AWAIT THE FACTS.

And now comes Candidate Cox ask
ing what in the world Chairman Hays
has those two men just ahead of him,
trying to have the Republican press
soft pedal" on his meetings.
We do not believe Chairman Hays
has any one "just ahead of Candidate
Cox. 1t looks too course, and besides
we believe Chairman Hays would not
be party to anything of the kind.
The two men are undoubtedly travel
ing just ahead of the Democratic Can
tfdate and endeavoring to make the
arrangements" as charged in the dis
patches the other day, but there is
"nigger' in the deal and we believe
that when the matter is sifted down
the Republican National Chairman
Will be exonerated of the charge

Here are six good and sufficien
'easons why you should throw Won
support to the Republican ticket :
ne November election:
], The Republicans of the sen-
ate saved the nation from a SIR
render to the League of Nations
with its obligations to send mon
and supply money and munitions
to fight the battles of Europe
z The Republican Congress
cut the demands of the Demo.
cratic administration to the ex.
tent of s2.50O,OO0, 900 and thus
saved that amount to the taxpay-
ers of America.
.. Ihe Republican Congress en-
acted comprehensive merchant
marine law which gives this ma
tion power to prevent other ma.
tfons from discriminating against
American shipping and insures
the establishment of permanent
American ocean routes between
the principal ports of the United
States and all the other impor-
'tant ports of the world.
4. The Republican Congress
passed the Water Power bill.
which encourages private capital
to invest in the construction of
dams and electric plants for the
development of power now going
to waste. which bill safeguards
the public interest by providing
for the regulation of charges and
for the regulation of charges and
for the payment of excessive pro-
fits into the treasury
5. The Republican Congress
passed the oil land leasing bill
which permits the development of
oil lands owned by the govern
ment. but prevents monopoliza-
tion of such lands and secures to
the government proper share of
the returns from the operation of
the oil wells on public domain
s. The Republican Congress
checked the movement of the
Democratic administration toward
government ownership. govern
ment operation. socialism and au-
tocracy. Republicans exposed
and forced the abandonment of
the Democratic policy of coddling
bolshevism
