AMBASSADOR SHARP.

William Graves Sharp, the Ameri- can Ambassador to France, was born in Mount Gilead, Ohio, and will cele- brate his 18th birthday tomorrow. MT. Sharp has been in Paris since the be- ginning of the war. His home is in Elyria, Ohio, where he made for- tune as a manufacturer. Thirty years ago he entered public life in modest way as prosecuting attorney of Loraln county, Ohio. In 1900 he ran for Congress as a Democrat, but was de- feated. In 1909 he was elected from the Fourteenth Ohio district, and soon became prominent in the national capital. He was serving his third term in the House when he was ap- pointed to the Paris post. While Mr.
 Sharp's diplomatic duties during the beginning of the war and for the first two years were most arduous and re- ouired an immense amount of tact to fulfill, the importance of the post has vastly increased since the United States has entered into the conflict.

LINING mp ..Ts,n unys,

Frantic appeals are going from the
Williams-Robertson machine headquar-
ters In this city to the faithful over the
state to FOR Gawd's sake line up tho
boys" These appeals are the result
OF reports received at machine head
from every section Of the
state that there is n disposition on the
part of the people to vote for a change
because of the useless extravagangos OF
the last three administrations and
especially of the Williams regime which
has cost the tax payers of the state tho
enormous sum of $27. 900, 0O0-enough
money to run the state efficiently for
twice four years. 1t Ii said that the
Williams-Robertson machine crowd had
hoped to get by this time without max
ing any promises of additional Jobs TO
the boys" who are still hungry, believ-
Ing that somewhere there would be n
limit beyond which the voters would
not let them go. but within the last
few days IL has been thought best to
take u chance at the wrath OF the peo-
pie and see u n few more jobs could not
be provided for the fellows who other
wise will not got busy The last year
new jobs ave been added to IN
mou of $780, 0O-three times the
combined salaries paid to all Of the
elective state officers!
But something has to be done and the
Williams-Robertson machine will not
hesitate to put into operation any plan
or scheme. however. much II may
eventually cost the tax payers, to con
tinus in control of the nance of the
state.
