Jeffreys Attacks
Bricker at Old
Pensioners Rally

Raymond j. Jeffreys (Repub-
lican) formerly with the State
Division of Aid for the Aged,
severely scored John Bricker
for failing to keep his pre-elec-
tion promises to the old age
pensioners Of Ohio, at meeting
of the pensioners of Licking
county, held in the High School
gymnasium, at Newark, Monday
night, Oct. ID.
This was one of a series of
similar meetings being held all
over the state to form county
branches of the Ohio Society of
Old Age Pensioners. The names
of all those interested in organ
izing a local society were taken
at the close of the meeting, and
another meeting will be called
soon to elect officers.
Jeffreys said, "When you are
organized like the Chamber of
Commerce, veterans and other
groups, politicians will not dare
to exploit you for your votes be-
fore election and then break
their promises after election, as
Bricker has been doing for two
years."
The State organization unani-
mously endorsed Martin L. Da-
vey for Governor, at their state
convention held in Columbus re-
Gently.
I. J. Johnson, of Columbus,
state president, accompanied Mr..
Jeffreys and conducted the Off
cial organization work. He also
explained the activities of the
state organization.
Colonel Yearick, candidate for
probate and juvenile courts,
made a short talk and number
of candidates for various Off
ces were introduced.

Motorists Happy

Newark motorists finally
got a break. We refer to
elimination of the long wait

or another in efforts to
figure out a method where

safe.

Wildcats Meet
Marietta Friday
In Homecoming

With five games under their
belts without defeat the Wild
cats will tangle with the power
full Marietta Tigers in the home
coming game at White field,
Friday, Oct. 18 at 8 p. m.
The Wildcats have been i'm
pressive this year with great
striking power through the lines,
and a powerful defense. On the
other hand the Tiger backfield
has accounted for 81 points
against the opponents six in two
central Ohio league games, and
are winners in four out of five
during the season.
The game will probably be the
toughest one of the schedule for
the Wildcats, but they have the
machine with which to win, if
all are clicking.

TwO-FOld Epoch

. The inaugural program
for President Kenneth l.
Brown, which begins Oct.
18, marks a two-fold epoch
in the history of 110-year
old Denison university,
Licking county's largest
Aeducational institution. 1t
marks the Inauguration of
"a man young in years, he
being but "A years old, but
rich in experience in point
of service and degrees. At
the same time, DR.. Avery
A. Shaw officially retires
after 13 years of capable
administration, to become
!. president emeritus of the
: university.
1t is significant of the
Importance of the occasion
in educational circles when
it becomes known that
, more than 200 colleges and
universities are sending
representatives for the
inaugural service.
4 DIR Brown holds degrees
from the University of Ro-
chester and Harvard uni
versity, and comes to Gran
vile following ten years as
: president of Hiram college.
Denison is fortunate indeed
to obtain the services of an
educator, so young in years,
yet old in experience. The
university, under his firm
guidance, should forge
>Aahead to greater accom-
pliShments.
DR.. Avery A. Shaw, al
though retiring from active
participation in the admin
istrative affairs of the in
! stitution, has accomplished
a great work, and his ex-
penditure of effort in be-
half of the university dur
Aing the time he was it's
head, will be a stable in
fluence for many years to
come.

DELCO, Aug. 25.-While visiting
tobacco markets of Columbus
county we have met many of our
acquaintance who are tobacco
growers.
]. B. King said that he had
some of the finest tobacco this
year that he has ever grown.
W. A. Coleman had just made a
fine sale and was wishing that he
had brought larger offering.
Mrs. Castor Batten said that all
the weed she had seen sold this
year apparently was bringing sat
lsfactory prices. She was amused
at the chant Of the auctioneer.
W. j. Moore was not looking a
bit worried over the situation, he
having just received fine check
for a small portion of his crop.
Lutus Wise put only small
amount on the warehouse floor that
he usually patronizes, but he was
quite satisfied with the returns.

the young men are going away tc

little is being said. Even the

optimistic about whether they will

Of course, tobacco isn't doing all
this, it is merely an interesting
interlude and topic of conversa-
ton, as to the financial power it
will have here. 1t just seems that
nearly every man agrees with his
neighbor that, IF we are called,
we will CO." and ''if we are need

far, and we have been plundering

very encouraging returns. Mr..

was merely visiting.

had sold was above the market
