Morn interest, than ever will center in the coining cci'.gressianal contest nest spring in that Matthew R. Denver, who is holding las third term as congressman from this district, will not be a candidate. Congressman Denver accepted the last nomination at tho solicitation of friends. That tlia congressman has made great personal sacrifice-to ills business interests is well luiown by ail and there can be ho denial of the fact that suchwns done in the interest of the. demands of the con, stitptants of the district. Mr, Den ver, as he states, did not ask a third term, but was “ drafted for the service.*' He has truly been a faithful public servant and in the future his successors will ■be ux- pected-to always reach the standard set by Congressman Denver or /answer to the public, why? While Congressman Denver did not want the nomination for a third term it might he said on pretty good authority that he was ready at that, time to set his loot .flat down on*any movement to bring him into 1the contest if Hou. George Little would have been the Republican nominee. You might search the district over and we doubt if there are two tnen as near alike in busi­ ness capacity, in judging political conditions'and the real intentions of political leaders, as George Little and Matthew R. Denver. Iu bank­ ing, manufacturing and farming, each acquired all that is necessary for success. When it comes- to keeping their own counsel, ' well, we’ U match them against any one individual or a/i dozen in ' the dis­ trict. The political wiseacres are al­ ready' figuring out -how easy it would be for Mr. Htfcie to get the Republican nomination if he should consent to try for the honor. First of all it must be admitted that Mr. Little is above being an organfza- ation, gang, or any other kind of a factional candidate. When he runs for office, as was demonstrated some few years ago, fye ■ cleaned, up the patch and- is stronger-, today than then. His record as a member of. the Ohio legislature made Greene County first In the eyes of tho state.1 It w a s1Mr. ■Little’ s guiding hAnd that checked the onslaught of the famous To n Johnscm, who wag about to rout the Republican ma­ jority in the House. To him. also belongs the credit of saving the canals of the state when the in­ famous Cox and Ins associates, at­ tempted to appropriate the water­ ways for electric purposes and thereby earnfor themselves millions of dollars. He electrocuted the . “ electric mule’ * and 3 the Cox company went into the hands of a receiver, and the state was saved the canals. Mr. Little, should lie decide to enter tho primary, would, have Greene county at Ins back like a solid phalanx. Tn Xenia city he would get a vote probably equal to seven out o f every ten and so on tho county over. TVTe doubt if 50 op­ position votes could lie polled against him in Oedarville township, go far as the other counties are Con­ cerned Mr. Little would be equally strong. Warren county, where one of his paper mills are located, wofild give him a handsome majority for Franklin lias a number of paper mills and the Greene coufttiatt is held m just as high esteem there as in, Oodarvlile, When it comes to county politics there is going to be some more fun in tho contest for county- treasurer. One o f the first to announce for tilts office is John McVay, who was legislated out of a job ns infirmary director. Another who wants to hold the county cash is Foss J8art« man. of Xenia, formerly of Janies- to%vn; FosS lifts already taken early schooling along this line, having acted as a deputy for several months. When it Comes to getting votes the various candidates do not want to over look J. F. HafShman, who broke Urn record of recent years and won a third term as com­ missioner* The more entrants in this list tiie keener Free’ s eye fastens on tlm job. Jamestown of course will have a candidate and Prof. It. 8. Harmoutit has had the place under consideration but has had an intimation that probably there are enough candidates m tho list already and he is waiting for the congressiqmU lightning to strike him. I f it isn't one, it will likely be the other,’with the professor, Roomlets are being started for clerk Of court and George gheats, a prominent young man iii Xenia with a boat o£ friends 1ms announced that he would be a candidate for the clerkship. I t is umiernlood that L. T, Marshall, at present Serving his second term, will not ask for another as lie contested with 8. 0. Halo on this plea. Ills dsputy, who Is his brother, J, 0. T Dr. S CIIT!

A Might skirmish took place two years ago between the factions, the “ reformers”, using the Tsame tactics.and the same kind of amu- hition that, the “ gangsters” used. If war is declared again we look for a repetition of the skirmish of 1910 when only eight or ten anti-gang men were able to return to camp after the smoko, o f batile had cleared away.
