Of course the Republican party met in a large hotel that would accomodate hundreds of people. While the party is supposed to number into the thousands, the representatives present at that gathering would admit they were the party, spul and breeches, without modesty. I f there were any Republicans back home that had no invitation^ all that was expected of them was to take orders like good soldiers and leave selection o f candidates to the silk hat bosses. Leas than a year Republicans will be thinking of both presi­ dential and governotorial candidates. To save voters the trouble of having to think who should or should not be a can­ didate those who have designated themselves the Republican party will do all the thinking and planning. But from results we get of the Columbus gathering there was a' line of division in sentiment as to the. business of making nominations at this early date. Attorney General John Bricker aspires for the party nom­ ination on the Republican side/ He has not only made an im­ pression as to quality, personality and fitness for the honor but many members of the party not in the self appointed ranks have been much interested until the recent Columbus meeting. Now we hear o f criticism that is directed to Bricker himself, prob­ ably innocent, yet must stand for much that took place with the selfish bosses and a few boodlers expecting to profit from any success that would come his \way J?y nomination and election. Thousands of Clarence J. Brown’s friends are still insisting that he should again be a candidate. It might be said the Co­ lumbus meeting was stacked with as much anti-Brown senti­ ment as coqJdLbe mustered, but in all the deliberations the bosses were mdch concerned as to how Brown could be kept out of the picture. To this date the former candidate has made no announcement as to what he will do. I f he decides to enter he probably will not get down on his knees to ask Schorer, Pember­ ton & Co. whether he can enter the race. The Columbus meet­ ing also uncovered the fact that Hamilton, Cuyahoga and Franklin counties were not sold on Bricker- With these three Montgomery county could be added. Now we hear that former Senator Robert Taft, Cincinnati, may be drafted for the nomina­ tion representing the larger Counties in the race for governor. Mr. Bricker would not profit by such a movement and he may have already suffered by the folly of the sponsors of the ' recent Columbus meeting, In the language o f Deshler hotel gossip you must enlist the acquaintance of D. C. Pemberton, former Cincinnati liquor lobbyist, now utility lobbyist, before you can get an audience with the Attorney .General. The Pemberton connection with Bricker is said to have soured many at the recent gabfest. The oily lobbyist may be capitalizing his position at Bricker’s expense. On the Democratic side either Gov. Davey or former Lieutenant Governor Charles Sawyer will be the nominee. The large urban counties say Bricker cannot defeat Sawyer if he is nominated and this brings Taft into the discussion. Brown’s friends are sitting on the side lines awaiting developments. The double crossing Brown received at the last election at the hands of the Schorer-Pembci ton organization merits another trip be­ fore the electorate. Mr. Bricker might review political history made two years ago with profit. Ohio Republicans have for years nursed defeats on governor more often than celebrated victories. It has been no fault of the average rural county, Urban counties that want* to dominate usually turn tip the forty thousand majorities for the Democratic nominee* As political leaders dominating Re­ publican affairs are from the counties that harvest Democratic votes* it might this time .be well to take the voters in on the matter of making selections for all offices from governor down. Under our system of party management the foundation is with the central committeeman from each precinct. There was a day when Republican victory could be guaranteed but that was back in the period when a central* committeeman or all of the members in a single county were called together for con­ ference. Under the boss system of political management all the committeeman has to do is to get elected, on a five or ten dol­ lar contribution from a party boss* attend the organization meeting to select a chairman and go home. From that time on he has delegated all his authority to an executive and not often is this body called on for advice. The trend has been away from the central committeeman, who is supposed to know each Republican voter personally. It can truthfully be pointed out that the trend has been one of indifference on the part of the committeeman. Party management has found little or no place for the most important factor in party organization, the com­ mitteeman. ■ It has come to our attention that an important state Re­ publican who is and has not been satisfied with state manage­ ment che past few years, is now advocating a new test. He would like to back a candidate for governor that would openly ignore the state organization and make appeal for support di­ rectly through the local central committeeman in each precinct in the state. We would like to see the suggestion tried out. Three sons of the U. S, Dictator have much in common from the parental standpoint, ripping and romping everything and everybody. Having figured in motor car accidentain various Eastern cities, a pair of the boys last week tried to run over a railroad engine at a crossing. The locomotive stopped the presi­ dential offspring but not until the crossing gates were smashed. Carroll'Bincler Co. Xenia* Ohio. Jobbers of Petroleum Products TIRES and BATTERIES While the Ohio state government survey has been concerned in propos­ ing methods whereby there w ill be less spending o f public funds, and ob. taining more revenues, a report on the cost o f government, made public Mon­ day, .shows that while the population o f the state increased 20 per cent from 1920 to. 1934, total state dis­ bursements, fo r state government costs and money distributed to local governments mounted 372 per cent. Governor Davey asked State Direct­ or o f Education E. L . Bowsher to see i that temperance is taught in the public schools and educational in­ stitutions as required by law;- “ I re­ quest that this law be faithfully ob­ served," the governor wrote the di­ rector. “ While it is true that Ohio voted heavily fo r repeal, and the ma­ jority o f opinion is obviously in favor of legal liquor, it is still true that a very large per cent o f our people be­ lieve ardently in temperance," Government support must, inch ,-U, in emergencies, -be given to the destitute—community support or state support fa r better than support from a remote and centralized bureaucracy, but still*government support. But at the very heart o f any healthy condi­ tion o f society Is the deep-seated con­ viction in the minds o f the people, that the receiving o f such government sup is a thing to be avoided with might and main. ’ In the long run, such sup­ port means slavery. By forcing it upon us, in your system o f compul­ sory government •insurance you are making paupers o f our whole people. In the ^second place, your program is inimical to honesty. It has broken down the sanctity o f contracts public and private, and has encouraged the view that solemn obligations are to be kept only when those who enter into them find it convenient to keep them. honest bankruptcy, where the debtor fluidity acknowledges the debt but confesses himself unable to pay; but is rather a very ruthless application o f the principle that might makes right. In thus depriving our country o f it reputation fo r honesty, you have done it a far greater injury even than has been done by your reckless waste o f its material resources. The greatest injury o f all has been the moral injury done to the individual citizens. When dishonesty is officially declared to be the policy o f the gov­ ernment, when solemn contracts are officially declared to be mere scraps o f paper, the people w ill naturally be encouraged to think that an equal dis­ honesty is allowable also in private life. The great central objection, to your program, after all, is; the low moral plane upon which it stands. Simple honesty is at the basis o f everything else in the relations be­ tween man and man. J.

PO L IT ICAL PR IMER ! “ Daddy, why does ItaTy want to go to war with Ethiopia when Ethiopia does not want to go to war with Ita ly ’ ’" “ Well, Junior, Italy says there are several reasons. One is that Mus­ solini says there are too many people in Ita ly and he wants to send that nation’s" overflow population to settle in Ethiopia.” “ But, Daddy, is it Ethiopia's fau lt that Ita ly has too many people?” “ Not at all, my son. In fact, Mus­ solini offers prizes fo r large families, hut you soo ; . . ” “ But, Daddy, if the overflow Mus­ solini sends to Ethiopia' overflows there too, will Italy have to make war on some other country to proride room fo r that overflow?” “ Gp on with your supper, Junior. Now, as I was explaining to you, , another reason why Italy wants to conquer Ethiopia is that Ethiopia is a very backward land and Mussolini ‘ is so sorry about it# that he wishes to bring i t i ........... . mgs o f civilization” “ But, Daddy, how cap you civilize backward people i f you shoot them first?” “ Don’t neglect your potatoes, Junior.” * “ And Daddy, don't Ita ly and Ethiopia both belong to the League o f Nations?” { “ Yes, my son*” “ And Daddy, wasn’t the League created fo r the purpose o f trying to settle trouble between countries with­ out going to w ar?” “ Yes, Junior but—” “ And Daddy, i f one side is willing to let the League decide and .the other side is afraid to-—” “ Yes, Junior, that shows that the other side doubts the justice o f its case, “ Well then, Daddy—*” “ Junior, I think I hear your mother calling you.” — Christian Science Monitor. % The repudiation o f the debts o f the U, S. government which is involved in your monetary policy is not like an Although UffG,000,000 more bushels of oats were produced this year than last, in the United States, the crop o f 1*182,000,000 bushels is three per cent below average. Before the Ohio farmers' Union convention Congressman William Lemke o f North Dakota, a Republican, denounced the ,AAA , the national measures fo r the relief o f agriculture, as “ national lunacy” and “ Wallace dementia." Congressman Lemke was author, along with Senator Frazier o f his state, o f the Fra?’ ''’* Lemke bill, a measure impairing the obligation of farm mortgage contracts. The sui preme court nullied that measure, holding in polite terms that it was Lemke lunacy and Frazier dementia. A banker in Englewood, suburb of Chicago has an unusual institution. He is a very unusual character,1 He has wajnted to get out o f business fo r some time, in fact he has no desire to operate a bank under the New Deal. He has asked several thousand de­ positor by mail and advertisement to come and withdraw their money. The people having business with the bank are satisfied and want the institution continued. Not long’ ago this banker offered each depositor a gold fountain pen o f national make i f they would withdraw their accounts. The banker has never been in trouble and with­ stood all storms and never had to hit the RFC fo r one or. eighty million dollar loans. He refuses to take on ’ government insurance, for the reason j the bank owns enough government ■ bonds to cover all deposits. The government has been trying to force the management to take out insurance under threats. -The hanker says so ’ long as government bonds cover de-* posits the bank is liquid and should j not have to pay fo r insurance. The ; government is now on the spot. I f : it forces insurance it is admission' that government -bonds are not worth ! one hundred cents on the dollar. The banker is on the spot also. He wants to get out o f business and his deposit­ ors say—No. The depositors are standing with ‘the hanker and against t the government. A very unusual situation. The New Deal in Canada must have been a first class flop judging from the results o f the election in that country on Monday. The Con­ servatives administration was sold the Roosevelt plan o f prosperity by U< S. braintrusters and all sorts of crazy-quilt ideas were tried out that caused the spending o f millions of government money and more taxes to pay the bill. I t can be said to the credit of the administration that it tried to operate on a pay-as-you-go basis hut the people could not see government money thrown away on useless projects just to create “ pros­ perity.” The Conservative Premier Bennett and his administration were so badly beaten Monday by the. Liberal party that turned Conservative that results speak fo r themselves. Ca­ nadians have an abhorance o f Social­ ism and do not let Communism get far in that country. The plea o f share- the-wealth did not appeal either to electors in urban or rural electors. Roosevelt is not worrying as to who will pay the bill in this country as long as government bonds can be sold in billion lots. Pay-day will come later, probably after Roosevelt lias gone into retirement. » LIBERTY AND HONESTY Tank Deliveries to all Parts of the County Telephone 15 * The President, the White House, Washington, D. C. ! Sir: In replying to your letter of Sept. 24, addressed to me in company with other ministers, I am obliged to say very frankly that I am opposed to the social security legislation just enacted and to the other distinctive features o f your program. I am opposed to these things be­ cause they are* inimical (1 ) to liberty and (2) to honesty. In the first place, they are inimical to liberty. We are living in a time o f great distress. Instead o f simply relieving that distress, as humanity dictated, you have used the distress o f the people in order to sell them into slavery by placing them under & permanent system o f government supervision and control. j The true function o f government is quite different.
