States Senate, stole the show at the
Republican rally held last Satur-
day evening at the Noble county
courthouse in Caldwell.
Bricker, who has long been the
most popular state politician to
come into Noble county, received a
long ovation, following his intro
duction by Judge L. B. Frazier,
who has known Bricker since he
made his first political speech in
1928 at McConnelsville.
Bricker was the last of the cand-
idates to appear on the program
and the last to arrive.
Prior to the rally, the Caldwell
high school band gave an impromp-
tn concert, directed by Marvin
Wood.
Attorney L. c. Young introduced
the county candidates and cong
ressman Red" Griffiths, who
spoke briefly and then left for Nc
ConnelsVille. Griffiths remarks
were concerned chiefly with the
white arrow" shirt which he was
wearing.
Fred Johnson, GAINESVILLE, state
chairman, introduced the state
candidates, who were present, in
cluding: Don Ebright, state treas
urer; Edward Hummel, secretary
of state; Hugh Jenkins, attorney
general; George H. Bender, con-
gressman-at-large and D. H. Nc
Clintock of Canton, seeking seat
on the appellate court bench.
Thomas ]. Herbert, Republican
candidate for Governor, said in his
speech that
The performance of the Demo-
cratic party at its State convention
in Columbus, Friday, completely
confirmed the statement made by
The Cleveland Plain Dealer, edit
orally the preceding day that the
once great Democratic party is
about ready for receivership-
morally bankrupt and unashamed,
it is begging for votes, but has
nothing to offer in return but con-
fusion and double dealing
Herbert accused Governor Frank
]. Lausche of publicly condemning
but privately wooing gambling in
terests.
Carl Ebright, Columbus Dispatch,
a representative of the Associated
Press and Bill Henderson, photo
grapher for the Ohio State Journal,
are covering the Republican cara
van as they swing through the
state. The press estimated that be-
tween 500 and 1000 attended the
rally Saturday evening.
The cOnnlpta Cnapph of John w
Bricker is as follows:
yesterday my opponent, speak
ing at the Democratic State Con-
vention in Columbus, said, Pro
duction is now two times as great
as the Nation ever boaSted under
any Republican Administration
and that our factories are turning
out goods at a greater overall rate
than at any other peacetime in
history.
apparently my opponent is not
having the difficulty that hundreds
of thousands of the citizens of Ohio
are having in obtaining soap, paper
products, building materials, auto
mobiles, washing machines and
hundreds of household necessities.
Apparently he has not gone to
grocery store in recent weeks in
an attempt to buy meat, sugar and
other staples, and found the count
ers bare. Apparently he has not
Iead of the desperate plight of not
only the American housewife In
attempting to find meat and other
food for her family, but also of
the serious situation existing in our
hospitals and other institutions be-
cause of their inability to obtain
meat products. The production of
which he speaks consists partially
unasSembled items
held in manufacturers inventories. .
1t consists of enormous production
of beef cattle on our ranges and
ia feed pens. All this production is
not available to the public because
of New Deal interference and bu- /
reaucratic bunglng with our econ .

The Democratic State Platform
yesterday is the first one
since the advent OF the New Deal
that did not praise the National
Administration Tor its accomplish
mentS Tor our people. TINS plat
form StudiOuSly avoids any men
ton of the New Deal or the cur
rent domestic policies Of the Ma
tlOnal Administration. The plat
form avoids any mention of the
DPA which my opponent has con-
voted to approve and for
which ne served as attorney, nor
aces it mention or plan to cope
Of Oh n
Or essential materials. In fact, the
definitely rejected de-
mandS Ot some OF its leaders for
action on the meat and other food
1t Is particularly interesting to
note that this platform OF Cover
nor LauSche does not mention the ;
New Deal, despite the fact that he
ran for Governor two years ago
with the New Deals blessings, and
1ne of his chief contributors was
New Dealer Marshall Field, III,
and that his appointee to the
United States Senate has uniform
y voted to up hold New Deal pol
cies.
The failure on the part of the
New Deal leaders in Ohio to deal
with the question of meat short
ages is understandable when we
recau that a week ago President
Truman said the meat shortage
was going to improve, and then at
A press conference only a day or
TWO ago he ADMITTED that the meat
situation may get worse this win
ter.
mo relief will be had from the
serious food crisis in this country
under the despotic political setup
