CEDARVILLE, 03 ©AY, MAY, f 8 , 1908. PRICE 81.00 A YEAR. J. H. Andrew and Judas Wright in ' the ANOTHER A now tnovemen ed, one th a t will tention, owing to t Pomo time ago a politicians sought ponvtion charter gii village thrown Into tho plea of a lower M i'' Drugstore political methods received a black eye a t a meeting of the Board of Trade, Thursday evening. For , some days.false and slanderous reports have been circulated as to the use of money in the electric light election. Dr. J. O, Stewart, president, called a meeting for tha t evening in order tha t the matter could be given an airing and the tru th and falsity of the report proven. If the town had been scraped from beginning to end no . two meaner, more contemptible, unprincipled scoundrels could have been found to circulate such reports than J. H. Andrew and his political pimp, Judas Wright. President Stewart specially invited both Andrew and Wright to the meeting, the former coming in during the meeting, the latter never showing himself, Mr. J. R. Orr had informed President Stewart tha t if the electric light question carried he knew two men who Would recieve 8300 each. Alsothat^persons. were being ap- . proached to work for the election and to ,be paid for their influence. Mr, Orr gave his authority as J. H. Andrew for the former statement and S. C. Wright,, the latter. A t the meeting, were the members of the electric light company, the only one tha t has been mentioned or_made a proposition to light the streets, unr er the Board of Trade plan. These men all deny the report in the most vigorous manner. O. L. Smith, treasurer of the company, knew nothing of the charge other than what he had read in a local news­ paper bu t th a t the company would offer a reward for infor- ^mation th a t would prove the report true. W, J . Tarbox referred to a statement in ' the gang organ concerning the Jight question and th a t people would/ be foplish to entertain a thought of such charges. As to the each for two men, he wanted to know who the two no assurance tha t ifc will get the contract as council must advertise for bids, so the statement was absurd. I n fact he did not think tha t cduncil could b,e charged with having connection with the case and tha t the report was a lie on the face of it. , , ..... ■ ' ~ ' * . Dr, M. I . Marsh knew nothing of the report or the tru th of it, In.fact he denied th a t the company as far as he knew had ever made any such offer. L. H. Sullenberger expressed himself in about the same mariner other than he Fad an idea where the report origina­ ted, bu t gave it no credit. A motion whs put to appoint a committee to investi­ gate and the chair appointed R. C. Watt, A. Bradford and Dr. J . W. Dixon. While this matter was being carried Mr. *Andrew entered the room. President Stewart recited the reasons of ‘ the meeting for Mr. Andrew's benefit and stated the story as related by Mr. Orr. Mr. Andrew admitted tha t he had told Mr. Orr. After being held close to the statement and questioned closely, Mr. Andrew wanted to back track and make i t ru­ mor and common street talk. As the committee had been named Mr. Andrew wanted it to investigate and he thought more would be found out than was known a t present. The meeting,made strong demands for information and Mr. An­ drew would not accept the statements of the members of the company other than under oath. This the members "readily agreed to. As E , & Lowry and G. F . Siegler were not present, both were sent for. Mr. W. J. Tarbox was dispatched for ■Mr. Orr. A recess was taken *o get, the sworn statements of the company. While this was being done the yellow evi­ dent appeared on Andrew's back and finding himself caught in his own game, slipped out of the room. Later officer Ronnon was sent after him but he refused to return. The following is the statement signed and sworn to by the members of the company: UA statement having been made by J. H. Andrew to J, R. Orr tha t if the electric light election carried, he knew two men who would receive $300 each, there being no other company considered in the proposition so far, now comes to the Cedarville Light & Power Company through its corpor­ a te members and officers, swear and affirm tha t the above report is false in every particular; . - .

INSPECTED DRtesTORE. Council met in regular session Monday evening, all members being present. The main topic of the r 'fire h o s e . a "with a At a former meeting of council L, G-, Bull of the fire committee and Engineer Kennon were instructed to tost the hose. This matter was brought to council’s attention by the firo company after a small fire some weeks ago when a stable was. burned. A t th a t time it was almost impossible to get pressure'enough to raise the water over a story and one half dwelling. The hose leaked and buysted in so many places th a t the fire company deemed i t advisable to asic council for a new hose A t the test were the chief of the fire department, "Wm, Cotterel! with several members of the com pany and T. A. Burke, of Columbus representing the Fabric Hose Com­ pany. * , I t was found th a t about 750 feet of fire Iiose was unsafe for high water pressure in case of a dangereus fire, Of the hose oh hand the only part tha t stood th.e test wafe the lot pur chased about twenty years ago. All tha t has been purchased since then was found in had condition. The hose standing the test was.made by the Fabric Hose Company, which was the best recommendation the eompany could have. While this hose costs more than the ordinary kind i t has proven the -cheapest in the long run. Mr. Burke stated th a t be had s'old Cincinnati already this year over 4,000 feet. - AfteT some discussion on . the financial question, it was found th a t there.was enough money in the satety fund to pay for half, Mr. Burke giving time for the balance. I t was thought by soipethat cisterns should be provided also. .Mr, Irvin suggested the purchase of 1,000 feet. Council then decided to purchase bu t 800 feet a t ninety-five cents per foot. The old hose purchased twon ty years ago cost ninety cents per foot. A concession of five ’rents per foot was made by using the old couplings A communteatjon was rend ivgva t m been start- some at* r*Iiy of it. disgruntled the cor* wp aiid tho itownship on L-rftto. rt.V’.Sf'-'.ww® and has with little having had w carrying the school with'" the is filed the h a t of sign only awaits f a t.

The conference should then proceed to tho organization of the county central committee, com­ posed as fa r as possible of represen­ tatives of each municipality and township in the county. The coun­ ty central committee . should, in turn select an executive committee of from three to five to take ..charge more iu detail of the manage­ ment of the campaign. The conter- ence should, also, select, a chair­ man, vice chairman, secretary and treasurer. The president should he an ex-officio member of the execu­ tive committee. The executivo committee should then proceed to complete, the county central com­ mittee by Securing representation from each village, township and precinct in the county. A tleast the head of each village and township committee should bo a member, of the County central committee.

(Tho conference for the1 organization may in sOihe cases be a regular convention with a good program for creating public senti­ ment.) * . The executive committee should organize thofollowing sub-eorrimit- tees for campaign work: As a rule, the ministers will be the best men on this cemmittoe; or, atleast, most 'o f them should ‘be ministers.
