OHIO PATRIOTS MUST
DEFEAT MR.. COX
This Is No Time to Place A Cath
oIlc Rubber Stamp In the
Governors Chair

James M. Cox, the corrupt polit-
I ical boss of the Ohio democrat party,
and twice governor Of Ohio, Is the
democratic nominee and candidate for
the Office of governor at the coming
election, November 9th.
n In 1914, II will be remembered,
t THE MENACE, through Its powerful
political influence, kept four Roman
Catholic candidates from as many
vetates from going to the United
Estates senate Among this number
twas one Timothy Hogan, Of Ohio,
who was beaten by over hundred
thousand plurality, and as a result
q Protestant went to the senate from
Ohio for a period of six years, Ho-
gan was Cox's attorney general and
is very bitter against THE MENACE
and everything patriotic, and is do
ing all in his power to put Cox over
for governor for the third time.
In the general defeat of papists
and papal sympathizers in 1914, Cox
was defeated for governor along with
Hogan, though by lesser vote. Two
years later he was returned as gov
ernor, going In on the band wagon
Of President Wilson who, having
ekept us out of war;" carried Ohio
by 10000, while Cox only got In by
measly six thousand.
Cox has made the. Ohio state house
a second vatican every time he has
occupied It, and though Catholics are
In the minority in the state he has
given them about sixty per cent OF
the appointments every time he has
been governor. His last marriage
& was TO Roman Catholic and that
fact, together with the further fact
that he is educating one Of his daugh-
ters in Roman Catholic schools, has
been given wide publicity in the
Catholic controlled papers Of the
state.
Cox's crony In congress from 1905
to 1919 was Tim Ansberry, who rep
resented the fifth district, and whom
Protestants retired from congress In
1914. To see that the papist, Ans
berry, was taken care Of, Cox ap
pointed him as judge Of the court Of
appeals in Northwestern Ohio. Ans
berry's case is only one Of many, but
is an example Of the manner in which
Cox has taken care of the Roman
Catholic political gangsters in 0hit
ever since he has been in politica
favor and had the power to do so.
Cox caters to the labor vote of 0hit
through Tom Duffy, a Knight of Co
lunbus, and John Vol, a German
He keeps Duffy on the Ohio indus
trial commission at $4,000 per yea
and Duffy is always campaigning fol
Cox.
That Cox, while not pretending I,
belong to the Catholic church, is il
reality a Catholic tool is shown b!
his appointments and leanings, ant
by the further fact that all his BIZ
bosses are Romanists. His politica
ananager in Toledo is John A. 0'Dwy
Ar, Roman Catholic; his politica
manager in Cleveland is Tim Donohue
a Roman Catholic; his political man
ayers in Cincinnati are Tom Nocto
and Joseph 0'Hara, both Romal
Catholics; his manager in Dayton !
Steve Maloney, leading Knight o
Columbus and the head Of the we
organization. Like "Old Tray" tn
dog, Cox is to be judged by the com
pany he keeps, and by reason Of hi
company and his corrupt and biase
political record, he should be burie
so deep under patriotic ballots at tn
Forthcoming election that he, lik
Timothy, will never be heard Of agai
except in the role of ward heeler TO
rising Roman Catholic politicians o
larger magnitude.
