CEDARVILLE, OHIO, FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 101(5 PRICE, $1.00 A YEAR IN POLITICAL CIRCLES. Tuesday u the day fo r primary nominations fo r all political parties and nominations will be made for all state affhtts from governor down to coroner m each county. There has been some speculation as to whether there would be anything like a full vote. • , - For governor the Republicans have three entrants, Gov. Willis, A, A. Mack, former attorney for the anti *a- loon,l<mgue m Hamilton county, and A .B .S h aw o f Cleveland. There is little doubt bat that Gov, Willis will be nominated though there seems to be much opposition to him from cer­ tain sources, particularly the church people. -Mack just recently left his post as dry leader in Hamilton coun- ty and is making a losing fight against Willis, He is attacking nis record m behalf o f the moral interests in that the governor as head of the liquor commission has refused to re­ move a saloon near' the Ninth Street Baptist church in Cincinnati, -protest having been filed before the license was granted. The personal .liberty followers will support Willis in Ham­ ilton county in view of the fact that an anti-saloon exponent is running against him. Shaw is not regarded as a factor in tjie race. * j . James M. Cox will be the Demo­ cratic nominee without question. His opponent is A . P. Sandals, former head of the agricultural commission. :No campaign has been waged for eith­ er but there are signs that the disrup­ tion in the Democratic party has died ' and Cox will be renominated. The three candidates for the Repub­ lican nomination for TJ. S. Senator are Myron T .Herrick, Harry Daugh­ erty and Charles Dick. The indica­ tions at this time .point to either Her­ rick or Daugherty as the winners. The fact that the large counties of the state have -endorsed Hetrick should land this honor for him.' Daugherty expects to get his vote in the rural district. Dick is making an eleventh hour campaign through the mails. The heavy voting as a rule comes from the larger centers which will make Herrick, th e, stronger without question, AUDITOR MAKES HIS REPORT ON PERSONAL PROPERTY TO TAX COMMISSION County Auditor A. E. Faulkner has forwarded hig report of personal property in the county as equalized by the Bpard, o fnRevision for 1916, l’he personal property is placed at $9,533,520, The individual returned numbered 5915 and 29 corporations, There were LI,490 horses valued at $1,049,190, 561 mules at $56,015. 19,341 cattle At $793,129. 13,402 sheep at $80,491. 18,957 hogs at $416,924. •There are 25 motor tracks valued it $10,240, 1049 automobiles valued at $365,150. 21 motorcycles valued at $1380.

Grain, .wool, etc,, $335,499. . , There are only 1495 persons who own watches if everyone made a re­ turn and only one citizen in Jefferson township has a watch o f value and it is placed at $10, CEDARVILLE CENTENNIAL. At a meeting of the Centennial Committee held on Monday night the- dale for tliq Centennial was fixed for August 30 and 31. This is two weeks later than the date originally planned but in view o f certain considerations it seemed advisable to make this change. . The plans for the celebration are working nicely and Cedarville will long remember August 80 and 31. The work of preparation is in the hands of competent committees. Dr. J. W. Dixon is chairman of the Committee on Finance, a committee which will solicit the community for funds to lefray the expenses o f the occasion. On the Democratic side Senator Pomerene is being opposed by ,the "anti-saloon league but this will only tend to force the liberal vote of the cities to Pomerene- Lentz, his oppo­ nent, is an anti-saloon speaker but regarded as extremely radical in his views of government, having a plat­ form that is largely socialistic. The congressional situation finds two candidates from this district. S. D. Fess who wants a third term and General Keifer of Springfield, who was speaker, of the House many years ago. The district is strongly Repub­ lican and the nominee will be the congressman for the Democrats are making no nomination. • - I t is said upon good authority that •General. Keifer has the endorsement o f every Republican committee in the district except in Greene county, which o f course he could not ask un­ der the circumstances. The manner in which ministers, school superin­ tendents and teachers, college presi­ dents, bankers, lawyers, farmers, in fact every class has given him per­ sonal endorsement would indicate that Something is ■going to happen next and the “Grand Old Man” sent to Congress. Even Fess' closest friends admit that the Dr. is not as strong as he was two years ago in that peo­ ple have disagreed' over his policy. Some o f these men are known to us all, the very best citizenship in Ohio. Men that are new to politics, lending a hand in an earnest effort to place the district at the front with a strong, man whose experience in pub­ lic life, whose position at this time Would lend a commanding influence over the Settlement of international questions that will, affect this coun­ try. It is no secret that the Fess follow­ ers were stunned when it became known that some o f his strongest sup­ porters two years ago are today act­ ively engaged in the campaign to send General Keifer to Congress. N. H. Fairbanks, banker and manufacturer, brother of the Republican vice presi­ dential nominee; John L, Buslmeli, son o f the former governor; President Heckert o f' Wittenburg college; Dr, R. H. Hume of the U. P. Church, Springfield; Foster B. Houston, and S. B. Rankin of South Charleston. Nor are these the only ones, just a few erf a long list that can be named. To know that such men are support­ ing General Keifer should cause the average citizen to pause and consider i f It would not be Well to make his choice the same as will these schol- ’ are, manufacturers, bankers and farmers. Dr, R, L. Haines of Painterville, candidate for county coroner, has beeh a very successful physician and has only announced for this honor On plea o f his friends that the position should be one for a physician who must hold inquests. Dh Haines was bom in Ce- darrille township and spent his early life on a farm. He graduated from Xenia high school and also from O. S. U, medical school at, Columbus. Fol­ lowing his graduation he began prac­ tice of medicine at Painterville, Where he has met with signal success.' The Dr, having been kept closely at lus profession just at this time has been unable'to personally see each voter, put promises faithful performance of WS duties i f nominated and elected. Miss Mary Ervin heads the Reception Committee. Th/e advertising will be cared for by S. C. Wright. Andrew Winter has charge o f the parade which will be the feature of the first day o f the celebration.

Vogel’s new produc­ tion, seems destined for a long and happy life, crowded houses everywhere giving praise to the manner in which Sir, Vogel has united opera, minstrel­ sy and farce, the result of his inspirar tion having all of the elements which go to make up a big musical review; or fun show. It required some dar­ ing to' introduce into minstrelsy a complete,..casta for opera and a large chorus of handsome Geisha girls and the impressario is reaping a rich har­ vest because of the courage o f his con-, victions. There is no truth in the ru­ mor that the offering is akin to bur­ lesque, as some of the doubting Thomas’ have inferred, for the .intro­ duction,of such selections as.the “ Ser­ enade” from Mozart’s “Don Giovani,” the “ Sextette” .from . “ Luciaj,” “£>iie Fine Day” from Madam Butterfly and Ada’s aria from .“ Die Keen” gives; great force to Mr. Vogel’s claim" that; his offering is far away from even a thought o f travesty; “Japland” have its initial local hearing at th>' Fiirbaiik’s TheMre, SpringSMd, nesday, ^August -9th, Matinee and night, the seat sale starting ? ? 7 listen to any suggestions that may bp offered them, and it is hoped that all of our citizens will assist them in everyway. JAMESTOWN FAIR. Next week is - the time of the Jamestown Fair,, which will be at­ tended by hundreds of our local peo­ ple, The “Jimtown Fair” is an, insti­ tution in this section of the state and what it lacks in size it makes up in “home interest” because at this fair you meet everyone you know and al­ ways have a good time. The James­ town Fair has never advertised a fea­ ture it did not present and this year it has more to offer than ever before. The racing will be particularly good, as it always is,, and with- the farmers’ busy Season all over it is a good guess that all past attendance records will be broken., VOTERS’ ATTENTION. Ainos E, Faulkner ForCountyAuditor TheCandidacy of Amos E. Faulk­ ner for CountyAuditor is looked upon withfavor throughout the County. ADVERTISED LETTERS «HHW My 2^ , 1916: ^ Beach, John Baker, 38. J* _ Campbell, Mrs. C, C, Fulton, ReV. W. S« Gerard, D. h. Hotter, John Miles, Haywood Mr. Faulkner has been County Auditor for the past two and one-half years and has proven himself for the place. His RECORD stands for that of Courtesy and Efficiency. This together with his previous ex­ perience as a Teacher and a Success­ ful Business man has given him a practical lcnowlegc of Public Affairs, and has especially equipped him for the many and various duties of County Auditor, and the County should reap the benefits of this experience by re­ taining his service.’ In the fields of both Business and Labor, all believe in promotion for efficiency; Why should not the same policy be applied in the County Affairs, by giving MER ITED RECOGNITION to one who has had the experience and has made good in the proper discharge of the duties of the most IMPORTANT OFFICE of the County. A higher degree of Service is de­ manded by the State Officials and the people each year of all the County Officials, The New Lew* made by the State Legislature have greatly increased the duties in the Auditor* Office, but with thl* great increase Mr. Faulkner hap been able to do the work on les* expense than the fee* lamed by the office. Mr, Faulkner by hi* recog­ nized ability for the place, *hould especially appeal to all voters. Maloney, PoWhell,' <. i Martin i, Oakey Patterson, R. J. Petert, Morn prince, ratef W» A* TURNHULL, CEDARVILLE AMAZED BY SUDDEN ACTION. The incredible action o f simple lavoptik eye wash, is startling. A school boy had eye strain so badly he could not read. A week’s use of lavoptik surprised his teacher so much that she used it for her pld mother. ONE WASH showed bene­ fit. A small bottle lavoptik is guar­ anteed to benefit EVERY CASE weak, strained or inflamed eyes. The IN­ CREDIBLE result is astonishing. Pure aluminum eye cup FREE with each bottle. A. E. Richards, drug­ gist, (No, 8) All will go to the polls on August 8 to vote for county nominees for all offices, from committeeman up. Why not make our votes count something toward good roads by casting our vot,e for . three - men fo r commissioners whom we know believe in. good roads md not men that will give us a repeti- iqn of 1915, when two of the commits * era refuqedio accept the state ait ,__ misBioner Stood by the good road cause but two could outvote one. Now we have one man we know favors good roads. Let us follow this up by mak­ ing inquiry as to who the, good roads boosters are and with the former of­ ficial that voted to accept the state aid fo r the Jamestown pike and have three for this cause instead of one. We can do it by our votes next Tues­ day. INTERESTED. R .F .D . Xenia. FRANK I. BROWN. Frank I Brown, one of the active candidates for judge of the Court o f Appeals in this district is more than pleased with the assurance o f support he is receiving from all parts of the district. For the past twenty years Mr, Brown has been a member of the bar of this state, and his experience during that time has well prepared him gor the office he now seeks. The vacancy in the Court of Ap­ peals occurs by reason of the expira­ tion of the term of the Dayton Judge, and it seems only logical that the nominee should conic from the west­ ern portion of the/ district; Mr. Brown is the only Day’ on can­ didate for this office. Two -years ago he was the Republican candidate for Congress from the Third District, and at that time he reduced the Democrat­ ic majority there more than five thousand votes by the clean-cut and forceful campaign he carried on. Mr. Brown is well known to many per­ sons in this locality and will no doubt receive splendid support here because of his capacity and character. DEADSTOCK WANTED. We will pay $5 for horses and $6 for cow* within 10 mile* of Xenia. Beyond that point we will pay $4 and $6 respectively. For other dead stock we will pay according to value.

A Busines Man ForBusiness Place The office of county commissioner is the channel through which the business o f the county is transacted. It is ' necessary for corporations, mcrchantilc houscs and other enter­ prises to be headed by a safe con­ servative business man who has had personal experience in handling large affairs, In the large list of candidates "seek­ ing this place-tberc is one for re- election that has all these, quali­ fications, R . D . Williamson, one o f the leading agriculturalists in the county and recognized sheep breeders with a world-wide reputation, He at pres­ ent is a member o f the state board of agriculture, being chosen by the governor for his fitness for the place. He is progressive in his ideas and an advocate o f public improvement*, especially good roads. He has been judicioua in the expenditure of county imds, yet always yielding to the call rom the township trustees and village officials when help was needed for road or street improvement. It was Vlr, Williamson who made the fight to secure the county’s share of the state automobile tax last year, Had it not wen for him the tax payers would iave been deprived -of more than $12,000 that came to this county, In the list of Mr. Williamson’s supporter* you will find the various corporation and township officials. You will find farmers and land own-, ers who have ift the past appealed for road, ditch and other improvement* endorsing his candidacy, knowing that their association with him has been of the most pleasant relation and the msiness transacted in a business way. The tax payers of the county and especially of Cedarville corporation and township have reason to give Mr. Williamson ‘3 name consideration for re-election as county commissioner in view of what lie has done for us. There is every indication that such will be done in recognition of faithful service. * * !1 General 3.
