5he point, nothing abusive in his en-
tire speech. Half of the audience,
It least, was composed of Nonparti-
sans, who had nothing but good words
for Mr.. O'Connor after the meeting.
His talk was along the lines of a
self, sane government and good citi-

He left the impression with the
voters that if elected he would be
the governor and that clean and
economical administration would fol-
low.
He made many friends.
Sunday at the Killdeer mountains
in this county, he again spoke to a
large and appreciative audience. Two
oxen were roasted at this meeting
which was a success in every way,

HOMES GET GAS
BEFORE PLANTS,
PRIORITY RULE

Columbus, Ohio, Sept. T. House
hold consumers Of natural gas in
Ohio will have first call on all gas
supplies during the winter shortage
under the law. A priority schedule
denying gas to industrial consumers
in time of shortage and giving it to
private users has been announced by
the Ohio State Public Utilities COM
mission.
First on the priority list come
homes, apartment houses and hotels,
plants baking food by gas; then or
dinary business houses; and last fac
tories.
BY this system gas will be avail
able to home owners as long as there
is gas to be had. However, in the
same ruling the commission directs
companies not to supply gas in ex-
cess of $4,000 cubic feet month to
houses. This is sufficient for all
cooking but not enough to heat more
than a small house in extreme wealth.
