Opposition was only picked against certain candidates on the Republican ticket. The candidates on the Prohi­ bition ticket made no campaign and we are informed'had no part in having the ticket in the field. Governor Vic Donahey, Democrat has had the honor of being elected for a third consecutive term, something no other candidate has ever done in the past half century in this state, t His election was made possible by the fact”th a t prohibition entered in the contest. Both Donahey and Myers Cooper, Republican, had the endorse­ ment of the AntiSaloon League. In Hamilton county Cooper lost to his opponent no doubt due to the activity, * ~ 1 ' • of the wets.

Thompson and Towrieley were the out-standing play­ ers in the game Saturday. Tomorrow Director Borst will match his team against division B team of Antioch. The former-Antioch game was a tie. Hallowe’en Celebrators Wire Public Square Hallowe'en pranks were not played Saturday night ns expected. The rain' kept the young folks from the streets and few knew that Hallowe'en was to be celebrated, Sometime after Monday midnight boys concluded to celebrate. Farm gates from C. N. Stuckey's were placed across the square. Boxes and other loose objects, including a manure spreader from the Farmers' Gyain Co. were placed in the square. A roll of barbed wire was used to wire off the intersecting streets so that no traffic was possible across the square. The wire was used in such a manner that. it*had to be cut loose. This one roll was damaged and Mr. Stuckey reports that another is also missing.

ROSS SCHOOLS LOOSE LEVY CLARK COUNTY FAIR DEBT TAX LEVY IS REJECTED Clark county has been faced With making good a debt created by the Clark County Fair Board. No fair was held this year and there is an unpaid mortgage On the fair grounds. I t was proposed to levy a special tax to lift the debt of $30,000 and have funds to improve the grounds. The voters in the city of Springfield turned down the request ns did the voters out over the county. A large negative vote was cast, in fact only a few precincts in the county gave the levy support. Ross township schools will have to do without a two mill levy following the vote Tuesday. The electors were asked to grant two mills additional but the proposition lost by six votes, BOND ISSUE FAILS The $60,000 bond issue for water­ works in Yellow Springs failed to carry a t the election Tuesday by a small vote. CHAMPAIGN REJECTS LEVY FOR FAIR BOARD DEBT Champaign county voters on Tues­ day failed to sympathize with the fair board in that county that was asking for a special tax levy to pay a buck debt.

BROWN. Clarence J. Brown, owner of a string of rural and county seat papers was elected Secretary of State Tuesday by about 190,000 majority over his Democratic opponent. Mr. Brown was lieutenant governor some year's ago his friends are gratified over his big vote. .He may have the lar­ gest vote of any state candidate on his ticket. Ized ■ it with alarm, ticisms.

Of course unto death, even the death of the cross the conflict was on, and continued “Wherefore God also. hath> highly till that question was settled once and exhalted Him, and given Him a name for all. which is above every name:, “That at NOTE THE PARALLEL the name of Jesus every knee.should, Godis kingdom is over a ll'' God has jbow, of things in heaven, and things exalted Christ to rule and reign as ’in earth, and things under the earth; iKing over all nations, our own inclttd- obey God' rather' than, man," There are obligations Godwnrd, which even the soldier is justified in maintaining, LIKEWISE circumstances must help believers in determining their use of the'ballot in connection with general elections. What is involved is to be considered. CHURCH AND STATE As the institution of the Church, the institution of the State is.Divine. They each come from God. They rep­ resent, in their respective spheres, God's thought as to what is essential in governing, reclaiming, and saving the lost world. God has exhalted His Son as Lord. Law-giver, and Judge in connection With each of these in­ stitutions. He has given his word as the expression of His will in regard to each. THUS, in God’s plan, all things Civil, as well as Spiritual are brought into harmony with Him. To this end we are taught to pray: “Thy kingdom come; thy will be done in earth, as i t is in Heaven,'' While sep­ arate and distinct, the institutions of Church apd State are alike from God. identification with each of these in­ stitutions, the Church and the State, (as provided by God,) is not only a Privilege but s Duty. Identification With the- Church is evidence of this. But, for some reason, it is not so cdmmonly recognized as a privilege and obligation to identify "with the institution of the State: Why this is, may be difficult to de­ termine in all cases. Certainly none forego the privilege of franchise out of unbelief in Civil government. .Cer­ tainly none should rorego the privi­ lege of franchise because of careless­ ness and indifference. When consti­ tuted in the recognition of their Di­ vine character ha coming from God; in recognition tha t they are each un­ der the supervision and control of Christ by the appointment of God; that He directs in the affairs of both Church and State according to His will revealed in His word; identifica­ tion should be regarded as an obliga­ tion. Out of ioyalty to 'God and H1 b Son, and His cause by means of these Insti tutions, all should seek cooperation with God in the accomplishment of His purposes through them. While alt th a t is true, there ore circumstances under which believer# regard it as im­ portant and essential to forego the Privilege of Franchise; * First: When it requires sllegtypce to another supremacy than Christ “Doc" McMillan, London, famous as a horse trainer and driver, last week purchased a two year old colt by Bra­ den Direct that had been raised by the late Reed Owens. The purchase price was around $250. The colt is well bred and is a promising young-; ster. RELIEF FOR FARMERS Senator S. D. Fess in an address in Xenia Monday night a t what was the closing campaign speech In the county suggested that the farmers have a co­ operative buying commission, which he said would protect the interest of farmers. Dr. W. R, McChesney made a short speech afc<b introdtttjfd Dr. 4i“r ^ V V v* ^ xCW ^ 1 .v«f.*«#., ,. fytiL 1911^1^^ 'for\y»iiir dahbMj,’ f ' i< ,(1 (ftp ) 4od (ttt ybur repairs for stoves and- be “And that every tongue should con­ fess that Jesus .Christ is LORD, to the glory of God the Father,”; (Phili- ppians, 2:8-11.) Now, there are two facts which will scarcely bo called m question; First? As a nation, we have con­ stituted, a form of government Virtue)), fails to recognize and Accept Christ in His supremacy. According to our Federal Constitution, “We the people of the United States,------do nrdain and establish this Constitution of the United States of America." That might, occording to accepted form, be regarded as right. But, A rt .VI, Sec. II reads; This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United Status, Shall be the Supreme Law of the Land; and ..the .judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any thing in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwith­ standing," Sec. I ll continues: “The Senators and Representatives before mention­ ed, and the members of the several Legislatures, and all executives and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution.” THUS we have established a form of government which ignores the Christ as the supreme Ruler; and we have prepared and established a writ­ ten Constitution to which all must sustain sworn allegiance In exercising the privilege of franchise In connec­ tion with general elections, All officials of State, whether leg­ islative, executive, or judicial are sworn to such Human supremacy; and all voting sworn relation with this form of government. Back in the days of slavery, and in connection with the Abolition movement, men of National renown such as William Lloyd Garrison, and Wendal Phillips, took the position that they could not, and would hot aland responsible for a Pro-Slovcry Constitution. For that reason all such refused the privilege of franchise. If it was reasonable to forego the privilege of franchise for the sake of Human rights, the rights of those in bondage, How Much More is it to be regarded as reasonable to forego the privilege of franchise out of regard for Christ who has redeem­ ed this world with his own hloodl When the use of the franchise invol­ ves His Crown-rights ns “King o£| kings and Lord of lords, “and as “Gov emor among the nations." What was the occasion of the great Civil war in our land? and why was it so prolong­ ed? It was occasioned by certain states seceding, and, setting up the govern­ ment of the Confederacy; and because of their dcterminatScta. By official Washington, flicir act wa3 .regarded •asvtehelllon*.1and j(.reate<l, jiaeh* f ed. He calls upon individuals and na­ tions to recognize and honour Him as King. Christ claims such recogni­ tion as King: ‘By ME kings reign, and princes decree justice^; by ME princes rule, and nobles, even a ll the judges, of the earth." His domain, is World- have done, just what the people, the South did. We,have set up a gov­ ernment, which, takes not thie least recognition of the Divine government as supreme. We have established a supreme law to which we have bound ourselves with solemn Oath as that according to which we shall be gov­ erned in every department of Civil life.. Every Foreigner, seeking the privilege of naturalization is requir­ ed to subscribe to this Institution of rebellion against God and His govern­ ment in. Christ. Out of loyalty to Christ, and His law as supreme, be­ lievers forego the privilege of fran­ chise when such conditions are im­ posed. In view of just such circum­ stances, God counsels His people, say­ ing: “Come out from among them, and be ye separate,------and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.” Whatever comes, BELIEVERS want to be right with God. Not be­ cause of unbelief in Civil government but, because of belief ir» Divinely constituted Civil government, Not because of indifference and unconcern in things pertaining to the Civil life; but, because of truest loyalty as the subjects of Christ, as the Civil Ruler of this world, as truly as it’s 'Spirit­ ual Ruler. Believers forego the priv­ ilege of franchise in connection with general elections in this land.
