M. ^lUdgway’ B drugstore about $:89 o’clock Tuesday morning and torn tew hours surrounding proper­ ty wa3 m great dancer, Just how the Are originated there is no answer though the general be­ lief is that Hallowe’ en prowlers on the hunt of boxes may have bad a lighted match in the dark narrow passage way between the Ridgway and Robert Bird- buildings. The ■fire was discovered by employees at Waddle’s livery barn and it is their claim that the whole interior of the ware room was afire when the dis­ covery was made. 1 By the time the fire department wits in action the flames had reached the galvanized cornice on the two story building belonging to Bobert Bird. A window on the second1 floor directly over the blaze soon gave way and the flames shot into Bird building. By this time the Are Was under the slate roof and for a time it looked as if the entire build­ ing was doomed. Quick work on tho part of the de­ partment in fighting the fire from the rooms of the second floor is ail that saved the building. . This oi course meant a heavy loss on build­ ing and stock by water damage. As to Mr. Bidgway’ s stock there Js much damage although the goods in - the front room were only damaged by smoke and heat. The rear of the building was burned to a shell. His residence adjoining was more or less damaged by fire and water. Mr. Bidgway places his loss at about $2,000 fully cohered by insurance. It will bo impossible to tell the extent of the loss to Mr. Bird’s Stock and building until the adjust- 1 *r& arrive. The damage to his enormous stock by smoke and wat­ er is not easily estimated but it is conservatively estimated at $5,000 or $6,000 fully insured. . Mr. Bird already lias carpenters at work repairing, the building So that the store can be opened as soon as the loss is adjusted. It was fortu­ nate that the night was still or the department would have been un­ able to idle the situation. JAM*. Mi M i’ A COMMUNICATION. My dear Editor;— I have been greatly pleased to ob­ serve the position which has been, taken by The Western Star in the congressional matter. Your impres­ sion of last Thursday meets with my hearty approval; and you are to he congratulated for /your courage. While 1 am not given to bolting my party's nominees, yet I do it when impelled by the higher sense of duty., Perhaps I am not as free m the dolug of this as I should bo, for there is no Question but what the ever increasing independence of party on the part of voters has bad very wholesome effect upon party leaders and administrative affairs. But Mr. Taylor has demonstrated his unfitness to represent this con­ gressional district m Innumerable ways, and this Is the opinion which his own county must hayo enter­ tained of him two years ago, smee it not only with held its normal Re­ publican majority of 2500 from him, hut ifb gave Denver a neat little plu­ rality ; and Greene county now seems morally certain of showing Mr. Taylor less favor this.time than they did two years ago. He has been tried and adjudged by the people of his own county; and I propose to accept its judgment, V Mr. Taylor has not. disclosed any qualities that would commend him to the favorable consideration of broad and fair minded men, who are desirous of having our public offices held by men of sturdy char­ acter and sterling worth-. On the contrary, he has shown in innumer­ able ways a lack of those qualities that tend to inspire confidence and command respect, Mr. Denver has proven himself a capable and efficient servant; and -tho sense of fairness is sufficient for the admission that he has made an enviable record- By his constant attention to his constituents, his quick responsiveness to their ap­ peals, and his untiring energy, he has proven himself to boa good man in the right place, A SUBSCRIBER. —The above was taken from The Western /Star, Republican, Lebanon, Ohio, October ^27, 1010. The Star supported 'Mr. Taylor two years ago hut is openly against him at this time. T H E S I I M Y . —NOTICE:—Oar o f fresh- Univer­ sal cement h&s just arrived. Tarbox Lumber Co, HON. M. R. DENVER. HOH, M. B. DENVER, Candidate for Re-election to Congress. Hon. Matthew 35. Denver Is the present representative of the Sixth District In the National House of Representatives and truly he has represented his people. Mr. Denver believes that apublie office Is a public trust and has looked after tin* business interests of the district with tho same acu­ men as he would his private affairs. ,Backed by a forcible character judicious temperam mfcnnd honest desire to accomplish what is right, Mr. Denver 1ms an enviable record. In former years many different interests of the district were handled as department matters, where considerable red-tape was nec­ essary, thus requiring many months before any result was known. Mr. Denver applied his business principles with a certain degree of tact and In little or no time his constituents soon learned that the Congressman was accomplishing what othors had failed to do in years previous. * Tho manner Inwhich Mr. Denver 1andled the Xenia government building project drew not only tho attention of local people but those from out side districts. The fact that one who differed politically with the powers was able to securewhat Mr, Denver has for tho dis­ trict has made a high-water mark for future congressmen, regardless of political affiliation* * Tho long drawn-out method of wearing out a veteran before his pension claim was recognized has been disposed of by the Denver method of giving ail these matters personal consideration. Pension attorneys report that Congressman Denver lias secured claims in as low 00 four weeks when this many years has been the rule. Thun We find why tho veterans are so staunch for Mr, Denver's return. Previous to the Congressman's first term he declared that this govern­ ment owed the soldiers of the Civil War a debt that never could bo p-iil and that ho would aland by them to the end. Mr, Denver deserves re-election in that ho has swerved neither to the right or to the left but has attended to the duties' assigned him in a business manly way without regard to party, friend or foe. Ho lias honorably gamed tho namo of a faithful representative of tho fiiop lt*............... ' ' ............................... ........ W ill He Ever Speak? . N EW S ITEM .— Mr. Taylor’s campaign managers have not allowed him to make a speech during his campaign and he remains as silent as an Egyptian Sphinx- Why not let Mr. Taylor talk? A speech made by him in Dayton not a great tiiue, ago was-full of zeal, if not common sense, in which he advocated the suppression of the, unde­ sirable immigrants, especially the “ Irish and d— hook-noae Jew” — Osborn Local,'Oct, 27* Whai County Owes Denver? The first' appropriation over so- cured for tho Sixth District was se­ cured by Congressman Donvei*. Tho large number of pension bills se­ cured for veterans is but the result of his constant efforts for his con­ stituents. ■ Now comes the passage of the bill as introduced by Mr, Denver.that gives Xenia a government building, $05,000 being allowed for this purpose The sight has already been selected and it certainly does not behoove Xenian’ s to "trade horses in mid­ stream’ ’ for the re-election of Mr. Denver will be but having & repre­ sentative who will see that their hopes are realized. , Mr. Denver occupies tho same po­ sition as that of the architect for the new building and- no one would think of dismissing the architect before the building is erected. Xenians should bo greatly thank­ ful for Mr. Denver’s efforts and cer­ tainly mark this gratitude by giving him a large majority next Tuesday. Tho county fully appreciates the services of a safe and sane business man in such a capacity In that by having Mr. Denver returned, the banking, manufacturing, farming, wool growing and stock producing industries will bo carefully guarded. WHERE DOES TAYLOR STAND? Effective Sheep Dip There are several sheep dips that are effective but only olio that is both effect­ iv e and non-poisonous. Tuatone is our Zenoleum Dip This is the best dip to Use. It destroys all gernfl and parasites and is beneficial to skin and wool. It is also valuable as a dis­ infectant. Use it the year ’ round about the stables and poultry houses. Used greatly diluted. Good for all it is recommen­ ded. At Wi$terman’$ Pharmacy The following is taken from the Western-Star published inLebanon, Warren county, one of the oldest county teat Republican papers in the state, Which bolt* tlie ticket for the first time in refusing to support Jesse, Taylor for Congress. "There seems to be but little in the social or political career oi Jesse Taylor to commend him to the fav- : arable consideration of the voters, by whose sufferago he hopes to gam a seat in Congress. Certainly he has not favorably distinguished himself in the opinion of men who have observed, since his appearance in the Congressional poll ics of tho Sixth District, In-fact it does not seem that he ha* over gained any particular distinction that embodied commendable virtue. Two years ago the "drys” found him "wet" and the "wets" found him "d r y " ; and all repudiated him at the polls. And from tho activity that wo observe, the forces will repudiated him again.- The salva­ tion of the Republican party m the Sixth District, and in all Congres­ sional districts, is best subserved* as v/eil as the welfare of the country by persistontiy eliminating such chronic office-seekem as Mr. Taylor has proven himself to be. "A few years ago, m the munici­ pal election of Columbus, which was a hotly contested one, the result showed tho election of a Republi­ can candidate here and a Demo­ cratic candidate there, It is a re­ markable result, and formed the basis of the discourse of one of Columbus’ most eminent divines on the following Sunday evening; and tho poiut of the discourse was that, the result of the election show­ ed a healthy condition of the politi­ cal mind of the people of that city since It disclosed that they were voting for men. "Xf the hotter influences of Greene County are opposed to Mr. Taylor there is a cause for it; and If from any cause whatever, ho is unfit to represent Greene County, Wo can not soo by any process of reasoning that he is fit to represent us. “ While Mr. Denver is a Democrat, yet, lie lias proven himself an honest and conscientious servant of all the people, and his identification with tlie social, moral and material inter­ ests of tho pcopio of this district has probably tended to make him a typical representative and one of Iwhich our district can justly bo proud* In him we find more o f tlie true than and good citizen and less of tho noisy, quarrelsome and clamoring politician. Denver’s Work Is Appreciated. Khmittstic tWM tttUfM 'W **» fet tm, Mikw trWs. We desire to refer to a statement of a former veteran Squire Almon Bradford, just before ho left here to locate in Topeka, Kansas that as much as he loved Cedaiville and her people, his ono great regret in leaving at that tune was that he would nor get to cast a vote f*r Congressman Denver’ * re-election. As w*s known to nil, Mr. Bradford was a staunch Republican, but through his experience as a pension attorney, realized what a benefit it was to the veterans to have a Con­ gressman that was standing like a rock for their interests. Mr. Brad­ ford could not express himsell to strongly in desiring the return of Mr, Denver. Another instance wo learn about is a letter from Congressman Sher­ wood, author of the "dollar a day bill",.to Mr. J, H, Milburn. The latter had written a congratulatory letter to the Toledo Congressman on his bill and the reply was that had the House, Republican and Democratic members, been ns faithfulto the bill as Congressman Denver, the veterans would now be enjoying its benefits. Such testimonials from veterans known to every voter in this vicin­ ity is but n high tribute to Con­ gressman Denver, and wo bolieve that on next Tuesday, not only the Veterans but the citizens in general, will show their appreciation of a good man's work by giving him a greater plurality than two years ago* Poultry Show In Xenia. The Xenia Fancier’s Club Will hold a poultry show in Xenia, Dec­ ember Cto 10. There is a promise of many exhibitors from different places and those interested in poul­ try raising should keep the dato in mind. Congressman M. R. Denver has donated $20 In gold, $10 for the best male bird and $10for the best female bird. Another donation of $0 comes from Jesse Taylor for tho best ten birds. The club donates §25, $5 each for tho. best display of five varieties for tlie largest entry. The Xenia merchants have given several hundred dollars that will bo used as premiums. George Bradley, Sec. Taylor Does Not Answer. Seven days have passed since the H erald exposed the hand of Jesse Taylor in trying to influence a temperance mayor of Jamestown in “ soaking” Grassy Berry and other. Xenia violators and then pleading that Charles M. Ridgway, a local druggist, should be let down “easy, ” when charged with the illegal sale of liquor. In ’our last issue we stated in the plainest terms possible the position that Taylor had taken on the “ wet” and “ dry” issue so far as it^could be used to advance himself political­ ly. That Mr. Taylor was Ineincere in his work of advocat­ ing the temperance cause is exemplified by a former article. The one issue of this congressional campaign is whether ‘ or not the individual character of the candidates is to be considered. This and this only is the issue and any other argument to advance Mr. Taylor’ s cause is for the mere purpose of shielding his past record. That every voter should knowlhe individualmerits of the respective candidates is not denied and it is for this rea­ son that the H erald brought Mr, Taylor’s record to light, knowing that he has been a professional office seeker, hav­ ing endeavored to get himself nominated for state represen- - tative; state senator and congressman on two different oc­ casions His overwhelming defeat two years ago was but the proof of the lack of confidence the public has in his ability to successfully represent the interests of this district. In our last issue we stated that Mr. Taylor had one week to answer to the charge of double-dealing between the “wets” and “ drys” and that he urged certain Xenia vio­ lators to be given the limit while C. M. Ridgway was to be- let down “easy,” the temperance mayor in turn to be rewarded for his act by running for county recorder. - Mr* ' a aylor has not yet answered the charge and we infer that he recognized his position and admits his guilt by remain-- ing silent. In the face of these undisputed facts how then can the electorate of the Sixth District, whether “ wet” or “ dry” as individuals, consistently and conscientiously mark the bal­ lot next Tuesday for Jesse Taylor for Congress? l*Arguments aro not proof*” *— words are not "cases.” Whether you are with the “ old guard” or with the “progressives” you want when it comes to clothes, the real goods, Here they are.
