COLUMBUS, Ohio. - james M
Cox, Democratic nominee for presi-
dent Of the United States, in his key
note speech before the state con-
vention of his party here Tuesday
declared progressivism as opposed
to reaction is the issue of the hour
and pictured Senator arren G.. Hard
ing as continuing in national af-
fairs the reactionary leadership
which the governor said the Repub-
lican candidate had held through
out the fight for progress in Ohio.
The governor reviewed the history
of Ohio since 1912 and pointed to
the record of progressive accom-
plishments under the new constitu-
ton. He charged that the party
headed by Senator Harding had put
every obstacle into the path of ad-
vancement and quoted the senator
as having denounced the order as
socialism.
On the morning after election in
which the constitution was adopted,
Governor Cox said Mr.. Harding
made this statement:
"Ohio by a majority has turned
from its old organic law and it's
safeguards and voted for radical
ism. We have ended political con-
ventions and their deliberations. We
retain the legislative body simply
as form and have subjected law
making at the ballot box We have
declared property rights subject to
the law of those who have none, and
opened the way for socialistic rule
and reign in municipality and state.
The revolution in Ohio dates from
September 1. Our own notion is
that the radical victory of Tuesday
will be followed by conflict after
conflict until a socialist rule is
thoroughly established. Ohio has
broken her moorings. The revolu-
ton is on

charged, continued to head the forces

latiye reforms made mandatory by

Cox said were unable to gain sup

established their own organ which
was distributed free. This newspa-

Senator Harding and took the name

Once upon a time all butcher

were not so wholesome then.
People got more and more
touchy about Storage meats.
Meat men saw that the better
they kept the meat the better

Butchers Lost Money
And not only could they in

knew that they were actually
losing some meat that could
be saved by better storage ia

them as a wonderful exhibit Of

neer Thomas j.. Wasser and Mon
mouth County road officials over a
resolution adopted by the county
freeholders criticising the commits
sion for the condition of route No.
4 which runs through h a county.
Mr.. Wasser contended that the road
is in as good condition as the roads
which are maintained by the county
authorities. The flare up was caused
by the action of the f~reeholders.
through Judge Henry f. Ackerson,
county solicitor. in appearing and re-
questing that the $4,000 due the
county for road improvements from
the state fund be paid.
Wasser and members of the COM
mission pointed out that they were
only in Office a short while and that
they could not be personally held re-
sponsible for the condition of Route

the commission to pay Monmouth

Arrow Rock cost slightly less than
seven millions of dollars, a new bat
tleship costs thirty-fve Can there be
no lesson in this?
The Tribune believes firmly in pre-
paredness for war But preparedness
is of two kinds, military and econo-
mic. And it was not the military
kind which paved the way for final
victory over Germany in 1918. Re-
clamation of barren acres means pre-
paration for any eventuality, whether
of war or of peace. Reclamation is
the best kind of preparedness. Bat
tleships in a few years become obso-
lete and are relegated to the scrap
heap. Irrigation projects are forever
on the job, returning to the American
people many times the money they
spent in building them. Arrow Rock
was created for centuries of service;
the battleship Idaho is destined for an
early grave.
Failure of congress to appropriate
funs for reclamation has undoubtedly
been due largely to misunderstanding
of the true situation. Seeing is be-
lieving. Idaho and the west should
get money for reclamation shortly. 1t
