Farster, will be of in­ terest! „ ■ COLUMBUS, Oi, January 23—Sen­ ator Frank B, Willis and the Anti Saloon League forces appear to be ready ( to bear down on Senator Simeon D. Fess for the unforgivable act of refusing to take th e . Willis Presidential candidacy seriously. Information here is that the senior senator’s friends are attempting to induen one of several prominent dry! to oppose Fess in the* primary elec­ tion Among those named is Chief Justice ' C. T. Marshall, The chief justice said today that he was con­ sidering the advisability of entering! the fight against Fess, and that many of' his staunch friends were .urging him to enter, "He has Reached no de­ cision. • * » It seems kuite apparent that Fess’ repent statement that he Would sup­ port W$ljis as .Ohio’s favorite son, and would even, go to the Republican convention as & delegate-at-large in Willis’s 'behalf, did--not 'temper his previous prediction that the “next President of the United States will be fiber Hoover or Dawes.” There'even is talk here that Willis’ friends might lend assistance to an independent candidate In, the election in case Fess is nominated. If this is true,, it is possible that the fight be­ tween Willis and Hoover might not hold its place on the political program as the “main go.” James Harrison Matthews, aged 03, one' of the . oldest citizens in this county, died Tuesday mornipg at his home in Xenia, -With the exception oi*tep years his entire, life was spent in Xenia, For 65 years' he has been Mason and was one of the oldest so far known- in .the state,.

WEADWINS RECOGNITIONFOR GRENECOUNTY ^ ■ ' sf" The Republican executive comnfifc- tee in the Seventh Congressional dis­ trict met Friday in Springfield to! select delegates in support of Senator Frank B.

The gathering was under the direc­ tion of Sherman Deaton, Urhana, Dis- : trict Committeeman, ably assisted by D. Pemberton, Columbus, former lobbyist for Cincinnati liquor inter* eBts, and now a utility lobbyist. The meeting was more or less har­ monious and yet there was more heat;! in the smouldering fire of district politics'than has been made public. At two different times during t-he, meeting it was necessary to throw water on the smouldering embers that promised to break into flames. There was a slate for delegates but there was no open opposition from that angle. When the method used to force it through, was more than Greene*^cc mty could stand, County Auditor R, O, Wead, who is also Chairman of the Executive committee in this county, Was on the floor and made a, speech, that made the remen- - ant organization of’Harry Daugherty wonder what it Was all about. , - Somebody took umbrage at what- Wead had said op the floor and this called' for a secoqd speech. ' Whep- the speaker had finished ho more question's were asked. Talking about Daugherty politics in a gathering-, that had many Daugherty sympa­ thizers provoked no argument. , I t had been proposed. to have a , committee of three to formulate res,o-, lutions endorsing Willis, and a few others, Mr, Wead-suggested a com­ mittee of nine, one"from each county, but this was voted down.

Livestock mar- keting was the subject of a lively discussion and the question of ser­ vice to members and non members was given Considerable attention, Some counties now refuse service to non members of the farm bureau, in the co-operative livestock mar­ keting, or if the service is allowed, take membership fee out of the pro­ ceeds from the first shipment, it was pointed out.
