LIEUTENANT COLONEL
COLE IN TOLEDO

Ralph D. Cole of Findlay, candi-
date for the Republican nomination
for governor, emphasized in his
speech before the Spanish War
Veterans here last night that the
Spanish American Mar sands out
alone as conflict in which the
United States entered with purely
humanitarian motive to aid a
neigh5or in bar fight for freedom,
Mr.. Cole said, in part:
The Spanish American war occu-
pies an unique position in the annals
OF the Republic. Our participation
In that war stands unmatched
among nations in ,unselflihness. It
was not conflict to maintain
American rights. It was not fought
for national aggrandizment or the
extentlon of American DOMAIN, sal-
though that was one of the incl
dents of the conflict. It was fought
for the deliverancc # Cuua from
tyranny and oppression of the worst
type. l believe it stands alone in
all history as one nation voluntarily
going to war TO redeem another
people from political thraldom.
Therefore the Spanish American
both as to its inception, cause and
results, occupies an unique position
not only in the annals of the Re.
public but in the history of the
world and the veterans of that wal
who volunteered their services are
entitled not only to the gratitude Of
their own country but to the re
spect of all nations and humanity
at large for their unselfsh devotion
to thei deals of freedom.

GENERAL LEONARD WOOD
In The Lead in the Republican Primary Contest
ties That Appeal to The American Citizen
AS Chairman John II. Price Sees
The Campaign

Facing disaster and certain defeat
the astute managers of the Harding
presidential campaign in Ohio, led
by Harry Daugherty Of "2:11 a. M"
fame are dragging in other candi-
date in the hope of splitting the
old Dosevelt vote which now Is
solidly behind Leonard Wood. This
is evidenced by the propaganda
favorable to Herbert Hoover and
Hiram johnson which is being wide
ly spread by the Harding agents;
also by the fact that the Harding
pie are paying Hoover organiza-
ton expenses, including headquart-
ers rent, and guaranteeing Hoover
printing bills in certain instances.
Mr.. Daugherty and his associates
figure that by boosting Hoover and
johnson many who are opposed to
Harding and naturally would vote
for Wood will be persuaded to write
in the name of one or the other of
these superhuous candidates.
II is of course obvious that every
opponent of Harding who writes in
Johnson's name or Hoover's name
on the ballot is in fact voting for
Harding. Johnson knows this,
Hoover knows this. Harding knows
this. But Leonard Wood is the lead
ing candidate and both Johnson and
Hoover are very much more willing
to have the delegates from Ohio
hand-picked by Mr.. Daugherty and
captained by him elected than the
Wood delegates. They know
Daugherty is a good trader and
feel that he might possibly pull
off his celebrated "2:11 A. M"
meeting in their behalf if opportu-
nifty afforded.
The Hoover movement is being
cleverly manipulated by the Hard
ing people to their own advantage
The leaders of it are simply being
m\'led u real polititll manipuEa-
tors. like Mr.. Daugherty, who arc
much to clever for them. At the
hest Hoover will only get sratter-
ing vote, but Mr.. Daugherty figures
that much of this would naturally
go to Wood if the game was played
according to the rules established by
the primary law.
General Leonard Wood has 1873 de
legates to the Republican natiaona
convention either instructed for him
for president or publicity committed
to him. This announcement WIS
nrade late Saturday by the OhiC
Leonard Wood committee. Th'
"score" to date, as announced fol
lows:
Wood, 1873.
Iowden 40.
Johnson 81.

twice as many delegates as all the
competitors combined and nearly
four times as many as his nearest
competitor, Governor Lowden Of
Illinois. According to the Wood
committee, the Illinois executive by
his failure to carry Chicago and his
poor showing in Minnesota, South
Dakota and Michigan is practically
eliminated as a serious contender
in the presidential race.
According to a statement from
John H. Price, chairman of the
Ohio Statel Wood Qampaigtn Com
mittee which appears below Leonard
Wood is leading in the race for
the Presidential nomination on the
Republican ticket. This naturally
raises the question, why? There
may be many and various answers
to that question, but as we get it
here are two or three:
General Woods record is pretty
well known and it impresses the
average man with the conviction
that General Wood is a good exec1-
tive, that he is in the habit of
performing any duty which may de-
volve upon him without fear or
favor: That he has high regard
for the law of the land and seems
to be successful in impressing that
regard upon the minds of some peo-
pie who are not disposed to consider
anything or any one but their own
ideas and desires: That he has
very good judgment and knows how
to exercise it. All these things
taken together seem. to indicate to
the average mind of the average
man that Leonard Wood is the kind
of man that is needed as chief ex-
ecutive of this nation iuss at this
time when steady hand and 2
cool head is needed in the White
House. A man will hold the worF
he has to do and the interests OF
the nation he serves above his ner-
sonal ambitions and interests Cen
e1al Wood has ..lso demonstrated
his ability to act and acr right ir
an emeroencv as at Omaha anf
Gary and that he is actually capable
of representing and actins for :
great nation in a time of gre elt
crisis.
1t is also the popular idea thai
General Wood stands on the middle
ground so far as National policies
are concerned.
He is certainly not a reactionarl
or "Stand-pat-er" nor is he an ex
treme radical-and for that reason
he is regarded as the safest anC
sanest of the presidential candi
dates.

vising the camp work and asserted
that the latter fixed things to suit
themselves. He described how NIL
lions of feet of lumber were de-
liberately burned at Camp Sherman
how tons of nailE were thrown into
nearby river and canal how team
andm otor trucks were kept on the
contractors payroll without anv
work for them to do and hundreds
OF workingmen~ were allowed to loaf
for days playing poker and shoot
ing craps. This condition, charged
Mr.. McCulloueh, was largely the re-
suit OF the "cost-plus" system be-
cause the more money the contrac-
tors spent the greater were Their
profits.

competent men who will take the
positions for less than $50 per week.
The engineers at the Water Works
work seven days in the week, in
eight hour shifts.

ed that the salary ordinance be am
nended to make the maximum pay
of Water Works engineers, $50 per
week from and after April 18th,

structed to draft such ordinance for
action at the next regular meeting.
The matter Of the enactment of
an ordinance fixing the rates charg-
ed for telephone service in the Will
age of Wauseon was taken up and
discussed. The question was brought
up by reason of raise in telephone
rates in Wauseon, made by the
Northwestern Telephone Company,
the reason given being the advance
in wages (which the Company is
forced to pay operators. -
The advance in rates amounts to
approximately 15c per month for
residence phones and 40c per month
for business phones. After discus
sion the president appointed Messers
Bachman, Barkdull and Weber to in
vestigate the matter and report at
the next regular meeting.

DECEPTION THAT FAILED

Inc of the early public procla-
nations issued by Secretary of the
Treasury Houston after he moved
over from the Department of Agri-
culture was that the public debt
had been cut 100000 during
the month of March. Immediately
Republican leader Mondell of the
House of Representatives, exposed
the fallacy of the claim and the
Treasury Department had to issue
an explanation which acknowledged
that there would be deficit in
stead of a surplus for the nine
months of the current fiscal year. It
will be a long, long time before the
public will read any more pro-
nouncements from the Treasury De-
partment without raising a ques-
ton as to their accuracy,

REPUBLICANS FOR PEACE

The Republicans vote on the peace
resolution in the House showed 21S
Yeas and only 2 Nays. The ballot
correctly reflected the sentiment cf
members on the Presidents peace
treaty. It is the first time that the
House has had an opportunity to
cast vote on the principles en-
bodied in the League of Nations and
the practical unanimity of Republic
esn Imposition bears out the con-
clusion reached from theu unanimous
vote of Senate Republicans that the
sentiment of the country is all but
unanimous against the International
ism of the President as expressed
in thel eague covenant.
