Greene county’s delegate in the coming Constitu­ tional convention, a gathering fraught with tremendous importance to every citizen of the commonwealth, SHOULD BE A FARMER. One hundred strong, convincing arguments can be made in support of this contention to every single arg­ ument tha t might be speciously made against it. I t is a matter of distinct and pardonable pride to every resident of Greene county, and to every citizen of Xenia as well, that Greene county the country over ranks admittedly as one of the greatest agricultural counties in the country, or make it stronger, and the assertion will be free from hyperbole-in the world. For years the great agricultural and live stock pub­ lications have, carried article after article, the gist of which has been tha t Greene county is the best live stock section in the world. The, fame of the cpunfcy is built on her agricultural richness and her live stock superiority,'4 Her farmers, rated as leaders, send their live stock On demand to all parts of the globe-to far off Cape Col­ ony to the distant Argentine republic and to practical­ ly every section, which the struggle for better, stock is keen and in harmony with the idea, get the best. Xenia is known-Greene county is known-it might be said all over the country and in many parts of the world on account of what her farmers have done for superior agriculture and improved live stock. So the county is known, for live stock as Pittsburg i f known for her iron and steel, Lyons for her silk, Min­ neapolis for her flour and Denver for her gold. Farming and Jive stock raising are paramount in Greene county. They are the source and the founda­ tion of local wealth and greatness. ‘ They are the basis of local prosperity." They are the foundation oh which the remainder of the structure is built. . All of Greene county, Xenia included) is in a large measure, dependent on the success of these iarmers and live stock specialists. Xenia shines in their glory. They are the bonb and sinew of the community/in fact its very backbone. Every stream, of prosperity starts with them. They are the basis of the county’s wealth, success* fame and progress. With these facts emphasized it must become patent to nit that' the im­ portant, overshadowing duty of the bourns to give’this clement-this farm­ ing factor-representation i n 1 the coming Constitutional-‘convention. II there is any one county in the State that should have a farmer delegate to this convention it is Greene cOuuty, This FACT STANDS OUT pre-emi­ nently. It is so conspicuous that it will not, forit Can pot, bear denial. In view of the dominance of the farming clement in the ceupty it might Very consistently be argued that it would be proper; that it would be an exemplification of the right spirit for other candidates, representing other interests, to step aside that .the.basis of county prosperity and greatnesjp might have unopposed right of way to a seat in the convention. For months the importance of electing a fanner representative lias been, urged by die farmers themselves. Local papers have been filled with com­ munications, setting forth that loyalty to self and’ loyalty to community should prompt the election of a farmer delegate. These arguments have never beep answered and the most prejudiced must concede that in the light of all the above they cannot be answered. . In the parlance of the curb it is the farmer who legislatively has been GETTING HOOKS. In most of the State legislatures and in the Nation­ al Congress the farmer, with 40 per cent of the population, has liad less than one par cent of representation, This shameful and outrageous condi­ tion might justly be called the crime of the period. Every Greene county farmer knows he has been Ignored in legislation. In the language of Marco Bozarris now Is the time to’’Strike for your al­ tars and your sires’’. And the wav to do it is to support the farmer candi­ date for delegate to the Constitutional convention. With the admission general and incontrovertible that Greene eouhty should have a farmer candidate, the question next to be considered is the candidate himsclt. His name is John B, Stevenson. He owns 850 acres of the choicest farm land in Graene county. He is one of the heavy lest tax prayers, in the kJ county. He is one of the most up to date men in the county, He isa man of strong, forceful personality, not biased by petty ideas or enslaved by provincialism. Let it be said in a fair, honest effort to picture this man exactly as he is, and without tacking on to his biography any undeserved •hyperbole that facts will hot warrant, that he is one of the best read men in the state with a grasp of local, state and national questions that especi­ ally fits him for a seat in the Constitutional convention. Broad minded, keen of in tellect and by nature and disposition fair and just, John B, Stev­ enson is the man to see both sides of a mooted question, consider them fairly, honestly and conscientiously and than . act for the best interests of all concerned. While he would be essentially a farmer delegate he is 'big .enough and broad enough to consider every question that may come up in the conven­ tion strictly on its merits, Anotherquality that ought to commend John B, Stevenson to the votsrs at large is his courage to do the right as he sees it* There is a man with no jelly fish backbone. He has the intelligence to properly measure any public question; the judgment to act op it fairly and the courage to push it to an issue. In this county, where john B. Stevenson is well known and where hi* every public act has of necessity been under critical public Scrutiny, with out once the detection of a flaw, it is almost superfluous tossy anything in advocacy of his candidacy except for the purpose of sharpening the mem­ ories of voters who ordinarily might be inclined to show insufficient inter­ est in the election of a delegate, the importance oi which cannot be too persistently promulgated, John B, Stevenson tnafle one t f the best County Commissioners Greene county every had. U was while In office that the county was freed from debt, and there was a low tax rate prevalent at the time. He was' Com­ missioner at the time the new Court House was built in a manner Of which every Greene countian is proud for the money realised fram /he sale of bonds wks not all used. The unheard of before thing happened-money for the construction of the building was not all used and was turned back nto the county treasury. Tins showed extrOadinary care and commenda­ ble economey, If showed that live'men were in charge. . It showed that men who were handling the public money were handling it right. It showed they were good men to tie to for efficehf public Service Never was there a suspicion of graft. In all Ohio it is nqt iikely there was ever a public building erected in which the reeprd for economy and good work is so Splendid, Summed up this is the farmers’ day and the farmer candidate measures up to the ideal candidate. There should be and ought to be’ o whirlwind Of enthusiasm for him and every farmer in ihe county and more than that every citizen in ihe county should for his own and the Interests of others rally around the standard of John B, Stevenson and see that lie is the del­ egate from Greene county to the Constitutional convention.
