MARTIN Il. DAVEY ADDRESSES
ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING

In spite of the threatening wealth
er, and also the fact that there was
a free show in the opera house,
large crowd was out Tuesday after
noon to hear former Governor Mar
tin L. Davey, Democratic candidate
for governor, speak at an open air
meeting held on the court house es-
planade. Excellent music was fur
nished by both the M. & M. band
and the York township high school
band T. G. Jenkins introduced Mr..
Davey. Before beginning his ad-
dress proper, Governor Davey paid
Mr.. Jenkins fine tribute, stating
that he was recognized not only
throughout the state, but nation us
well, as an outstanding prison head,
and said it was cruel thing when
the present administration framed
him, and in his place put a man not
half so good. He went on to state
how Gov. Bricker had ignored civil
service, the very thing that was in
tended to give protection to those
who fill positions efficiently. Mr.
Davey who spoke for about an hour
was given rapt attention, and was
frequently interrupted with ap-
p1ause.
A summary of his address fol-
lows:
We have heard much of economy
in state government in Ohio during
the past year and eight months The
present governor went to New York,
stood before the ticket window and
paid Is cents of his own money to
buy ticket into the Worlds fair.
The photographers took his picture
and the word came back to Ohio
that the governor had saved the
people of this great state rs cents.
Seventy-five cents; what a great
saving! How much does this mean
to every man. woman and child in
Ohio? When I go to fair as your
governor you will pay my way into
it. I won't try and save you seventy
five cents. But, l did save you $15,-

COURT ORDERS CIRCLE ON
BALLOT FOR PRESIDENT

The Ohio supreme court ordered
last Friday that the November bal
lot bear a circle, which is to be the
same as heretofore, in which vot-
ers can mark their preference for
president and vice president. At the
request of Democratic National
Committeeman Charles Sawyer, the
court directed the secretary of state
to have the circle printed on the ma
tional party column ballot. The cir
Gle, an instrument of straight party
voting, already had been ordered
candidates for statewide offices.
Secretary of State George Neffner
had prepared national party column
ballots bearing squares in which
the voters could mark their 'X' for
the Democratic or Republican nom
inees. The attorneys for Sawyer
contended that the square was mis-
leading, because the voters were ac
customed to- a circle. The Repub-
lican state legislature recently pass
ed law separating the national
and state ticket, which was for po-
litical purposes, with the view Of
beneftting Republican nominees,
and they ordered circle taken from
over the party column ballot, and,
instead had square placed at the
side of the names of the presi-
Dental and vice presidential candi-
dates.
The supreme court found that
the recent legislation separating the
national and state tickets, did not
directly or indirectly repeal the ex-
pressed provisions of statute
which required circle at the head
of party column ballots.
