DEMOCRATS THINK
COX A GOOD CHOICE
TO LEAD BIG RACE

Action taken by the Democratic
national convention Tuesday morning
in nominating Governor James NJ. Cox,
of Ohio, for president, appears to have
met with the approval of a majority Of
the Democratic voters in Wayne
county.
1t Is also probable that if the Demo
cratic voters throughout the sixth
Indiana district had had the opportun-
ity of expressing their preference, the
majority of them would have favored
Cox.
Although he did not indicate whom
he would support prior to his depar-
ture for San Francisco, George w. Pig
man, Of Liberty, one of the two dis
trict delegates to the Democratic
convention, was generally accepted as
a Cox supporter, and it developed at
the convention session Monday that
Mr.. Pigman was the most ardent ad-
vocate Of the Ohio governor on the
Indiana delegation.
Plgman Strong for Ohio Man.
During the balloting Monday after
noon Thomas Taggart, Democratic
candidate for senator from Indiana and
the recognized leader of the Indiana
Democracy, made a personal appeal
! to the members Of the Indiana
delegation that they give their united
support to William G. McAdoo on the
| 28th ballot.
Mr.. Pigman was so strongly opposed
to McAdoo and so anxious to have Cox
nominated that he was the only mem
Der Of the delegation who failed to
comply with Taggart's request. and he
cast his ballot for Cox.
| II &c nf ha
cratic leaders in Richmond that Miss
NJ. E. B. Culbertson. of Richmond. sat
in the convention as a delegate from
the sixth district, as alternate for Mr.
Pappan. of Shelbyville.
Friends here say that Miss Culbert
son was an enthusiastic Cox booster
and was doubtless for him all the
| time.
| While most of the Democratic lead
ers in Richmond expressed themselves
as we'll satisfied with the selection oi
Cox to head their ticket there were q
few party workers who frankly eX
pressed regret over the convention's
! action.
Will Garry Ohio, But
An attorney declared that the nom
ination of Cox meant that he would
carry Ohio but lose the rest of the
country" He stated that the fact thai
Cox was divorced by his first wife
would lose many votes for him, par
ticularly among the women voters.
Another Democratic leader ex
pressed regret that Vice President
Marshall was not nominated fol
president.
Conflicting opinions were expressed
by number of active Republican par
tv workers in Richmond as to the
effect on the political situation the
Cox candidacy would have. AS {
whole, however. Republican leader:
stated they believe that it would bt
easier for Harding to defeat Cox thar

SHIPPER WOULD PUT
R,R.'SyNDER CONTROL

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 6.,-The
Interstate Commerce Commission was
asked today by Cliifor,. Thorne, of
Chicago, representing shippers, to rec
ommend unified operation of the rail
roads under some plan analogous TO
that created by the railroads in 1917
In that way and in that way only
will the carriers be able to function
said he.
While government operations have
been condemned by both railroads and
shippers as an eXtravagant and costly
burden, Mr.. Thorne said that within
three months after the return of the
roads to private control they had fall
en- down in operation and they are
here begging for the most stupendous
rate increase ever known in this or
any other country on the face Of the
earth" "

MERELY A TOUCH OF CHILL

People from the northern states
Who have frequently noticed
The mercury drop three inches
Within very few hours
And get so far below zero
That periscOpe was required
To gather the full particulars,
Think, when they arrive here,
And find that chilly wave
From their several habitations
Has come here to investigate
And sent the mercury
Away down to fifty eight
Not below" you know, but above.
That they most surely right away
Will soon freeze to DEATH"
They are certainly very foolish
To be so wOndrously alarmed;
And they realize it, too,
When they see the thermometer
Becaust after that incident occurs
They brighten right up
And are very much warmer!
One woman, shivering horribly,
Remarked to me on Monday:
i have never been so cold
1T must be far and away
Below that zero mark!
Ugh! Amt it awful
And then when l told her
That the mercury was scoring
At an even fifty-eight above
She looked as if she wanted
To bite off my head!
Then showed the thermometer
And she then and there had a desire
To bite off her own head
For she looked very sheepish,
And loosened her fur collar,
And then unbuttoned her coat
And walked away very happy!
It's funny what difference
One thermometer will make!
The sort Of Gather of yesterday
Is merely for the purpose
or making the winter visitors
Appreciate what we're to have
For every day in day or two.
Then everyone'll be tickled.
Yassum.
/ thank you.

nish makers. While it possesses some
OF the properties of grain alcohol, it
is probably unfortunate that in chem
zeal nomenclature it was ever given
the name of alcohol" The average
inebriate, his brain and stomach
aflame and crying for stimulants, will
drink anything by the name of whis-
key or alcohol no matter how much
virulent and corrosive poison may be
used in its manufacture. Pyroxylic
spirit is so poisonous that a very
small percentage of it added to grain
alcohol makes it "denatured alcohol
and renders it dangerously poisonous
and unfit for any use except in the
arts and for manufacturing purposes.
The recent events in Chicago and sew
eral eastern cities when dozens O.,
persons lost their lives as the result
of drinking the methylic spirit or
wood alcohol, should be most sol
emn warning both to those who drink
and those who are so absolutely lost
to all decency as to dispose of such
poisons to others. All right thinking
people will hope the guilty ones will
be brought to a speedy justice. Or

WHAT WOOD ALCOHOL is

So many people are dying from
drinking wood alcohol that the aver
age reader is asking, What is wood
alcoholic" In the destructive distille
ton of wood there is thrown off be-
sides Acetic acid and tar, several
lighter liquids. One of these is what
the chemists call pyroylic spirit. 1t

distillation and is sometimes called
wood naphtha. After the first distil-
lation it is purified by rehabilitation
when it becomes a colorless, inflam-
mable liquid with more or less CUES.

used in medicine the dose is from ten
to thirty drops. 1t is a ready solvent

COURTS FREE
BEAUTIES SAYS
A CLUbWOMAN

| Detroit, Mich. Jan. This is the
bombshell DR.. Mary Thompson Stew
ems, member of the Detroit House of
Correction Board, dropped in De-
troit's police courts when she urged
members of the Twentieth Century
Club to work for court reform.
1T always has been prophesied that
women will vote for the good looking
men, DR.. Stevens said. But it's GER
tain that judges always release the
hest-looking women who appear be-
fore them in the police courts of this
city"
The clubwomen buzzed with COM
ment on this statement-but this was
only the sizzling of the fuse.
The explosion came in police court.
IF Mrs. Stevens would come down
to police court and try to be of as
sistance to some of the girls and the
women we have here, instead of criti-
cising something else she knows
nothing about doomed Justice Cot
tcr-'well, we would get along bet
ter
He took breath.
Mrs. Stevens has never been in
my courtroom, although ! have invit.
ed her and other clubwomen to attend
and make suggestion" he continued.
And then final blast:
Such charge cannot possibly be
substantiated.
Justice STEMS explosion was more
in the nature of a pretty set piece.
THE statement is too absurd to
comment on he said with a laugh
"Of course | am getting a little old
and | cant see as well as / once did
perhaps that the reason why some
Of the good lockers get away. / sug-
gest that the women come down and
watch the procedure for themselves"
But the big question is still I'M
solved:
Will the women vote for the best
looking men? And, if they do, and
elect them, and the good-looking men
let the goodlooking girls go free,
why, what will the women voters do?
