GOVERNOR “JIMMIE” COX, DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE: — Breaking the deadlock in the dem ' ocratic convention after the thirtyeighth ballot, when the Palmer forces withdrew from the race, the loyal supporters of Governor James M. Cox invaded and defeated the McAdoo forces and on the forty-fourth ballot they nominated him for president on the democratic ticket. The nomtap tion practically ended one of Hie most wonderful political conventions in the country, equaling in enthusiasm the historic democratic convention of 1912 when Woodrow Wilson waS nominated for president and coming within two ballots of tieing the record for balloting. The country is well satisfied with his nomination. Governor ''Jimmie” Cox as he is familiarly known, has been elected governor three times of the great state of Ohio, the last time running 75.000 votes ahead of the Congressional ticket and was the only democratic state officer elected. He is the editor and publisher of two large successful daily newspapers, the Dayton and Springfield, Ohio, News, was a farmer when a young man. being reared on a farm, is a business man of wide experieuse and is a constructive and progressive executive. Governor Cox also served two terms in congress and is well qualified for the important duties connected with the presidency of the United States.

' His record as governor of Ohio Is a wonderful one, his election three times to this office proving that he Is . above the average governor of a state p In ability and foresight. He bus the * entire confidence of the business inp forests and the genuine affection of the working people. During the war he served his state as no other govi ernor did and won the title of Amer * lea's leading war governor. Ohio has ’ progressed more under his leudeishlp ’ within the past four years than any ; state in the Union and whenever a > problem or question arose, Governor * Cox was able to meet the situation ( and settle disputes of all kinds in a manner satisfactory to both sides. He is a leader and running on the wonderful democratic platform adopt ed by the convention will be elected president of the United States in November. "Jimmie” Cox is the man. Eighteen months after the "best legislature Indiana had in fifty years' has adjourned, the call goes out for the convening of a special session of the geherat* assembly, the purpose of convening this body of law makers being Jo, amend or repeal those “wqndorful" laws passed by it Governor Goodrich has called the legislature to meet in Indianapolis oi Monday, July 12th and of the twelve bills prepared by the governor, the majority advocate the repeal or changing of the laws now on the statute books. The republican candidate for governor is running on a platform which endorses the Goodrich administration, the highway and tax law and he realizes that his chances for election are slight. Why should the taxpayers foot the bill for the special session, merely to satisfy the political ambitions of a few political bosses? If the republicans are really sincere why don’t they demand the resignation of Jim Watson from the ticket as their candidate for senator? He made possible the nomination of Ora J. Davies, candidate for state treasurer, who was found short in his funds as treasurer of the city of Kokomo ’and Howard county. Wat-

How cun the republicans expect to win with such men on the ticket and in face of what the republican papers’, have said against Warren' Taxdodged McCray, the republican nominee for governor? Governor Cox, the democratic nom- j inee, and Senator Harding, the repub- f licau nomineee for president, are j both from the same state and both are newspaper men. Governor Cox ' is the owner of the Dayton and £ Springfield, Ohio, News, while Senat- ' or Harding is proprietor of the Mar ( ion, Ohio, Star. Some recognition for < t the profession we dare say, and we ] believe that both men will fully ap- t predate the value of publicity. They know the value of “news” and we t are sure that the readers of the American newspapers will be fitnished with the "breaks" from both . camps. As for Ohio, it looks as if i the Buckeye state would be the battle . ground between now and election. I Who said that Governor Cox could j not be nominated? Contrary to re- ; publican hopes the delegates had a ■ voice in the convention and were permitted to vote for their favorite candidate. That's the difference between the republican national convention and the democratic convention, the republicans figuring that the same “steam roller” tactics as used in Chicago would be employed there, but to their disappointment they were not. The people ruled and Cox was nominated. Governor Cox has been elected governor of the great state of Ohio three times and Ohio is supposed to be a republican state, that is the republicans claim it every election until after the ballots were counted. Harding, the republican nominee carried the state but once and was also defeated for governor of his
COMING OF NIGHT NO LONGER HOLOS OLD TIME OREBD Mrs. Adams Sleeps Better Than She Has lor Years Since Taking Trutona. Terre Haute, Ind., July 5.—"1 no longer dread the coming of night as 1 used to, and its all due to Trutona, savs Mrs. Agnes K. Adams, who lives in Terre Haute, at 1504 South Fifteenth street. "My stomach had been in such wretched condition for about five months, that even though 1 ate only a few bites of toast and drank a little water, 1 would become bloated and suffer from gas formations. This caused r 'e much misery. 1 simply couldn't sleep pt night. I’d feel cs tired of mornings as I had the night before. I dragged about many days, trying to do my work when 1 felt as though I’d drop in my tracks. “Well, it wasn’t long after I began taking Trutona, that 1 noticed a marked improvement in my condition. I m able to eat a nice big meal now, and it doesn’t hurt me afterwards, haven't had a pain around my heart and that bloating misery from my stomach, is not nearly so bad now. 1 simply can’t say enough in praise of Ti utoua, when 1 think of the relief it Is giving me.” Trutona's healthful action reaches every portion of the body, and performs its work faithfully and efficiently. Trutona rebuilds diseased nerves and tissues, creates a healthy appetite, and assists in the assimilation and digestion of the food. Trutona is sold in Decatur at Smith. Yager & Falk's. state. Cox will carry Ohio this November. together with Indiana. Government ownership of railroads during the war was condemned by the republicans in this state, especially by Governor Goodrich and now the governor is contemplating the buying of a coal mine for the state. Surely it can’t be the Goodrich mine where the prisoners are working.
It is feared that when the special session of the legislature convens next week that Governor Goodrich will demand that the state buys a coal mine. Why buy a oal mine when the state treasurer can’t pay current bills and every state institution in Hoosierdom is "broke?” The weather man would do the farmers a favor if he would hold off these rains until after hay-making time. We have had our share up to dat". but why growl, it won’t be long until we’ll be praying for rain. Plenty of rain these days but as long as they do not ruin the crops, let
t’lem come. It will help the corn and i within a few weeks you’ll hear it a “crackin’ ” and the farmers of this county will be marketing the great- j est crop in years. With the wonderful platform adopted by the democratic conven-1 tion and with Governor James Cox of Ohio as the party's standard bearer, the democrats will sweep the nation in November. So far we haven’t noticed an account that the people enjoyed Harding’s canned oratory on the phonograph yesterday. That’s dead stuff for a prosperous people. The Fourth and the extra holiday ret aside for its observance passed I without much excitement, auto accidents leading the list of events taking place during the two days.

Win Both Games * (Continued from page ( batted for the last time, the locals I managed to court eleven inns, shut - ting them out with a total score of ( 11 to 0. Cochran and Kolb formed i '• * local battery. Emery, of Berne, of dated at both games and again Im- . pressed the fans with his ability t> ’ handle a ball game. j The attendance at both Sunday and , Monday’s games were very light, due ( to the fact that so many people took ( advantage of the practical three-dayj ( ' holiday. The local base ball club >s _ undoubtedly the strongest team ever had in this city and it is hoped that the attendance will be greatly increased as the locals will continue to play their games at home. Notes of the Game. The "gang” is showing a lot iff "inside" base ball at the bat and their ! team work shows a big improvement. , It’s “some" ball club now. Old Grandpa "Java” Coffee is play ■ ing a whirl-wind game in center on his ' second time on earth, is covering a , world of ground, is hitting good ami ■ running bases like a youngster, in 1 Sunday’s game “Java" scored twice 1 from first base on two base hits oy , Laird and Monday he and "Homo- ’ wood twice pulled the squeeze play. 1 "Java” scoring Homewood from thiid on prettily placed bunts which he turned into hits by fast foot work. i Keep up the good work, old scout ' you’re good for a hundred years yet. We guess that Laird is a poor biid ’ to have in the cleanup hole, twice Sunday he "mopped-up' with crashing two baggers with two men on and ’ he can be depended upon to play a ■ bang up game in the field all the time. "Red" Stevens celebrated the Fourth by getting three hits, one a two bagger in four times up. In Monday’s games Timmons, the s visiting hurler, held the locals scorev less for six innings, but in the seventh - Stevens opened with a nice two-base v drive to center and Distle followed with the longest hit made on the local grounds this year, he slamming ” one on a line over the trees in the left e for a circuit drive. Distle nice game Sunday and usual stellar game at second
day. Franks and "Buck" Baxter* both weighed in with "Babe Ruth stunts in Monday’s game, slamming the pill for the round-trip with men on. "Roaring” Bill Kolb again got three hits in Sunday’s game, and two jn Monday, and he is certainly doing his share to keep the team’s “pep" up at all times. Twice Sunday he picked off the runner at second with great pegs. Cochran pitched a nice game Mon day. The visitors got nine hits but they were widely scattered and big i "Hez” always tightened in the pinches ' and held the visitors scoreless.
