It*s Up To You, , J, 1 ■ The chief ie*ue before the people of Greene County to-day is, Shall the business of the county be controlled by a coterie of designing men known among themselves as the “ organisation**, commonly known among the people as “ the gang’*, or shall it be controlled by tho people of the county themselves? The men who form the nucleus of the political machine in the county are all veterans at what they call “ the game,** They extend a gloved hand, and seek always to hide themselves behind the supposed personal popularity of the candidate who is to their liking. They represent themselves as not putting forward any candidate, for they know well 'enough to tag their man would brand him for defeat. And yet every voter in this county knows beyond a preadventure that every man who comes'forward for office in this county who is not satisfactory to or is known to be in open opposition to machine methods and practices is consistently and b it­ terly opposed and fought to.the last ditch. Even that well-established principle o f' republican politics that an officer once elected by the people is entitled to a second term without opposition is ruthlessly trodden under foot; as is every other principle o f political ethics when that officer is not to the liking of the. machine. Tliis is just what is taking place to-day in the contest for prosecuting attorney before the ^Republican Primary. Mr. Frank L. Johnson is being op-< . opposed for a second term because he is in open opposition to the machine, and all for which it stands ,in politics. The machine has a candidate for county prosecutor. Mr. Johnson is not its candidate. It is up to the republican voters ' of Greeno County to say at the primary next Tuesday whether the machine sha ll, ' control this office for the ensuing two years. If you want a prosecutor who is bntrameled by the machine, then vote for Frank L. Johnson next Tuesday. ' Prosecutor Johnson Saves The County Money, i . The prosecuting attorney’s office, during xhe incumbency o f the present prosecutor, Frank Ii., Johnson, has been a financial saving to Greene County. When Mr. Orr was prosecutor he had his daughter employed in his office as a stenographer 'at $600 a year, paid out o f the county treasury, but when Mr. <, Johnson was elected he abolished this and has done the work himself and there­ by saved the taxpayers this $600 a year. ^ Ip addition to this Mr. Orr had p secret service officer to ferret out liquor violators, employed at $300 a'year, yet the only thing this officer did was to draw „ his salary, for we challenge Mr, Orr to produce a single liquor case that .was pro­ duced by reason of this officer’ s services. Some money was collected during this time for dow tax, but this was all through the activity of the Dairy and Food Commissioners’s office at Columbus,, and not through the activity o f W. F. Orr. Tn addition to this, Mr. Johnson has collected from the prosecution o f liquor cases $3304,65/ which has been paid in as follows: $367 65 to the village of Fairfield, $636.00 to the village of Yellow Springs, and $2301.00 to the county, and there has been paid out o f these prosecutions $ 200.00 from the village of Yellow Springs and $1745.35 from . the county, leav­ i n g a balance of $555,65 in favor of the County, and $803.65 in Favor o f the vii- - lages o f Fairfield and Yellow Springs. These figures can be substantiated by a. ' reference to the records of the Mayor’s court at Fairfield and Yellow Springs, and to the auditors books at Xenia. An itemized statement o f the amount o f money and by whom paid will be found in another part of this paper. ■ ' ; A Money Collected by Prosecutor Johnson. .V Itemized account of Money Collected by Prosecutor Johnson in,, the Pros­ ecution of Liquor cases. * M„ J.

The sentiment of the Glossinger, Hawkins and Galloway cases was, made upon the advice o f Mr. Crabbe, a attorney for Anti-Saloon League as is shown by the following letter: Dayton, Ohio, May 13, T2. To Whom it may Concern:— As attorhey representing the, prosecution in the case of Glossinger, Galloway and Hawkins for violations o f the Rose ,Law in Greene County, I RECOMMEND that the proposition made for th e 1 settlement' of the ease be accepted. I felt then as now that the circumstances warranted me in the action taken. George W. Crabbe,. Atty, for the Anti-Saloon League..

In other words, If Roosevelt elected every remaining delegate he would n o t. have enough to nominate, Taft has already carried the Republican states of New York, Massachusetts, Michigan, Indiana, lowrt, Colorado, Connccllcut, Delaware, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Wyoming and Vermont. He will have a majority of the delegates at Chicago from the North, South. East and West.- : Ilia present strength lies in 35 States And Territories; Roosevelt’s in only IT. ' Roosevelt's, alleged, strength on his own claims lies NOT IN INSTRUCTED OR PLEDGED DELEGATES, but in DNINSTRUGTED OR CONTESTED DELEGATES, . ‘ The claim of the Roosevelt managers of the Unlnstrtlcjted Delegates is an exploded MYTH. • They are Ahtr TAFT M e n . William Barnes of New York, Chairman of the Republican State Committee, says; "THERE IS NO DOUbT THAT THE VOTE OF NEW YORK STANDS 83 FOR TAFT, and 1 for Roose­ velt."
