland industrial
exposition. Davis did not want to be

eS. 1T was presumed that
pledge would cause Germany To
refrain from other ouuages oi
such nature. Fer q time this
occurred. But recently the
kaiserS submarines have been
stepping farther and farther
across the mark. The Sussex
case was q fragrant violation
Of the promise made to the
United States, the Sussex being
an unarmed passenger ship
carrying no soldiers or military
supplies
As q consequence of the Ger,
man tactics President Wilson
has done what this country
was compelled to do in self re.
spect. The kaiser has been in.
formed that his submarine war
fare must show regard for neu-
tral humanity and conform to
international law or the Unit
ed States will sever diplomat
io relations with his country.
Senator Burton attempted to
confuse his audience By treat
ing the armed merchantmen
issue and the unarmed ship
issue in the same light. These
subjects represent two distinct
issues. The present ultima
tum to Germany was not based
on the armed merchantmen
question, the Sussex having
been an unarmed ship as stated
above.
On the vital subject of sub
marine warfare on non-com-
batants the presidents attitude
has never changed. 1t has
been just and courageous at
all times, never weak or cow
ardly. If open to criticism at
all it is open to the criticism of
being too vigorous and uncom-
promising. Yet this Ohio poll
tician tried to picture the presi-
dent as spineless and wavering.
He drew a picture that is false
and unfair.
If his Pendleton address was
a fair sample of Burtonism it
is evident he is not a big enough
man for the presidency. He is
a narrow gagged partisan, not
q big statesman. The fact the
are not generally
taking his candidacy seriously
is a compliment to the repub-
Iican party of the United
States.

UNFAIR AND ULTRA PARTI.
SAN

I'm his talk here Saturday
Senator Burton devoted
his entire time to an attack
ON President Wilson's foreign
policy, referring always to the
presidents actions in terms of
contempt, never in words of
praise. He spoke always in a
carping partisan vein, never
from the standpoint of broad
Americanism.
The senator was neither fair
or truthful in his presentation
of his view of the Wilson for
eign policy. The one big i'm
portant feature of our foreign
policy has been the contro-
versy with Germany. In handl-
ing that affair President Viii
son has held to a firm, consis-
tent course in defense of Am
erican rights. When the Lusi-
tania was sunk our government
sent an emphatic note to Ger
many setting forth in substance
that such warfare would not be
tolerated and that if passen-
ger ships with Americans on
board were to be attacked our
people would have to have the
safety guaranteed under inter
national law.
After some parleying the
German government came back
with an offer to meet our wish

GIVES BLOOD TO
SAVE WIFE'SLIFE

and a half of his blood this morning
in an effort to save her life.
Mrs. Adcock had been i'll for sew
eral years and when she was brought
to the Chickasha hospital few days
ago, it was found necessary to oper-
ate. Because of her lack of blood the
physicians said she could not survive
the operation in her present condi-
tion. and asked if any Of her relatives
or friends would volunteer the trans
fusion of their blood. Her husband,
robust man. promptly offered to un-
dergo the ordeal.
Both parties were reported to be
doing satisfactorily after the trans
fusion.
