I SOME CAMPAIGN FIGURES. . 1 i The Sun and New York Herald gives some interesting figures on elecI f - i tions in Ohio, which will interest the readers of The Press and Banner. Governor Cox has been elected Governor of his state three times and has once been defeated. He was first elected Governor in 1912, running in on the democratic wave wiiich carried Ohio into the Wilson column. Ke han next in 1914 and was defeated by Frank B. Willis, republican candidate by 29,270 votes. That year Harding was a candidate for the United States Senate, winning over Timotny S. Hogan by 102,000 votes, ana running ahead of the republican ricKet 72,000 votes. Governor Cox was elected again in 1916 winning out over his republican opponent by 6616 votes. This year he ran again as a Wilson candidate. In 1919 he was reelected t>y a vote of 11,944 votes, this being in the war - period and his race being pucned on the ground that no change should be made during the war. The betting in Ohio is 3 to 2 against his carrying New York state. Bets do not always tell the tale, however. The figures show that both the republican and democratic candidates are popular men. uovernor (Jox ior several terms represented a normally republican district in Congress, indicating that he can command republican votes, while the vote of Senator Harding in his r^ce for the United States Senate shows that he can command republican votes, while the vote of Senator Harding in his race for the United States Senate shows that he can command democratic votes. T.he democrats in Marion, Ohio, Harding's home town, held a meeting the other day and all pres. ent pledged their support to him, telling him that he would ride the democratic jackass to the White House in November. j1 These are but pointers, it may be 1 said, and it is a long time until the ' cat jumps. It is hard to say on which ' side of the fence the dogs will be,* _ I 1 Darking on the first Tuesday in Nov- 1 ember, Many things are to be talked ' about between now and t!ien, Indud-11 ing of course cabbages, kings, of-' flees and office-holders, to say noth- ? ing of what is to be promised the.1 d*ar people, ? I i The "wet" talk and the ;idry' talk ( is yet to be heard and it is hard to ' tray now whether we shall drink light c wines and beer or ice tea and Blue * Hill water. The influence o? Mr! Bry- * an, whatever else you may say abojut": him, one of the honest men in trie ! democratic convention, vv:Ii be felt. 1 The republicans think his influence will be against Governor Cox, and he ' has himself said that his "Itearc is in I the grave." But Mr. bryan :ias al- '? ways been a party man ?nc His heart has had a good many resurrections ' already, and perhaps he wlii live to < talk some more. He still nas a larere * "following ivr.e. his silence ..ov.:d r.urt the democrats, ju?t as his active sup- ( port cf the ticket would uraw many ^ votes to it. 1 There is talk on the one nand about ( Penrose and Lodge, the Mark Han- 1 nas pf the present day, while on the < other hand we are hearing of Mur- ' phy and Nugent, Brennan and Tom Taggart. It is hard to say after read- < ing both sides which is the worst " bossed crowd, while if you listen to ? each party's talk about itself it is h^rd to say which most loves the poor 2 man. 1 There is only one thing to do. That < is to wait and watch. It snail be the J aim of this newspaper to give the i facts as they develop in the campaign, and as far as we are able pre- 1 pare the people for the verdict?be- < cause it is a verdict which is to be > rendered by the people?a verdict t with its usual uncertainties. WHAT ABOUT ABBEVILLE? 1 The census bureau counters or .vhatever they call the people who ;-heck the census figures have reached towns as small as North, S. C. with a population of 700 and they have even consolidated the figures for whole ,-ounties like Fulton County, Ga., but in the jumble somebody has lost the census figures for Abbeville. We suggest that the Chamber of Commerce authorize us to proceed without delay, at their exense, to Washington to find what his become of the Abbeville census. FULL MEETING OF DIRECTORS YESTERDAY / (Continued from Page One) company or some similar organization which will through out the year guarantee to take off the farmers' hands every bit of surplus produce that he offers for sale and to guarantee that he receives the market price. This prevents the forced acceptance jby the farmer of a low| price for his produce simply be cause the market may be temporarily glutted with vegetables, fruits and the like. j Some discussion was also had at < the meeting yesterday regarding a, probability of reopening . the laundry and the establishment of a bakery in the city. , The meeting was wholesomely j enthusiastic and if the chamber as, a whole pulls in the traces as the board of directors has started off doing, a Greater Abbeville is bound to result. : ' i Tnnn.rpirr Tnnn.r.n rfrt A man-iage is always an interesting event and when two lovely daughters of the same household are married at the same time the occasion is of superlative interest to the friends of the young people and the family.
