were fully aware of all the efforts we
made and assisted US in every way
they could.
"Mr. Cox has rewarded many OF the
men who took active part in helping
him and Mr.. Finley to defeat these
referendums. l am as much entitled
to consideration at the hands OF the
Democrats as Mr.. Cox is. Mr.. Cox IS
not justified in stating Mr.. Snyder for

big boss of his party"
Hayes M. Adams.
Hayes NJ. Adams, of Sandusky, is
nominated by small margin over Mr..
Joseph t. Tracy, of Portsmouth. Mr..
Adams is the Auditor of Erie county,
and the vote proved him to be more
popular with the people than with the
politicians, who, for geographical fair
ness, wanted this place to go to South

it's share since nominations have been
made in primaries.
The Democratic incumbent of the
office of Auditor of State, Mr.. Victor
A. Donahey, has essayed to win the
title, watch Dog of the Treasury" by
barking furiously and frequently. He
has not caught looter, but may have
frightened away some one intent on a

courts, and in each case the court held

would. Throughout the two years Of
Governor Cox this Democratic watcf

Rudolph w. Archer.
Rudolph W. Archer, renominateC
without opposition as Treasurer o
State, made an errorless record during
his two years incumbency of tn
office, and is so thrifty in th'
management of the states million

Mr., Archer's opponent is on the lis

of Madison county. What his exper
