SLY JIM

An example of Governor Cox's
campaign chicanery, to say nothing
OF his insulting attitude toward his
country, is brought to light by the
New York Suns article written by
it's correspondent travelling with the
Cox encourage.
At Salt Lake City, Utah. after
characterizing the Republican slo-
gan, America First" as synonymous
with the Prussian deutschland uber
allies" Mr.. Cox handed out to the
newspaper correspondents las a
stenographic report of the incident
the speech with these wirds added
America first in the progress of
the world; America the leader in the
readjustment now at hand. What
sort of America first could you have
with Mexico, Turkey and Russia as
our associates as proposed by the
reactionary candidate?"
Mr.. COx's soap-box oratory keeps
him pretty busy simplifying and cor
recting.
Mr.. Cox had plenty of time to
drive "a race horse on the track at
the Minnesota State Fair, but he
was too busy to spend a couple of
hours telling the Senate investigat-
ing Committee what he knew about
the alleged campaign contributions
of the Republicans. He doesn't
even take himself seriously.

EXPANSION CONVENTION

Mr.. and Mrs. Dan Herndon have
returned from st. Louis where they
we're in attendance at the 18th an
nual international Expansion Con-
vention" Of the Rexall Druggists
Four days we're spent at the Mis-
souri, metropolis, and the visit was
pronounced most pleasant.
Beside attending the business ses-
sions of the convention, held at the
Coliseum, the delegates were the re-
cipients OF many social invitations
and entertainment affairs we're num-
erous. Grand opera, fashion shows,
smokers, river rides and barbecues
were on the program which termin-
ated with musicale and dance
atop the world"-on the roof of
the United Drug Co.'S new $1,000,
900 plant at which 800 theatrical
performers appeared.
What st. Louis thinks of the Unit
ed Drug Co. is shown by an editorial
which appeared in st. Louis paper.
1t said, in part:
Every Rexallite delegate here
this week has an interest in St
Louis prosperity amounting to at
least $500. This comes because each
delegate is a share holder i'm the
United Drug Co.. which has just
opened its new plant here. The pros
perity of the shareholders shows the
wonders of the cooperative system
as exemplifed by Louis X. Liggett,
president. st. Louis welcomes the
Rexallite delegates and hopes the
city will extend to them its best hos
pitality."
