CEDARVILLE, OHIO, FRIDAY, AUGUST 2,1907. ELECTION BIL. The Ohio Primary .Election Re­ form League has drawn a bill which, in its main features at least ought to receive the unanimous '‘support of the legislature next wm» ter. Quite possibly careful study of the measure and comparison of views may result in (he discovery of some, minor flaws, but it is right and honest in purpose, and much time and Bfeill has gone into its prepara­ tion. It Is just about right. The bill p>ovules, in brief, for the nomination o'f all Ohio candidates for office Including candidates for federal ofllce, by direct .primary election. It throws about tiieso pri- . mary elections, which are to be held by both parties at the regular pol­ ing places on the same days, the same safeguards -which now sur- round-tlie conduct o(^ general elec­ tions, They are to bo held under the auspices of the regular boards of elections, arid tin* expense of them is to be borne as Is the cost of regular elections. One of the best features of the pro­ posed law is its provision that no party designations shall .'appear on the ballots at purely local elections. Municipal elections ought to be di­ vorced-absolutely from, poll tics, and leaving off the names of the candi­ dates’,respective parties would help mightily toward swelling the inde­ pendent vote. The ■bill, by providing for the popular nominations ot all candi­ dates for state office, cioes away with the state convention. This may seem to some a little radical, but why should it? The people of the state will be much more likely to nominate the ticket they want - under the proposed-system than un­ der the present one, which gives a state machine a. chance of, control­ ling a comparatively smad number ,of delegates. Watch the—machine- mren fight for the state convention. The section providing for the pop­ ular election of United States sena­ tors, in which the people o f Ohio are much Interested just now, to £f> far as. ifv titular tire constitution, which requires the. election of senators by the legiitla- candidates for the legislature are to be named, may express his prefer­ ence for the senate on his ballot Buck instructions would be con­ sidered binding by the men elected to the legislature. They would not dare to ignore them.—Ohio State Journal. —Use Golden Rule Flour. RESOLUTIONS.

Address This same stranger*had dictionar­ ies for sale and of course -was giving the greatest bargains in “ Daniel Wobsters” dictionaries ever offered the people of Cedarville. A number of times he laid stress on the need of a “ Daniel Webster” dictionary in every home and but few in the crowd.knew the difference. Wheth­ er the street hawker was using Daniel’ s name to sell Noah’s book, because he was the best -known now-a-days or whether the names wore mixed, we do not know. Judging from the earnestness of the talk one' would imagine that tlV fellow himself did not know which one of the Webstevs wrote the book. A good story got, out, a few days ago that was certainly emharassing to those concerned. A small boy, ills in_oili£iLand_lh.e. iniidster -were the central figure's. The little fel­ low, about ten years of age, was in­ vited out one Saturday afternoon to a gathering of hisvoung friends and before going was. strongly cautioned to coma home immediately after the party and change his “ glad rags" for fear ot getting them soiled." While the,boy was away the mother concluded she .would-go to a ball game for a short time and to make sure that, the son would do as he had been told a note was hastily written and pinned cm the door.- It rfeacl as fellows t “ Go m and talcooff your clothes, will be back at five o ’ clock,” -As Snell things Usually fail to other people than the one in­ tended, it proved so in this case. YhOminister was making calls that j ...........vflSPW around while the note was pinned on tlio door, ' A neighbor .saw him. call and knew the lady of the house had gone. The neighbor also saw; the minister as he stopped to read something pinned on tile door but she did not know what it was. No sooner had he read (he note than out the gate he went and ’was soon out ot sight. The neighbor never YourTime to SaveMoney OutTimetoCutDownStock Assistant Mtonager, King's MHlsfU" knew what- was on the note until she remarked toiler friend that her minister had called that afternoon. Then there were explanations duo and one might imagine the feeling of (lie mother when it donned on her lioiy the note read; The fact that people here this year have not bsen bothered with mosquitoes lias caused considerable, comment. All sorts of arguments have been used to show the absence of the pesky things. It has been several summers since people could sit on their porches and enjoy the evening. Then the drugstores have suffered by such a condition. There has been a very slow sale of insect powder, oils of a strong odor anil the like. While Cedarville has been congratulating herself over the ab­ sence of mosquitoes some of the neighboring places are being swarmed with the lrouble makers, The parks in Springfield are said to be alive with them. Clifton is said to have more than its share this year. It is nor too late for Cedar- vilio* to get them yet so we had better not say tot* much over their absence.

July 30.—The candidacy of William H. Taft, sec­ retary of war, for the Republican nomination for president, was in­ dorsed by the Republican state com­ mittee io day by a vote of 15 to 0. Although beaten by a decisive vote in all the preliminary contests, the adherents-of Senator Jteraker In the committee refused to accept the olive branch extended by the Taft supporters and when the resolution, as amended, was finally adopted no effort was made to make the action of tho committee unanimous. The endorsement of ■Secretary Taft’s candidacy by,the Republican State central committee was vicious­ ly opposed by Senator Ft-raker who, upon the eve of the meeting openly voiced liis dissent to the proposition. Seven of tho 21members of the com­ mittee, favored Foralcer’s policy on, all votes except that taken upon the adoption of (lie resolution endorsing 1 ‘l'afi. A. W. McDonald, of the 16tl> district, broke with the Foraker, forces on the final ballot, which stood .16 to 6, Tho Taft resolution was presented to the committee as soon as it con-' veiled this afternoon by Senator N. F. Oyerturf oi the Eighth district who made a brief speecli in support of It. O. B. McCoy of the-Seven­ teenth district, who led ,the Foraker forces, raised the point Of order that tiie committee was not following the order of business set forth mtke call for the meeting issued by Chairman Brown, A. I. Vorys, manager of Secretary Taft’s campaign, made tho following statement relative to the action of the committee: “ The action of tiie state committee while extremely gratifying” is hot ” surprising, for the committee has formally and officially declared what, lias been so apparent, namely, that the Republicans of Ohio are overwhelmingly for Secretary Talt, for President Roosevelt’ s successor. The great importance of the corti- mittee’ s,resolution lies in its remov­ ing all doubts in,the mitids of peo- . pie of other states about Ohio being for Taft and in its demonstration \yberi the United States Senator Foraker learned of theactionof the Republican state coujimittee this afternoon, he gave out the following statement: , . . “ I cannot add anything to what I said in my .Open letter published this morning. I wrote that letter foreseeing the result and feeling that- It was my duty to give notice be­ forehand that I would not be bound by any such unauthorized- action, The committee had no more right to speak on that subject for the Repub­ licans of Ohio than any’ other 21 Republicans of tlio state might havo hadj and the action of the committee will not affect my course in any way. Tho next state convention Will have authority to Bpenk and by the ac­ tion of that convention it will be tho duty of every good Republican, to abide. In the meantime we shall have our own municipal elections and the benefit of occurring events in the light of all which -wo shall no doubt be able to act Intellig ntly and satisfactorily*” deuces and business the best advantage.
