CAMPAIGN PLANS DISCUSSED
Governor Cox Tells National Commit
tee He Is Confident Democrats
Will Be Victorious

Columbus, Ohio.-Charges that the
Republicans were raising a campaign
fund sufficient to shock the sensibili-
tiles" were made by Governor Cox, the
Democratic presidential candidate, in
an address to the Democratic national
committee, which perfected organiza-
tiOn for the campaign.
The Democrats. Governor Cox de-
clared, will insist upon continuance OF
the senatorial investigation OF cam
paign collections and expenditures and
also will make frequent and detailed
accountings of their finances. The
Democratic platform, he declared, is
"a promissory note" which will be paid
in full, closing his address with
prediction for a November victory.
Governor Cox's address, together
with brief supporting remarks by
Franklin D. Roosevelt, his running
mate, followed election of George II.
White. former congressman of Mari
eta, Ohio, as chairman of the Demo
cratic national committee, and mana
ger of the party campaign. He sue
ceeded Homer S. Cummings of Con-
necticut, who has served for eighteen
months and who desired to be relieved
for other campaign duty.
Mr.. White was chosen after Ed
mond H. Moore, Ohio national commit
teeman, had declined the chairman
ship because of personal reasons and
,,oda nosSih1a Mr. Whites election bV
resigning from the committee and Civ
ing way to him.
Much of the campaign details were
left to Chairman White. He was au-
thorized to appoint special campaign
subcommittee, probably of fifteen
members, and to arrange other de-
tails.
The committee did not fix the dates
for notifying Governor Cox and Mr..
Roosevelt of their nominations, but
the candidates and the new chairman
tentatively chose Saturday, August 7,
for that of Governor Cox, at his home,
Trails End, at Dayton. The following
Monday, August 8, was selected Tor
similar ceremonies for Mr.. Roosevelt
at his home at Hyde Park, N. Y.
Governor Cox's statement regarding
Republican campaign funds and his
pledge of Democratic conduct were
made in a half-hour address upon the
retirement of former Chairman Cum
mings and induction Of Chairman
White.

However-We believe that there is
now an expectant public waiting for
substantially lower prices-lower
than any declines in cost up to the
present would justify.
Our stocks are very full and COM
plete, SO we decided to inaugurate
sale of such magnitude, at selling
prices so much below the regular
quotations, that no one really inter-
ested in the purchase of household
furnishings can ignore this money
saving opportunity. An increased
volume of business must compensate
for the greatly reduced prices.
To those who have never purchased
here-we desire to convince you that
even though only modest expendi-
ture is contemplated, something of
unusual value can always be found
in this establishment.
This Is an opportunity offered the public
to purchase-THE GOODS THAT THEY
