ocrats from all parts of the country
who attended the Democrats Nation
al Convention here seem pleased with
the party leaders and expect Demo-

the election this fall.
The fact that Cox defeated Hardin,
three times in Ohio is indicative of
his standing there, and the fact that
he is generally considered one of the
strongest men possible to head the
tickets are two of the many reasons
advanced for the expected victory
this fall.
Cox is expected to make an aggres-
sive campaign and is willing to speak

THE two men heading the Demo-
cratic and Republican presidential
tickets are newspapermen. 1t has
been customary for the newspaper
man to work his head and pocket
book off for his party and then, as a
sop, if he sought such recompense, to
be slipped some minor appointment
or a postmastership. That the pro-
fessional is advancing and has higher
ideals is evident when the presidency
becomes in line with gifts especially
when it is evident that ability as well
as service is considered in it's dispos-
ition.

artistic floats in the parade. A num-
ber of business firms also had cars
or floats in the procession.
