Marshall, candidate fo r congress on the Republican ticket from the Seventh District, is having his troubles these days explaining, or declining to give his position on the wet and dry issue under the party platform. In the wet centers during the primary, he had wet support, and dry in the dry sections. He still has the same policy but refuses to make it public, in view o f the fact that the combined vote o f his two opponents, ohe his own stocking-horse, was greater than his vote. This leaves him a tight place with the wet and dry issue so promi­ nent in the coming election. The follow ing is from the Spring- field News-Sun; , * ... “ L. T. Marshall o f Xema, Republican candidate for. con­ gressman from *he seventh district, refused Saturday to state his position with respect to the party platform adopted recently at the national convention in Chicago. Mr. Marshall was asked his opinion o f the platform and whether he intends to abide by it in his campaign this fa ll, . ■1 consider the Republican platform better than the Demo­ cratic platform,” Mr. Marshall said, and added that he had no further statement to make at'this time, ‘ “ Asked i f he intends to accept the platform, Mr. Marshal) replied: “ W hy do you risk me such a. question? I have been ac­ tive in Republican politics fo r 50 years. “ The question.was asked because you have always been understood to be a “ dry” Republican” jhe was told. . “ I have nothing further to say, at this time, but may make a statement later,” he replied. Had the late H. E. Schmidt, or Judge Marcus IShoup taken even the position Marshall assumes today, they would have been labeled wet, that Marshall could continue his campaign as a boss in the interest o f the dry cause. Now that beer is just around the corner, according to the signs observed by politi­ cians, Marshall »s paving the way to come in the open with his co-worker in the vineyard, D.

This is the first bank fail­ ure in the history o f Ross county, ac­ cording to-reports. The Commercial and Savings Bank. Springfield, Robert Felty, president, closed at noon Wednesday and has been taken over by the State Banking Department. The bank was organiz­ ed following the failure a few years ago of the Springfield National. The failure was due to misapplication o f funds by the Cashier Penfield, who lost hundreds o f thousands in a buck­ et-shop gambling house in that city, Th* ntteer o f Die bucket-shop recently was found short in his Waif Street operations * and committed suicide. Harlan S. West, conected with anoth­ er Springfield institution, has since committed suicide and he had lost heayily in the bucket-shop. The Commercial Bank. of Frank­ fort, Ross county, was taken over for liquidation Thursday by the State Banking Department at the request o f the Board of Directors. Continued withdrawals and the general agricul­ tural condition are blamed for the closing of the bank, This is the second Ross county bank to close this week. FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Dwight R.

TEN TIMES BIGGEST CIRCUS COMING TO DAYTON, JULY 20 The Ohio Farm Bureau Federation has requested Governor George White i o declare a moratorium, or have the legislature act on it, for delinquent taxes due from farm and home own* ers. The committee, claiming to repre­ sent organized agriculture o f the of the state, demanded “ amendments to Ohio’s delinquent tax laws as will provide an adequate opportunity for the farm and home owners to retain their property." They demanded that the governor include their proposal in his call for another special session of the Gener­ al Assembly, scheduled to be conven­ ed in September to consider legisla- ( tion reducing salaries o f state and county officials and employees. The amendment provides that when taxes are delinquent, the county treaa urer, instead of foreclosing, may is­ sue a tax'certificate for the amount of the unpaid taxes. This certificate /will he negotiable and non-taxable and mhy.be purchas­ ed by anyone and constitutes an 8 per,; cent tax-free security. It would be a first lein on the farm, taking prece­ dence over mortgages, A t any time in the future when the property owner has the’money, he may lift the lien by taking up the certificates upon pay­ ment o f their face value plus 8 per cent. The proposal will also he submitted to the Republican and Democratic state conventions, for consideration in the framing of the parties’ state plat­ forms.
