FRIDAY, APRIL 18, 1928 GOVERNOR SMITH LOOMS AS CANDIDATE m When the Democrats first talked of (governor Al*Smith as a candidate for the presidential nbnunaxioii on that ticket, the drys were inclined to make light of the propixititm. On every turn you could hear the statement “A1 stands' no chance.” You do not hear so nmeh o f that'Hnd of talk today, When dry Maine sends a list of delegates to the Democratic convention, joined by dry North Dakota, Iowa, and a score of other dry states, there began to grow a fear that probably Smith was stronger than at first thought. Even in Ohio the dele­ gates, though nominally for Pomerene, who is not a candidate, Smith win get two-thirds o f the delegation after the first ballot. The argument that Smithiwas wet and a Catholic seems to have had little to do with the situation. To offset the Smith strength the name of Senator Walsh of Montana, a dry Catholic, has been proposed but thus far in the. primaries and conven­ tions, Smith has shown the most strength. Thousands of dry Republicans are now more concerned than at any time in the past over the marvelous advance Smith has been making. Those who know politics and base judgment on facts and not fancies or theoiy, realize that the presidential election is not conducted on the popular vote plan. Electors are chosen by districts and this makes it easy for the wet centers to concentrate their vote and give Smith support ,that will be damaging to the Republican nominee, For instance the Seventh congressional district will have but one elector, Hamilton county two electors, Cuyahoga county three electors. To those that have the prohibit on question in mind it cer­ tainly behooves them to consider well. Hoover answered the prohibition questionaire sent out by Senator Borah. Bowden ■has not and will not if he expects to get ten delegates out of Chicago and other wet centers in Illinois with' a large foreign population. Yet some of the Willis delegates, including Con­ gressman Brand of tHs district, are trying to advocate Lawden for tHe nomination. . . . Thus far the Willis candidates for delegates have no candi­ date and you will be giving your vote over to an unknown can­ didate by supporting that slate, ' By supporting the Hoover list of candidates for delegates you are voting for Hoover for presidents These delegates are to be instructed to vote for' Hoover as long as his name is before the convention. .If you w'aut a repetition o f what happened eight years ago and make possible for a 2 A. M. bed-room con­ ference to make-the selection trading grants and privileges, un­ known to the nominee, as was the case then, then you Should give endorsement to the. oil and liquor bribery and consequent scandal that followed and send the so-called Willis un-instruct- . ed delegates to the convention to trade as they please. Mrs.' Mable Willenbrand, noted woman attorney, who is in charge of Federal prohibition enforcement.and prosecution of violators, while in Columbus last week, openly pleaded for the drys of the state to endorse Hoover and support the Hopver list of delegates-. Mrs. Wilienbrand was responsible for’ the convention of George Remus, the bootleg king. 5 g g * HERR IS HOW OHIO j MAY Q U *W COMMISSION FUNCTIONS | JUT ttev*r*l month* *gp th# village of MU* Maty T ’fr-firrr; x«U»w Springs voted for a water h* a bo*a «ho*#n ,** work* system and the contractor i* Kelly, wealthy s o x at work.

Tire village la to us* electric power for the pumps and a start was made \o build a line from the town to the site under a franchise granted by the county commissioners. Later it develops that the Bell Tele­ phone Company wanted to erect a line out the same road. The Beil people having the best etandin with the Ohio Utility Commission set a stumbling .'dock for the village in .an order from the Commission to stop the erection of the power line. How the village is to reach the site of the well with the power line is the new problem of the village. Some day the Ohio voter is going to rise up and exert his rights. First he must pick out the politicians that are the tools o f tfie utility crowd.

Fess is to.be the ’lcey-noter” at the Republi­ can National convention in St. Louis. He will make the address which will outline the platform for the coming campaign- This takes the Senator out* of the Presidential primary controversy with his added statement,, that although a delegate-at-large on the so-called Willis list, he will have nothing to do with tile campaign. • r. ■ ’ „ • Originally Fess was in the open forHoover but when Willis announced,,Fess, being a personal friend consented to be a dele­ gate- By the death o f Willis, Fess considers.himself footloose. Senator Butler, National Chairman in charge of the convention; is openly supporting Hoover, and it must be accepted that if Senator Fess has any tendency to a choice it would naturally be Hoover, his first selection. Senator Fess burned all bridges behind him last Tuesday following the Willis funeral when he served notice on the hand­ ful o f Willis Delegates that if Lowden or Dawes were endorsed he would withdraw. The Daugherty element in the Willis group, including “ Gravelroad” Charles Brand, became hysteri­ cal. The meeting was almost a riot. -Much had'been said about prohibition and enforcement but the endorsement of Lowden, who is not regarded as satisfactory to the drys in Illinois, would have been a joke and made, the Daugherty list of delegates Hie laughing stock of- the state. Senator Fess also told the “ Ohio Gang” that the endorsement would be regarded as a slap at President Coolidge and his administration. The early talk that Vice President Dawes would be a can­ didate seems to be a thing o f the past. There is no*question but that Dawes has many admirers and thousands would be glad to support him. The Chicago Tribune of April 8th says that “Dawes has not even indicated that he would accept a second term as vice president, but the assumption is that he would not.” Dawes is.a close friend o f Lowden and the Herald has informa­ tion from Washington that the Vice President positively re­ fused Congressman Charles Brand to use his name in Connec­ tion with the presidential nomination.

Sudden death was an uncommon tragedy •nless the re­ sult of accident. Men lingered for months on beds of pain and Sickness until death came as a welcome relief. Today men fall in their tracks, the summons comes .swiftly and often without warning. No matter how much money you may have, you can­ not buy a single minute of time beyond that alloted to you. Time will never tell y/m how many more hours belongs to you, and that is a good thing. I f yob could know the day of your death, it would fix your intentions, probably limit your ambitions and stall yotir’ deter­ mination. You would .decide to do just so much and no more, You would always be figuring on a certain hour when you were about to stop. Fortunately for all of us we cannot get in touch with this grim old reaper, else we would be bidding for all we are worth for a few more days or years, Facing the fact that the present hour gives no guarantee of the next minute— that ho man has ever been able to get friendly enough with Death, that he could exact a promise for another day, is it not wise to seize each and every moment and make the best of*it? Is it not wise to work with the will of youth, for someday age will make this will wither. By this word “ work,” it is not our intention to emphasize the importance of keeping everlastingly at it, Slavery is only slavery. But here is our point? Half of the people in the world ar* wasting valuable days and years trying to do what they never can do where they are. Every human being was intended to do some one thing better than any other thing, but the trouble is. many want to be in on what they think will prove the most pleasing position, irrespective of their qualifications. It is surprising how many square pegs are trying to fit into , round holes, how many men are in the right barn but the wrong 1 jBwSki.l» j The first and foremost thought in any man’s mind should ■ be t0 « v e the days and years wasted while in the wrong posi-’f tion. This saving of lost time can be accomplished just as ae- ’ curately as you would weigh a ton o f coal or measure a floor 1 for a -carpet.

' ’ ' * ' jMW Millions o f Model T Fords are still in * ■ * * active service FOR. nearly twenty years, the Model T Ford led the motor Industry Ind it still is used by more people than any other automobile, M orethan eight million M odel T Fords are in active service today— an indication o f their sturdy worth, reliability and economy. „ . Because o f the tremendous investment which people have in these cars and because so many o f them will be driven fo r two, three, and even five more years, the Ford M otor Company wiU continue to make replacement parts until, as Henry Ford himself says, "th e last Model T is - [off the road.” For the Ford M otor Company has always believed that Its full duty consists not only in making a good automobile at a low price, but also in keeping It running efficiently for you as long as possible at a minimum o f expense* N o matter where you live, therefore, you can still buy Model T Ford parts with the. same asstirance as formerly, knowing that they will give you the kind o f service you have a right to expect, and at the same time protect the money you have invested in your car. A ll Ford replacement parts, as you may know, are made o f the same materials and in the same way as those from which your car was originally assembled, and are low in price because o f the established Ford policy. ; * So that you may get the greatest use from your M odel T Ford over the longest period o f time, we suggest that you take the car to the nearest Ford dealer and have him esti- , mate on the cost o f any replacement parts which may be necessary. Y ou . may find that a very small expenditure will maintain the value o f your car and will he the means *; o f giving you thousands o f miles o f additional service. £ F o r d m o t o r C o m p a n y D etroit, M ichigan 7 x 2 = 1 4 x 2 = 2 8 B i l l i o n i si; COE XEL . o r s t a : soc; ! “W r | DEL ■!
