CEDARVILLE, OHjfO, FRIDAY , SEPTEMBER 3,1926 PRICE, $1,50 A YEAR PROHIBITION LEAD­ ERS PILE NAMES FOR BALLOT Forty-seven Prohibitionists in the county want a ticket on the ballot at the November election. These forty-seven have no interest i county affairs only for state rep- esentative, sheriff, auditor, commis­ sioner and treasurer, The forty-seven did not find it nec­ essary to have candidates for State Senator, Prosecuting Attorney or fo r Recorder, George J, Graham, Xenia, is the candidate for state representative. J. A. Hamer, Spring Valley, has his name on the petition for sheriff, Mrs. Clara N. Wildman, Cedarville, is listed' fo r County Auditor. George H. Creswell, Cedarville, for Commissioner, .• Clayton McMillan, Cedarville, is on the list for Treasurer. , Cedarville has the honor o f having three o f the places. How are these names to be put on the ballot ? There is no political party known as the .Prohibition pasty. The party has failed to muster the requir­ ed number o f voters and h»3 np place under the law. The additional cost to the county to .put this ticket on the ballot would be propably more than the number of yotes it will gpt at $1,00 each. The Secretary o f State being head of- the election machinery o f .the state must pass on the legality o f the prop­ osition, in view o f the fact that Ohio has no: legalized Prohibition party.
