The state housing conference at Indianapolis, which is being attended by representatives of civio and commercial organizations, has renewed interest in the $100,000 housing project dropped last spring. ,

Howard Dill, who, in company with William Bockhoff, is representing the Richmond Rotary club at the Indianapolis conference Thursday, was a

instrumental m having plans for 50 houses drawn and submitted to contractors. The high estimates disheartened the committee and caused

the plan to be dropped.

sented with a view to trying them In Richmond. Other cities with a per capita wealth considerably less than

that of Richmond have undertaken and completed housing projects. The "Indiana Plan" for constructing a number of practical houses for men with only ordinary means, which will be presented at the conference by J.

CAMDEN, 0., BURSTS WITH PRIDE CF COX

The residents of Camden, Ohio. 20 miles southeast of Richmond, were j bursting with pride last night. They claim for themselves some of the Democratic presidential nominee, Govhonor attendant upon the residence here of Gilbert Cox. father of the ernor James M. Cox, of Ohio. Mr. Cox, who is 87 years old, was sitting on the porch of ,hls modest home Tuesday afternoon. "I am the happiest and proudest man in the United States. I hope and know that Jim will be as good a president as he has been a son," said Mr. Cox. Word came as the members of the Cox household were at the breakfast table. "I didn't know what to say," confessed the Democratic nominee's father. "I only know I am very happy and proud and that Jim will be a good president." Not Sure About Washington. Asked if he would go to Washington to witness the inauguration if his son be elected, Mr. Cox said: "I don't know. I'd like to go one better than Dr. Harding, who said he would drive

his shay in the parade, but I'm getting along in years now." A stream of neighbors and visitors has been pouring into the Cox home, congratulating the governor's father and predicting the election of his son.
