WATKINS SCORES
HARDING RECORI
Prohibition Candidate Says He Vol
ed With Weti.
Chicago, Aug. 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. His vote for thi
submission of the amendment wa
accompanied by a speech fn Whicl
he announced his opposition to it an<
his vote was merely his consent t<

J LAW NEEDED TO PUNISH
. 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

Evansville, Ind., . 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. I s
decline to be muzzled even by sena^a

NEW LAW RELIEVES c
TEACHER SHORTAGE
q
Temporary Certificates Are Grant-:t'
ed In Each County. ;f
jt
A shortage of teachers in any one f
:ounty will be impossible under the I
ict providing for state registration c
jf teachers, according to the super- o
ntendent of education, J. E. Swear- 'c
ngen. The board of examiners for'q
;eachers, Mr. Swearingen says, has c
ilready begun work on its first task c
>f converting all outstanding coun-'p
:y teachers' certificates into state Jc
licenses, the county license being f
iiscontinued under the state pro- >
vision of the act, creating the state
board of examiners.
This law became effective June 1
and all certificates that did not ex

nt's it will be aecessary for tl
ounty board of education to r

rder that they may be reinstate
Emergency certificates for inc
idual counties will also be grant*
,s explained in Mr. Swearinger
nnouncement:
"Under the new l'aw, a shortaj

ible. Each county superintendei
nay recommend any and all app!
ants that to him may seem desi
,ble or available. This recommend
ion must be accompanied with tl
isual application and all oth

loard of examiners for teachers,
ounty permit, in accordance wi

uperintendent, will then be proniF

nit can run only for the curre
rear 1920-21 and will be valid on
n the county for which it was oi
finally issued. A transfer of tl
>ermit in any succeeding scholast
rear will not be granted.
"Thus, each county superinten
nt will be individually responsib
or the standard of temporal
icenses in his schools. Tl e.n
