Fine, that was splendid talk"
Frank, I'm going to maui you to-
night"
Thus did two governors of Ohio
meet on the platform at st. Clairs-
Vile yesterday afternoon. Frank b.
Willis, Republican candidate for r
election, and James NJ. Cox, eX-g-f-
ernor ami his Democratic opponent,
exchanged courtesies at the. eod OF
CoX's speech, while 10000 Buckeyes
stood on their feet and yelled.
1t was the climax of an afternoon
Of community celebration With the
old National pike as Its background,
yet with tinge of politics that served
as spice for the ceremonial. A per-
feet day, a record parade OF autcmo-
biles from Bridgeport to FairVieW and
return to st. ClairsYille, rival guber-
Material candidates as guests of the
county, and an outpouring of Ohioans
and West Virginians, completed the
program.
Ovation For Both
Both Cox and Willis received an
ovation when presented by Judge
Charles J. Lynch, master OF ceremG-
MES and chairman of the meeting.

the exhortations of Mother" Jones,
labor agitator, three hundred wives
and women relatives. of striking street
car men battled with the police late
this afternoon in the most serious riot
since the walkout on the traction
lines began month ago. Night sticks
were swung right and left by the
police and many Of the women were
bruised.
Scores of the rioters carried babies
in their arms.
A crowd of strikers who had con-
Sregated around the uptown hall
where the meeting addressed by
Mother" Jones was held entered the
fray on the side of the women and
was driving back the few patrolmen
on the scene when an automobile load
of bluecoated reinforCements arrived.
The reserves plunged into the mids;
of the struggling mob and welded
their clubs without mercy. When the
rioters finally fled they left nine prjs-
oners-siX women and three men--iu
the hands OF the police.
The trouble began when the women
poured out OF the hall where Mother
Jones had exhorted them TO get the
'scabs' off the cars.

cried, staying at home thinking Of
dress and trinketS. when YOU ought to

However, the action that was tax

Dear Miss Flanagan: I herewith
tender my resignation as member
OF the Nevada Women's Civic
League. and also as member of its
executive board.
The affiliation OF the league with
the Woman's party is, to my mind, a
subversion of the purposes for which
the league was organized and it is
directly in conflict with the plain pro-
Visions of the leagues constitution
Section 2 OF the constitution pro-

non-partisan in its relation to all

be made by a two-th;rds vot,, after
notice Of the proposed change shall
