P A E 5 3 A<5£MT OF ja. f d £ 5 H O W " V r * The gang’ s primary election was held last Saturday and proved as greata farce as usual. The bosses line! arranged for as litile excitement as possible, knowing that public sentiment was against them. Mayor McFarland having been denied a place on the ticket, Judas Wright had a Clearfield. John Grindle was defeated by Wm. Marshall for the nomination tor marshal by 32 votes. The council fight was the most interesting and showed that the gang leader of the present body came near being slaughtor- ed by his own crowd. I t has been chargedby tbo" gang element that J. H. andT. B. Andrew have,been largely responsible fof~ the present chaotic condition in municipal affairs. Both have been chargecl by their friends as having gone to far in trying to over-ride the will of the public, which has no doubt brought on the break in the organization ranks. The following is the vote on council; G. W* Irvine, 82; C. ‘ C. Morton, 88 ; G, A. Shroades, 83; Joseph McAfee, 77; J. W. Poll0ck,,69; J. H, Andrew, 60. I, F, Puffer, 57 and Thomas Walker 43, were defeated. I t will be noticed that Andrew was nominated over Puffer by only,three votes. ■The main leader o f the present Administration falling to fast man on the ticket. Only 182 votes ara pofled, about one third of the vote. Tn tlie township only 15votes were polled. Those having the primary iu charge failed to get many of the township voters interested which clearly Indicated that the public will Mb longer stand for methods that have been used in the past by a few to oowtroLthe offices. Tiie balloon craze that has enter­ ed this country reached Oodarville Tuesday afternoon, when four or five passed near here. The Inter­ national balloon race started at four o’ clock Monday afternoon.from St, Louis. The passing of the balloons soon attracted the ftttentlou of the popu­ lace. The most prominent one was the German Abercorn, which could bo distinguished by its colors and. the name. The basket was visible to the naked eye. At one time sand was dropped, this being the ballast carried. The balloon remained in view about half an hour and farmed an interesting sight. - Another passed to the north-east at a good rate of Bpeed and at a distance said to have been two or three miles high. It looked no larger than an ordinary tub at any time. One passed to the south that could bo seen only from an elevation. This one is supposed lo be the one that stopped at Leesburg, O. The American balloon manned by McCoy and Chandler, passed here about one o’ clock. A note was dropped at Layton and also at Sel­ ina according to reports. The last,to appear was about eight o’ clock at night ami it was not known which one it was. It was at such a great distance that only the light could ho seen. It was travel­ ing due east. One of the balloons landed near Cleveland, one at Ontario, Canada, and another in the east. The win­ ner was the German which was rso well seen here.. It landed at Ash­ bury Park, N. J.

That die corporation of Cedarville en­ joyed A business administration during J. H. Wolford's time as mayor is proven by the tax rates for the past twenty years. He served from1896 for six years and the list will show that the rate, was dropped as low as $2.44. During this time bonds were paid off that had been standing for years. Opera house bonds, bridge bonds and the like were lifted on a tax rate greatly betow wbat we have paid the last few years. The streets were improved and placed in the best possible condition. In those days pub­ lic money was not used for anything other than the good of the public and not to settle petty differences among politicians. The list-is self convincing and reads asfollows: A platform of a candidate is like Urn gang plank of a boat, used only to get in on. After that it is iittie use, particularly to some officials, Judas Wright, tho drugstore candidate for Mayor, has pub­ lished bis platform. "Wo stand for law enforcement,” A very simple statoment'meanlngmuch orlittle just as ttio voter cares to take it. Such a statement front one who is au habi­ tual loafer in the saloon drugstore and daily sees the violation of the liquor laws it sounds ridiculous. Knowing that his political friend and chief supporter has been twice arrested tor violation of the liquor laws, and that slot machine and gambling devices have operated in a back room,/we fear that the candidate has one plank in bis platform that will never be observed. In fact it is one that dare not be enforced If elected, or his friends will let binr fall. Another plank is the favoring of 'public improvements, and insisting upon a wise and economical expenditure of public money. The public is perfectly aware thatJudas favors spend­ ing public money, This was his action in the school house question which has been repudia ted twice by the voters. It must be remembered that Wright is the man that ventured to far with a certain applicant for the superintendency, when he told him after the first defeat of the school iiouse issue that the board would have a building anyhow, the .people of a free and enlightned community not beiiig soverfgn. It was this same applicant that was told he had to represent a certain book company and do as the board told him. The applicant, was then to be rewarded by getting anything politically he wanted. The applicant, who does nob live in this vicinity, has recently expressed himself as greatly pleased with th e . verdict of the people in defeating the bond issue as there seemed to have been an ulterior purpose in having the bond issue carried. - Such planks from a candidate who for two or three years has been charged with municipal graft, and which will be proven to the publicin due time, are absolute falsehoods and given out for the mere purpose of attracting voters. Probably it was “A Dollar’s Worth of Government for a Dollar’s Worth of Taxes," certainly has met the approval of the citizens who are so aroused at this time. The mis­ management and wilful blunders on the part of the present council has become so apparent .to the taxpayers tliat the matter i$now treated as •a joke; The present body has spent, more money and has the least' to show for it of any coun­ cil in the past-twenty ,-yearsr- The taxi .rates covering this period prove our statement. done to "work” the church vote as the drugstore politician has, planned. _ . ■ The question of a*candidate serving two masters has arisen. How can Judas serve.the Andrew-Ridgway-Jackson gang and the people. It has not been done the past three or four years. The public has suffered while the politicans used public money m a feckless manner to- gam personal, victory. How then is Judas to ENFORCE LAWS and allow C. M. Ridgway or any- other man to sell liquor? "We stand for law enforcement” does not sound well when it is known that the. candidate charged the committee supervising the loealpptjon election for space to defend the home against the saloon* No man can stand for law enforce­ ment and gloat over a court decision that gives a liquor violator his liberty on a technicality. The Good Man Theory. under the”gaug and for the purpose of lending respectability to a rotten adminis|ratiqn. This good man theory has been Worked to puli the wool over th&eyes of <he people who ought to have better sense t|ian to think thatrrrJgaod man* can en­ noble a corrupt course of action.* The devil was the first to in­ troduce the ‘good man’ theory. Long ago he wanted to T»ut Jesus on his ticket, and offered inducements that no other grafter has ever been able to equal. • As an jonest voter wbat are you doing to redeem the city from the rule of the vicious? Has your political conduct tended to righteousness or rottenness? Has your vote counted for law, - order and honesty, or ior vice or immorality? Remember that your conscience and your prayers do not count politically if they are hiconipatiblo with yqur ballot, For years the gang has been buying votes in the slums. For the same time it lias been getting the votes of the Christian people for nothing. The gang has been making more prolife off tho church vote than off the slum vote. It buys the one and- &ets the other for nothing and, sells both at the same price. - Are you going to let this continue? Is it not time that honest voters should begin to practice in politics what they liaye been preaching in regard to the other affairs o illfe by doing right for tlio sake of the right, leaving tho winning or losing to the.Almjghty?” —Dr. John Robertson, Gincinnaii.
