For President
WARREN G. HARDING,


In the campaign now drawing to a
close the republicans have had a dou-
bic advantage-the strength of their
3 own candidate and the weakness of the
democratic nominee With the excep.
ton of Roosevelt in the 1904 campaign,
no republican nominee in recent years
has had greater personal drawing pow
er than has Senator Harding. With
the possible exception of Parker in the
same campaign, no democratic nominee
has done so much as Cox to injure his
j own cause. Senator Harding has been
dignified. serious. intellectual--partici-
pating in the discussion of the issues
of the day in manner that demon
strates full appreciation Of the high
Importance of the office for which he
has been nominated and of the reSpOn-
sibilities he will assume when elected.
Mr.. Cox has conducted "a campaign
such as would be expected in a contest
for the control of the political machin-
cry of IL city Misunderstanding in mislead
ing manner with matters which should
be beneath the notice of a man who
aspires to become the leader and spokes-
man of the greatest nation on earth.
In not a single instance has Senator
Harding made an appeal to class or To-
cal interest as distinguished from the
interests Of the nation as a whole,
Throughout the campaign he has called
members of the republican party, whose
representative he is. and has thus. in
Dictated in a practical way his purpose
to take counsel of large number Of
citizens after he shall have been elect
ed. He has not assumed omnipotence
neither has he surrendered to any
man or small group of men.
The first act of Governor Cox after
his nomination was to speed with all
p,nc nsf1 n n
mend the supple hinges of his knee be-
fore the great American autocrat who
will tolerate no man whose mind re-,
fuses to go along with his. Mr.. Wilson
announced that their minds were at one
on the league question, and Mr.. Cox
declared that whatever Mr.. Wilson had
promised Europe he would put forth
his every effort to fulfill. So far as the
public knows. Mr.. Cox has taken coun.
Gil with no, others. EE s
We predict that Senator Harding will
carry Crawford county by a big ma.
jority on next Tuesday.
For United States Senator
A. Il. CUMNIINS
All friends of efficient government
must desire the reelection of Senator,
Cummins. He is the kind OF a man
who cannot be spared from the senate
at this time. The senate, as constitut.
I ed after next March 4tlrs will have the
gravest problems to solve. Nearly all
the issues growing ont OF the great war
are still : to be, met The questions
raised by Mr. Wilson'S league of ma
tons are not the only ones. All the
problems of getting this countrs" back
to n real peace, basis are still to- be
solved. The war measures. which Mr..
Wilson has insisted or keeping in force,
must be repealed and where necessary
new legislation must he enacted to
meet new conditions The new presi
dent will need all the sagacity and eX.
perience that Il United States sena tor
oan give, to clear up the confusion
brought upon the nation by the Wilson
administration. In such an emergency
a man like Senator Cummins cannot:
be spared. He is one of the four or five
senator's to whom the rest look for lead.
ership and foresight at IL time like this,
Democratic newspapers have had
much to say about the Cummins,E sch
railway law how it would work for the
benefit of the railways and against the
common people-the laborers and the
farmers. They say the bill guarantees
the railroads 5h per cent on their stock

tees the shipper against excessive
rates. The democratic papers say the
bill legalizes watered stock. The bill
absolutely forbids consideration of wa.
tered stock and bonds with relation to
rates. 1t reduces rather than increaS.
es the net income. These same demo.
craic papers say that congress gave q
huge sum to the railroads when the
president gave them back to their own
ers. Congress did not give them a
cent, except to pay the government
guarantee on the deficit already incur
red. The money appropriated is loan
at 6 per cent and must be paid back.
The papers say the bill is unfair to
labor. Under this bill labor gets Is
per cent of the increase in rates, and
