Knight addressed a big meeting here Thursday evening. Republican Women's Club Activities. Friday evening was "Instruction night" and the interest manifested by the largo numbers present-was indeed gratifying. ... Monday, Nov. 1, and Tuesday. Nov. 2, headquarters will be open all day and evening for instruction and information. Every woman welcome. This evening at the Akron Armory, Harding. Willis, Davis and Knight will speak. This will be a splendid opportunity for the women as well as the men to see and hear our Republican leaders. Every woman in Kent should vote Tuesday before 11 a. m. For some time past it has been circulated that the opposition "had something big" on C. L. Knight. It culminated in a page ad. in the Akron Herald, the labor paper, Gus Kasch springing it. It charged Mr. Knight with a theft of .money more than 20 years ago. Copies of the publication were sent broadcast over the district ' in hope of discrediting Mr. Knight. The latter ignored the slander, but the Herald comes out on Oct. 22 with the following in black type centered on its front page: Correction On Advertisement The Akron Herald of Friday, Oct. 8, 1920, on page 8, printed a full page advertisement over the signature of Gus Kasch. The advortisement contained a letter from Kasch and an af ldavit . made by Charles G. O'Bleness, which was an attack upon the character and honesty of Charles L. Knight, pubHsher of The Akron Beacon Journal, and the Republican candidate for Congress in the Fourteenth district. Our investigation of the statements made in the advertisement compels us to say that the charges made are unfounded, and that it was done for the purpose of embarrassing Mr. Knight as a candidate 'or public office, and to impeach his integrity as a private citizen.We therefore take this tneans of HON. HARRY L The Army & Plans Well Under Way For Armistice Day Celebration The A. & N, boys report that all merchants interviewed so far are favorable to making Thursday a'ter-noon, Nov. 11, a melnorial holiday to the ex-service moa from Kent to whom- the day signifies so ..much. Just two years ago we all experienced a thrill that will never be forgotten, "Artnilstice is Signed." That great rejoicing over peace has not grown dim, so let's join with the boys in their celebration. They have well arranged plans and the event will be a spectacle of which Kent can well be proud. - Mayor of Hugo In Serious Condition. Comrade George' W.; Meyers, mayor of Hugo, fstation on Penn. R.

Come to the big election news party! apologizing to Mr. Knight for our part of the' transaction, which was that of a newspaper printing an advertisement that came from an unsolicited customer, and to set Mr. Knight right before our readers. This retraction is voluntarily given. If any reader op The Akron Herald has an adverse opinion of the integrity of Mr. Knight, we wish him to accept ohr word that such opinion is in error. . .... I.
