when Ohio miners were out of
work pending wage contract ne
gotiotions, the economy-loving
Bricker refused to pay to them
the insurance that was rightfully
theirs under the law. People
starved in order that he could go
to New York and point with
pride" to huge reserves. In
short Bricker, thinking himself
of presidential caliber, has been
running for the presidency when
he should have been serving the
people of this state as governor.
1t was a job he was being paid
to do"
Davey ridiculed the Bricker
economy claims saying he
(Bricker) didn't know the first
thing about economy. Give
minutes before quitting time one
day." he charged, $1,000 state
highway laborers were discharg-
ed in a manner that would have
been abhored if it had happen
ed in a private industry. The
next day they were replaced with
inexperienced Republicans and
at that moment accidents on the
highways began to mount" The
present governor, he stated, has
spent one and one-half millions
more in salaries his first year
than "my administration did in
it's last"
Regarding economies to the
people of his state, Davey cited
the saving of $40,000,000 in tax
reductions over his four year
period. He itemized these as fol-
lows: $12,000,000 in abolishing
the sales tax on food, still more
on bottled beer, in license fees
for automobiles and farmers
trucks, in real estate taxes and
his veto of numerous appropria-
tions. "Bricker," he charged,
"has failed to use his power of
veto on one appropriation to
date. He might pinch pennies
for the safe of appearing in
news pictures as a frugal execu-
tive, but he spends it recklessly
on political machine purposes.
And while doing so he ignores
the moral and humane response
bilities placed upon him by the
state"
This "penny pinching," he ac-
cused would eventually lead to
the collapse of the Ohio State
Fair, an institution 1--WE built to
the finest of it's kind in the
world. "Church women who spon-
sor food concessions for the ben
eft of their parishes have been
made to pay admission to the
grounds every time they enter.
Concessionaires are treated in
the same manner, and agricul-
tural exhibits have hit a new
low," Davey told his audience.
He accused Bricker of at
tempting to foist on the people
of Ohio law that would legal
ize collection of campaign con-
tributions from civil service en- y
ployes, and complimented the
voters of the state for repudiat-
ing it.
The meeting was opened by A.
D. Lockwood, president of the
Licking County Democratic Club,

Ghost Basketball
Initiated Here:
Played at HiGym

Newark's first "Ghost Basket
ball" game, the new sensational
game which is sweeping the
country this season, will be play
ed in the High School gym on
Monday, March IL, it was an
nounced by o. A. (Ted) Helser,
chairman of the YMCA basket
ball leagues. Ghost Basketball
is played in complete darkness
with specially treated suits, ball
and boundary lines. The action of
the game is thoroughly visible to
spectators, according to the pro-
moters of the event, and yet the
players themselves are hidden
from view.
The enthusiastic turnout in
other communities to see the
game leads local promoters to
believe that large audience will
be on hand to see the event.
Assisting Mr.. Helser on the
committee in charge of the event
will be R. S. Woltjen, chairman
of the physical committee at the
YMCA-; H. Ray Clark, physical
director; Ed. Schrack, sports
editor of the Advocate; Fred
Bope, chairman of the Y Church
Basketball League; Dominic
Cannizzaro, Robert Schenk, Ches-
ter Rucker, and Lew Evans rep
resenting clubs and fraternities
in the YMCA; and Richard Phar-
is of the Newark United Tire
store.
In addition to the game of
"Ghost Basketball", a varied pro-
gram is being arranged by the
committee in charge, which will
include a girls basketball game,
special music, and the champion
ship game in the Y-Industrial
basketball league.
Tickets are on sale at the pres
ent time through members of
YMCA clubs and league teams
and are also available at Ray
Hull's Wallpaper store, Fees
Dairy Bar, the YMCA desk.
Posters describing the event have
been placed in many stragetic
spots throughout the city and
are being distributed in the
county by Mr.. Pharis.

. Concerning People
Sherman ]. BaggS
Fraternalist :. Civic Stalwart
Civic Stalwart

No small part of his time, ac-
cording to the Masonic Publica-
ton, is devoted to religious and
civic duties. He is a member of
the Session of the Second Pres
byterian Church and superin-
tendent of the Church School,.
He is chairman of the Licking
County Chapter Of the American
Red Cross, and while his name
has never appeared on the Off
cial roster of the Newark COM
munity Chest, his efforts each
year in the merchants division
of the drive play a most import 1
ant part in it's success.
Mr.. and Mrs. Baggs observed
last October the 25th annivers- 1
ary of their marriage. She was
formerly Miss Genevieve Brown
of Ashville, N. G. A daughter,
GeGnevieve Baggs Oxley, New
York City, is engaged in social
service work there. She was
graduated cum laude from Duke
University in 1888. Their son,
Joseph, is majoring in engineer
ing at Miami University.
The Masonic tribute like ALL
others, has been we'll earned by|
Mr.. Baggs. So our hats are off

groups to a successful career

of Commerce, and one who
knows the habits, energies and
willingness of it's members. And
it is about Sherman J. Baggs,
two-term president of that or
ganization and now a member of
it's board of directors.
Mr.. Baggs' activities extend
into many fields. They touch on
the fraternal, civic, religious and
educational. In fact they do
more than touch. They break
through the surface and become
a part of the swim of things.
When asked he takes the lead
and under that leadership of his,
much that is good has come
through for Newark.
He has been honored numer-
Gus times. Citations have run
from spoken words of praise to
words in black and white on pap
er. Most recent to pay him trib-
ute is the Newark Masonic Pub
lication, issued monthly in the
interest of Masonry.
Witness his record in that con-
nection. Sherman J. Baggs
served as Worshipful Master of
Newark Lodge No. 81, during
1913 in the Masonic hall, Rider
building, before the present tenn
pie was built and dedicated. He
is a member of Warren chapter,
Bigelow Council, St. Luke's Com
mandery, a life member of Scio-
to Consistory, Scottish Rite, the
Grotto and Aladdin Shrine of Co.
lumbus. He served two terms
as Newark Lodges trustee on
the Masonic Temple board"
Mr.. Baggs is manager of the
Roe Emerson Store, one of New
ark's oldest mems furnishings
stores, now well past the half
century mark in years. Still
another business connection is
the directorate he holds in the
Newark Trust Co.
His education was completed
in 1910 at Denison University,
at which time he was elected
permanent president of his class
and a member of the alumni
council.
