Senate but has the opposi­ tion, o f Federal Administrator Paul V. McNutt. Strange to say, he is being supported Jby Senator Vic Dona- bey whoi said in a statement issued October 30th, “ Congress* can’t be a court and hear all claims o f this, kind.’' Senator Robert Taft'stated, “Ohio is entitled to this grant and we will press the bill with all the vigor at our command..

Cedarville village jm d township- a long with the county joined in the heaping avalanche o f public opinion as expressed at the polls which swept fhe two Bigelow amendments down by a vote o f three to one or more. The sentiment was so strong against thbse two proposals- that the “No’’ votes predominated and wiped out the state school board plan as well as the civil service referendum. The Bigelow campaign was without question the hardest founght issue that ever went onto a ballot in Ohio, Outside o f some union labor support with Socialist and Communist vote Bigelow had the united opposition o f every worthwhile organization-in Ohio from the church o f Catholic, Pro­ testant. and Jews to the farm, profes­ sional and business interests. Bigelow, admitted defeat o f his two plans soon after the vote was first announced but-repeated what he had said in his Springfield and Cleveland speeches that he'would bring similar proposals before the electors again next year but to provide higher tax rates as a penalty for defeating this issue this year. For fo rty years he has preached single tax on land and the general opinion has been that he' was more interested in success o f his tax plan than securing pensions, when it was1admitted that the'plan would not provide sufficient funds to give the amount promised. . Locally, there was a good vote -as well as in the county. The only village contest was between Marshall McLean and Wm. Marshall, the former win­ ning by five votes. There was only one name oh the ballot for village mayor, Arthur Evans who received! 231 votes while tbo name o f S, C. Wright was written in by 93 voter*. For board o f education there were four candidates fo r two places and in some o f this precincts the tabulated votes showed all candidate* running close. The successful candidates were John W. Collins and John A . Davis. The former is reflected and the'latter will take the place o f B. E. Mc­ Farland, who retires at the end o f the year. The vote on the Bigelow amend­ ments showed the issue snowed under in the four local precincts, The school* tax levy, carried by a larger vote which was pleasing to school patrons. For Board o f *Public Affairs Amos Frame and J. E. Confarr were re­ elected and : the name* o f Marion Hughes- Written*in. The latter was not a candidate. There are three members o f the. board and ldr. Bughes- is the third, member, 1 On County Board o f Education ' there was no opposition to O. A .
