REPUBLICANS INSURE.
ECONOMICAL CONDUCT

WashingtOn.-NOt one man In ten
thousand realizes the enormous ex-
penses run up by the present Govern
ment. The disbursements are roughly
$15,O00,0O0 a day, more than year
after the war. In 1914 the people
expostulated because the daily dis
bursements ny the Treasury had
reached $2,O00,0O0. How gladly would
the people groaning under the lmpo-
sitions Of prOfiteers and the burden OF
taxes welcome q return to those hal
cyon days! Congress and the new Ad-
mfnistration will have to deal with
the reduction Of Government expendi-
lures.
The same party that has swelled
them returned to power will never re-
duce them, because 1t claims the gov
ernment Is being economically admin
istered. The Republican party will
delight in reducing these enlarged ex-
penses for clerk hire, and the insa-
liable bureaus that have been built I'D
into money spending machines. BY
holding in their hands all lines of ex-
penditures the new Congress and new
Executive working together will cut
down excessive items and eliminate
others to All aggregate Of hundreds
Of millions Of dollars.

NATION DEMANDS
THORoUGH CHANGE.

Chicago, Oct If one were re-
quired to name single factor which
is doing more than any other to work
toward Republican success In Novem-
Der, he would probably have to say:
Determination of the public to have
change and to get away from VIII
sonism.
:. Reports from all quarters tell of this
feeling, at once a desire for q change
and q determination to bring II about
at the polls November 2.
Whether II be from the central west.
the far west, the east or the south. the
reports tell Of this seeking for n
change. The desire for q change is
born Of dissatisfaction, dislike and dis.
gust felt by the voters toward the VIII.
son administration and the things II
has done and left undone.
Mr.. Cox Is looked on as n man who
II no were elected would follow the
track Of Mr.. Wilson. In fact, he has
declared himself in complete Accord
with Mr.. Wilson.
The PUBLIC by all accounts, Is not
looking for z man who will go along
with Mr.. wilson or the Wilson policies.

FAVOR Of FARMERS
FOR GROESBECk
WELL EXPLAINED
L. WHITNEY WATKINS SAYS THEY
LIKE THE WAY GRoEsBEck
.nla APPROACHES PROBLEMS
FARMERS ASK NO FAV0RS

One Of the most significant develop.
ments of the present campaign In
Michigan, has been the unusual degree
of friendliness and favor that has come
to Alex J. Groesbeck, the Republican
candidate for Governor, from the
farmers Of the state and from the
people of the farming sections and
counties.
This feature of the campaign has
been we'll explained by L. Whitney
Watkins. Farm Bureau leader and q
former progressive candidate for gov
ernor, In behalf of himself and his
thousands of farme- friends.
I'VE farmers like the way Mr.. Groes-
beck approaches public problems" ex.
planned Mr.. Watkins. I'VE liked the
way he conducted the affairs of the
attorney generals office with a saving,
in various ways, of two million dollars
to the people, and we liked the way
he called the farmers In after he was
nominated and asked them what they
thought was best for the economic
welfare Of not only themselves but Of
all the people of the State Of Mich.
igan.
"Mr. Groesbeck didn't do this when
he needed the farmer vote most-be-
fore the primary. We believe his elec-
ton was already assured when, after
his nomination, he came to US and
asked US what we needed. In the
primaries he left the farmers to Mr..
Campbell. The conference with our
leaders afterward was the first time in
history to my knowledge, a guberna-
torial candidate ever sought us out to
discuss affairs with us.
Thousands of farmers wanted Mr..
Campbell for governor. feeling he
knew the needs of the agriculturist.
Mr.. Campbell's friends are now with
Mr.. Groesbeck. they recognize the
Republican candidate Is broad enough
to include their own business IS pro.
ducers Of food along with other basic
industries In his .lans In behalf of
the state at large.
AFTER all, what is of greatest benefit
to the farmer is of benefit to the con-
sumer and we believe Mr.. Groesbeck
recognizes this. Any~ne who traces
to its ultimate destination the money
he spends for commodities will dis
cover that 1t isn't the farmer who gets
an unjust share. The money disap-
pears in other places between the pro.
ducer and the consumer, oftentimes
the cost and delays of transportation
alone amounting to several times what
the producer gets for his stuff The
farmer wants and demands absolutely
nothing but adequate recognition and
square deal.
"Mr. Ferris. the Democratic nominee
is pointing to his record as reason
for sending him back to Lansing. Mr..
Ferris has no personal record of
achievement in public Office. AS Gov.
ernor he was fortunate in having a
corking good Republican Legislature
and about the only thing that can be
said for Mr.. Ferrij Is that he did
nothing to block the good work of this
legislature"
Mr.. watkins said he believed Mr..
Groesbeck had succeed ed in uniting
all factions of the Republican party
and bad the support of an organ zation
With an unbroken front.

LEADERS OF NATION
unite IN URGING
HARDING'S ELECTION
FIFTEEN PRESIDENTS OF COL
LEoEs AND UNIVERSITIES JOIN
IN IMPRESSIVE STATEMENT

One Of the most impressive docu-
ments OF the presen, campaign Is pro-
vided through a statement made by al
most two score of the men OF ma
tion-wide prominence who were early
and urgent in their favor for action on
the part of the United States In the
way OF an organization Of nations In
opposition to war and for the main
tenance Of peace end good will.
This statement Is headed by Elihu
Root, Charles Evans Hughes and DR..
Lyman B. Abbott. 1t contains the
names of fifteen president of colleges
and universities including Harvard,
Princeton, Columbia. Cornell. Amherst
and Dartmouth. and is further sub
scribed to by men who have given
time and thought to the entire League
of Nations subject.
This.united group of men join In urg-
ing the election Of Senator Harding
and the defeat of Governor Cox. Here
Is one of the most significant para
graphs Of the document issued to the
American people:
1--WE believe that we can most effec-
lively advance the cause Of interna-
tIonal cooperation to promote peace
by supporting Mr.. harding for election
to the presidency"
No othor statement with reference
to the presidential campaign ow in
progress has received the attention
and created such profound impress
sion as this appeal by the foremost
statesmen and educational leaders of
the United States. for the election Of
the Republican president in the in
terest of world wide peace.
