Smith and his race.for congress and the position he holds with the Xenia ♦‘gang,*’. The most conservative say that Greene county must bavoa stronger candidate than what has shown itself. The high handed attempt of Boss Schmidt, to steal the Oentrul committee has cost Judge Smith many a friend, Those who know say that either of the other candidates for Congress, rlildebraot, Morrow or* Brown will make any kjud of a sacrifice to see Smith defeated. The situation then calls for another candidate from this county. Every effort is being used to get Judge Scroggy to. enter the race but his at­ torney friends oppose this as they know him to good a man to leave, the bench. Should Judge Scroggy announce his name for congress it is said that Judge Smith would back down and out know- ing-that be could not face sucb oppos­ ition;^ SUICIDE Botiv Senate and House Deliver the Toga lo Ohio’s Son .; There was a strong sentiment Tues­ day against the Xenia machine, but a real lest was not inane of the strength Gainesville, Texas, Feb, 22nd,- Mrs. L.
