FUNSETT OURNEXTMAYOR Thu election Tuesday did not prove half exerting to local people as did the campaign a few days previous, With four tickets in the field voters were looking for quite /a stir but instead everything was very quiet nod orderly. . The only ticket printed on the bal­ lot was that of the Republicans but the Democrats put out nn independ­ ent ticket with Dr. R. II. Dines as a candidate for mayor. H ,G. Funsett o f the paper mill headed the Citizens and Progressive tickets and won by a gm.d vote over D. H, McFarland. It was necessary for voters to write Mr. Funsett's name on the ballot. , While there were two other tickets in circulation during the campaign, they were but roor-backs to divide the voters. One was supposed to repre­ sent the colored people and had a full fist of candidates for all offices. The candidates thereon refused to have anything to do with i t and the vote showed that the ticket had never had its origin among colored people for not a single one was voted. The other ticket known as a Labor j ticket'was supposed to represent the paper mill employees as candidates but the mill hands resented the ticket as but a move to divide the vote a- gainst Mr. Funsett. Not a one of the tickets was4voted at the polls. Dr. It .ff, Dines, head of the In- depentent ticket was charged with ■ being the' sponsor for these tickets , both of which were distributed late a t night The Dr. is also charged by the colored citizens' as sending out a letter among whites that Was insult­ ing to them. The letter refefFed to was signed by “R, ,H- Dines.” The public expected to find the Dr. ‘‘extremely active-’’ for his ticket . ' election day but we are informed that ' after his experience the night pre­ vious while posting bills about mid­ night he ran counter with certain colored men that followed him and torn down the bills about as-fast as they could be put up. The claim vis made that these' bills were much like the letters sfsnt out. .. Probably for this" reason the Dr, did not think i t wise to take times to himself entangled in a bopele tical mess and abandoned hid “strict­ ly , independent ticket’'. the best story of the election was that the Dr. assumed, the duties- of Dem­ ocratic central committeeman ‘ anti sent in a lis(t of names of Democratic' voters to the election board as ap­ pointees for judges -and clerks. J . E. Mitchell is the regular committeman for the1' village and when he sent in -liis list he was informed that the Dines list had already been appoint­ ed I f there was harmony in the Dem­ ocratic ranks here Tuesday the vote does not show it. Twenty-three different persons were voted upon for council. Many good citizens received complimentary •votes, not as candidates for most of •them had nothing to do- with putting their names on the ballot. P. M. Gil- lilan received the highest vote in the written list and was only seven votes behind H. A, McLean -on the regular ticket . Vil S. Vil N A BAD YEAR FOR INCREASE IN TAX MONIES . The surprise of the election was j the defeat of most of the extra tax I levies asked for by many cities and j school districts. In Cincinnati one! of the most intensive campaigns ever waged was put up against the Taft tax referendum, the author being a resident of that city. Bdhd issues for parks, and various other purposes amounting to , several mil ion were all defeated Murray Seast.ngood, an attorney, lenehanded waged a cam­ paign in that city . against these measures. The city is now short oE finances and no way to finance the fire and police departments. The j extra levy for schools carried. . In Springfield the people voted a- gainst an extra school Ievy. It will be necessary to cut the school term short. Dayt-m refused to vote for a one mil! extra levy to provide ad­ ditional funds for increased pay to police arid firemen What was true with these nearby cities was also true in scons of snail! or places. Voting “No” was popular election day in Ohio. . ; Immortal WHERE THE KLAN FIGURED IN THE ELECTIONS Those who watch politics have been; interested in^ihe outcome of elections to see just liow much strength the Klim could muster. Youngstown elect cd a mayor on this issue alone. .Over in Springfield the Klan can- iidates for oily commissioner Were easy winners as was the police judge- The Klan candidates for school board were badly defeated. ’ • In Xenia the Klan claims the elec­ tion of two of the three successful members for board of education. . Locally the Klan didn’t figure to any extent, the only candidates receiving this support were oh the Independ­ ent or Democratic ticket. In the county the Klan won two places on the Xenia school board, Harry LeSourd, anti Klan candidate lead with L, D. Wagner and Lewis Glark next. At Jamestown most of the village ticket elected was supported by the Klan. One of the surprises was the defeat of.At Zeiner for marshal after a service of 35 years by a Klan can- At Spring Valley a member of the board of township trustees $nd an anti-klansman went down tp defeat by a klan follower At London the Klan candidate for mayor was badly defeated. Thomas Donnelly of Yellw Springs who has been mayor of that village numerous times was elected, having been out of office two years.
