George w. Shaw, of Cleveland, in
making a campaign for the Republican
nomination for governor, does not hes
ftnte to call the administration of
Governor Willis a joke and to predict
certain Republican defeat in Ohio If
willis be renominated. Listen to
some of the things he says:
Frank B. Willis, as governor of
Ohio has been a sad figure in this won
derful commonwealth of ours, and his
incapacity to handle the affairs of this
state have been pathetic, to say the
least.
Everywhere go around Ohio, and
I've been around the state pretty
thoroughly in recent weeks, hear the
same story, growing old now, but full
or the sentiment of Republicans, Gov
ernor Willis won't do and / infer
from this statement on the part of
good, substantial citizens in Ohio that
members Of the governors party see
On him child playing with the great
state which elected him to office.
81 don't care to discuss Willis rec
ord very much; fact is there isn't any
thing could say that would add much
to what pretty nearly everyone In
Ohio already knows-Willis has been
fiat failure, incompetent, extrava-
CANT, and most expensive experiment
for Ohio citizens, and don't you for
get the citizens know this now.
maintain that unless some more sub
stantial candidate is nominated by Re-
publicans for the governorshlp in
Ohio, at least one-third of the Repub-
lican votes will be lost before cleo
tion day rolls around.
willis doesn't understand the posi-
ton to which he has been elected and
he hasn't the capacity to learn.
Look at his appointments to office
In the state-can you point out anyone
named for positions who is not small
er in vision than this governor Of
ours?
The whole thing Is looking like a
Joke around Ohio. You hear the same
sentiment every place-the schoolboy
dn the governors chair. playing with a
great commonwealth. We Republicans
want to see man nominated who can
command the respect of the nation
and engage in some constructive work
Tor the state, two things that can new
ar be said Of Frank b. Willis"

Big Value Of Chambers OF
Commerce
COLLEDGEOUTLINES BENEFITS
Deplores Conditions Which Lead Men
TO Believe They Cannot Enjoy
Themselves And Concludes
With Comic Stories


The enjoyable discourse of DR.. Will
liam A. Colledge, first night lecturer
of the chautauqua. at the noon-day
luncheon of the chamber of commerce
Wednesday night will be termed "An
Appreciation of Chamber of Com
merce," SO glowingly did the speaker
describe the value and benefit inher-
ent in such organizations.
DR.. Colledge was presented by Vice
President McCrackin who referred to
the fourth annual visit of the chautau-
qua to this city and spoke of the op-
portunity which had come to obtain
the first-day headliner to address the
local commercial organization.
A resident of Chicago DR.. Colledge
is interested in a publishing house,
loose-leaf binder firm and is educa-
tional director of the Redpath chau-
tauqua bureau. All three of these or
ganizations, he stated, are members
of the Chicago commercial bodies and
all department heads are urged to at
tend the weekly luncheons in the La
Sale hotel, where an interchange of
ideas proves especially beneficial to
those who would otherwise concern
themselves almost entirely with their
own business cares.
The association with men in other
walks of life, with men who think
along different lines in arriving at
solutions of problems is one of the
most valuable assets a noon-day lunch
con of business men can hold forth,
DR.. Colledge declared. This associa-
tion not only develops ones own busi-
ness, but also assists in the develop
ing of community spirit, as well as
trade pulling-together.
He referred to the Lincoln building
in Chicago where the owner has in
troduced several novel ideas. chief
among whiohais an efficiency bureau
which will aid any business man,
tenant of the building, who needs
help. Forty industries have associa-
tlons Of their own in this building and
magazines dealing with technical mat
ters, peculiar to these industries, are
constantly availble. AS result, DR..
Colledge stated, the Lincoln building
Is always full while there are acres
of space in other business blocks.
"The saddest thing in the world"
the speaker proclaimed, "is that the
American business man thinks he has
no time to enjoy himself" Men of so
years believe, by concentration on
their physical strength and nothing
else, they can hurry along their affairs
toward permanent retirement, where
as matter of fact these men never
reach retirment, death intervening.
Enjoyment would benefit these men
greatly. Ali Mt. Vernon business men
should attend the luncheons, he stated.
in chamber of commerce, the speak
er said, which is like race affinity and
he went on to tell number of very
comic stories, which kept his hearers
in commissions, illustrating the bind
ing tie of country.
At the conclusion Of the very enjoy
able address, Vice President McCrack-
in announced that the speaker for the
luncheon next Wednesday would also
be chautauqua talker, Thomas
Brooks Fletcher, editor of the Marion
| Tribune.
