Since Rudy w. Mack, the dry Re
publican candidate for governor, and
Rev. Y. B. Campbell, the dry guide OF
the Willis administration and polit
ioal and civil service manipulator
have been hurting verbal brick bats
at each other, the facts about that
deal in Cincinnati are becoming plain
as mud,
The appearance is that Mack is
telling the truth. Campbell acknow.
lodges that things changed after
had my conferences with wet losers.
Mack does not know what happened,
but says that Immediately after the
election of Willis things loosened up
In Cincinnati and that the Willis
agents began playing for the wet vote
in wet communities and for the dry
vote in dry communities. The laxity
Of license in large centers is visible
TO all observers.
Mack has no chance Of getting very
far politically in his eoffrt. The deal
in Chicago, where the Burton cruiser
was Summarized by Cincinnati's UT
after Willis had boasted that he was
proud to have had an opportunity of
voting for Rud Hynicka, who COM
manded the George B. Cox submers-
ible, shows where Mack will land.
Candidate Rudy w. Mack will prob
ally not be given the chance to do his
boasted cleaning of Cincinnati. He
won't get past the first line defense.
But he is causing unrest and revolt
in opposing forces. He is showing
more strength and greater ability
than opponents thought he possessed
three months ago. His attack will
break some lines.

Bankers and building and loan men
of Ohio must be greatly pleased to
know the high opinion the Willis ad-
ministration has of their integrity.
Willis tax commissioner James
Boyle, has been printing things late
ly to say that the bankers are re-
sponsible for the city deficits because
they strong-armed the legislature into
passing tax-hiding law. Boyle has a
system of taxation ready to present
to the next legislature for action by
which it is planned to make bankers
and building and loan officials open
their books to inspection, is the re-
port.

1t is awfully hard to understand
why so many roads are impossible
for automobiles, with all the money
that the highway department says it
has used for construction. OF course
it can be seen that repair work on
state roads must suffer when the ad-
ministration in power refuses to ap-
propriate for use the money automo-
bilists pay for licenses. This has
been retained by Willis to keep the
surplus from shrinking too much.
Yet the law says it can be used only
on the roads.

as cowardly, secured the claim the
country had been kept out of war;
and declared policy that refused to
protect nations citizens was base
and sordid.
In his afternoon address, delivered
exclusively to women, his assertion
that he would fight at the drop of the
hat, if need be, brought his auditors
to their feet and the women cheered
and applauded, frequently interrupting
his appeal to maintain their American
ism with force if necessary, with cries
of "That's right"
"How About Germany?'
A chorus of cheers delayed his
speech at night.
The colonel was interrupted only
