New Factor In Connty Politics Klati Candidate Leads Commissioner Race.—-Deciding Power in Senator­ ial Contest--Davis Easy Winner for Governor. CRESWELL WON SIGNAL VICTORY OVER AIKEN It* is estimated that about 6,000 voters in (Jreerie county tool? ad­ vantage -of the primary, which is below what was expected for the hind of a day it was and the in­ terest that a. large.number of can­ didates worked up. A new factor has nut only en­ tered Greene county but • state politics, as well in the K u 'K lux . Klan. In many counties the Klan swept every "thing for their list of candidates. 1 Bert Beam, Klan candidate for county commissioner, made one of the remarkable races in Greene county politics. He made no cam- * paign yet received the highest/ vote, lie wa.° fought by a fellow' Klansman, George Earley,'but is j ■ evident that the Klan organiza­ tion held a tight line for Beam. That the. Klan will figure in a t the November election .there is no denial. This organization has nominations for representative in Rev. Fefstenberger; D, H. Kei- ter and A. D. Kendig for commis­ sioners a n d ’wE. D; ’ Stroup for county treasurer.. The Klan issue was, a big factor in the Senatorial contest between Marshall and -.Messenger, The report tha t Messenger was a Klan cut his vote in precincts -where there was a large colored vote as the Fourth ward, Xenia., and in Wilherforce, Yet a t the satrie time Deputy Auditor Paul H. Cres- well won a great victory Tuesday over Dow Aiken of Logan county for state central committeeman of the Seventh Congressional Dis­ trict. There are nine counties in the district, the largest, in the United States. The counties that gave Creswell majorities are, War­ ren 200; Clark, 2105; Greene 1540 Madison, 300. ■ Aiken received majorities in Lagan, 820; -Union 210; Cham­ paign 61Q; Clinton 229; Fayette, 280. Since the Republican National Convention in Cleveland the'anti Daugherty forces in Ohio quietly set out to break the former at­ torney generals hold in Ohio and the candidacy of Mr, Oeswell \vas for this purpose and meet with great success.

Who is to organize the newly elected central committee? Will is be the Klan or the Gowdy- Marshall faction? Or will it be a collation of Klan and Gowdy- Marshall forces? The Klan has claimed enough members to organize the commit­ tee, others deny this. A t any rate the Klan filed'petitions for candi- didates to be protected in case Marshall should back up on his agreement,* I t is now whispered th a t the Marshall strength may not be given D. H. Barnes, the Klan candidate for postoffice but will go to another. There are several independent members and it is going to be interesting as to how everybody lines up when the committee is called for organization. The Klan also makes claim to control of the Democratic cen­ tral committee just elected. The new factor in county politics is cutting quite a figure in its first adventure, BOUND OVER TO COURT ' f ——*» ■ Roger /McMillan, 21, who. has been in the \\jest, was hound over Pupila in Lakewood (Cuyahoga ;ounty) schools will not he readmit­ ted on Sept. 8, the opening date this .'all, unless they have been vaccinated within the last few years.
