This means nothing else than that
Cox was minority candidate Lv the
wide margin of 51,0S0.
In 1914, after Cox had served cne
term as governor and had made his
record" he was defeated by Willis
(Republican), who came through With
plurality over Cox of 1920, des ,ite
the fact that the Progressives ran
their own ticket and polled 6O,9O4 for
Garfield. In this 1914 election Willis
received 523,O74 votes, while Cox re.
ceived 493,SO4 votes.
In 1916 Cox as beneficiary of the

56S,21S votes to SCI ,602 for Willis.
! Cox's plurality was only 6,616. This
gives another line on Cox's boasted
vote-getting strength, for the fact is
that Cox in this election had 50, 1872
votes behind Wilson, head of the
Democratic ticket.
In 1918 Cox was elected by plu-
rality Of 1924, receiving 4S6, ,403
votes and 474,459 for Willis. The an
alysis of the vote for this year shows
that had it not been for a detection
in Hamilton county (Cincinnati),
based on local issue in one county,
which is normally Republican by at
least $4,000, that Cox would have lost
the election. Nobody claimed or be-
lieved at that time that Governor
Cox's election was due to his personal
strength.
These are the facts about Cox's
Wanted "vote-getting" ability in Ohio.
In 1914 when Cox lost the state by
29,270 votes, Harding, candidate for
the United States senate, carried
Ohio by 102,373. This does begin to
give fair idea of Senator Harding's
personal and party strength in Ohio
because, while Cox was losing the
state by 29,270 votes and Harding was
carrying the state by 102,373 votes,
Senator Harding not only had Hogan,
the Democratic candidate for sena-
tor to take care of, but also hal to
stand the loss of 81 500 votes which
went for Garford, Progressive candi-
date for senator.

co, the awards for which were given to
Miss Simons and Miss Cora Frantz.

novel manner. Masses of pink roses
formed an attractive decorative motif
throughout the rooms.
Miss simons is well known in Keno

Juvenile CourtsAbr0ad
Patterned After u. S
Spain is the Latest Country to Adopt
Juvenile Courts After Example
of the United States.

The example set by the United States
in establishing juvenile courts has now
been followed by all the principal
countries Of Europe. Spain, the last
to fall in line, has now adopted tbs
modern viewpoint that delinquent chill
dren should not be treated as Grim
inals, but rather as victims Of adverse
conditions and surroundings. In work
ing out the details Of the law, Spanish
authorities have followed Americas
experience, according to information
received by the children's bureau Of
the United States department of labor.
Under the Spanish law, the children's
judge is not necessarily o member of
the bench. He is assisted by two adj
visory members appointed by the com
mission for the protection of children.
Privacy is guarded very closely in the
Spanish juvenile courts; no one except
probation officers is allowed in the
court except by special permission, and
the press is forbidden to publish any
information about eases of Juvenile
delinquents.
Since Chicago established the first
juvenile court in 1899 similar courts
have been established in England, Bel
gium, France, Holland, Denmark, Italy,
Switzerland, Germany, Russia, austria
and Hungary.

SCOUT MOVEMENT
TO BE REVIVED
David FOgweIl Plans Sew
eral Scout Troops for
KenOsha Lads.
APPEALS TO PUBLIC

David Fogwell, local scout executive,
has just returned from a six weeks
camping trip with the Boy Scout move
ment ct the national scout camp at
Kanohwake Camp, Palisades Park, New
York. The scout movement has been
allowed to retrograde during the war
and it is the intention of Mr. Fogwen
to enlist the aid of every business man
in reviving this all important diver
sion of boyhood.
In no other society for boys is there
the great opportunity of service as in
the scout movement. BY firmly estab-
fishing respect for the laws of the
nation it has a great tendency in bet
tering the future manhood of America
The camping experience, the first aid,
the woodcraft and the signaling are all
that is desirable in the life Of any boy
and nowhere can this be given except
in the scout movement.
Dads to Aid Lads.
The citizenship training to be de-
rived from the scout movement is
highly desirable and it should be the
aim of every lad in Kenosha to be a
member Of some troop. Promotion in
the scout movement depends on the
aptitude Of the lad and his success at
grasping fundamentals Of signaling,
bread baking and camping chores.
Scouts are taught to swim, to make
fires with but a single match, first aid,
cooking, woodcraft, signaling and a
host Of other things
Scoutmasters are being sought b.
Mr.. Fogwell and special course of SIX
lessons in scouting is to be given. The
support of every business man is earn-
estly sought.
