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,*

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.

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. :
