VATER MAINS SEINE LAID History was rewritten last Friday when the Daugherty-Pemberton fo l­ lowers in this Seventh Congressional District gathered in Springfield to en­ dorse Charley Brand, who only a few weeks previous had been a mark for slaughter by this band of gang poli­ ticians, Between the two events some­ thing happened. Evidently a lot of men that said nasty things about Charley found cause to repent and; come to his aid. A t the former meeting Mai Daugh­ erty, Washington C. H., banker, whose bank was under investigation by a Senate Committee during the Coolidge administration, following the demand for the resignation of Harry- Daugher­ ty •as .Attorney General, stood by Brand. During the exposure o f the Harry Daugherty regime, the escu- pades o f gambling and booze in the little, green house on “ K” street, Washington, D. C,, the Roxie Stinson charges and the Jesse Smith connec­ tion with government affairs, along With the “ Ohio Gang” that wrecked the Harding administration; all passed the notice of Congressman Brand, who stood by Daugherty on his record, :iClean as a Hound’s Tooth.” It was the first opportunity the, Daugherty brothers had o f repaying the Seventh District gravel road Congressman for his loyalty to their cause. - A t a former gathering in Spring- field when Brand was marked fo r slaughter the ^ahg gathered at the leading hotel in the city and L. T. liquor in abundance for all who want­ ed it and most o f .those interested found the oasis a real haven. No effort was made to conceal it and everyone was invited to Room No, 208. Not a government, state or county bfficial took notice of the liquor party. Political gatherings like that never ligh School Girl Hilled In Auto Virginia Cross, 18, Xenia, died from njUfles received when the car in vhich she was riding with two girls and two boys, crashed into a concrete abuttment on the Springfield and Xenia like, last Thursday night.

Robe and Wings for Charley The whole force,'of the resolution writer was driven in behalf o f Daugh­ erty's congressman. Brand was re­ ferred to as the bulwark o f party reg­ ularity. Independent in thought and action. His integrity and energy only matched 'by his high devotion to Re­ publican ideals. (Hoover, Fess and Brown again take notice to the Daugherty challenge). Attorney Arthur Todd, Springfield, a spectator in the meeting, feeling that his early Republican training had hot been on the lines o f the' steam roll­ er method, could no longer refrain from keeping -his seat and took the floor. He asked fo r permission to make a few remarks but Deaton in­ terrupted,-and asked if he was speak- ng as a member o f the committee, “ No, but I would speak as a matter of privilege,” Mr, Todd replied. Pemberton, knowing how the liquor crowd in the days gone by flattened out those who favored prohibition, , proposed a vote be taken as to wheth­ er Mr. Todd should he allowed to. • speak. The gang voted “No” . Daugh-. erty, not recognizing Todd, slipped over to Tipton to inquire who the rude stranger and eavjp-dropper. might be. No English "Torries” could, be. per­ mitted in a Brand meeting. Deaton, who presided at a famous out-door speech-making eVent nearly two years ago, between Cedarville and Clifton, which has not yet“ been fo jr *gWfteu? “teVriltS'"’RepiSBlfcanism ’ loose- and Todd again took the floor. Daugherty angered to the bone stated he must not argue fo r fear he might say something he would later regret. Todd continued to exhort those who had supported the resolution on Brand: “ Brand has no record o*f which you can boast. He has done nothing for his district or his party and by have reason to complain o f the quality for it was Canada’s best. Ohio’s com j your actions you are going, to alienate liquor, gin, hootch and ginger are f o r ‘ the huge mass o f Republican voters nigger's and poor white trash,” as for the days o f the steam roller are dry-wet politicians term it. j gone and you are paving the way for -Brand has made so much money the. a Democratic substitution in the rep- past few years, as a farmer, that he resentation o f the Seventh District in yas recently able to purchase a 350 acre farm with a twenty room brick mansion on.it. In addition he promises more extensive improvements to con­ vert it into a summer home. . And yet farmers in other counties' in the dis­ trict have failed to enjoy this pros­ perity and find profit enough for a liv­ ing, let alone pay their taxes. This brand of prosperity, evidently con­ vinced the politicians they had made a mistake in first backing Marshall. Politicians believe in prosperity and would naturally be attracted to Brand who might some time entertain them on his recently acquired “Villa.” The Friday meeting opened with Sherman Deaton/- Urbana, presiding. Di C. Pemberton, Columbus and Clin­ ton County, former lobbyist for Cin­ cinnati liquor interests, moved the honor of secretary go to Forest F. Tipton, fellow citizen of Daugherty in Washington C. H. A fake move was next made in naming a resolution committee, one from each o f the nine counties, to bring in the sterotyped resolutions that had been carried around by Pemberton the week pre vious. Marshall represented Greene County and had the pleasure o f hear­ ing his own obituary read fo r the first He voted “No” on roll call bat bus, and three brothers at liomd and to operate the year rouh'd and about fa tty E.

Galfoway, Greene County Historian, wds in town Wednesday checking Up on the various water power wills of days gone by that had been located on Massien Creek. When one considers the number that have been operated in the past, only one can be found today and that is the old Charltoh mill hack of East Point school house, The last to disappear locally was the old flour will that was wrecked last summer by The Hagar Straw Board A Paper Company. Starting at Cemetery Road and going up stream we find the following water power mills to have passed into history, Tarbox mill, Nichols saw mill on the paper mill farm; flour mill, W. M. Barber sifw mill, at the rear of the Herald office; Beemet- saw mill on the E, G. Lowry lot; flax mill and Booth saw mill near south fork of Massies creek, Dr. Galloway is connecting up past history o f the Little Miami river and tributaries in Greene County and finds 66 different mills o f various kinds and distilleries have been located in the county in the past, all operated by water .power, such formality in a committee never was even reported on the floor of the gang gathering. Having sat many times in the past in such gatherings with Pemberton and Daugherty When the road roller Was oiled for flattening out some individual's political aspita tions, Marshall found what ho had ai ways supposed were his friends and whom he served as messenger boy in the Ohio Senate, to be his enemies. Mai Daugherty was the trusted in­ dividual to do the dirty work and he was promptly named chairman o f the resolution committee and read the re suits* that were to be broadcasted to President Hoover, Walter Brown, Postmaster General, and Senator Fess, that they could not down gravel-road Charley Brand in the Seventh District. The Ohio gang was again in action and the administration could take notice. To give semblance to respect­ ability the gang passed resolutions en dorsing Ross Ake, for state treasurer; Justices Reynolds and Kinkaid for Supreme Court; Joseph Tracy for Gongress. You say you are not en­ dorsing Brand but his 'record’.” “ What is that record? Are you en­ dorsing his attack on Herbert Hoover, as an Englishman and a Wet?” “ Are you endorsing his record for ^ his pound loaf* o f bread -which has raised the price of bread to- every con­ sumer?” “ Are you endorsing, his attack on the late lamented Senator Theodore Burton?” “Are you endorsing his stand on in­ surance?” “ You certainly are not endorsing his road building program!” Greene, Clark, Union and repre­ sentatives of other counties, along with by-standers roundly applauded Mr. Todd. Daugherty again took the floor to speak for Brand. He admitted Brand was a good Republican and had co­ operated with him and his organiza­ tion in his county. . With the congressional squabble out o f the way the next big task was pass­ ing a resolution endorsing Charles J. Waggoner of . Lebanon fo r United States Marshal. The Daugherty gang again sailed into Walter F. Brown, postmaster general, who had been supporting P. H» Cteswell fo r this post. The big problem before the Daugh­ erty followers was who Was to talk and who not. Objection was made to Mr. Todd in that he Was not a legal representative o f any county commit­ tee. Neither was Daugherty a mem­ ber o f any Fayette county committee and Pemberton did not Oven reside In the Seventh District, being a voter in Columbus. The Kack-wash o f the whole fracus will prove o f little interest to the Re­ publicans o f the -district, Every voter knows the Daugherty record. . The .whole movement is a method to get a pipe-line into the prohibition enforce* ment department. EXECUTOR APPOINTED State Treasurer, although he is nowlpralmers. Joseph H.
