Within the space of less than a week sixteen dogs went to their happy hunting ground by a ter­ rible death—.that p£ poisoning. Not onty the,town dog that roamed the streets but the small house dog, the pet of children met this fate,' not because the dog roamed around but because the dog received the poison in his own yard. The danger was not altogether in the loss' of a pet dog but the poison was in a form -that small children would unsuspectingly pick up what appeared to be candy and eat it with certain death ahead. Different persons have found these lozengers in their yards and parents have been uneasy fo r several days. 'It is safe to say that the Party guilty of this act had better never breath of it to a single person for an outraged public is waiting for some action. STRIKE SITUATION CAUSING BREAK IN WHEAT MARKET Farmers who have nbt sold their Wheat are now feeling the effect of the coal and railroad strike in that there is little demand fo r wheat. The b ig buyers are hot ordering from the elevators fo r fear that the wheat can not he delivered. This has caused the market price to drop and Tuesday 98 cents was ail that could be offered. Most of the elevators over this sec- 4 tion of the state are full of wheat and cannot sell. The coal situation is even worse. We find that many in this vicinity .have not yet pu t in their winter coal. This means that If any can be su* cured it will be a t a much higher price than when it could be secured la st May. Tuesday's papers told of manufacturer's in Chicago having to pay as high as $16 a ton to keep their plants going,, Locally there is little or no coal to be had. The dealers are unable to get shipments. General Manager Wilson W. Galloway stated to the Herald th a t the paper company had probably a th irty day supply on hand but th a t orders sent out now Were turned down.

For twenty-five years he has dominated the direction of the Republican central committee expect a few times that the Gowdy-Marshall faction has been in control., it’ J party. When toe wet-ary isi was credited with the wets, When clean polities was de. ‘ mantled Schmidt was charged with responsibility of the corruption. When honest elections were demanded the ti- ,rade was agtjnpt Schmidt. But Schmidt has not been responsible for all that has taken place in the past few years. He was not responsible for a certain candidate in the primary being counted out two years ago. He was not responsible fo r the scandal'in • the county treasurer’s office. He could not be charged with having any control over a grand PW tha t failed to find an indictment against J . E . Sutton: Mr. Schmidt evidently had nothing to do with ‘any of Mr. Sutton's relatives being on that jury, No one was responsible for these happenings bu t try- Gowdy-Marshall leaders. Two years ago the management of the party campaign - was such that state, congressional and county candidates became alarmed, There was a demand for some’active cam paigif work and another organization was given birth in , Xenia. George Little was .ms do chairman. The result was tha t the*campaign began to hum and the result speaks for itself. The neyv committee not only financed its own bills but rather than have a party debt hanging back paid un­ paid bills of the Gowdy-Marshall committee. August 8 a new central committee will be selected or the old committee continued in power. A campaign is being conducted to relieve the Gowdy-Marshall faction as well as the old faction of control. George Little, one of the county’s foremost citizens, has consented a t the request of such men as -Congressman Fess and others to lead this ^movement. .As a result there is every indication a t this time that the Gowdy-Marshall faction will unite with the Sehmidt-Shoup faction to defeat this movement', “We have positive infor­ mation that L. T. Marshall has made such overtures to .his once dangerous opponents and corrupt citizens. Last week we directed an open question to Mr. Marshall. To this date he has not answered whether he did or did not seek the support of these men to defeat the proposed new organiza­ tion. He has not for the simple reason, he knows that such - is the case and that we have proof otherwise. We challenge him to make a public denial, * The early report that Mr, Little was tied up with Schmidt was but a smoke screen on the p a rt of the,Gowdy- Marshall faction—that little game of deception to"fool the public. Today, Gowdy and Marshall are bidding for the aid of Schmidt to help them organize the new committee. A statement credited to Marshall that he .would rather see the committee under Ed. Schmidt’s control than .that of George Little is proven by his refusal to answer our ques­ tion. • - "The Gowdy-Matshall faction candidates for Central com­ mittee that:are successful may find themselves under a new leadership: I t may he the man they have been taught in years back to hate—H.
