Winning Fight.
Everything that the women have
gained has been a fight. step lby step,
and when at last we are granted the
right 10 vote we have prepared our
selves and are in a position to do
Justice 10 anything we undertake.
Let US look back over the life OF
James NJ. Cox, the democratic can
didate Tor president. He was born
in the country and educated in the
rural schools. At this time Mr..
Cox did not believe in the rural
school system in operation but we
shall come 10 that point later.
After leaving the rural schools
Mr. Cox worked as an apprentice
IN a print shop and then became
A country school teacher. His
first insight to national affairs came
when he was made secretary TO an
Ohio congressman. Mr.. CON's next
move In public life came when no
was elected TO congress. He is the
owner OF two democratic newspa-
0ers In Ohio. While I'm congress his
ability as a legislator won the ap-
proval OF Uncle Joe" Cannon.
While in congress Mr.. Cox was a
member OF the appropriations COM
mittee. / shall cite YOU an Incl
dent showing the type o. man that
Mr. Cox represents. The appropria-
tions committee was asked for mon
cs for the Washington zoo. An in
vestigation OF the expenditures at the
zoo was made by Mr.. Cox and he
found that more money was being
spent in caring for the animals than
was expended in caring for the men
at the old soldiers home. This
merely shows how the little details
are investigated by the democratic
nominee.
Jimmie" Cox.
Jimmie Cox as he Is called by
the people OF Ohio was then elected
governor OF the state. While in
This capacity he displayed his abil-
ity as an executive and succeeded in
having sos pieces Of legislation pass
ed Among the different pieces of
legislation endorsed by Gov Cox
vas the system OF rural schools. the
compensation law, the blue sky law
and many other excellent pieces Of
legislation for the betterment of the
state. However. Gov. Cox was too
progressive and was defeated at she
next election. But at the next fol-
lowing elections ne was placed In
office oy an overwhelming majority.
His record is an open book and sure
IS with such a record no one can
merely pass 10 over.
