SIXTY-SECOND YEAR NO. 41 CEDARVILLE, OHIO, FR IDAY , SEPTEMBER .8,1939 PRICE, $1.50 A YE A R NEWSLETTER FROMSTATE DEPARTMENTS The address, “ Ohio Election Sys­ tem," delivered by Secretary o f State Earl Griffith before the National Association- o f Secretaries o f State at the annual convention held at Con­ cord,. New Hampshire, has drawn wide discussion and much national press comment, mostly referring’; to Ohio’s election system as being the most up-to-date and most satisfactory o f any o f the states. There have been many requests for copies Y>f the new Ohio Election Law and . many Secre­ taries o f State have declared their in­ tention of using the Ohio law a s ' a model in submitting election law ja- mendments to their various state legislatures. Secretary ’ Griffith was named a member o f a special com­ mittee on Uniform Election Pro­ cedure. The National Association of Secretaries o f State is affiliated with the National Council o f State Govern­ ment. When it was brought to his atten­ tion that persons claiming to have "influence” with the State Highway Department are soliciting firms doing business with the state, State Director Beightler released a statement saying: “ All such claims are fraudulent and are made in an effort to get money under false pretenses. There are no "fixers” for the Highway Depart­ ment. The appointment of former Ad­ jutant General Frank D. Henderson to be Warden o f the Ohio Penitentiary ' brings to that difficult position a man with a good public record, and one who has had long experience in the Ohio National Guard, with -active service on the Mexican Border and in the World -War as a major and lieutenant colonel. He served eight years as Ohio’s Adjutant General, under Governors Donahey and White, both Democrats, and .his appointment removes 'the Penitentiary from the political foot-ball division for the first .time in the history o f the institution. 1 COURT NEWS I 5 X TlllllllHIIUIIIIIIIIIIM imillltlllllltimillM KIIlHIIIIIIUIIIMIIHIM DIVORCE SUITS Divorce, on grounds o f cruelty and non-support, and restoration to her maiden name o f Hunter are sought in a suit filed in common pleas court by Camilla Harris, minor, by her next friend, C.

Expected To Name New Board The new legislation providing for a new Wilberforce board o f trustees is now effective and Gov. Bricker is ex­ pected to name the new board in a few day's. The governor will appoint six new members, instead o f five as formerly, and the A . M. E. Church' three members. President D. O. Walker, an ex officio member o f the board. Many members o f the institution alumni desire a return to the. old system o f at least two or three mem­ bers o f the board white citizens chosen independent o f the church. The claim is that during the days o f Dr. W. .A. Galloway, Chase Stewart, attorney, arid other whites, the uni­ versity never, knew church faction troubles and it was in that period the school made* its greatest gain. " ^ The Governor has not intimated what his policy will be. * ' The university has two divisions, the collegiate department under con- , trol exclusively o f the A . M. E. Church, and the Normal and In­ dustrial, supported financially by the state. It is the latter that will be under control o f tho_new hoard to be appointed by Gov. Bricker. The recent suit against the univers­ ity, along with the indebtedness often mentioned, concerns the church di­ vision o f the school, and not the Normal and Industrial division.
