The county board OF road commits
sioners Mt their meeting at the court
house last Tuesday recommended that
all bids for the gaveling OF the AL
vim trunk line be rejected and a new
advertisement made.
Three bids were submitted, one by
Smith-Sparks Co, one by Burridge a.
Holmes and another by Helgemo e.
Slapick. The bid OF the last mention
ed was the lowest but 1t was so very
low that the board felt II had not
been based upon careful considerat-
ion OF the specifications and advised
that Il be rejected.
The two lowest bids. that OF Hell
gemo & Slapick and that OF Burridge
a. Holmes were sent TO Lansing and
1t is in the power OF the state high
way commissioner to reject or ac-
cept as he chooses to do.
IL is to be hoped, that II the bids
are rejected that more explicit in
structions will be given next time
and that there viii be q re-advertis-
ing so as TO allow of the contract be-
ing let by December /.
The board also expects that the
contract for the clearing OF the Am
ASA -Covington road be let at the same
time. The board has been promised
such procedure by the highway de-

Ohioan.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE Immediate
resignation Of President Wilson in
lorder to facilitate the elevation OF
President-elect Warren G. Harding
to the office of the nations CHIEF
Executive as soon as possible was
suggested here today by William
Jennings Bryan in a remarkable in
terview on the results of the cleo
tion.
With the resignation OF President

sent Marshall would become the
head OF the nation. Mr.. Marshall
should then appoint Mr.. Harding as
Secretary OF State and then tender
mis- own resignation. This would
make Mr.. Harding President at once

Bryan.

party. he said TT is entirely pos
sible the Democrats may be able to
elect the next Congress and by a
constructive policy win the election
in 1924"

Mr.. Bryan explained for the first
time why he did not support Gov.
Cox on the stump although he went
1000 miles from Florida to vote for
the Democratic candidate.
For the first time in forty years.
made no speeches in this cam
paign,' he said. My speeches
would not have fitted into the plan
OF the campaign. The San Fran
cisco platform, ! thought, ignored
the most important issues. ] knew
after the convention and wrote OF
| 1t, that the Democrats could not
carry single northern State. The
party had become a party of evaders
and not Crusaders.
AT San Francisco the convention
did not represent the rank and file
of the party. The largest and most
influential group there was the
idolators-off1ce-holders and nom
office e-holders whose chief object was
to glorify the President and obey
all his commandments.
G. o. =. Vote InsienIfcant.
The big Republican vote was not
one Of confidence in a reactionary
party but one Of protest against
/ wisconsin and does not indicate
permanent alignment.
The American people can change
their minds quickly. This was true
even before the ballot was granted
to women. who now. of course. al
ways have the privilege of changing
their minds"
II can make no comment on any
such suggestion" said Joseph 4.

President Wilson TO resign. All
members of the Cabinet who could
be found also refused to make COM
