The dovo of peace is hovering over Clermont county, thatis the famous old county, noted fop its political •factions, Is to enter the realm of peace. Last Saturday about forty of the leaders of the Republican party met In Cincinnati at the ro- qjiest of Fred Edington- The fac­ tions have "been headed by Bill Bishop and C, C. Kearns and it ha* been war to the end. Good will pre­ vailed at the meeting and all nomi­ nees will be supported. In .the past the tjivo Republican faction, as -well ps the two Democratic factions, ! are been championed by their re­ spective newspapers each election usually finding one Democrat and. one Republican newspaper support­ ing a certain candidate in Opposition to the other two factions. , • Mr, R. D. . Williamson is an­ nounced for •his' second term as county commissioner, something that has always been granted office holders in the. past. Even, were this not the rule we believe that the people would demand that R . .D. bogiven a second term, His popu­ larity as a county official is never questionedaud his success in per­ sonal business, as well as for the county, alone merits another terra. I t is conceded from all quarters that Mr, Williamson will be nomi­ nated for his Second term. •’/ I t is said that Col. I. ,T. Cummins has aspired to represent this county m the legislature for several year* p,nd to this end he announces him­ self for this high honor subject to the decision of the Republican voters. As a campaigner-Mr. Cum­ mins has proven that he has the vote getting habit. He has never held public office other than two terms as county commissioner, the second term/ being won in a- race with,a haif dozen entries. He -wae honored as being elected president o f the State Association if County Commissioners. ' . . . There.is one county official that has the credit of taking care Of his own business—nobout trying to con­ trol, the politics of the coufifcy or dictate just who will run for the various offices—and if Is hone other than County Recorder B.

Price 25c, Waterman'sPharmacy Tho address pf Rev. Eldridge Sab­ bath morning in the R. P. church was. largely an apology ■for the course of the. temperance people, and especially the Anti-SaloOu League on the liquor queation'in the Constitutional Convention. He claimed that the temperance people were hopelessly on num­ bered by the enemy, ancl that there was nothing they would possibly do under the circumstances but accept a license measure. The question in the minds of some ofb is hearers was:‘I f file minority were so hopeless how could they doctoi this license measure js*r that It become entirely unsatisfactory to the liquor men? ■Again if, the temperance men were in the minority did that necessarily prevent them from pre­ senting a prohibitory, measure and Standing by it, Suppose they Were out-numbered .m the' Convention, did the Convention settle .the question? - Retffc the people still have a voice in the matter? ; devil don’ t get tfa,j I don’ t see any, devil, and they a job protecting until theiasfcsj distillery Are pi then they will that every donbl hypoerit'deseryi My P, O, Add! ville, O.

While our brother claims that prohibition state-wide is the su­ premo end for which he is working. He does not believe it Is the thing for tijp cities, at th is time because t could not be enforced. In proof of this he cites the ignored Sabbath law. To carry out bis reasoning* would be repenl the law and wait till the people were educated up to a proper regard for the ,day before placing it on the atatutebook.
