NEXT PRESIDENT AN OHIOAN.
The Republican National Convention in
Chicago, June 12,
nominated Senator Warren G. Harding on
the tenth ballot for
President of the United States.
The Democratic National Convention in
San Francisco,
July 5, nominated Governor James M. Cox
on the forty-fourth
ballot for President of the United
States.
The Ohio State Archaeological and
Historical Society is a
strictly non-partisan institution, but
because of the distinguished
honor that has come to the state the
prediction frequently heard
these days is here recorded, that the
next president of the United
States will be from Ohio. It is more
than probable that in the
next issue of the QUARTERLY it will be
proper to report among
the activities of the Society extended
references to both of these
candidates for the presidency.
To say that Memorial Day was
appropriately observed at
Spiegel Grove by patriotic citizens of Fremont
and Sandusky
County is only to state what could as
truthfully be said of the
observance there of this anniversary
each year. A gratifying
feature this year was the large
attendance of veterans of the
World War - much larger than one year
ago. In the exercises
the veterans of the Civil War, the
Spanish-American War and
the World War all had a part.
Spiegel Grove is a place of historic and
patriotic suggestion,
and Colonel Webb C. Hayes has done much
to invest with a
living interest the associations of this
beautiful park and other
places in the immediate vicinity. It
should be added that the
pen of Miss Lucy Keeler has preserved a
record of early events
in this part of the state in some of the
most valued contributions
to the QUARTERLY. What she has done for
Spiegel Grove, Fort
Stevenson and Fort Meigs should move
writers in other sections
of the state to give due prominence to
interesting and significant
events of their local history.
