JULY 18. 1924 PRICE,.$I.50 A YEAR 0 m m * r COUNTYCANDIDATE WORKS IN CLARKCOONTY One o f the beet political stories of tli# campaign emipstes from Clifton #nd concern the two wise women of the Greene County W, C. T, U. Owe of these women is a veteran cam­ paigner, getting two hitches at each’ election. She holds the distinction of informing the' Republicans who is to nominated for state and county office* 'and then at the Regular electionworks for Democratic candidates. As the county line passes through -Clifton part of the town is in Greene and part Rjiftrk county. These two women, one of whom was' Mrs. ' Carrie. Flatter, boss of the organisation and the oth­ er was,Mias Mary Ervin,.the latter tho Gowdy-Marshall^ candidate for state representative/and a sister of Judge. ,T. C. Marshall, who wants two years more at the county crib in the capacity o£ prosecuting, ’attorney. These ladies made a call to interest a minister in the Ervin campaign. The minister listened very attentive­ ly as io ’why R. D. Williamson should not ha nominated. Rev. J. F, Goi-dcn, who has the Klan endorsement, re­ ceived a good panning and then the , Kevin merits were -extolled. When the cigarette users, tobacco chcivers and smokers were, laid out as enemies of the government, the Reverend in a very gentle manner politely inform­ ed the women politicians that ho was' sorry but be could not have a vote in . Greene county as lie was a resident ' c4 Clark county. The remarkable thing about the situation is that the ..jtodd mini?ter was never informed that Mrs. Flatter and Miss Ervin put forth every eiForfc to get the Klan en- , dor?;ement hut fell down. !

He ordered the, painter to paint the rodf , .ted, the porch columns white ahd the .floor blue.

But there is a revolt in the R e l i c s * ticket for lieutenant gov- Gcwriy-Marshall faction. Those who »irti-i-nrtfii.nni -rnmr~rfiB- 1 irr‘ "'' Lust Thursday evening Xeriians were,treated to a porch campaign at the heme of ,L. T. Marshall, candidate for State Senator. Oh the porch that evening sat the ffamous Columbus lobbyist for the American Tobacco Company and the American Book Company, D. Pemberton, who Saya he deliver." the Clinton county vote according to directions, Marshall is counting on Pemberton delivering ithat county. We ’confess that it takes isome nerve to stage such a camp ugn oft a front porch in Xenia, Pemberton makes his money securing' the passage of bills suitable ,to the above named , companies and smothering such hills as the companies do not want eaacted into Intv. As the Ervin home is but a pace aWay and the Miss sponsoring? . f a campaign an anti-lobacco grounds, it. looks like a complex situation. It is a safe bet that either Pemberton- or the W, C. T. U. is going to get the double cross if Marshall should be nominated and elected. Now for the decorations for the Marshall porch. Andy Clump has set a good example in ’ the - upe of the ■National colors and they are certain­ ly appropriate at this time. We would suggest that the roof be painted red to represent the bicod wasted in men­ tal torture, worry and sacrifice the hundreds of poor helpless women that have been hied by Marshall in the Kale of worthless stocks in companies represented by him as sound finanei ally. The porch columns should he as white- as the driven snow as symbols of tile church he has used to shield his mania for money •from uninformed ammand women, The white might also ' Fet<*g P an at t s T ' " f I in the past have obeyed orders and been good hoys now seek relief from the oppression and revolt at continued dictation, Hardly a lawyer in the Marshall-Dowdy faction has had even recognition within the past two years, the rich cases all, going - to brother Roy, The hoys helped. Judge Gowdy get on tho bench. Now Roy Wants n jpb in Columbus. Sister Mary must he taken care of and the good things given to the family while the little- toltews in the trenches that have car­ ried the .sapd arc lashed, and told to continue or he kicked out That’s this reason Frank Dean is a candidate for prosecuting attorney and we find he ha» the sympathy of a largerpercent of the people. In the old days boss was the charge hurled at H. E, Schmidt, hut he certainly can find a bit of comfort in his recent defeats by seeing events come ito the surface as they are today in this county. Even the Marshall-Gowdy aid society, the W. C, T, U, is tom to shreds Over the dictation attempted by Mrs. Flatter. Mr. Dean has some sfcanueh friends In the woman’s political organisation Ihht under the Flatter management is hut masquerading as an agency of what the name once Stood for. It is certain-that Mrs.’ Flatter will not have all the ladies votes safely pocked away'in her shopping bag* ready for delivery on election day to Mr. Mar- vhalL 1 * " * *y. The governorship situation seems to concern many people at this time. We find that Senator Burke has quite x following, probably the lead in tM< section, at this time. There are scVera* League came next. Many temperance advocates are far' from being with White due to his association .and the ictive support of. the Harry Daugher­ ty crowd. Many think fhe White record is far from being white when altigned with the record of Daugherty who was forced out of the Coolidge mbine.t. White's nomination means defeat this fall by Donahey. Former .Jovemor. Harry Davis is next in cop- lideraticn- Und probaby Reserves the; lonfihaticih more than any of the can­ didates. Not a word Can be said- a- ;rainst his adminiatpntion. He forced through the re-ergqpteation bill that ■mused a split in hi# party, but has saved the state several million dollars Davis was forced out of his second term by party politicians who never want useless offices abolished. Davis was as dry as a bone and removed a number of officials for not enforcing, the law. His record in that respect is on par with anything that Burke, or White could promise. When it comes to a business administration no Haw ran be picked in the two year term he gave the people of Ohio. But at this time Senator Burke has the lead not only here but over the county from v,hat we can learn. . . » * a . The Herald som eweeks ago gave cur readers the first intimation of a deal that was proposed by L. T. Marshall to the K. K. K, that he Would endorse their candidate for the Xenia post office, Prof. D# H, Barnes, in return for the Klan endorsement to Marshall in his candidacy for state senator, The post office is still hang­ ing fire. Postmaster Rices' term has expired. Marshall has not yet been able to deliver the Republican com­ mittee to the Klan, The Klan is saw* mg wood but playing a safe brand of polities* The Klan has a list of can­ didates fdr Republican central com­ mittee in the county. More than that the organization he* a majority at thi3 time and the election is not due for nearly a month. The Klan is not worrying about what Marshall docs, Bettor days loom ahead and the or­ ganization is abiding ito time, The Klan might he interested in a report about an insulting letter that is Said to have passed from the county boss to Senator Kess* Big things loom in the near future, ernor at the coming primary.

The gas company franchise expires soon and the city council is willing to give a fair rate hut‘consider a ten cent increase out of reaso^i. An expert gas engineer reports1 the company paid a fifty per cent dividend last year and that the increased price Is not warranted. The question will go to the Public Utilities Commission for settlement, which means certain victory for the gas company. Tne power given this commission is what Senator Burke fought in the last legislature and what is making him strong in his campaign for governor, Cas consumers might take into con­ sideration which of the candidates for state senator if nominated and elect­ ed will vote to unhorjm the public utility commission, C#daryilte grant­ ed tiie gas company jan increase in rates last year, and id the dead of winter our gas was Ordered reduced in pressure on orders from Columbus.

The WHEAT PRICE TAKES A DECIDED JUMP THIS WEEK Farmers are much encouraged over the increase in wheat prices. We are intormed that $1.12 for August deliv­ ery is being quoted. Some predict that wheat will go to $1.50 per bushel due to poor crops in the great Canadian wheat belt. The crop in-this country will be short several million bushels according to government reports. Locally the wheat is said to he of a good uqality and will average from 20 to 30 bushels per acre, There will he no threshing for probably a week yet.
