STATE HELPLESS IN
GASOLINE SITUATION

Salem, Aug. 10,-Although Cover
nor Olcott and State Treasurer Hoff
admit the injustice of the present
situation which has resulted in ma
terial increase in gasoline prices now
being furnished to Oregon consumers,
following the waiver of the gravity
test law in order to tide over the en-
ergency in the motor fuel oil supply,
both declare themselves powerless to
remedy the situation. To enforce the
specific gravity test provided under
the Oregon law at this time would
only result in complicating the situa-
tion by shutting off the scanty sup
ply that has been made available to
Oregon consumers.
Oregon, as is every other state, is
helpless at the hands of the oil COM
panies," declared Governor Olcott
this morning. ''It has to take what is
offered at the price demanded or
leave it alone. If any relief is forth
coming it must be through federal
regulation and at the present time
there is no provision for any relief
from that source"
Governor Olcott declares that there
was no price consideration in connec-
tion with the conference between
state officials and representatives of
the oil companies which resulted in
waving the gravity test in an effort
to tide over the emergency.
THE increase in the price Of gaso-
line has not changed the situation one
bit as l view it," the governor said.
ITS simply a question of supplying
the demand with the best that is a.
yailable."
Agreement Violated.
State Treasurer Hoff, who, as state
sealer of weights and measures, per-
mitted the importation and sale of
gasoline of a grade lower than that re-
CURED by the state law, declares, how
ever, that the increase in price vi
olation of the spirit if not of the let
ter of the agreement between the
state officials and the oil companies
at the time the bars were let down
on the gravity test. He, too, how
ever, admits his helplessness to rem
edy the situation, which he declares
is in control Of the oil companies.
No action will be taken toward put
ting up the bars on the gravity test,
it is stated, until the emergency shall
have been passed or until such action
is justified by a general demand on
the part of the consumers of the
state

trusting to the ignorance and credu-
lity of their readers, are now hail
ing Cox as great vote getter. This
statement almost parallels that of
the governor himself that he "Neyer
learned how to side-step anything"
Every election return concerning
Governor Cox in the State of Ohio
shows that he is not a vote getter.
This is especially true of the rural
Democratic counties. The returns
from thirteen of the most reliably
Democratic counties in the state
when analyzed for the four elections
will show how little Of fact there is
behind the statement that Cox is a
vote getter.
Vetoed Good Roads Bill
Cox's claims in the face of election
figures are comparable to his claim
for accomplishment in Ohio. His
campaign literature sets forth long
category of what "He secured. :"
These claims are fifty-two in num-
ber. They will be taken care of as
the campaign progresses. AS an il
lustration of what this Cox will claim
outside of Ohio, one outrageous
falsehood may be mentioned here.
Cox claims to have given honest sup
port to the Good Roads" move
ment in Ohio, whereas, in fact, he
actually vetoed the comprehensive
and progressive road law passed by
the last Republican legislature,
which the legislature in turn passed
over the governors veto.
All the claims made by him and
his henchmen tend to but one conclu-
sion that in politics, at least, he is a
reincarnation of the fictional Dr.
Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde.

COX'S vOTE-GETT|NG IS
CLAIMS FALSE PRETENSE
Has Never Been Elected In Ohio In
a Straight Fight-Decisively De-
feated In 1914.

There is big surprise in store for
the Democrats who were deluded in
to giving Governor Cox the nomina-
tion on the strength of his claim that
he is great vote getter" in Ohio.
Only general ignorance Of actual
facts enabled his political henchmen
to carry through this deceptive argu-
ment with the Democrats from states
other than Ohio.
The following facts have been sent
to state chairman Thos. II. Tongue
by George II. Clark. chairman of the
Ohio Republican Advisory Committee
and are based on cold, incontroverti-
BILE figures from the election statistics
in the office of the Secretary of State
of Ohio, are that Governor Cox never
won straight-away fight against the
Republicans.
Cox's claim to vote getting may
have induced the Federal Nephews"
at San Francisco to swing into line at
the last, but his claims fade away
into the ridiculous when examined in
the lime-light of official election re-
turns Of the last ten years. Governor
Cox's gubernatorial history is in a
nutshell this:
He first wormed into the executive
chair in 1912 as the choice Of min
ority of the electorate on account of
the Progressive split in the Repub-
lican party.
DecisiveIy Defeated In 1914
When Cox came up for reelection
in 1914 two years later he was de-
cisively defeated. although the Pro-
gressives still polled strong vote
for their gubernatorial party.
In 1916 Cox proflted by the dupli-
city and deceit Of Wilson's slogan,
HE kept us out Of war" and SO he
again sidled into the governors chair
by thin-ice plurality of 6,616.
In 1918 Cox managed to slip into
the governors chair by plurality of
less than $4,000. Those who have
an intimate knowledge of politics
know that Cox's election IN 1918 was
nothing more than fluke. 1t was
due to the dissatisfaction on the part
OF special interest in a single coun-
ty which normally Republican went
for Cox.
Facts and Figures
This resume Of the four elections
in which Cox has been a candidate
for governor in Ohio is fully sustain
ed by facts and figures. In more de-
tail the history of the four state con-
tests in which Cox has been a candi-
date for governor is as follows:
In 1912 the three candidates for
governor and their votes we're: Cox,
439,323; Brown (Republican), 272,-
500; and Garford (Progressive),
217,S03.
Through this division Of the Re-
publican ranks Cox was elected by
plurality of 166,S23. The analysis
of the official returns shows that the
Republican vote in that year was
49O,4O3. This means nothing else
than that Cox was a minority candi-
date by the wide margin Of 81 ,0SU.
In 1914, after Cox had served one
term as governor and had made his
record" he was defeated by Willis
(Republican) who came through with
a plurality over Cox of 1920, des-
pite the fact that the Progressives
ran their own ticket and polled co.
904 for Garford In this 1914 cleo
tion Willis received 523,074 votes
while Cox received 493,S04 votes

Central university was formerly a

sectarian school and finally became
the property Of private interests. 1t
is alleged that the financial affairs of
the school have been managed loosely.
1t is said that degrees have been
given without proper qualifications be-
ing required. 1t is alleged that mail
course has been given by means OF
which degrees were granted by cor
respondence. . 4
The charter Of the school will be re-
voked, authorities say, If it is found
that the allegations are true. The col
lege has the power to issue degrees
under its original charter, but it must
maintain the required standard or for
felt its right.
