CEDARVILLE, ‘OHIO, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14,1917 PRICE, $1.00 A YEAR New Species Political Creature lu llin g Ceulral Committee Contest Brings Factions in Clash that Enables Old Guard to Exhibit Odd Species of Political Creature— Marshall Endeavors to Pl&y Kaiser Bill but Members Re­ ject Autocratic Control. If the allies give old Bill ^Kaiser Such a milling as the Old Guard gave the so-called reformers last Saturday in the central committee scrap, demo­ cracy will be safe for all time. . As a rule th e average citizen cares little or nothing about_ a committee contest, in as much as one faction re- ■presents no more to--the .people than the other,. There were days back when one side or the other had ah issue that, attracted the voters .but a trial of political rule of each faction has proven that one stands for. no more than the other,' Even the naine of reform has lost its charm and right it should after whbfc it has been com­ pelled to cover in the couftty.- The days of grand jury investigation when reformers testified as to the improper Use. of money in elections, has driven conscientious voters to look* with alarm a t all the charges of rottenness being laid a t the door of any one faction. BigWt'TJunkTng people "with •no ax to grind, are merely letting the professional politicians and those sail- ■ in g Under th e alien n am e o f R eform h a v e i t out, . Some weeks ago the Reform ele­ ment headed by L. T. Marshall, the Geiger-Jones blue sky pilot in_ this i county, well known in political circles as the geni; with the bulging forehead, set out to capture the committee which had been lost to him since the election last year. This was only made possible by four vacancies on the committee and to gain control, it was necessary to have these new ap­ pointments. - The chairman of the meeting was one of Xenia's sterling business men, Gharles Adair. I t being his. first season in politics, having ousted the Marshall candidate a t the election. Charles of course could not be con­ sidered with that; faction. Not being an adapt a t the game, Marshall put ■one over on him and named four of his friends thinking that he then could get control and control the po- - litical patronage, disposing of it along with the tJ. and J. green goods. As a result, Marshall's friends called a meeting f o r last Saturday for the purpose of throwing young Adair out of the trenches over in front of the, . heavy artillery with not even, a gas mask fo r protection. The meeting of the committee was duly opened but there was no secre­ tary, present.' Thomas Long, by virtue o f choice following the organiz­ ation last fall, being the keeper of the records and seals of the committee. »®Thoma8 is said to have-had an attack of cold feet recently and was just a little shy where he trod. Thomas ex­ ercised so great care that he did not arrive in time mid one George Mc­ Donnell, will henceforth become poss­ essor of the committee records, at • least until such time as Marshall is . ab le to b re a k down th e p re s e n t fro n t and make his own organization. I t was a cruel and trying task of administering a rebuke for . impro­ priety, if such a term is permissible • in politics, but be it remembered that we are now in war time and we can­ not think in politics as many other things, in terms of gentleness. The firs t shot from, the Old Guard breastworks was when John Shu­ maker, Xenia committeeman, arose • and offered a motion to recind1the action of the committee two weeks' ago on the ground that he was not In­ structed correctly as to what he was voting on and the selections were therefore made on fraud. The Shu­ maker motion wa.; much after the Statement of President Wilson con­ cerning the German rulers. Bring up men we have confidence in, now th a t you have proven yourselves guilty of treachery and we will talk terms. A vote was taken and the Shu­ maker motion was endorsed by a vote of 17 to 11. Just for being tardy Long fell short on his job and McDonald was made the new sdbre* tary by a vote of ID to 0, which would indicate th a t neither faction was willing to stand sponsor for Thomas, whom it may be said will likely be neutral from now on. The heavy fighting having subsided there was nothing much to do but re­ turn the four Marshall warriors to the rear as prisoners. The new men drafted were, Ed. Miles, In Xenia's fourth ward; Leroy Irons, Spring Valley; William Hopping, Cedarville; Thomas Gheen, Bath township. In the fracus, Billy Rogers, Mar­ shall's fourth ward favorite, dropped out as easily as he thought he had dropped in. Billy has turned many a trick in the fourth ward for the Mar­ shall crowd tha t would make interest­ ing reading a t any church festival or woman's club. There are only a very, • Very few men of integrity, for that reason Marshall has "Kaisorized” the county and it determined to be the political boss. Billy takes to situation like a child with the Castoria “bottle. Says he was selected without his consent or knowledge, and was removed in the same maimer.* After all it was just a committee fight in which two factions met. The one sidq is composed o f as good men • as the other. The only, really safe man to-handle politics is Marshall, ‘and the joke of i t is ho has made him* self believe tha t his superiority as a politician cannot ho matched, lhfi old guard .say th a t Marshall repre­ sent* a ring-tailed gyasticutus and is now in the middle of the ring for exhibition, Cedarville Sends Five In First Contingent The days of 61 to 85 are brought to mind when OedarviUs township held the honors for volunteers in the Civil War, population being con­ sidered.

Some years back, we used to beseech the Legislature to g ran t ub th is privi­ lege, believing th a t if we only could •viote on the question, we would make sh o rt work of the liquor traffic. B u t two or three defeat^ have tau g h t us some very un­ pleasant lessons. We find th a t we have a very wily and unscrupulous toe to combat, one who depends en­ tirely on m isrepresentations. These must be met and exposed. Then we must, overcome the -in­ difference o f those who are not op­ posed to prohibition. Many are like a large number of the colored people of the South, wjio, because of the benumbing influence of slavery, did no t appreciate freedom when i t came, They have become so used to Boeing d runkards reeling on the streets th a t i t does not move them, The most pathetic story of distress caused by drink often falls on sympathetic ears. 1 his Is one of the hardest problems of the cam- pain. When this . is .accomplish!, the v ictory will be won.. -No doubt, one of the most effective arguments with th is class is tho economic one. If we can only convince them that, instead of lessening their taxes, the liquor traffic increases them, and chat the community th a t outlaws the traffic .becomes much more prosperous, we may be able to win them to the cause. Every dry state can furnish abundan t evidence to prove these statements. The busi­ ness of those who are dead In ear­ nest during these two months is to get the fac ts to the people.
