CANDIDATES GALORE: STATE-COUNTY OFFICES; NOMINATIONS CLOSED * , Twelve Enter for Governor on Re­ publican S ta te-Som e County Sur­ prises—Tate for Sheriff Meets With General Approval. The time for filing as candidates a t the August primaries last Friday night brought a few surprises in both State and county political circles. It is certain that Ohio voters will have material plenty to select from in the list of twelve entries on the -Republi­ can ticket for governor. Some of these were never heard of before, some have not the qualification and only about four of the twelve have any chance. Foremost in the list,* and probably the best qualified is Thad H .' Brown, present secretary of state. Next would be Myers Y. Cooper, Cincinnati, real­ tor; The next two probably are Harry S« Day, state treasurer, and Joseph B. Sieber, who must contend- for the support of a certain organization that gave him a big vote two years ago. For lieutenant governor ten have entered and bu t two of the ten are outstanding; J, F. Burke> former state senator from Elyria, who spoke at Cedarville College more than a year ago, and was a candidate fo r governor that year. The other is James 0 . Mills ovifrier of a string of restaurants in Cleveland, Columbus ,and Cincinnati. Three cast i nfor secretary of state and Clarence J. Brown, former lieu­ tenant governor probably stands first; J. E. Cross, cler kof the last senate;- and Edward J. Hummel, Cincinnati, has the habit of running for this of­ fice. * Eight Republicans want to handle the stpte's calh and be treasurer. Not one of the entrants have a state wide acquaintance, S. E. Forney, .Do­ ver, and Bert Buckley, Dayton, are the Only two that have hebn mention™ ed-in the first-division- class1. For Attorney General there ate four and but one is known to have any particular standing with the bar in Ohio. Head and shoulders over the list is Edward C. Turner, Columbus, Who some years ago, served in that same capacity with distinction to the state and great credit to-himself. The present standing of the attorney gen­ eral's office is anything hut a credit to the Ohio bar, let alone the state.. The second in this lis t is Clint Boyd, Mddletown. For United States Senator is Frank B. Willfe? who seeks a second term* Charles Dick, Akron, former United States Senator comes next. In this Section C.' Q. Hildebrant will be re* membered. We cannot place the other four. . Chief Justice Cardington T, Marshall has no opposition on the Republican side, Thomas A. Jones and Edward S. -Matthias seek another term, Frank W. Geiger, Springfield, who lost by only a few votes two years ago is also entered, . « • V Last day entrants in the county put some new names in the list especially fo r treasurer, sheriff and recorder. These three- places promises a hot contest. Five are out for treasurer; Miss Helen Dodds, who has been a deputy in the* office for several years; Mortis Sharp, present sheriff; Jos. T. Hutchison, I.. F. Clevenger and J . F. Shoemaker. There are four entrants for sheriff. Ohmer Tate, Whom the bosses tried to keep off to protect Deputy John Baughn, Harry R. Cramer and J . L< Hupmatt. There has not been a campaign In twenty years in Greene Red Grange's ‘Y es” Gal.

Around Xenia there [seems to be but one topic and Tate takes the lead from the sta rt as the favorite. The opposition him befin taken off its feet by surprise. Three candidates are in the field for recorder. B. F. Thomas, present recorder who has served many, years; Forest G. Hurley, former deputy; ft.. O. Gopsey, a justice of peace in Xenia city. - The only other contest for a county office is for'auditor, ft. 0 . Weed for another term and George H. Eck- eiie.

The bills were provided by the Klah and were the endorse Went of candidates th a t belonged to ,the hooded order.' There was some re­ action about Xenia over this manner o f spreading such news and two of the candidates whose names were oil the bills resented such action and publicly made denial Having any connection with the Kian. Thi* was embarrassing to Klan members. The show-down came and members of the order admitted th a t the candi dates were members. Two of the can didates entered for county offices had jtheir names on the bills taro years -ago, The time is coming again for it [decision. Will these members pub jlicly renounce their membership in ?the order this year? An interesting 'feature will be to know what the Klan thinks of such acts of treachery. 1 ' • e m • At the coining primary election the every property owner la to be con- ■ fronted with another change in the MAYOR’S PROCLAMATION The celebration of the 15pth anniversary of our National In­ dependence should be a n u tte r of outstanding Importance.

CEL PI GEN If Every Woman Knew What Every Widow Ikarris, Every Husband Would ■§ Be Insured With Our Accident Policy; [O, FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 1926 PRICE, $1.50 A YEAR constitution. This time the property owners of every town, city or even the farmer had better be. op his guard, This amendnient was pushed into and through the legislature a t its last session by the political bosses from the big cities. I t reads a t follows: “Section 11, Any municipjaity acquiring property by purchase o r appropriation for a public im­ provement may provide money therefore, in whole dr in art, by assessments Upon property ben­ efited by the improvement wheth­ er abutting; adjacent or otherwise located Such, assessments shall . in no case exceed special benefits conferred thereby, Under the present law no village ox- city. council may place an assessment to exceed 50 per cent of the value of the .property, against anyone proper­ ly. With the adoption of this amend­ ment, the sky will be . the limit. 'The precedent once established and bow easy i t will be to widen our highways and assess all the costs on abutting property or land owners, a s'the case would be. Who is to decide to benefits derived? The only limitation is that “such assessments shall in no case exceed the special benefits conferred thereby.” Fine proposition is it not. What is the incentive for a man to own property on an important street or a highway in the country? The last legislature broke aft records for tom-foolery, and this proposal is one of the acts, ju st such as you might expest fromjJJpbby T a f ta n d th a '-cinnati crowd of high binders that had control of the law making fac­ tory. - •- Editor Charles Knight of the Ak- Von Beacon Journal and Springfield Sun takes a mighty wallop a t that kind of legislation, and those who were responsible for it. Charley says: “Keeper they are a t it again! We mean that the inmates of office are on another raid against the sub­ stance of the people. The present legislature like old King -Cole, is a merry old soul. Between its arduous labor of shooting craps, drinking synthetic gin and passing great moral and uplift measures, it now and then makes a gesture a t relieving the tax­ payer, -We mean, of course, relieving him of a little more -of that now left him hy«a paternalistic state, which to prevent spending Ms substance in riotous living prefers to spend it for him.” • * « “The thing of course, is just one more step of the government which is always to bring person and prop­ erty more completely under its un­ restrained power. Of course the con­ test is hopeless. ( In time the govern­ ment will win, for officialdom is or­ ganized and always on the job, while the people are always unorganized and asleep a t the switch. The most that we can hope is to retard this ad­ vance and minimize its evils, and a step in the right direction will have been taken i f the people go to the polls in August and smash this pro­ posal.

McClellan, of Clifton, who died in 1912, has been admitted to probate by Judge S. C. Wright.

Sunday, June 20 is "Father’s Day.” The head of the house long ago con­ cluded that he had about seven days a week.' The first of each month he had the gas, light, grocery, phone, rent and other bills that were present­ ed him. This took about every day that week. His second week was about the yard, the garden and shrubbery during the summer and cleaning snow from the walks in the winter. The third week as ..“Father” must recko time requires chores about the house, especially a t house-cleaning time. The fourth week he was lucky if he could get a day for fishing, golf, or a day to himself. The neckwear manufacturers inau­ gu rated a day for “Father” to be known as his day. Then the cigar interests took the idea that father could be remembered with abox of cigars. And father is never forgotten He must provide the coin of the realm for the family to remember him on “Father’s Day’VWith all that Father must submit he gets along and is contented if he is even able, to provide for the comforts of his family and his home—-though a t in­ tervals the burden may seem a rather heavy one.
