Another echo o f the recent primary in th« eoonty is hoard tiu* week. The Gowdy-Marshall gang is looking down -tholr jmmmm while the leaders wbnder i f they must fork over to the comity 'on bonds o f men charged with illegal voting, . A t the primary this faction caused the arrest o f V m . Shields, colored precinct election officer f o r not swear­ ing two non-resident voters. The af­ fidavits were sworn to by men at the instigation o f Gowdy and Marshall, They were later withdrawn fo r some reason never made public. Two sol­ dier* as, parents o f the Washington Hospital filed the. next affidavits ac­ cording to the records, Now these same soldiers voted at a recent school bond issue election in that city though non residents. The y are. out on bond o f $500 %ach furnished by-Gowdy and Marshall, These two soldiers just a few days ago withdrew their charges against Shields., It seems they had tired o f being a .tool o f the reform gang. , I t is .also reported that these same soldiers since having been arrested on a .charge o f illegal balloting have been ordered away .from Xenia and that their allowance has been cut. Probably ‘Gowdy and Marshall _can prevail on some other sucker to act af, their tool but meantime some one Should make it his, business to see that i f these soldiers do not answer in court on the charge o f illegal vot* ing that Gowdy-Marshall shall make ■the'$600 bond fo r each good to the. county.. The taxpayer’s money i? being used to pile up costs all brought about by •Gowdy and Marshall who are defend­ ing non-resident voters .for . illegal Voting. The celebrated Fourth ward was the only precinct in th e ’ city to give a majority "or the bond issue o f several hundred thousand dollars. REV. V, E . BUSLER RETURNED ' M. E, CONFERENCE. COUNCIL MEETING. . Rev, Vinton E. Busier has been re­ turned to the Cedarville Methodist Episcopal church' for another year. H e reports tha t the West Ohio Con­ ference was by fa r the best in the history .of the church. There was a spirit o f optimism, entheusiasm, and awakening fe lt as never before. A greater number o f conversions and ms.ta a during any- previous year, * •More than $100,OOQ Centenary mon­ e y came to the' Treasurer o f the Con­ ference this year than last year. The Cedarville charge was.second in jhe Springfield District in per cen- tage o f increase o f Church member­ ship. Mr- Busier attributes this * to the; .support that the people have given him ana says that Cedarville can be first next year if the people Will but desire it enough to put in the same hard work that they did last year. Through these columns he asks that every person who' is a member 'or who is in any way con­ nected with, the Church to be present next Sunday at the different Servi­ ces and especially the morning wor­ ship. Any friends or visitors in the' town are cordially invited also. We are informed that the local charge will pay Rev, Busier $1,800 as the minimum salary fo r the en­ suing year, which 1 b several hundred dollars o f an increase over what has ever been paid a pastor before. The entire community is to be congratulated on Rev. Busier’* return. His services not only to the upbuild­ ing o f his congregation but o f the Boy Scouts, Chautauqua and Lecture Course are recognized and each has prospered by his efforts. Council held a regular meeting on Tm lay evening, and adoumed to meei, again last evening when a rep­ resentative o f The Dayton Power & Lifcht Co., was present to ask fo r a slight increase in commercial rates One c f the important questions to come up for discussion was the "si­ lent watchman" in the public square. Of late there has been much criti­ cism on having such-a mark in that regular traffic rules could not be ob­ served when most o f the street was occupied by building material for the bank, Council realizes the situation and has granted certain uses o f the street in order that the new building can be erected. This was not only a necessity but in most every- town,' large or small, it is custom. The .new building is. to be quite n credit to the town and council has not been desirous o f placing any hinderance. Those who have been critizing spcli conditions can observe the traffic laws by slowing up when making .the turn on the square. iWe notice the large trucks all make the turn with­ out much, trouble and so do out of town tourists. Traffic rules have-not been obser­ ved by our local people as they should be.,One or. two narrow escapes have oeen reported a ll because the drivers did hot observe the same rules in force in neighboring cities and towns. Council ordered Marshal Myers' to get busy. Conditions last Saturday night have caused the officials to take steps, to enforce the Usual rules. So from now oh everyone must-keep ip mind that unless you observe these rules the Marsha] is to invite you to a conference with the? Mayor. Council ..will tryout a- new plan of parking automobiles on Main street to see i f the Saturday night conges­ tion cannot be eliminated. From now on until further notice all automo- jies'irmst be parked on.thewest side o f Main street and driven straight to the curb to. take up the least amount o f room. N o one is to he permitted to leave ■a machine stand' on the East side of the street only, long enough to .oad and unload. The question o f vacating an alley along the D. S, Ervin .property tha t ha's been- before council was left untouched as T, B. Andrew, an ad­ joining property owner protested. It would be necessary fo r all adjoining property owners to" agree >eforo spuned ooulddo, ' APPLYING THE RECALL.
