THE RECORD or A PARTY

Vic Donahey, I'm the first address he
has made since being urged to run for
governor by nearly every committee
in the state, told Ohio voters the
story OF the Democratic battle to
drive the plunderbund away from the
treasury of Ohio. Vic Donahey, Gov.
Cox and ex-Gov. Harmon, three out.
standing Democrats, have saved mil
lions to the taxpayers in Ohio and es.
tablished business methods in Ohio

time. The story Of the changing of
the old order in Ohio begun by Gov
Harmon, carried into complete exc.
cution by Gov. Cox and Auditor Don.

q credit to the Democratir party 1t
is an achievement that is without par.
allel I'm Ohio history and probably in
the nation as well.
And that is why Ohioans are tell
ing the nation that Governor Cox ia
the man best fitted to guide the ma
tional destiny for the next four years
and are insisting that Auditor Dona-
hey Is the logical successor to Cover.

work forward in Ohio.

Regardless OF the question whether

that "a battalion Of Belgian troops,
800 strong, with bands playing and

That Is all. but ia II not full of food
for thought? Can II be imagined with
what feelings OF satisfaction those
800 Belgian soldiers marched into and
occupied German territory? "Bands
playing and flags flying" says the
dispatch. Yes, and hearts beating
and pulses throbbing, too. all in uni

the occasion.

THE OVERALL IDEA

The overall club" movement Is of
interest and Importance chiefly as
hint of what people may do along var
ious lines OF expenditure II they will
only get q proper slant" on sane liv-
ing.
BY taking to blue denim Overalls, in
large numbers, men are striking a
telling blow at such profteering as
there may be in the regular clothing
business, and teaching manufacture
ers, dealers and tailors to be content
with more moderate profits. They are
also performing the valuable service
of conserving fine wool. OF which
there is q worldwide scarcity, and
substituting for 1t more plentiful
material. This is what might be call
ed q scientific economic service.
But more desirable than any i'm.
mediate benefit from this odd innova-
tion is the thoughtfulness 1t may in
duce as to the general problem Of per-
sonal outlay, and the blessed econom-
les that may result II the lesson is
learned.
II Is not only in clothing that our
people have been demanding the
scarcest and most costly material and
the finest workmanship. The same
luxurious tendency has spread through
nearly all phases OF personal and fam
lily life. Il Is found In the choice Of
food and furniture, OF jewels. art
works, automobiles, houses, building
materials, amusements. Everywhere,
there has grown up an abnormal de-
mand for the rare, the luxurious, In
stead of the simple and comparatively
inexpensive thing which would ordi-
narily serve the purpose just as well.
1t is a good time to take to over
alls when woolen suits cost SO much.
The cotton is cooler and more COM
Portable for summer use than wool.
and no stigma attaches to material or
color or cut when Everybody" adopts
It. Let the overall idea be applied to
food, eliminating the scarce, exotic,
unreasonable and expensive articles
in favor of the simple, wholesome,
plentiful commodities that have al
ways been the standards OF sane liv
ing. Let tastes in furniture, rugs, per.
sonal adornment, diversion, ETC., be
likewise simpl!iied. Let the simple
and useful thing become mark of
distinction, instead OF the complex,
the luxurious and the flimsy. Then
we shall be more happy and comfort
able than we are now; and the cost
of living will take care of Itself.
The chief thing wrong with this
country Is not any external economic
situation, but the state of mind of the
people.
