Represents Jeffersonian Principle That Majori ty Rules—Congress Can Re- ! peal, but He Wil l Enforce Law

While on Statute Book,

Dayton, 0 „ Ju ly l. 'k—Governor Cox In an interview outlined hrietly liis views on sonic of the issues In and out of the Democrat ic p la t fo rm. On the question of prohibit ion. Mr, Cox su id :

"Prohibi t ion Is ordered by the con-stl tutlonul provision ami by federal s ta tu te . T h e president t akes oath to suppor t both, it has never been my habit to viola te my outh und an o f - . llcer who does not enforce the law Is worse thun the man who b reaks it. We accept hoth the Consti tut ion and the j s t a tu t e s as the will of the mujor i ty .

Puts It Up to Congress.

"I represent the JelTersonian prin-ciple that the major i ty can do as it will regarding the prohibition question. They may leave il on the s tu tu te book or muy repeal it. but a s long us 1 uni a public otllcer 1 shall accept what is as the will of the major i ty . "

Governor Cox regards the congres-sional elections tills fall a s the proper forum through wldch to carry the light for a l lheral l /a t ion of t h e Volstead act , i in line with the t radi t ional Democrat- j ic doctr ine of sovereign s t a t e rights, ] to the people.

In regard to the League of Nations. ! Mr. Cox s u i d :

"Dur ing the war everybody wns fo r a League of Nations. Nobody was op-posed lo It. Everybody agreed that lr wus uhsolutely essential to stop for-ever the useless s laughter of millions of men. Why. then, did the Repuhllrun sena to rs begin a f t e r the armist ice to cast discredi t upon the league? It wus nothing but part isan bigatory and a blind desire for political ammuni t ion in the coining election,

"Of course there a re some conscien-t ious objec tors to the l eague ; some few men who ure really opposed to It. j Hut its orgunized opposition was u deep-laid and as carefu l ly plunned a conspiracy us wus ever plunned by Germany.

"1 am not saying thnt the league Is perfec t . No human document Is, As you a l ready know, I have suggested two reservat ions myself , but t he re must he no reservation tha t will nulli-fy the t r ea ty . "

Irish Question One of "Geography." "I have given deep thought to the

Irish quest ion," he continued. "They are a wurm-henrted, courugeous, patr i -otic people. I am thoroughly con-vinced thnt the Irish question will be solved sut lsfuctori ly . T h e controver-sy will be alluyed, I re land satistied. England satisfied, as well a s the rest of the world. The problem of Irelund Is not a race question. It Is purely one of geography,"

The tirst round of political confer-ences between party leaders and Gov-ernor Cox will begin with the nrrlvul f rom Sun Frunclsco of Judge T. T, Ansherry of Wushington, It Is gener-ully expected here tha t Judge Ansher-ry will plfly an impor tan t role In the campaign management , as he Is a close personal fr iend of Governor Cox, being a fo rmer resident of the s ta te .

You Control The Michigan State Telephone Company

Your telephone is operated by a company, organized and controlled under the laws of the State of Michigan.

So far as its rates are concerned, it is directly subject to the decisions and direction of the Michigan Public Utilities Com-mission.

Fou, through this commission, actually control the tele-phone service which is so intimately a part of your every day life. Its future success or failure is directly in your hands, because the commission must have your moral backing if it is to deal fairly with the telephone company in the matter of revenues. Sufficient and adequate revenues are absolutely vital to the very existence and the development of the utility. Without them the telephone cannot properly function in the industrial and social advancement of the State.

The close association of your telephone company with the Eoll system of America gives you the advantages of a service which is world-wide in its scope. By means of this service, you can, at your will, talk to any one of 13,000,000 telephones in use throughout the United States today.

It gives your telephone company, too, the advantages of the scientific research of the greatest telephone engineers in the world. This research has developed the telephone art in the United States until today it is by far the most efficient in the world, It is daily developing new improvements which will do much to make your service better.

The officers of your telephone company, who are directing its aitairs, are Michigan business men, keenly alive to the many problems incident to the development of the State.

And so it is throughout the entire personnel of our company. It is made up of men and women, actuated by no other desire than to do their jobs well and to deserve this great responsi-bility of giving to the people of Michigan the kind of telephone service they desire.

This sixty-five thousand dollar con-tract was placed after Horse-Shoe Tires had proven their actual superi-ority. If a tire can make so good on the heat shrouded deserts, the snow clogged mountain passes and jagged mountain trails of California, do you wonder it is making so good right here?
