Qrand Jury Returns no Indictments but Seven Members Submit a Minority Report— Fourth Ward FolIows; Example Set in Cedarville as to Switching the Vote— Exposure Should Result in Opening the Brennan-Neeld Mayoralty Contest and the Liberating of a Workhouse Prisoner Who. Threatened to “Peach” on Re* formers. The revelations of the ejection fraud th a t was carried on in th e Fou rth Ward, Xenia, are a disgrace to the county; F o r years th is precinct has had th e repu ta tion of the Mullen ward in Cincinnati, where candidates can be counted in or ou t as. dictated . To know th a t good men as candidates for office cannot get a single vo te in th is ward is astounding and th e people of the county should be aroused to their senses and demand th a t competent and honest election {officials be named in th a t precinct regardless of p a rty endorsement. The fault lies ho more w ith the Republicans than with the Democrats . as election officials from each p a rty must preside the re under th e law. I f the election board cannot get competent men in th e ward there should-be some means D e s e le c tin g them from other precincts. ’ The grand jury dwelt w ith the Fess and Donges returns from th is ward in connection w ith th e arrest of two R epub­ lican election officials who were charged w ith tampering with th e ballots. The court ordered the poll books and .ta lly sheets before th e grand ju ry and we understand th a t certain erasures in to ta ls were found th a t caused suspicion o f intended fraud. ‘ There, can be b u t little doub t th a t th e precinct officials before th e grand ju ry failed to tes tify as to exac tly w ha t took place election n igh t during -th e coun t. The practice indulged in w as no th ing more th an has ta k e n place in th is ward for th e p a s t fifteen o r tw en ty years. The affair,, is, so Twelve members of th e ju ry m u s t sign a rep o r t hefore a n ind ic tmen t can be returned ; Seven signed th e m ino rity repo rt which is o f value only as an educational fea ture , th a t will probably Stop th is practice in the fu tu re . . During a central comm ittee fight here several yea rs ago, a candidate was only credited with three votes, when he was assured by dozens of friends a t th e tim e th a t 1 they had voted for him. The Fou rth ward methods were used here a t various times in the past. I t is nothing new b u t th e people are ju s t finding ou t how some of th e exposures made by the H e r a l d several years ago were true. * We hope th a t those in charge of this m a tte r will no t stop w ith the present case b u t will go 'back to the Brennan- Neeld m ayora lty con test in the Fou rth Ward. . A t th a t time a well-known "reform” politician was charged with having the vote juggled in the same ward. T he means used never justified th e end, even, if a "reformer" had his hand in the affair. Also the David Lane workhouse liberation on th rea ts of exposing certain things in connection w ith th e Fou rth Ward election.' L e t us have the whole thing, th e public will relish the tru e situation, bu t th e re m ust be no backing up because th e hand of th e law m igh t lay hold on one Or two th a t are interested in this movement. T he people are thank fu l to th e g rand ju ry for th e min­ ority report and the ir recommendation for a b e tte r security of the ballot as cast, should appeal to every patrio tic citizen whosr hea rt beats in accord w ith squ a re dealing.
