Zb.?rroniDition na tional headquarters tonight Issued statement by Aaron S. Watkins, pre hibition nominee for president, at tacking the record of Senator Wai ren G. Harding on the wes and dr; question. Mr. Watkins declares he is unabl to find any instance of Senator Hard ing voting for the drys and cites fig ures designed to show that the Re publican nominee voted with the wet on 30 occasions and as "absent o dodged 1,163 roll calls and quorur calls." The statement said: *' "It seems quite clear to me that th friends of Senator Harding hav overworked his meagre prohibitio: record and have left in idle ineffici ency-a perfectly good an J health herd of wet votes which decorate hi congressional record. For instance he voted against prohibition in th District of Columbia. Moreover h cast several votes againsi war-tim prohibition, spoke at length agains it and I have been unable to find an case in which he supported It. "In August, 1917, he supporte the Reed amendment which provide that congress should have no powe to enforce the 18th amendment unti it had made provision for compen sating liquor manufacturers and deal ers for the loss sustained by then through the closiifg of their business It was Senator Harding who intro duced the six year clause, which th< wets confidently prophesied woul< defeat the measure.

MOTOR ROAD HOGS 1 I a' Nearly every driver of a Ford or other small car has had the unpleas-1 ;-'ant and dangerous experience of be-' i . i -;ing driven from the road by drivers y of large, heavy cars. There are only a few of the larger car owners that e are hogs?that seem to take vicious [. delight in ^compelling the small car ,.!to give up the entire road, but they J are met occasionally, and they are s'dangerous. Just a few days ago one r'of thfese road hogs forced a small car n1 into the ditch which easily might have j resulted in the death of a man and I his child, and the hog merely laugh-, 1 ed as he speeded on his way. There C ! ! should be a law passed making such 0 conduct on the highways a criminal , (offense, and the offender held accountable for damages the same as j if he had made a personal attack up-1 ! on his victim. If this it not done, the ''i small car owner should be permitted' I to prepare for self protection in the imost effective manner possible and .convenient.?The Wheatland Times, j 1 ? *!

Aug. 26.?Gov.; James M. Cox, Democratic candidate f declined to be "muzzled" in a non- 11 political speech in order to have a Senator Harding, the Republican can-' didate speak from the same platform n ivith him at the Ohio State Fair at c Columbus on August 31. Gov. ,Cox ? received the following telegTam from the Ohio State Journal of Columbus: "Senator Hardfng says today he P will come to State Fair Tuesday if he w doesn't have to make political speech. ^ Will you confine yourself to agricul-^ ture or will your talk have political c angle?" - I" The governor replied: , ' "Senator Harding and I are presi-,*' I dential candidates, not agricultural experts. Failure to discuss the great e public questions of the hour would a be discourteous to the audience.
