ernor are coming in regular order. In
only three counties in which there
have been meetings have there been
no endorsements and here purely To-
cal matters intervened. This would
seem to constitute a call to public and
party duty, and it is so taken. Gist of
the resolutions calling Cox is ex-
pressed in sentence taken from those
of Richland county: so vacillating
weak and inane has been the present
administration, that by comparison it
calls loudly and points the way for
unanimous denomination and triumph
ant election of James M. Cox"
Expression of the call is thus given
in an editorial of the Youngstown
Vindicator, since which there have
been score of additional endorse
ments:
/ ex-governor Cox is right in not
seeking the office or the nomination,
but now that it is made so plain that
he is the one choice of his party above
all others, it becomes his duty to soon
announce not that he is a candidate
but that he will accept the nomination
for governor If it comes to him as
clearly the choice of his party. Other
counties will no doubt quickly fall in
line, for the political conditions be-
fore us make Cox the inevitable can
didate. It is to be the fight of two
years ago over again, with the differ
! ence that the promises of Willis must
be judged by his performance, and his
weakness must be contrasted with the
/ strong, progressive and efficient two
years administration of Governor Cox
It's as certain as anything can be in
politics that Cox will be unanimously
nominated and triumphantly elected" +"

er the hall, he had been a member OF
Timon lodge almost a quarter of a

the Boosters committee was doing,
and that they might be remembered
in years to come this photograph
was presented to the lodge.
Il. r. Bell, chancellor commander,
accepted the photograph on behalf of
the lodge.
A vote of thanks was extended to
Brother John Lloyd, who framed and
gave the picture to the lodge.

Leaving the Colfax court

Leaving the COl1aX CO u {
house about 4:30 p. M, Mr..
Clarkson proceeded to score the
route to Boyce, where they ar
rived about six o'clock.
The official score from Colfax
to the garage in Boyce was 11.3
miles. This takes no account of
of the distance across Red riv-
er, which was crossed in a fiat
bost ferry, and the speedometer
of the car stood still for a dis
lance of q to q mile in crossing
the river.
An enjoyable event of the
Boyce trip was a dinner served
at the residence of Mr.. j. G..
Baker in honor of Mr.. Clarkson
and party. 1t was almost a
stag" affair, there being seven
teen men and only two or three
ladies constituting the guests of
the evening. The first table of Ia
men were invited into the. dining
room at 6:15, and they discussed
the situation before them with
avidity. The host and his good
wife certainly did themselves
proud on the occasion by serving
a banquet worthy of any func-
ton.
Monday morning at $50 about
one hundred citizens assembled
in the auditorium of the Boyce
high school, and were addressed
by Messrs. Clarkson and VOL
stencrof for forty minutes along
the same lines as at the Colfax
meeting.
Starting at $50 the route be-
tween Boyce and Alexandria
was scored, the distance being
22.2 miles, and the party arriv-
ed at the city hall in Alexandra
at IL o'clock. The entire dis
lance from Colfax to Alexandra
was scored at 49, miles. To this
should be added about one-half
mile for the ferry across Red
river, which was not measured.
