COUNTY DEMOCRATS
HAVE GOOD CHANCETO
WIN OFFICES IN FALL

Nomination of Senator Harding at
the Chicago convention has practically
made certain the nomination of Cover
nor James M. Cox at San Francisco.
The republican Old Guard knows
the value of having a candidate from
Ohio. It lost Ohio in 1916 and lost the
presidency. This year it has selected
the Old Guard candidate who is strong
est in Ohio and it is folly to underesti-
mate the strength of the Marion man
as the party's candidate in Ohio in
November, especially in Ohio.
A glance over the line-up Of propos-
ed Democratic candidates makes it
plain that none can meet successfully
the situation in Ohio except Governor
James M. Cox. The Buckeye chief
executive can win over Harding in
pivotal Ohio and the San Francisco
convention will turn to him on an early
ballot.
Democratic circles in Ohio are
pleased with the Chicago results as
they have good reason to be-.
With the national ticket so promising
it is up to the state and county to put
forward good men who will sweep in
to office. Especially in Medina County
is there a noticeable apathy among the
democrats. This should not be. A
meeting should be held at once and
prospective contenders for county Of
fices should be selected. The time for
official filing has passed but by a
systematic campaign the voters may
be brought to realization of the ex-
cellent opportunity for success this
year. 1t will be necessary of course
to either write in the names Of candi.
dates or use stickers but this will
be just.as effective when the votes are
counted.
It is earnestly urged that county
democratic leaders get together, Sc
lect the candidates and hop to tn,
issue.

VICTIM OF WRECK
SUES GOVERNMENT

Isaac Zelezneck has brought suit
in the court Of Common Pleas against
John Barton Payne, representing the
U. s. Government for the sum Of $780,
600 as damages for injuries received
August 22, 1918 when train on the
Lake Erie and Western struck truck
which he was driving across the eros
sing about two miles east of Spencer.
He alleges that undue carelessness on
the part of the governments agents
who were operating the trains at that
time was responsible.
The track in on down grade at
that point, he says, and a bad curve
exists there. The weeds prevented a
clear view of the track. No whistle
or bell was sounded, he alleges, and
the train was running about 40 miles
an hour,
Zelezneck alleges that he was hurl-
ed from the truck and sustained per-
manent injuries to different parts of
his body. He was unconscious for
eleven days, he says.

WOMEN IN THE PARTY

The representation given women by
the Democratic party in its National
Convention is significant. The list of
women elected to serve as delegates
and alternates in the National Conven-
tion at San Francisco, June 28 exceeds
the expectation of the most sanguine
of the women.
The most coveted honor of delegate
at-large has been conferred ON twenty
five women. Twenty-three are alter
nates-at-large and more than three
hundred will go to the convention as
district delegates and alternates. Each
State is sending women who have dem
onstrated their ability in public SER
vice. Beginning in their local clubs,
most of them have developed extraor-
dinary political acumen through the
long campaign for suffrage. Many
have been prominent in welfare work,
and, through the knowledge of what
the vote means as a power for bring
ing about needed reforms, have allied
themselves with the Democratic party,
which stands for progress that will
make liberty and quality more than
mere words.
Ohio made it's tribute to the women
by the election of one delegate. Mrs. "A.
B. Pyke, of Lakewood, is the woman to
be honored. At the time she was
chosen her election was widely exploit
ed as the first in which a woman was
accredited to the Democratic National
Convention, but South Dakota disputes
this claim. However, the example of
Ohio is believed to have encouraged
other states to show just consideration
to the women Of the party.

CHANCE MEETING

LEADS III ARREST
Grille Wise, son of DR.. and Mrs. w.
D. Wise, of Akron, returned to his
home this week after having been held
in jail several days in connection with
a Dartmouth college shooting affair.
The killing was the result, of too
much liquor. Robert Meads, of La
Grange, ILL.,, and a fellow student,
Henry E. Maroney, Of West Medford,
Mass, engaged in an argument which
terminated with the shooting to death
Of Maroney.
Young Wise met the slayer at the
Hanover station and rode with him to
Boston where they were both arrested.
Wise was held as witness in spite of
his declaration that he knew nothing
of the affair prior to his being eaken
into custody.
The Wises were residents of Me-
dina until few years ago when the
doctor left to study abroad, taking
up residence in Akron upon his re-
turn.

FISHER GIRLS GET
INTEREST IN STORE

The S. S. Oatman grocery and meat
market on South Court street which
has been conducted for many years
by Mr.. Oatman, took in two new men,
bers this week when the Misses
Natlie and Marcella Fisher, grand
daughters Of Mr.. Oatman were given
an interest in the store.
Mr.. Oatman's age precluded his
giving much of his time and attention
to the business so the girls will hand
lie this feature. It is understood,
however, that Miss Marcella will not
be active in the new management, that
duty continuing with Miss Natalie who
for the past three years, has been
serving as bookkeeper, general man.

he gave thanks to God for three
things: First, that he was created a
man and not beast. Second, that
he was born a Grecian and not q
barbarian, Third that he was born

If this represents the pagan ideal of
gratitude, 1t is In marked contrast to
the Christian ideal. A boastful spirit
has no place in true thanksgiving to
God. The Pharfsee who went up to
the temple to pray and thanked God
that he was not as other men, was
roundly rebuked by Christ for his pre-
sumption. The last place for one to
display his egotism should be before
the throne Of God. whatsoever will

y America is. today the richest and

It is this very opulence that leads the

men are prone to put their trust in

Ingratitude has been called the most

BELLS INTO CANNON.

During the War Between the

in such a condition that it be-
came necessary to convert the
church bells into cannon. No
doubt many churches through
out this section gave up their
bells for this laudable purpose.
At THE convention Of the
Daughters of the Confederacy
held in Asheville last week a re-
port was made by Mrs. Felix
Harvey on the record of church
bells used by the Confederate
government.
Mrs. Harvey made the state
