WETCANDIDATEFORCONGRESS SPEAKSFORHOOVER-MARSHALL George H. Bender, Republican candidate „for Con- gressman-at-Large, Cleveland, spoke Thursday afternpoh late from an automobile .with amplification system that ighowned by the Republican National Committee, , ' 'The bus was attractive and decorated for Hoover and Curtis and Bender appealed for support o f Hoover to in- (surelprosperity, He also urged the election of the entire Republican state ticket, including district congressman, L. T. Marshall, his old political foe while both served in the state legislature. Bender advertises himself as the man that stopped the raiding of homes under the prohibition law. He re­ gards himself as the foe of the Anti Saloon League and is so regarded by the League management. Probably a dozen boys and men heard his speech and it Was very notifiable the lacking-of county and local Republican leaders to greet him here. . This week the Anti Saloon League marks. Bender as “ Not satisfactory” ; Marshall, ^Satisfactory,” The As­ sociation Opposed to Prohibition sends out literature sup­ porting Bender as classed for repeal, and Marshall as pledged to support resubmission. Should Bender and Marshall both be, successful in being elected to Congress it will be interesting to see how the two will perform, in view o f past performances. With Marshall speaking for the Republican nominees, includ­ ing Bender for Congressman-at-Large, it is nothing more than Bender should appear here to stand for Marshall, The fighting between the two will start ohee they are seated in.

Finney, Xenia, Ohio: ’ INGALLSSHOULD HAVESUPPORT OFALLGREENE COUNTYVOTERS In. our opinion there is the very best reason why David S. Ingalls, the Republican nominee, should receive the support o f every fair-minded cit­ izen in this county, party lines to be thrown to the wihdt With condition* in the business world as they are, the farm situation distressing, every dollar o f business that can be held in Green* county should be kept here. The management o f the, Ohio State Highway Department under Gov, White is about on par with what Gov. Cooper gave the stateand which was repudiated at the polls two years ago retiring the Governor. The highway departmsnt is under a superintendent, appointed by the Governor. You irtiy disagree With a policy adopted, there may be unlike- business methods, there may be dis­ crimination in letting o f contracts, there may be wrong doing, The only remedy the public has is through the courts or at the polls on election day. The superintendent cannot be reached if he cannot be appealed too, so the next step is to reach the Governor o f the state, Whoever be.may be. That’s what happened to Governor Cooper. Condition* in the highway depart­ ment have merited vital criticism in the manner in which soma contracts have been awarded. The Herald Has written protests to the department but'the sterotyped replies offer no real explanation which is to be ex­ pected from a,public official. During the summer the Springfield and Clifton pike was improved, the stone being hauled from Melvin, 0 „ a distance o f 36 m ile s ,1wearing out roads that cost many thousand dollars a mile to construct. Much o f this stone was hauled over roads con­ structed years ago from Cedarville stone. . When the department came to, re­ surfacing the Cincinnati pike south o f Xenia, bids were received, Cedarville stone was low but to get around let­ ting such a contract in Greene County the bids were thrown out, specifica­ tion* changed, and the contract let on new bid* to outsiders at * higher price. Some weeks ago bid* were asked for resurfacing the Columbus pike be­ tween Xenia and Cedarville. Samples of^stone were sent in fo r test and ac­ cepted. One or more contractors bid on the job with Cedarville stone, which was low. The next thing was diverting the stone order to Melvin at a higher price. This added to Cost o f transportation fo r the 27 miles the stone was hauled. We have been unable to get satis­ factory reasons from the highway de­ partment fo r it* attitude. Such policy i* utter-waste o f automobile and g**- oli*e tax funds that pay the bill, A* long as the superintendent o f the highway, department is an ap­ pointed official, he cannot bo reached, but the Governor can be and we be­ lieve the voters in Greene county should give their support to David S. Ingalls fo r governor at the election Tuesday, November 8, The policy o f the department cannot ha commended , and Gov. White must c a n y the blame. Hundreds o f dollars o f labor have been lost to thia community and the county . hy the action o f the department at the ’ most critical time In the history o f j tlm country, ' ‘ 1
