Citizens Who Oppose Cox MARION Ohbio.—(By Mall.)— ' Stranger on the downtown street ferner in Dayton said he had lived there all his life and knew a lot Shout Governor Cox. So he was aaked, “What is the funniest thing You ever heard about Cox.” He answered promptly, “I don't _ know anything funny about Jimmie _ -Sxcept the fact that he's running for Premident. What?

It's just the sort of town, and the right size, for staging a front- ae campaign without making its chology tao obvious. ‘The people of Marion have noticed one visiting delegation looks about like yesterday's. The charm of being headquarters of a presiden- tial nominee has not worn off, but the Marionites are pretty well fed-up on politics. The merits of the two candidates and what they stand for have been argued and fought over until everybody in Maridn has talked himself into silence. Warren Harding is the big frog fn the little puddle, however, and is generally loved in Marion. “The senator's a real man,” said ome old resident. “I'm a democrat, he’s from the home town, so I th he'll get my vote.
