Tn. Diminution of Governor Cox

It is a good thing for Governor Cox that the campaign is nearly It demonstrated from the beginning that a presidential contest big enterprise for the caliber of Governor Cox. As it proceeded the governor constantly descended and diminished. He became peevish and disposed to engage in small pickering with all who disagreed with him. He made personal affair all disputes of a public character. He questioned the motives of all oponents. It seemed to occur to him that two parties could hon. estly differ and neither be of being quite right
 Governor Cox has everywhere detected spiracy against him. Not long ago he complained that the newspapers were banded together do him dirt" when a matter of fact space being given by the strengthening agencies to the tour,s of Governor Cox than the movements of Senator Harding. So marked this that several good republicans who lare not familiar with news paper technic have complained to The Republican that it giving news space and greater prominence to Cox than to Harding. We could only explain that had printed what the Associated Press had and that very naturally the appearance of Governor Cox at new place every day fruitful of than the daily reception held by Senator Harding his porch. Likewise in 1896 the of the country by Mir. Bryan developed interesting news than the quiet gatherings on the lawn of the home of Mir. Mckinley at Canton, Ohio
 The latest closeup have of Governor Cox is in an undignified quarrel with small boys in Ohio towns. We will confess that the small boy. that is. the boy between the age of 12 and IS is frequently nuisance. He do the most provoking things. We blamed very much Elijah for "sicking" the bears upon the boys who annoyed him. but we thought quite much of that major prophet we should have done if he had yielded to irritation because those youth directed attention offensive manner to his need of hair restorer
 And if our estimate of the size of Governor Cox had not been steadily declining as the campaign heightened. it would have fallen with a hard jolt when read that he had got into a quarrel with little boys at wapakonea, Ohio, and called them when they had denied that they were not in the employ of the Republican NationA committee to annoy him.

 And then too. private 1uncheons andf dinners at the Ranch House are fast becoming the thing. and although the Ranch House only recently opened its doors it promises to be the social rem dezvoss for Phoenix society folk. It really is such a lovely way to entertain, don't you think, to ask a number of friends to dine with you at such a de- lightful place as the Ranch House. And you can feel assured that dinner will be perfectly prepared and as per- fectly served. Mrs. Allison has invita- tions out now for a dinner to be given there next week and I know. of several more affairs that will be given at the Ranch House.
 And later on in the season, after the ater suppers will be a special attraction at the Ranch House. as will suppers to precede or follow dancing parties. And afternoon teas are already on in. full swing. for hardly day passes but that a group of women may be seen at the dainty tables, each with her group of friends. During the time that Mrs. Allison and Marjorie and I were there We saw several of the smartest women in Phoenix come in with their friends.
 But the women haven't a monopoly on the Ranch House. Indeed not. Every day at noon a large number of business men are in the pretty home like rooms, chatting with friends and eating the delicious noontime luncheon. And it isn't far out to the Ranch House at all. One can walk to North Central

This Tale Tells Of New And Delightful Place In Wrich Many Phoenix People Eat

Don't you think, when you are so tired that you are sure that you can not possibly go single step farther that there is nothing that is quite so refreshing as tea? Especially when YOU can have this tea in a lovely tea room with a group of congenial friends to enjoy it with you? Tea, you know, is almost as old as time itself and has been a favorite beverage for many centuries.
 Yesterday afternoon, just as I had about decided that life was no longer worth living, I met Mrs. Allison and Marjorie, who had been shopping. And they invited me to the Ranch House to tea with them. And I went!
 I wonder if you all know what and where the Ranch House is. It is a new draperies, tyed and dyed in gorgeous some of you may not have heard of it.. But let me assure you that it is one of the most delightful places I have ever found in which to eat either luncheon or dinner.

And l do want to tell you about the adorable little | some four, while a few are for a larger number.

The dietetic geezers claim that I am making booze. They say a little sugar and of starch a trifling bit.

General Woods Message

The message which General Wood is sending out to the and who Loyalty supported him in the primary campaign. cannot but produce a great effect in eementing together the elements of the republican party, not only in the few remaining days of the campaign but in the administration
 The support of General Wood. like that of Colonel Roosevelt. came from two sources. Much of the strength the latter lay in his powerful personal following but. the part of it was in the men and women who were attracted to him by the doctrines he caused be enunciated in the Progressive platform. But how this support was divided was never exactly determined. We remember that William Allen White asked after the 1912 campaign What was the ratio in your state of Roosevelt Progressves to Progressves?" But most of those who had attracted to Colonel Roosevelt by his personality alone embraced his doctrines later and became indstinguishabie from what MT. White. though a warp admirer and follower of Colonel Roosevelt had described as real Progressives." All of them were arrayed against standpatism.
 In 1916 a majority of the progressives fol- lowed Colonel Roosevelt in support of MT. Hughess though somewhat reluctantly In Ohio Kansas and California many them largely for local reasons. did not But in the present campaign. however. great may have been their disappointment at the defeat of General Wood, there was nothing in the public record Cox and certainly nothing in the circumstances attending his nomination. to appeal to them
 A very large majority of progressives at the out set turned to Senator Harding. regretfu. though of his associations. They sympathetic onlookers rather than active co-aborers But now, with the message General Wood to them, in sense, under writing the campaign. and Senator Harding's pur- poses. they win take a renewed interest in the cam paign. looking forward to the real part they will have in the next years in the remaking of the party which was the aim of very large number of the men and who took part in the pro- gressive movement eight years ago,

 At the end of three weeks we heard nothing of the order, and at the close of the fourth week we dropped into the store and told them to forget" the order for the book. We wanted to read it on our vacation, and we were leaving the next day.

 Which is true-very true.
 But we wish Clyde would account for such inexcusable stuff as this that takes the heart out of our swork:
