Qy«x: C alvin C oolio G e . m a s s : Senator Warren G. Harding o f Ohio Was named for the Republican presi­ dential nomination at'the convention in Chicago last Saturday afternoon on the tneth ballot after one of the most noted campaigns in the party’s history. f Governor Lowden and General Wood deadlocked and remained so for a number of ballots, giving the Hard­ ing following an opportunity of win­ ning Uninstructed delegations and starting a stampeeoi towards the Ohio Senator. * Governor Coolidge. of Massachue- tts was named for vice president on the first ballot for vice president. Senator Harding is the publisher of the Marion Star, a bank director and stockholder in numerous enter­ prises and has been before the public for a number o f years. Previous to being elected senator in this state he had served in the legislature and was at one time lieutenant governor. He is 55 years o f age and has been en­ gaged in the publication of a news­ paper, having first edited the Ohio Central College paper at beria. A feature of the Domination is that it occured on his father’s birthday, who was 76 last Saturday. Another interesting point is that Senator Harding’s birthday comes on election j day in. November. . | The congressional investigation of , the primary as to the vast amount of 'money used resulted in public senti­ ment drifting to .the Senator. The Wood and Lowden campaigns as well as that o fSenator Johnson has turn­ ed the public against the present primary method of nominations. Senator Harding is a recognized campaign orator rind a man of liter­ ary talent. He is a student o f public questions and .his. experience as a statesman should commend him to every voter. . " Governor Coolridge, while not so well known in the West, has made a good governor, standing for law and ■order. His greatest work o f public ; interest was in the way he handled the policemen’s-strike in Boston when t thugs and the lower element of .the j city-revisited the city, j The election of Harding and Cooli-. ( dge means the return o f democratic i government and the rights of the }people and its representatives restor- ; ed as they were previous to the -world : war. The fcrand of Wilson autocratic government will never again he known in America. If there was one man in Greene county with joy in Ids soul it was Judge Marcus Shoup when he learn­ ed that Senator Hardjng had been nominated for the presidency at the Republican convention. Judge Shoup ‘ experienced some gloomy days back in the preferential primary in April while managing the Harding campaign in this county. The county was lost to Harding when Wpod carried it by & little over 100 votes. L The Wood campaign was under the direction of the Marshall-Gowdy fac­ tion --that had connoted themselves with 'the Wood campaign, funds, and “money talks,” The Harding forces had no money and fit was an up-hill proposition to meet the Wood cam­ paign. When it comes to determination no one has it oh the Judge and he braved the Wood money ana kept an organi­ zation together tod<f the„best possible for Harding. The Wood forces even went so far as to misquote one of the Senator’s statement# about the far­ mer and dollar wheat to swing the farmer vote but everything is fair in war and politics. The situation in Green© county in the preferential primary was no dif­ ferent from what Ifptding’s friends have'found in other! counties in this state. It was 'thd"many thousands oi dollars .spent to tofee the' Wood nomination th a t:b r ig h t about the nomination of Gena,tin Harding. Judge Shoup was a ,happy man when Harding was nominated. He then could look, back to the preferential primary and see -.whbrein money had been spent in vain-^by “ reformers” .

Farmers are In A peculiar position just at present, - Wool to sell and no one to buy it. We heard o f a farmer that hauled a load o f wool to Xenia and after vis­ iting all the dealers did not find a buy er and the price; had nothing to do with it. It scemB that buyers have re­ ceived Word from headquarters in the East, to buy no more wool. Meantime we read of the $30,000,000 net .profit. last year o f the American Woolen Mill Co. It is said the govern­ ment held great quantities o f wool and recently released it and the mar­ ket has gone to pot. But cheap wool is not making us cheap clothing. I f wool was given the clothing manufacturers the Unions would want more money for making it into cloth and then into suits. We are told in some plants women . are being paid as high as 75 cents a .button-hole in eluding the sewing on o f the^button. From this you can see what it is costing to have a suit of clothes made.

The old boards o f health that served gratis wxee disposed of for a high priced health officer for the county. One was elected in this coun­ ty. His salary we suppose is being paid. We have yet to ever hear of this officer being in town on official business. Conditions warrant some ac­ tion. Todate we have no board of health and the law is being enforced just about as many predicted when It Was passed. The only observance of the law is in the health officer draw­ ing his salary. Probably that was all the law intended. SHEETS S NOW SERVING PRISON TERM. George W, Sheets, former clerk of court, was sentenced Monday byJudge Cameron Of Marysville, t o an indeter- in the pen.

Johnson, defender's attorney, in his pleading.-He stated that friends had agreed to start Sheets in business and he would be able to pay a fine in this manner. The court held that he could not do otherwise in that Sheets had shown no removse and that counsel had placed an unusual expense on the state to prove, its case. Sheriff .Funderburg and dupty, George A. Birch, took the prisoner to Columbus by auto late Monday af­ ternoon,. The case attracted considerable at­ tention from the start.

Creswell o f this place, deputy county auditor brought \ the state and the county into prom- ; inence when It came to nominating an ’ Ohio man, Senator Warren G. Hard­ ing for the presidency. P, H. was at the convention bearing credentials for a doorkeeper but when it came to the exciting tenth ballot no such a posi- tion could keep the Deputy County Auditor from the stage. The Sunday" Chicago Tribune describes the band­ wagon parade as follows; The story is headed: “ Say, Boys and Girls, Let’s Pick Harding!" Done" or Willis and Creswell Start Some? thing. , • “ Say boys-—and girls—lets nomi­ nate Harding.” * - —Willis, of Ohiov The, jolly companionable words that roaring Willis of Ohio had spoken on Friday were the only one? that had soared above the tumult and the shouting when they, were in .the very rigor of the game on Saturady. Ip that dusty hour, when state af­ ter. state ’was wheeling—-when it was not scurrying—into Mr. Harding’s columns, all the pompous glimmering and it was the seven rough and ready words out ° f the vernacular that made the tired lighting men lean back and laugh and forget their troubles. : Even Henry Cabot Lodge permited himself the indelicacy- of a g r in - well, no, not a grin, but' a tired smile as the huriedly scrawiecf placard was placed periously near the sacred gang way from •which he had vehemently shoved an over zealous journalist earlier in the day. • Paul Creswell’s Triumph And Paul H. Creswell of Xenia, de­ puty auditor of Greene county, Ohio, was a very happy maifi by gosh, For, though the. words, were the. ■ words of Willis on Friday, it was young Mr. Creswell, the deputy au­ ditor, ip the patent, self ventilating linen cap that is prime fo r travel­ ling, who resurrected them on Satur­ day and lifted them'high:'above the din arid heat of battle. During the dramatic tenth- ballot when the Wheeling into the column and the scurrying for the new and resplendent band wagon * became' a „ mania he merged steaming from the sloppy basemfent regions of the Colia- bristol board that read on one side “For Firemen' Ohly” . On the other hq feverishly emblazoned the words of Willis- Then h© hung the placard 1 down fromuthe gallery to the left o f r the platform as you face the chair- 1 man. ■ CHEERS, LAUGHS, .VICTORY... A big, hearty, heartening cheer greeted it: A roar.of laughter bal­ looned the cheer from end to end and from side to side of the tired old hall. The deputy auditor ,o f Greene county took heart of grace, decended ’ into the arena, strode with many an “ excuse me fellows” over the pipe tables in the newspaper shambles and hung his placard in the comfortable view of a dozen thousand people. Then he dropped pleased and pant­ ing, into a chair by Levy Mayer, one of the few momentous men who can be an agreable looker on at affairs even when he cannot cut ice in con­ nection with them, and Levy patted, the deputy auditor on the back arid remarked ‘My boy you’ve said it.” Mr. Creswell had, indeed, erected more than he expected. After all the * rancors and the rhodamontaoem his prank diffussed the jovial conscious­ ness that we are still boys and girls, and even amid the strain and fume of these collossal diets that make one governing .system unique,- just folks ■together. The glad whoppee was Mr. Gres- well's reward and the band wagon continued joyously to fill, SHOWERS WERE WELCOME This section after a treat of sev­ eral days of excessive hot weather had fair showers on Saturday and ^abbath. Monday evening it was al­ most a cloud-burst but no particular damage was done. Saturday the wind was high and blew down a large part of the frame work for the stone elevator at the lime kilns fit a loss o f several hun­ dred dollars. The barri on the former Kendall damaged b y ’ the wind the same day. Monday evening we had a heavy electrical storm, and lightning struck the straw pile on the Andrew White farm occupied by Wiri; Clemans and burned it but there were no build­ ings close enough to take fife. While the rains were welocnie for corn, grass and garden truck, the wheat was just in bloom and no doubt: would not be helped by such a hard rain. ARRIVED HOME TUESDAY* Andrew Jackson arrived home on Tuesday from Chicago where he at­ tended the Republican convention where his personal friend, Senator Harding was nominated. Mr. Jackson says the delegates could do nothing else under the circumstances than recognise Harding who had made a , clean campaign. The use of money on the part o f the Wood and Lowden managers would have left the party in a close .position for the coming campaign had either been nominated. This is the tenth Republican national convention that Mr, Jackson hat at* tended. f : ( ! %
