CEDARVILLE, CEPE TIED * READYFOR KLANDOR A new angle, has developed in the Xenia, post office contest There are three known candidates, C. H, Little, Erakin. Winter and D. H. Barnes. As has keen known for some time arid addmitted by the Ktan leaders that D* H, Barnes, was to have the em dorsemenfc' of the Gowdy-Marshal committee* This was in return fo Klan support of “ Senator1* Marshal* at the. recent primary. Many of the Marshall followers have not fell into line on this agreement and are'out in the open against Barnes. They now say that the Executive Committe has not now nor never has had. any idea of supporting Barnes. Some go. ft# far as to say that Barnes will never be able to qualify, and for that reason the committee will not be called upon 'to make the endorsement. This fac­ tion expects to endorse Winter1 ai the proper time. Erskin wa? treaser- Or of the Gow^y-Marshall executive '''committee last year. The whole sit­ uation todate has been one o f artfu' deception. The plan was recently v folded to a state politician by one p. the higher-ups in authority in this county. The maiden efforts o f the : Kian in Greene- county 'politics’ m.^ yet bring to the surface just what has been going on under cover during the past summer.
