FORTY-SEVENTH YEAR NO* 29. CEDARVILLE, OHIO, FRIDAY, JULY 4, 1924 PRICE;|$1.50 A YEAR SENATORBUItKH STATESPLATFORM Senator J, F. Buyko of Elyria, can­ didate for the Republican nomination tor Governor, spoke here last Friday afternoon to a good-shied crowd.'Sen­ ator Burke explained hi* stand on the various political issues in Ohio and particularly assailed crookedness and dishonesty in public life. He said that the use and creation of public jobs to pay personal political debts, the giving o f state contracts to contractors in return for campaign contributions, and the Teapot Dome ^scandal are all simply links in a chain. ‘ of political corruption. Burke applied tbe principles o f ser­ vice and honesty to the discussion of three departments in the state o f Ohio •—the Highways Department, the Welfare Department, and "the law Enforcement Department, -He assert­ ed tiiat the Highways Department is a business Enterprise and as such re­ quires the application o f business principles. .Senator Burke declared that,, if nominated and elected gover­ nor, he. would take these three depart­ ments away from the vicious domi­ nation of the “ Spoils System” and place- them on the high plane o f busi­ ness efficiency—making appointments solely on the basis o f merit rather than on the basis of party politics. Senator Burlce admits that all the people of bis city and county were not for him. The bootlegger and selfish, politician were against him and that thbfee classes were lined up against h|m in the other counties and espec­ ially in the cities. The Senator made a Very good !m- ' press!on here and bis address has caused much favorable comment, ship. It was Hr. Marshall that started out to discredit what we had. to aay. It was Mr. Marshall that called the bankers and building and loan people “knockers” , a very familiar term for ■one to use when in peed o f protection and to slay suspicion on the part o f tbe investor. Those who purchased on Mr. Marshall1® recommendation lost. Every word the Herald had to say has been proven by recent events. Women, aged men and orphans, not bankers or men versed in such finan­ cial affairs lost a penny for they did not invest in the Geiger-Jones Com­ pany that is now bankrupt. 0 -• - m Mr, Marshall became wealthy as a result of the sale o f such bogus stock to many innocent men and women that today are denied the comfort that would be possible if they had their money. Scores o f cases could be cited wherein persons will go to their graves over worry o f the loss o f their life time savings. Nearly ten years ago tiw Herald started a fight against the Geiger-Jones securities. . Those FARMERSWATCH HIGHWAY WORK CONGRESSMAN BRAND » GOES TO EUROPE Organised farmers of Ohio are again keeping an eye on the way their dollars are' being spent on j-oad maintenance and construction. C, A, Dyer, legislative representa­ tive of Ohio Farm Bureau Feder­ ation and State Grange is sending word to farmers of the state that they should report instances o f loaf­ ing or other wasteful methods o f practices in highway maintenance and construction work either to the headquarters o f their organization or the State Highway Department. As backing for his announcement Mr. Dyer quotes from a letter re- ceiyed from G. F, Schlesinger, Engi­ neer, State Highway , Department, who says: ‘'.The Division o f High­ ways would consider it a great fa­ vor if you would give publicity to Congressman Charles Brand leaves | for Europe next week to be gone on a tour of England, France, Germany and other countries to study condi­ tion* abroad. In Greece be will study the McNary-Haugen bill which has been in force in that country 19 years, The Congressman announces that he- goes abroad at his own personal ex­ pense.

Heretofore conventions have debated ftjee trade, free silver, tariff and other domestic questions but never ‘before has such a gathering been so evenly divided on wlmt is nothing more than a religious issue. For a week the convention was fo r c e d to listen to nomination speech- whether the Klatt wna to he condensed by name or under veiled terms with­ out mention of the name. The Klan is­ sue had a direct bearing oh two of the leading candidates. The delegates being divided endeavored to swing votes fo r these two candidates as a result o f this issue. MeAdoo js with­ out question-the candidate that lias the Klan backing in the convention. Gov. Smith, the anti Klan following. Smith is regarded as Wet and prob­ ably holdlW some strength' from city delegations on that account. The res­ olution committee failing to agree let the Klan issue go before the conven­ tion rod tlhe vote was one majority in shielding the K|an.‘ To many it is thought that this vote being so close was fixed to please bo th , sides and heal the breach that was disrupting Hie convention. On the balloting for nominations the Klan issue was still at the front between' McAdoo and Smith. Other candidates up to the 38th ballot could not make much of ? gain, Dark horses were kept in the dark and the convention seemed to be dead locked. Even the great Com­ moner, . William Jennings Bryan was unable to weild any influence for McAdoo or against Smith, who was too "wet” for the ■Peerless leader. * • « -« To political observers the issue in Democratic ranks this year will be nothing more or less than Klan and anti-Klan regardless o£ who is nom­ inated. The platform being more or less favorable to the Klan would be a dangerous position fo r Smith as the nominee. McAdoo could not hope for the anti-Klan support, all o f which should bet encouraging news to the Republicans and President Coolidge. . -* * * . Another feature of thd result if ■McAdoo should be nominated it, how anti-Klan Democratic papers can stand for the nominee. How would dry Democratic papers support Smith ■who is openly wet? Now that the rupture is beyond healing point wo , may watch politics from the Demot cratic standpoint with much interest. * * * L, T. Marshall seems to have cen­ tered W* campaign for State Senator around the Herald and has Wade this paper tfe* Issue in this county. He has town pleading for votes in a very unuanal manner- He approaches the voter a story endsavoring to draw siasrpathy. He oniy wants three or four vote* in this township Inst as proof that he h** a few friends loft, lid* m m plea has been made to a number of local peopte~~4nd several have come to toll us what he had to ■say, which might be interesting hews to Mm, Back to the days when finan turned their monpy over to Marshal! and lost have heart aches and sorrow for their investment. Marshall now .struts about like a prize winning rooster at a county fair with pockets bulging over commissions and profits her personally received. We challenge him to make public the amount of his personal loss in these defunct com­ panies, .- ' ■' ■ :.-■'■■■" ■■ "1 ' ■■ * * ■# From Xenia come3 one o f the most heart rendering stories in connection with the Marshall clean-up, As usual it concerns an aged woman who had seyeral thousand dollars in a Xenia building and. loan; ; When Marshall teamed that this woman lhad money in the loan he set his sail for it. He finally induced the -lady to withdraw her money and torn ,it over to him. Tiie lady wanted to purchase a home. Ail she had in the*world' was in’ the loan. When the money was withdrawn the loan officials were suspicious, It was nothing more than right that a word of advice be offered and it was all withdrawn but a small mount. The lady had been inoculated with tbe poison that the bankers wore only jealous and were “knocking” his prop­ osition^ Some Weeks later the lady bargained fbr a bopae. She put U] mu shestonteai^caah some o f the stock Marshall had sold hen He wouldn’t or rf>pldn-t. The loan association or banks considered it a* worthless. Marshall had. promised this poor misguided lady that she could have her money when ever she wanted it. Tuxes had to be paid. The insurance was due. - There were 'no. funds to meet such. Tears o f this aged lady as she pleaded for hep money were as drops of rain in the .pecan. She was. told one Story and then another but finally the awful hews came. The com­ pany in Which her mpney was invest­ ed went bankrupt and a lifetime sav­ ings were swept away with, little or no hope of ever returning.. The time came when under the laws o f Ohio the loan must collect and this old lady was forced to release her home. Dark­ ness with all its pang* o f suffering dosed in and this victim in the sunset of life was wrecked financially and in spirit. A striking example o f the risk o f sending a man to legislatue who has spent the major portion o f his business career eating as a vulture and waxing fat from the misfortune o f the innocent. Imagine if you can the possibility o f Marshall With such a record voting for a single measure that would protect your money in a bank or building and loan association. The speculators, stock gamblers and blue sky promoters are working to destroy the Ohio blue sky law that is not strong enough now. It needs teeth in as Attorney General Crabbe says. Teeth will be extracted i f Marshall ever gets a vote instead o f provision for prison sentence for such viola­ tions. 0 0 • , While the Klah figures in Democrat­ ic politics and has tom a big hole in that party reports reach us that not so many days ago the Klan in this county made borne political recom­ mendations as a guide to members at the coming primsry. It has been known for some time that Miss Mary Ervifj sought the Klan support. We are told that Mis* Ervin's name was presented and but two ladies cast votes fo r her. Rev. J. Frank Gordon of Jamestown has the organization support. From what we can learnR. D. Williamson’s name was not pre-< seated, It has been impossible to get a full list o f candidates endorsed by the Klan, About 2060 people filled the Klan temple at the endorsement meet­ ing. methods and practices on State Highway maintenance and construc­ tion work. Employees of this de­ partment are expected to be as effi­ cient and faithful as their employer, which is the State of Ohio, aa they would be in private commerical em­ ployment.” Along with this announcement Mr. Dyer states that evidence imust be accurate and complete, evidence that would convict in the court room if the case were on trial. A number o f complaints of farmers were followed up last year and re­ sulted, in improved road woTk, ac­ cording to Mr. Dyer.

Farmers who suspect that, they may- have tuberculosis among their cat­ tle, hogs or poultry should immedi­ ately call their veterinarian, who will he able to make a complete diagno­ sis and determine whether the dis­ ease, is present. The diagnosis is known as the “ tuberculin test” and Can be given only by a licensed vet­ erinarian. POULTRYWILL GETTUBERCULOSIS “ Tuberculosis among the hog* and poultry o f Harmony has. r cently been found to active form,” says E. H. Faulkner, teacher o f vocational agri­ culture in the Harmony township high school. He thinks this is a fact of vital importance to the health o f the people themselves, for when this disease is found among hogi and poultry, it ia a strong indication that it exists among the cattle. . ^'Poultry get tuberculosis,” says Mrf. Faulkner,‘ from something they eat, fo r the disease affects the in­ testinal tract and the liver before it attacks the lungs. And when chick­ ens have tuberculosis, it -means that they have eaten something which was teeming, with tuberculosis germs. It may have been the carcass o f some animal which died of tbe disease, or it may have been milk from a tuber­ culous cow. In counties where cream­ ery buttermilk or skim milk1is fed, there is grave danger unless the milk has been pasteurized at the cream- eary.” ■ These statements are based on some recent examinations of poultry which Mr. Faulkner has made at the request of farmers. Three post-mor­ tems have been made recently, he says, all of which have shown tuber­ culosis in poultry. Another post­ mortem was made on a hog, the lungs o f which were almost complete­ ly destroyed by .the disease. This post-mortem was made by Dr. Raine, o f South Charleston, and' witnessed by several high school (boys who were out with their teacher on a live stock judging trip. Tuberculosis to poultry is not in itself dangerous for people, but since its presence in poultry indicate that the .disease may also be pre sent .in , Cattle, the situation deserves the aeiv * ious attention o f farmers. Tubercu­ losis in cattle is directly transferred to people by the use of raw milk. Milk ,that is used in cooking would not he dangerous, because the germs of 1 tuberculosis are killed by beat several degrees below ' the boiling 80NUS FORMS AT , RED CROSS OFFICE Ex-service men wishing assistance in filling out their National Bonus forms should come to the Red Gross office during the month o f July, This month;® being set aside particularly for the bonus work.
