Hg and C Good Go aent (J fcv ,x;-mii'2 " ,J --VI ..... f 1 TO THE AMERICAN VOTER: Are you satisfied, even content, with existing conditions cf life? Of course you are not. You arc burdened with taxation and the high cost of living. For everything entering into your daily life you are paying an ab- "". normal price an unprecedented price. Why? Largely, if not altogether, because of the extravagance of government at Washington because of padded payrolls because of colossal waste following the war because of looseness, laxity, inefficiency and incom petency in handling the country's affairs. You are paying the bills for all this you, Americans, men and women, who make up the good citizenship of this nation. You are paying, and paying dearly, for all this. Ycur Liberty Bonds those I. O. U's of Uncle Sam in which you invested so proudly, so generously, so patriotically, to help win the war, are today below par. You made sacrifices, some of you, most of you, to buy them, and now, with the war long over, but with peace not yet fully established, you must make further sacrifices, if compelled to sell those Liberty Cond3, in order to meet the abnormal conditions confronting you and entering into your daily life at every turn.' Think of the tragic climax thus put upon your patriotism! WAR MEANS WASTE. WAR IS WASTE. BUT WAR WASTE SHOULD HAVE ENDED WITH THE ENDING OF WAR. It did not end then it has not ended. It has gone on prodigally shamefully. And you, long-suffering American citizens, are paying the bill paying in taxes and high cost cf living the price of it alL I3 it not time to call a halt high time? A Republican Congress curtailed governmental extravagance to the extent cf TWO BILLIONS or more reduced the department estimates to that extent in spite of the resistance and obstruction cf the Wilson Administration. Think of that! But that was just the beginning of re trenchment and reform which cannot be effected fully until the Executive and Legislative departments of the government are working together ef ficiently und in unison to bring about retrenchment and reform. And this means A COMPLETE CHANGE AT WASHINGTON the substitution of eficiency for inefficiency, capacity for incapacity, all along the line. Then, and then cnly, vill you be relieved of the burdens you are car rying today. Ycu are hearing talk about America's duty to the world. Much of it is intended solely for campaign purposes and is as full of deception as the cry, "He kept us out of war," the Democratic slogan of 1916, when the Administration at Washington knew full well that no power under Heaven could keep us out of war, and that, in fact, at the very moment, when an election was being scantily won by false pretences, the Nation vas even then virtually at war. America do her duty to -the world! When, pray, did America ever fail to do her duty her full duty in any crisis or contingency affecting mankind? Never! And America can be counted upon as confidently in the fu' ure as the has been counted upon in the past. AMERICA IS A DUTY DOING NATION. Any suggestion to the contrary whatever the individual view as to the adjustment of world affairs, whether through a League of Nations or not- is an affront to every true American ind must be dealt with as such. The Republican Party phdges you Good Government. . It pledges to ycu efficiency, e.:-nomy, courage and the square deal. It pledges you tn American government the sort of government that a long and illustri ous li-ic of Republican Presidents have given this Republic. DO NOT ALLOW YOUR COMPLETE CONFIDENCE IN THE RESULT TO KEEP YOU FROM THE POLLS ON ELECTION DAY. Do ycur duty as a citizen an a'ert, wide-awake, American citizen -juct as America has ever done and will continue to do her full duty as a nation, and thus will you help to put ycur Uncle Sam's house in order. Vote for HARDING and COOLIDGE and a REPUBLICAN CON GRESS on November 2, and all will be made welL HARDING and COOLIDGE MEAN GOOD GOVERNMENT. And GOOD GOVERNMENT is what we all need and must have.

Arkauauw Tuowaa CU Question Not About Merits of Strike or Need for M.litary, but as to Truthfulness. By WILLIAM HOSTER. Columbus, O. Governor James M Cot's bonsted labor record bus been (haltered by his own olllelnl act. Claiming (lint he Imil "never pressed soldier Into nil Industrial controver sy." the record of his action us gov ernor of Ohio In niohlllr.lnK Na tional Guard of this state for service In the steel strike of 1919 has been produced In flat contradiction or his assertion. Not once, but on two occasions ivns the Ohio guard, nt nn cxpenxe of ?S 000 to the people of Ohio, culled Into service and sent to Akron and held In readiness for uctlon In nearby Canton The question Is not as to the merits of the strike or as to the necessity for the presence of tbe guard within strlk lug distance of Canton, but concerus wholly the truthfulness of Governor Cox's statement, obviously made lo win favor among the worklngmen. The facts ns brought out In tbe speech of Republican Slate Chairman George II Clark, formally opening the campaign at Columbus, are as follows: Ordered Guard Out Twice. After the steel strike had progressed for some days, with more or less disor der. Governor Cox on September 28, 1019, suddenly ordered the mobilization of the guard at Akron. A period of quiet followed, and the troops were withdrawn. And then again suddenly on October 25 the guard was once more mobilized and sent to Akron, and while It lay there at that strategic point awaiting a summons Into action stufT officers representing Governor Cox kepi close watch on the situation lo Can ton. In his speech at Wheeling, W. VnH on the night of August 14 Governor Cox suld: "For six years I have been In execu tlve authority In the great industrial state of Ohio. During all this time I have never pressed a soldier into an la dustrlal controversy." The question Is, did Governor Cox tell the truth? Answering this ques tion. Chairman Clark In his Columbus speech displayed to his audience a pho tographic copy of Speclnl Order No. H2 issued from the Adjutant General's de partment of the State of Ohio, dated Columbus, October 25, 1910, which des ignated certain oflicers for Immediate active service and paragraph 4 ol which reads: . Fa-s Presented. "In anticipation of the development of a rioting cond.tlon at Canton, O., the Governor of Ohio has deemed It neces sary to assemble a sufficient number of state troops at Akron, O., to he held In readiness lo render aid to the civil iiu lliorillt's at Canton, O., mid has so di rected tbe Adjutnnt General of Ohio, who. pursuant to such order, d I reels Colonel Benson W. Hough to proceed without delay to Akron, O., to take command of nil state troops up ui ar rival at Akron, O., and to hold tliem In readiness for duty, awaiting further orders." The order is signed by tho Adjutant General and counter-signed In. these words, "By command of Governor Cox." Old Governor Cox toll the truth to the workingmcn? Supplementing this documentary proof, Mr. Clark produced photograph ic copies of headlines from Clinton, O.. newspapers of concurrent dute, which read : "Slate troops mobilizing for duty here. All available companies lire or dered out." And, "Governor orders troops for duty here, Ohio soldiers re porting to armories following trouble." Truth Should Be Known. The surprising thing about It nil Is thai Governor Cox In his Wheeling speech should hnve made so flat an as sertion when nil of tbe fucts with re gard to his mobilization of the gimi J were still fresh In tbe public mind, at legs. Lri-Olllo, Oi course It. Isj'lL.tll ' p expecleif" tliut wbrking.ueir eloewhere In the United States would be familiar with the circumstances, and It wits for that reason that State Chairman Clnrk In his speech stressed the necessity for the people all over the country to ! Informed llinl Governor Cox't assertion that he "never pressed a soldier Into nn Industrial controversy" was abso lutely at vnrlence with the truth. Publication of these official fnrts tins utterly confounded the advocates of Governor Cox's election, who have been making a special plea to Ihe working men on the hasl.: of bis West Virginia speech. The revelations un to Mr. Cox's mobllizat'on of the troops are being compared with the sworn state ment of liquor league contributions to bis gubernatorial campaign fund In refutation of his statement that "the wets have never contributed one dollar to any of my campaigns." In both cases the point Is made that the Issue Is not as to the merit of his mobiliza tion of Ihe troops, on the one band, or as to the status of tbe wet and dry question, on tbe other band, but tli-t the real Issue Is as to the degree of truth and accuracy absolutely neces sary In one who seeks to be president Of U3 United Plates.
