Ohio has two candidates for presi-
dent. Both are men of wide expert
ence in politics, but Governor Cox,
the democratic nominee is a man of
wider vision and more extended eX-
perience IN business affairs than is
Harding. The later is and has al
ways been a politician of the old
school. He is a "stand-pater" of the
"stand-pattest" sort. Both are edit
ors and publishers of newspapers
and both are practical printers. But
Cox has branched out into wider and
broader fields than Harding. He is
q breeder of Hereford cattle with an
international reputation. He is a
farmer and is said to be one of the
best judges of livestock in the middle
west. He recently received as a
present from a Kentucky breeder OF
Herefords, a bull valued at $4,000
because of his excellent judgment in
selecting a bull of the Hereford
breed. Cox is versatile and few men
have a wider range of vision or ex-
perience than has he. The race be-
tween these two men will be interest
ing. One hears little talk of the re
publican landslide" predicted so con-
fidently before the San francisco
convention.
The anti-saloon league leaders are
going to try to make a s'wet and dry"
fight in the coming campaign. They
have to, or they will be out of a job.
Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel
for the anti-saloon league is out
with a statement in which he de-
clares that the notification of the
prohibition law is threatened. This
ought to be enough to brighten the
enemies of the ''blear-eyed demon
rum" into coughing up enough
money to keep Wheeler and other
jaw-smiths of the anti-saloon league
on the pay roll at least until Novem-
Der.

1t is TRANCE what wonderful love ,
some men have for the constitution. !
An organization calling itself the I
constitutional League of America" |
which has taken unto itself the task I
of preserving the constitution from t
harm or dissertation, has brought
suit in the federal court to restrain :
the secretary of state and attorney
general from declaring the constitu- ?
tional amendment giving women the !
to vote, has been ratified. We "
often wonder how the constitution
managed to survive more than a CEN
fury before this league was organic
ed to protect it. e

nominee. May we not hear
ON Senator Borah? :

La Toilette will probably be the :
ominee for president on the new

ting that he should be, as he long
70 ceased to be a republican or even ;
loyal American citizen. He will be
fitting candidate for that mob of
sloyalists who will control the o.
ird party convention at Chicago on
