mers, whom Mr.. Lee describes as
"plants' who ~innocently furthered the
designs of the swindaer. A group OF
these men was established In each
town where the league did business
; As an illustration, Mr.. Lee cites the
case OF one Of he most prominent
surgeons In an Ohio city, who was
persuaded to join the league. He
bought a tire, which an agent obtain
ed from. q local dealer at the usual
retail price, and then held until the
proper time had elapsed for shipment
from Headquarters. The doctor was
delighted. In a few days the agent
dropped around to see him and asked
how the tire was holding UP. On in-
spection the agent found an imagin-
AIRY fiaw, and insisted upon replacing
at he usual retail price. He left the
supposedly defective tire, saying that
the doctor could it as a spare"
and refused further payment

The letter was used for advertising

UNIQUE PROGRAM AT
N KIWANIS. LUNCHEON

There is always something doing at
Kiwanis luncheon whether speaker
shows up or not. This was well illus
trated at the regular meeting last Fri
day. The speaker was not there. But
G. R. Campbell, the street fair man,
was, and for a half hour regaled the
members with funny stories, winding
up with an act of legerdemain that
placed him in the professional class.
At the meeting today, Friday, Rev.
r. X. Caulk Of st. Paul's Episcopal
church, will deliver an address on the
subject, citizenship"
On the following week it is probable
that the club will be addressed by Prof.
A. r. Hatton Of Western Reserve Uni
versity, on the Charter Form Of Gov
ernment".
AT the request Of the International
Kiwanis president, all Kiwanis clubs
in the international group will observe
Armistce day, which comes on Nov. IL.
It is probable that the local club will
observe the occasion on Thursday even

convention entirely disregarded that
vote, entirely disregarded the express
wishes of the people and not only did
not nominate one of the men
that nine-tenths of the Republi-
can voters voted for, but still worse,
nominated the man who was over
whelmingly defeated in every state
that he ran in, save his own state and
he barely carried this, and did that
by leaders of the old George B. Cox
machine in this state.
FOURTH:-I am against Mr..
Harding because he stands for moth
ing but standpatism, and boss con-
troll. He has been neither wet nor
dry. He seems to be both wet and
dry. Mr.. Harding has been neither
for or against Woman's Suffrage. He
has voted against it and for it, just
as he voted in the senate, thirty times
wet and twice dry. Mr.. Harding is
not honest with the people in the
League of Nations question. He con-
vinces Senator Johnson that he is
absolutely against the League and he
seems to convince Ex-senator Root,
Ex-President Taft and other Republi-
cans who are strong for the League,
that he is for it. Somebody is being
fooled. I want to say again that I
am not a Democrat; also that l am
not Harding Republican. I think
the people will do the country the
most good, and the Republicans in the
end will do the Republican party the
most good, if they defeat Senator
Harding and elect James M. Cox
President.

he appears at close view to be both a
fakir and a blackguard."e
Senator Harding is one of the men
who in 1912, after Ohio at the pri-
inaries, paid for by the taxpayers,
and at which the Republican party in
Ohio said by a $1,000 majority that
they wanted Roosevelt for President,
by trading postofices and other Of
frees, at q Republican convention in
Columbus, after that primary vote, sue
ceeded in getting Taft delegates elect
ed TO Chicago. Mr.. Harding does not be-
ieve in primaries; he has said SO
many times in this campaign. If
the people do not know enough to
vote at primaries do they know
enough to vote at regular elections? +?
Mr. Harding is the King of Stand
Patters. Mr.. Harding belongs to
the George B. Cox, Boies Penrose,
Aldrich Payne outfit Of the Republi-
can party. Mr.. Harding is living in
the past. Mr.. Harding is not a
leader of men; he is a follower. He
has continuously held office since
was boy, and I am unable to learn
of the first thing that he has ever
done in office, aside from drawing his
salary.
THIRD am opposed to Mr..
Harding because Of the way and in
the manner in which he was nomi-
mated this year. The taxpayers paid
for the primaries in nearly every
state here in the North. Mr.. Hard
ing was candidate in almost all of
those primaries. About nine-tenths
Of the Republicans voted in the pri-
maries for either Wood, johnson or
L0wden. The Republican bosses and

LEGION .EMIssARIEs
GET RAW RECEPTION

About thirty members of the local
American Legion Post assembled at
the town hall Tuesday night in re-
sponse to telephone call from Colum-
bus during the afternoon that Legion
representatives would be here to con-
fer with relation to the telegram sent
Saturday by National Commander Gal
braith calling upon all Legion mem
bers in the 14th Congressional dis
.trict to unite in the defeat of G. L.
knight, the Republican candidate.
/; The Legion representatives who ap-
peared at the meeting were James r.
Sites and d. c. Stephenson Of Akron
who came at the direction of the Sum-
nit county Post.
Mr.. Sites, as spokesman, produced
a copy of a set of resolutions from his
Post endorsing the action Of the naton-
al commander, emphatically stating
however, that such action was as far
as any post could consistently go in
the matter, and asking for an express
sion from the Medina Post
Commander John Moore presided
and Immediately took exception to the
action of National Commander Gal
braith, charging the latter with having
intruded upon one of the fundamental
principles of the American Legion. Mr.
Moore also gave as his belief that the
| investigation Of G. Il. Knight had not
been conducted fairly, and that as To-
The Medina sentinel. [volume] (Medina, Ohio) 1888-1961, 1920-10-29

fused permission to Mr.. Stephenson
to speak following the disposition of
the motion.
The Legion members present are not
of one mind in the discourteous if not
rude attitude assumed by Commander
Moore and Mr.. Seymour toward Mr..
Stephenson and Mr.. Sites, both Of
whom are also Legion members, and
came here as delegates from neigh
Dor post, as well as under authority
from still higher superior Legion men.
Many members of the post resent the
direct affront to Messrs. Steph-
enson and Sites, no less than the in
direct slap at their state and national
commanders.
Many also have openly stated that
they do not wish the outcome of the
meeting to be interpreted as a stand
for G. l.. Knight for Congress. It
will be difficult, however, some say, for
any other Interpretation to be placed
upon the rude and peremptory action
taken Tuesday night.

that crowd here in Ohio. Mr.. Hard

ROBBED AT FAIR,

While in the crowd at the street fair
Saturday night Miss Lucille REM,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank REM,
was the victim of a pick-pocket and
7purse-snatcher.
Miss REM had been carrying her
purse for some time and just had plac-
ed it in her pocket, when she sensed a
pull at her coat. Turning around she
saw a<colored man running away with
her purse. =
Miss REM attempted to give chase,
but because Of the dense crowd the
man quickly outdistanced her and got
away.
s2 Sunday morning the purse was
found behind the doors leading to the
stairway Of the Odd Fellows building.
The money was gone.
