Contrast this If you will with the
position OF the Democratic nominee
who, even though 1t meant the differ
ence between winning and losing, re-
fused to attend the San Francisco con-
vention because he did not believe a
candidate for the presidency should
conduct himself like candidate for
a county office.
We think that the comparison be-

CAMPAIGN ETHICS

Alarmed by the enthusiasm arous-
ed in Marion county following the
nomination Of Governor Cox, Senator
Harding's headquarters has sought to
minimize 1t and has stopped to the
ethics OF campaign for the office of
constable to do 1t.
When Marion county Democrats
planned an excursion to Dayton to at.
tend the Cox notification, Harding
headquarters found the crowd grow
ing so fast that It sent broadcast over
the land statement to the effect that
the delegation was being packed,
tickets being given out free and ex.
penses paid The purpose was to
keep up the impression that Marion
people were practically all for Hard
ing.
Quick responce was made by Dem
ocrats. A reward of 500 was offered
for any instance of a ticket being CIV
either directly or Indirectly. The re-
ward is still posted and uncleamed.
Affidavit of the conductor of the
Marion special train proves that 1854
tickets were collected. In addition
many railroad men Travelled on passes
and several hundred others made the
trip in automobiles. The railroad
company was unable to furnish enough
equipment to carry all Of the crowd.
Marion's great delegation received
a great ovation at the notification.
The delegation from the vicinity Of
the front porch gives evidence of the
trend that is on toward the Democrat
ic nominee and no one will deny the
fact that situation is alarming to the
Harding managers. And we'll 1t may
