Franklin County and Judge swan

Some Republicans in Franklin County are dis.
posed to complain because Judge Swan was not
nominated for seat on the Supreme Bench
They Of course would not have consented to the
defeat of Mr.. Dennison or MIR. Stone In conven-
tion--their nomination was fixed fact We
know there are many good men in Franklin Coun-
ty--mauy Republicans who would be competent
to honorably fill any position on our state ticket
but unfortunately for them, there are also good
men and true in other parts of the State, and
therefore il was not deemed advisable by the
convention to give all the candidates to Frank
lin Co. If Judge Swan had never made decis'
ion in the Oberlin Rescue Case, no ought not to
have been nominated. But with that decision
hanging over his head in addition TO his residence
in county which has all that modest men could
ask, his nomination would have amounted to lit
tie less than an outrage uron the party. Let
there be no more croukug from Frankliu County
Republicans 1t is disgusting to outsiders.

The Cincinnati Gazette and the
School Commissioner.


The Cincinnati Gazsttci is disposed to find fault
with the Republicans for reneminating Rev. An
SOP Smyth for School Commissioner. For the
purpose of throwing little light on this subject
we will state few facts that may be news 10
many. Mr. Derby, book publisher residing in
Cincinnati, is supposed to own generous share
of Gassttc stock, and when Me- Smyth contract
ed for books TO be distributed to township school
libraries he found that he could save something
to The State by purchasing of the Appletous OF
New York City. This did not suit Mr. Derby,
and hence the Gazette commenced series of at
tacks, without any tangible Foundation for them
1t is unfortunate hat Mr. Derby didn't make S2O,-
900 or $4,000 out of the State through Mr.
Smyth, but it can't be helped now, and there is
no profit in crying over split milk
Qacry.-ls not this Mr.. Derby the same person
who at one time owned controlling interest in
the Ohio Statesman? And was that interest
not obtained for the purpose of swindling the
State through School Commissioner BarneyY
Opposition from such motives as control the
action of the Gazette in this matter will give Mr..
Smyth thousands Of votes from honest democrats

ma Democrat says /:

Ihe Ravenna DGmocrdt says.
On the night of the 4th OF June, 1917. frost
occurred which destroyed the fruit ami serious
ly damaged every description of growing crops.
On the 10th of May, 1882, there was SINH
lar frost, which destroyed the fruit, cut down
the wheat coop, sc. In that year, the wheat
growers of Stark county moved their wheat
fields, and cured the straw for iodder--aiter
which the wheat started ap again and produced
lair crop
On the 26th of May, 1915, there was heavy
frost in this region, which made similar havoc
with crops aud fruits, since which there has
beeen nothing like it till now.
1t would seem from the above record that
this frost blight occurs at regular intervals, on
an average, once in fifteen years.
