fact that there is limit as to tha
amount of tax people are able to
pay: that when conditions were
prosperous, the laying on of taxes
would not be felt SO much, but in
depressions it must be seriously
considered. Congress. he stated,
spends $12,500,000 yearly for TIE
free distribution of the proceedings
of congress- sum greater than
the entire wealth of Noble county.
No cleaner, fairer, more honorable
candidate than Bob Secrest ever ap-
peared on political platform. He
is man who has done things
worth while, and if sent to con-
gress, he will continue to do so.
The last speaker was Governor
George White, the crowd having
waited patiently and attentively
for his coming. Governor White
never appeared in better form,
which shows that he is standing the
strain of his office and of the cam
paign splendidly. He not only has
splayed the part of governor. but he
looks the part. Other states are
writing to Ohio to learn of Governor
Whites methods of balancing the
budget, and of his fine accomplish

deducting the carry over book ac-

While Governor White lays no claim
to oratory, his plain, sensible
business like, straightforward ad-
dress and his rugged honesty and
recognized ability make a tremen-
dous appeal, and we believe that
the people of Ohio will give very
serious consideration and compar-

analysis, wherein has Governor
White fallen down as chief ex-
ecutive? What campaign promise
has he not made good; when has he
not been found doing his duty:
what reason is there for change?
