" At the opening of the case the Sen­ ator ( ? ) moved that the affiadivitbe dismissed and argued the motion* The Prosecutor made no plea for the state or even objected to such a motion and the Court dismissed the affidavit. The Prosecutor exhibited some nervous­ ness; was a little shakey, much like a mail-order chair. His situation was .like the little three year old boy who would not say his verse before com­ pany, the “ cat evidently had his tongue.” It was unfortunate for Raters that he should be compelled to pay a*fine for a like offense that Hickman was cleared o f but Peters evidently did not have the proper political Support. Violators of the liquor Jaws in This country con feel a little safer in the future by employing the law firm of Marshall and Marshall to defend them. Those who in the past have been saying harsh things about Attorney Frank L.

Petitions were presented for extend­ ing municipal sewers from the b/idge to the end of north Main street and on East Xenia avenue. The original district was from the, bridge to the railroad and from Main on Xenia ave­ nue to the paper mill.

The gathering was headed by Congress­ man Charles Brand, who had assayed the role in Congress as the official “axe” man to >behead the Hoover presidential boom. In the Springfield- meeting were the Pemberton, Daugh­ erty, and other political followers of the old school that believed in the spoils system of government. But two years is a’ long time in politics and it has been for Brand. The meeting last’ Friday was ostensibly fo|r. the purpose of "making* certain, endorsements but it had not been an­ nounced previous, in the newspapers and those attending did so on invita*1 tion. Block Ready for Brand Instead of being head of the move­ ment for endorsements, the meeting’ really was much on the Klqn order, and it was deliberately planned to then and there behead Brand’s aspira­ tions for another term in Washington. Friends of two years ago were one and all ready to wield the axe. Charley’s duties kept him in Washington hut he was: not wanted at the gathering for D. C. Pemberton, Columbus, form­ erly lobbyist for Cincinnati ljquor interests, was “ charge de affairs.” Pemberton is nourishing a .congress­ ional boom just at present fo r his bosom friend, one time Senator (? ) T. Marshall. “D” is recognized as one of the inside lobby leaders about the Ohio legislature and is now stand­ ing loyally by one who stood for his pet measures in the legislature. Read­ ers wilt -recall the Herald’s exposure a few years ago of the liquor party in Columbus given by Pemberton with Marshall as one of .the honored guests. Sherman - Deaton, , Urbana, was chairman of the Springfield meeting and a .number of speakers were im­ ported, .from Columbus. The Cooper administration was given a rounding reception and endorsement. Rostoe McCulloch, for Senator, Clarence Brown for lieutenant governor, were all ’endorsed.' The word had been given' out that morning that no endorsement would be made as to congress. Brand wants another term, ahd Pemberton would make Marshall his successor* Friends of Probate Judge Harry Gram, Spring-. field, have suggested his name but he has not publically announced, although some are saying he must be consider­ ed. The inside work for the Marshall campaign was being taken care of in a prominent hotel on the ‘sixth floor. Visitors that could be trusted were in­ vited to’ go to another floor to room having the numerals “ 027” . Here hospitality was extended as would be expected in a gathering o f old-time politicians., Mr. Volstead or Hoovers “ Crime Commission” could get in-* formation from the Friday gathering that would make Interesting reading. In the meeting proper everything was carried out to perfection, every detail having been previously attend­ ed to. Each speaker knew when to Council accepted the proposition feel* iiig local property owners are under great obligation to the company for such a liberal offer. K ing W inter Follows Many Days o f Rain This section of Ohio has had an un* usual amount of rainfall the past two months but things tightened up Fri­ day for a sudden drop in temperature, the mercury in some places going to fifteen below. A slight snow preced­ ed which was welcomed as a protec­ tion to wheat. During the warm rains Wheat and grass brightened up as if spring was arqund the corner. Dr. M.

' All of these counties are overdrawn according to reports. A total of 268 claims pending from these counti s are now held up.

It had not been intended to endorse either Hoover or Senator Fess. Such endorsement was rushed through and in an instant Core Ire­ land, Urbana, moved adjournment for fear some other break in arrange­ ments' would develop. Some faces were pale, some drawn, a few. snick­ ered and the Seventh District gang disbursed. Raking up the leaves it was found Charley Brand Was to be sidetracked. Pemberton failed to sell his candidate as the stock market for congressional aspirants is slow. Mel Daugtherty leans to Brand as the best bet while part of his delegation |showed signs of Pemberton influence. Enroute B, & O. Limited Jud« e Gram came out of the game the season. In the .second encounter Cedarville’a sextet won 27-10. Ross boys were twice victorious over Cedarville last season.-The scores being 29-26. for the first game and 26- 20 for the second. The strong Cedarville quintet is determined to avenge the defeats of last year with victories over the fast Ross teams. ‘ The game will be called at 7:30, and two officials are being sent by the state Athletic Commissioner to act as umpire and referee.
