Six months ago the leaders # the

They felt that nothing was ecess-
ary except for nine men to assemble

their selection ratified by thef con-

posed to the people of America a
man who stands for nothing, one
who is ltra-conservative and reac-

cord does not appeal to the laboring
man, to the farmer or to the pro-
gressive and wide-awake business

contrary offers the nation man
who stands for progress. man whose
record as governor of Ohio must nee
essarily appeal to every class of citi-
zen, hard-fisied, clear thinking, out
