Surprise Given Republicans When ILocol Count is Made—'Many Not OnlySupported WilsonBut StraightTickets—ElectionNews fitInGeneral. The campaign that doped Monday night was .one o f the most unusual in the history of the country. Never was there- a time in the memory of the • oldest citizen when the silent vote was such a prominent factor. The campaign; throughout was mark­ ed by a general apathy on the part of voters as only Hughes and Wilson Were sbje to attract record breaking crowds. Locally this community was ho dif­ feren t tha* most others in the state. People refused to become excited over either candidate, It was just a day wherewith each voter went to the polls and registered his verdict. The vote was somewhat lighter than ex­ pected in both precincts than what it has been on other national elections. The township polled 286 Votes and the corporation 299. From the start o f the count it was evident, that President Wilson had, , .ad a great gain here. In the corpor­ ation there were 75 straight demo­ cratic votes. In the township 65/ This is an unusual number in each precinct. . , A comparison of the vote with four years ago also shows the President made gains. Then he' received 60 votes in the corporation, this year 95., In the township four years ago Wil­ son received 76 votes and this year 87. This is a fifty per cent gain in town. A comparison of the vote on gover­ norship with two years ago also shows Cox to have added about one-third to ■his vote. Then .Cox received 62 votes while this year he was credited with 84. In the township two years ago Cox received 63 and this year 81. The senatorial contest between Myron T, Herrick and Senator Pom- erene indicated that Pomerene was not a very strong- factor in the race, not being able to keep up with the head ’o f the ticket. In the corpora tfon Herrick received 198 and Pom­ erene 82; in the township Herrick 185 and Pomerene 80.‘ The Prohibition ticket received 12 votes jn the township; 8 In the cor­ poration.

Probate Judge contest attract­ ed more attention over the county than national and state tickets. The straw vote taken hy this paper where­ in more than 900’ votes were cast in­ dicated that the contest was between Howard, Johnson and Marshall. The vote for these three was so close that the Herald ventured no prediction as to the result. Like in everything else organization counts and Johnson and Marshall had this as can be shown by the returns. Judge Howard made his canvass on his record in office and , had to combat the third term argu­ ment. While Judge Howard had a . lead o f about 40 over Marshall in the canvass yet this was small in a vote o f more than six thousand in the ____________________________ . had woif California and North Dakota this giving him 269 electoral vote* or three more than necessary. Should Hughes secure the doubtful states with 27 electoral wites he could not land. — Many contests are expected for each side and there would be no surprise that the contests are taken to court or congress as in the Hayes •and Tiiden contest fifty years ago.

MARSHALL WINS THE- PROBATE JUDGESHIP, The vote on the judicial ticket in­ dicates that the electorate was as much or more interested in the fight fo r probate judge than what the re­ sult would be on the national and state tickets. It has been appar­ ent for three weeks that the contest was'- between Marshall, Howard and Johnson and the least thing might turn the tide to either, i Last Saturday the Democrats through their county organization sent out word to their followers to get behind Watson, the only Democrat oh the ticket. As a result Watson land­ ed fourth in the race and had his party given hitwimything like solid support he could hate been An easy Winner, All Of the candidates had made a strong bid for tm* vote. An instance in this fight was shown at Jamestown where the Democrats united to break up, the Johnson and Marshall organizations, both having more workers than all the other can- dates combined. With Rob. Turnbull jn charge Jamestown landed In the Watson column and Johnson only carried Silvercteek township by one W^afoB^ing Is thecountyvoteon Prosecutor Johnson claims that by a confusion of names it cost him 500 votes in the county, This was due to the fact that Judge James Johnson, candidate for supreme court received 445 more votes than A. M. Summers, the Republican candidate, both of whom reside in Springfield, Judge Johnson also run 999 votes ahead of Joyce, Republican and 718 fhead of his running mate, Donahue. A clever trick was worked he e two precincts by the Marshall follow­ ers against Prosecutor Johnson. Both of these candidates were making a desperate effort to land the negro vote and no expense was being spar­ ed. Just' before noon some o f the Johnson colored workers wcreJinform- ed that Johnson had no idea of plac­ ing a negro in his office, that he had also promised the whites there would be none and that as proof of such mung James Kyle, Son of 'Judge lyle, was named in the election can­ ard as the coming deputy. This in­ flamed the negro workers who threw their support to Marshall and after­ wards were promised pay for what they had done. No one will admit hat there was a semblance o f truth Jn the story, but what's the use, everything goes in politics. COLORED GENT FORGES CHECKS ON MERCHANTS Ralph Richardson, colored, who has been employed by D, S. Ervin, until just recently applied to Wm. Watt for a job o f husking corn. He was given two days work and paid with a check each day. ' . Thursday, local merchants accept­ ed checks from Richardson on Mr* Watt and it was found that they had been forged. Rufus McFarland cashed one for $9; Waiter Culticc, $8; M. C, Nagley, $10; R. Bird & Sons’ Co,, $5* The officers upon investigation found the fellow had been placed un­ der arrest in Dayton for drunkenness and was in the works. It was also discovered that' lie is out of a peni­ tentiary in Indiana on parole. Upon his release from the workhouse the local authorities will bring him back for a hearing. *" LITTLE GIRL FRIGHTFULLY BURNED LAST SABBATH ALL CHURCHES UNITE AGAINST I ^ E MORMONS tb f judgtfbip: A great battle has been waged In Utah on the part of/the Protestant churches to break the hold, of the Vformon church on the control of that state. For years hack the Mormon :hurch has delivered its Vote to the Republicans. Four years ago it was one of the two states that Taft car­ ried, Returns this year indicate that the Protestant churches have won their fight and given the electoral vote ' President Wilson. BUTTEiR Bring u* your *ur» triua- An nfctra good prlo* for •xtr* g o o il hu ttor a * fit Bird A tom Co. The little eighteen months old daughter o f Dr. and Mrs. Leo Ander­ son was frightfully burned last Sab­ bath morning by falling head first into a tub of scalding water. As a result the little one's face, arm and shoulder were burned in a manner that brought great suffering to the unfortunate one. Dr. Marsh was called and dressed the burns. It is thought that there will he no marks on the face that cannot be outgrown. PRODUCE GOING HIGHER. With coal, flour and potatoes reaching, the limit, if there is any limit, people are wondering where the poorer classes Are to get their living this winler, especially after weather breaks ar.d outdoor work is impossible. Coal is being sold in coal sections to cents per bushel. Between the rail­ roads and coal companies consumers at a distance are forced to pay double prices and many dealers are mable to get shipments. In viewing a mar­ ket report several days ago we no­ tice that hay is selling'at $8 a ton while straw is quoted at $10, an un­ usual incident. FOR SALE—-I have for sale a very desirable, centrally located piece o f property in Xenia, which will rent to good tenant to pay 10 per cent per annum.

Which DoYou Prefer? It is important for reasons o f health and practical economy for every housekeeper to ask herself this question: "D o I prefer a pure baiting powder like Royal, made o f cream o f tartar derived from grapes, or am I willing to use a baking powder made o f alum or phosphate,<both derived from mineral sources ?” The names o f the ingredients printed on the label show Whether the kind you are now using or any brandy new or old , that may be offered is a genuine cream o f tartar powder, or merely a phosphate or alum compound.

YOUNG CALVERT INJURED. Donald Calvert, son o f Mr. and Mrs, T. L. Calvert o f Selma, who ha been playing center on the Earlham college eleven, was injured last week by hav­ ing an ankle broken while in a prac­ tice game.

Since the Australian ’ election law went into effect years ago the Boards o f Elections in each county appointed judges and clerks on the ’recommendation o f the central committeeman front each precinot, . There having, been many sus­ picious things put aoross b y the present board, and knowing that ah election was at hand and the Re­ publican side o f the board was under the con trol-of . " B obs " Mar­ shall, it was no surprise when the aadidates for' probate judge and others, as well learned that the board bad turned down most o f the committee recommendation*. There w** a purpose in their madness, iratic member* o f thd board'always let the Republican .members settle their own differences. * For thlB reason it was no trouble for member John Baughn to present his list of officers that had been made up inian office in the Allen building the hour previous. John being cut from the kind o f cloth that paid honest debts with lead dollars through the receivership route following a more or less spectacular business venture iu'Jamestown,-was just the miorsnl o f human nature to do such a job as Marshall planned. The Democratic members only smiled at what was going on know­ ing that a precedent was being established that might make things interesting in this county before many months. .Thatguch will happen there, can be no question. This precedentWill enable the next board to turn down the recommendation of ever" com­ mitteeman that has the Marshall brand on his bach. It was the last list of appointments Marshall could dictate for the anti-Marshall com­ mittee will name the next member of the election board, and it will be a successor to Baughn whose time oxpirea next August. "Good N ight" to Messrs Baugn and Marshall. Surface indications at this time points to the fact that your committeemen will have to be introduced to their precinct election officials after nezt August. By the will of the late J. H. Stor­ mont, a bequest of $1000 is made to each of his children as follows: Ber­ tha, Edna, Mabel, and James, while .the elder son, Meryl, he gives the 77 acre farm south of the Federal pike, while the home place o f 107 acres goes to the widow her .lifetime and then divided between the first four named heirs.
