JEWS CONTRAST GOV. COX WITH RUSSIAN LORDS
Russian and American Governors aren't the same Governor Cox was told by speakers at the banquet of the American Citizens Club held in the Jewish Settlement, Sunday night.
The members of the club most of whom from Russia and recently naturalized citizens of the United States have been familiar with Russian Governors from earliest childhood.
Cox was the first American Governor they had met.
Cox Eats Kosher Meal
“It is quite a novelty to meet a Governor on terms of equality,” said Dr. Moses Scholtz, President of the club formerly of Moscow.
“Previously we knew Governors only to fear and hate them. It is now very different.”
Thus, the Governor of Ohio was introduced to the former subjects of Russia as their servant. He ate a kosher meal with them and was presented with a large bouquet.
The Governor kissed Dorothy Bilker, 6, the little girl through whom the flowers were presented.
