What voter in Ohio can recall a pure wet and dry contest that both Senators S» D, Foss and Frank B, WilJis did not haye a part? Both of . these, senators have always cam­ paigned for the dry cause, Who is there that can point to these same senators as campaign** ing over the state forthe justice of peace graft bill? These men realize the bill is a makeshift measure t o , nullify the recent . decision of the Ignited States Supreme Court. Both being versed in legislative matters they do not care to risk their reputation in going before the public and at­ tempting to leave the impression that the bill is something which it is not,' ■ . ; . We might also call your atten­ tion to the fact that James A. White, former superintendent of the Ohio Anti Saloon League has not been found traveling over Ohio in behaif of the justice bill Why not? The Hon, Charles Brand, Con­ gressman from this the Seventh District, a strong supporter of pro­ hibition in and out of congress, is another legislator that has not been heard on the stump or off oh a bill that has a direct bearing on a U, S. Supreme Court decision. Is it possible the Anti Saldpn League has the * congressman listed as a wet? The present bill was opposed by jthe late Wayne B. Whetler but the League does not tell you that. In. his.pleading before the United States Supreme Court* Mr. Wheel­ er endeavored to uphold the law that was held, invalid later. Mir. Wheeler is. quoted, from ; . his brief on file in the Court as follows': ' .* “ If mayors (or justices) are guaranteed their post* without re­ gard to the outcome, of the case, this would not reduce the chances of unwarranted arrests.1' It.might result in more arrests, and i f may­ ors (or justices) were inclined to " be corrupt, they wohld get their costs .from the state or county and connive with the jawbeaked in giv- an acquital” " EASYWINNER OVERANTIOCH The Christian Church of SoutirSol on will hold a community sale Nov. 12 1 after their marriage and when in that place to raise funds to pay off Ivisited her to learn the reason for the church debt!

The game was one at the best of the season and the large delegation that went along were Well repaid for the trip, Gov. Donahey Against c Justice Fee B ill The Anti Saloon League Wednes­ day sent out a statement that Gov. Donahey favored the Marshall bill Thursday the Governor issued a state­ ment that he favors it no more now than last spring when he refused to sign the measure, The League should send out the en­ dorsement of the measure by the Klan There would be no denial of such ac­ tion. The Klan wants the measure for its Klan justices and constables* {some of which are located in this jemmty. Vote) But don’t be Voted. Gn W ritten Names The Ohio Supreme Court has just handed dawn a very important ruling governing the counting of ballots in elections.' For, year* past where a name was written onJhe ballot it was necessary for the voter to place art'X’ may be conflicting. The decision su­ percedes the election law. This rule settles all contests in the future and Will be a-guide for judges at the polls, even though the statutes may be conflicting. The decision sup- erceeds the election law. The case decided was frqm Mont­ gomery county Where a / Common Pleas court held that the “X” was not necessary Where the voter wrote in a CAMPAIGNSFOR JUSTICEBILL One utility lobbyist recently took bn an over supply of liquor and while in Wilmington began to campaign for the justice of peace graft bill Being a leader in the “ third house”, the lob­ by organisation, it was up to the for­ mer lobbyist for the liquor interests, to set things right in his home county, .To-advocate a “prohibition cause” the lobbyist first tanked up and started name* as the mere fact that the name out to turn over the town. was writtenin was proof of the intent of the voter. KLANMAKESNEW ATTACKONBOARD The Klan wai opt again Thursday night: distributing campaign literature in the interest of the Klan slate for Members of the County School Board. Renewed attacks ate made on mem­ bers Hastings, Rife, Bales, Fisher, Bryson, the whole family, sons, bro­ thers, as well as William Anderson; president of the Farm Bureau. Only one name was omitted. That of Horace Anderson. The circular does not take into consideration that this Kiansman is a member >of the Xenia township Board running for re-elec­ tion. The attitude of the Herald disturbs the Kluxers, It may yet disturb fh>m more. Super government in Greene county where trades have been made with reform politicians to , get the Klan vote even on the justice salary bill The literature is edited from the Allen building, Xenia* printed out of the county and approved by the, famous "reform brothers'*, that are using the pulpits of the county to cov­ er up their connection with the night riders. The next Issue of the New Jasper Gazette should tell the public about what the MarshalvKlux reformers have, been doing for the cause. The friends o f the County Board mem­ bers would like to hear about them and what all this rush of Klan mem­ bers to the house of Marshall means, Get one of the yellow circulars and read it .. Let your answer be recorded at the polls Tuesday. A Vote for Rife and Bade# and “NO” on the Marshall bill will answer everything. Finding some opposition from auto owners to the proposed graft bill, the lobbyist in his frenzied state of mind, boasted that he controlled the county and would carry it for the “prohibi­ tion cause” even if they bad to steal the election. This enraged the auto owners and sent dyed in the wool pro­ hibitionists under cover, until they could transport the lobbyist back to his home in Columbus. ’ , The Automobile Clubs have taken the matter up and have endeavored to get Sen. (? ) Marshall, to express himself on the episode—but nothing doing, Last December we wrote the Anti Saloon League in. reference to the utility"liquor party given at the Desh- ler hotel for Senator Marshall and his friends! Our interest was in behalf of Sen, Kumler of Preble county as Speaker pro-tern, The League was sup posed^to back a dry candidate but in­ stead double-crossed Kumler and a Cleveland liberal received all but eight votes* in eluding that of - Sen.. Mar­ shal. Sen. Kumler is prominent in the’ Luthem church. This denomination has not endorsed the graft bill nor is Sen. Kumler Campaigning for it, We might say farther that the An­ ti Saloon League has not yet answer­ ed our letter, which was written near­ ly a year ago.. ate Mr..wneeier diaa Columbus headquarters and oppos­ ed the bill in the present form.^§Ie at that time forsaw just what toe automobile dubs are contending to­ day that the motorists of Ohio, by , the aid o f the justice of peace bill' would be the goat. But the Anti’! Saloon League does not mention ; the position of their former illus­ trious chief in this contest! •The U, S. Court put the grafting justice of peace out of business and is not now attempting to hold up motorists to get the fees. The An­ ti Saloon League does not tell the . owners of motor vehicles that such is the case. John R. Holcomb of “ Franklin county has appealed to Nall the justices of peace in Ohio to lend support fo the bill that they can again be legalized and put in position to continue the harvest at the expense of the motorists of the state. Every motorist owes it to him­ self to go to the polls Tuesday and vote against this bill which former followers of the Aonti Saloon League have not championed. For Rent—70 acre farm.
