For the past two years Harry has not control* J e d the Central Committeeman from his home district, At present Harry is under indictment in a. United States- Grand. Jury fo r alleged defrauding of the government. But politics will not suffer, Harry has his lieutenants in a year ago that Marshall and Schmidt were guests a t George Poor’* liquor party in the D*shl*r hotel In Colum­ bus. The only difference between the two then w*a tha t the party was in honor of Marshall who had voted to retain Poor on the Public Utility Com­ mission, and Schmidt wan a guest. The net result to Xenians is that the ■Bell Telephone Company, has since slapped an increased monthly rate on Xenia patrons. D, Pemberton was the door map a t that famous gathering where members of the Senate drank; good Havanna liquor and toaste<j. the hoste, Poor. To enliven the occasion drunks stood on the tables and sang 3mutty songs, one a burlesque on the rights of women and suffrage.

CpesweU,1 who is seeking his second term, is &politician of the old School. Deaton wants the old order of things restored. He likes politics as they played it when he was in the Ohio Senate. He wants the rule of the po­ litical boss. He is much dissatisfied with the way things are now handled. Deanton made quite a record When he represented his district. The Col­ umbus papers a t the time found much to soy about what transpired in “the good old days”. Marshall and Pem­ berton should have some of those ar­ ticles reproduced. By the v.-ay we be­ lieve the situation Warranted a car­ toon or two then.

All moruners over the fact that things have changed and that even the United States government should indict their friend, Hatry, for defraud ing the government as claimed. It is really pathetic that the old boodle typqof'politician must submit to the new order. * * * The cr.-rdf we noW on the table in the sheriff contest. H, E. Schmidt and L , T. Marshall, P. P* P.

The leaders of both political factions being, behind Bnughn has caused speculation iu both political camps. Some say th a t before August 10th all sight will be' lost of the other races, so warm will the cam­ paign for sheriff get. The American Lelgon is busy for Tate, The railroad employees are much interested even beyond what they have been in other campaigns. Young as well as old far­ mers, who have a personal acquain­ tance with Tate, are loud ih their praise and urge his nomination. In town he has especially one supporter that Is leaving no stone unturned to extol his virtues and advance his candidacy and that is “Tdri” Richards, “Tate for Sheriff?

The boodle element now thinks the pri- Yon may or may not have a personal ac­ quaintance with Mr. Ohmer Tate, the inde­ pendent candidate for sheriff a t the'primary on August 10th. While he was for many years a resident of this township he has been in the employee of the Pennsylvania railroad com- a number of years having his residence in Xenia. Mr. Tate resided with his upcle, the late William MeCampbell, while attending the public schools and Cedarville College. He is no stranger to hundreds of citizens in this section of the county, His life since leaving here has been as honest and upright as it was under the influence that the Christian home . where he was reared. The fact that leaders of both of the political factions in this county' endeavored to dis­ courage his entering for sheriff is positive proof that i f nominated he will be under no obligation to either faction bnd be forced to submit to the dictates, of politicians who use the office of sheriff for personal profit and ■ * ' ' / * . „ ’* Mr. Collins Williamson gives the Herald the following endorsement of Mr. Tate: “It is with a great deal -of satisfaction and , pleasure that J can recommend and endorse Mr. Tate as a worthy candidate for the nom­ ination lor sheriff. I. have had personal ac­ quaintance with Mr. Tate for 25 years and I personally know tha t he not only has the ability but tho courage and common honesty for a sincere and impartial administration of the duties of sheriff. His character is above reproach and he should he rewarded with a large vote a t the primary. I t is a distinct . pleasure to endorse him to all of the electors of the township and to Greene county at large.” DESTROYEDBY FIDEFRIDAY Fire destroyed a large bam and. all contents on the Thomas Andrew farm ’on the Federal pike last Friday morn- jing about five o'clock. As..there was considerable new hay in the bam it is accepted that the fire ^was from spontaneous combustion. . The fire, was discovered by Mrs, An­ drew just -as the family was arising. Before Mr, Andrew ewjd get to the barn the fir? had spread, so that he could not save even a strap of har­ ness. There was no live stock in the bam but considerable machinery and 54 fleeces of wool. • The bam was located across the road rfom. the house but a t no time jwas the home in danger, Mr. Andrew saya his insurance on the barn is about $1,500 with $500 on contents. It will cost probably $3,500 to rebuild, ’ the structure. Mr. Andrew says he will , rebuild just as soon as possible but tha t the next bam will be back from the road. W, L, Clemans carried the insurance loss. Otts-deteetiVe over in Springfield, The detective had a nose for running down criminals but lie had a better plan of obtaining all he could without paying fo r it. Be­ fore the Springfield merchants were wise to his plan he would purchase in large quantities and have the goods charged. Once delivered i t was hard to get the goods back and they never were paid for. A piano dealer had been a victim but he knew that his instrument could not-bo used for fuel or would likely be disposed of, Wheh the dealer visited the detective's home and naked to get his unpaid fo r in­ strument, he was permitted to enter but he soon found the piano had. been bolted to the floor. A Court test re ­ sulted in victory for the detective.. As these stories filter through the channels in the coming campaign in this county, We imagine It is going to be rather disappointing to one of the candidates for sheriff, I t is a safe state ridiculed the Marshall idea and ^ redictioa that not mah ^ c h ^ t a the legislature was affrmd to adt. wiU d,5play the Wnner o£ i m can­ didate.

He has had the honor of being Lieutenant Governor in 1918 and a- gain in 1920. While the Democrats elected their candidate fo r governor, Mr. Brown won .easily on the Repub- li >n ticket. Sir. Brown ha? had a legal education and training and the success of his publishing business, be­ ing the owner of five newspapers in Ohio, makes him the logical candidate for nomination as state secretary.
