have the public believe, and an

ton has been offered in the Legisla-
turo abolishing the new system

cumulative system that it increases
the expenses of elections, facilitates
cheating in counting, gives greater
power to tho caucus by enabling
combinations to be formed for Sc
curing the control of elections, and
that under certain circumstances it
might be so managed as to leave

Filthy BLACKBOARD.

We propose to treat the cam
didates on the opposition county
ticket as respectable gentlemen.
because a few of their
fellow Republicans have placed
them in nomination, it does not
follow that we have undivided
liberty to gather up low, vulgar
terms to apply when speaking
of them /; and most certainly
we have no disposition to do SO.
Far from it! Common decency,
self-respect, neighborly feeling
and manly motives ought to
prompt the mulish creature who
has control of the opposition
organ-although that control is
against the wishes of nine
tenths of that party in the
county, because he is naturally
despised-to adopt the same
rule; but he seems to lack the
amenities of a gentleman in ev-
cry respect. The creature can
not do otherwise than abuse OF
grossly misrepresent somebody.
1t is in the low brute and it
must come out; and if he can't
throw it in the face of a Demo-
GRAFT, he will sling it into the
face of friend. Now, it is we'll
known by the voters in the coun-
that the Democratic County
Ticket is composed of gentle
men who are favorably known
for honor, integrity and sobriety.
From top to bottom no fault can
be urged against a single man.
Yet the sneaking creature goes
to the cess-pool, drags out from
the mire of filthy epithets, all
sorts of terms and applies them
to candidates on our ticket
old citizens Of this county. 1t
is humiliating in the extreme
to know that without the slight
est cause or reason respectable
men are to be thus treated.
Shame on such a creature
And shame to men who will
thus indulge in it and endorse
if.

Go to the polls and vote very

Gen. Cary at Zaleski.

On last Thursday night the
school house at Zaleski was filled
with an attentive audience, COM
posed mostly of working men, to
hear Gen. S. f. CARY, who opened
the campaign in Madison township
with one of the ablest speeches ever
made by this gifted and talented
orator. The meeting was called to
order by SOLOMON SHIPLEY, one of
the Advisory Committee Of that
township, and upon whose motion
ORvILLE CUNNING was called to the
chair. Gen. CARY spoke two and
a half hours in his usual forcible
style, and was attentively listened
to throughout. His arguments and
exposures of the corruption, eXtrav-
egance and theiving Of the present
administration were unanswerable
and elected frequent outbursts OF
applause. All those who were
present were supplied with food
for reflection. We are sorry that
every working man and farmer in
this county did not hear the
speech.

Harrison lyle and William w,
Bedford.


The opposition organ ofthis com
munity tits circulation in other
communities being quite small
lays great stress in its misreprescn-
tation and attacks on our candi-
dates for Representative, Harrison
Lyle, and Auditor, William w. Bel
ford; but these attacks and misrep-
reservations on the part of the or
gan aforesaid are prompted by per-
sonal and self-interested motives,
which are apparent to everybody.
The principal complaint against
Mr.. Lyle is that he is u hard-work-
ing man and attends to his own le-
Ultimate business, and does not 90
about abusing his neighbors, the
editor aforesaid organ being afraid
he will get the votes of some Re-
p~ublicans.
The complaint against Nh. Bel
ford is almost the same, except Mr..
Bedford is so unfortunate as not to
be proprietor of the Vinton R9eofd
establishment, and have the honor
Of publishing an advertisement,giv-
ing notice to contractors that bids
will be received for the erection Of
an Infirmary Building in Vintoh
county, and then in connection with.
the honor assume the impudence to
change the date in the advertise
ment, making q years difference
in the time Of the receiving Of the
bids,and then charging the county
q large price for the publication Of,
the notice. 1t stands to the credit
of our candidates to have friends in
the opposition. All that may be
said by the said Republican organ
will not make the slightest change.
We therefore urge every Demo
crat and every honest Republican
to work with perseverance and en-
ergy for the election of Mr.. Lyle,
Mr.. Bedford, and all others on our
ticket,and thereby give salary grab
bers and their tools to understand
that Vinton county will not endorse
corruption and dishonesty.

$1,294.50 Stolen.

The grave charges made against
Gen. MOVES by the Cincinnati En-
quirer, for illegally drawing money
from Hamilton county while Probate
Judge, stands uncontradicted. The
Enquirer gives day and date and
sums of the amount illegally taken
by MOVES at $1,294.50. The Moves
organs all over the State endorse
this steal of their master. Now, to
the voters of Vinton county we
would say: Do not vote for a man
on the MOVES State, District or
County Ticket, because all endorse
the steal, and would encourage
MOVES to steal more, should he be
reelected Governor, and have an
opportunity, just as GRANT and his
Congress did after he was re-elect-
ed last fall.

Tuesday, October IA.

The date at the head of this
article is election day-the day
on which the voters make
choice of a Governor, State Off
GERS, members of the Legisla-
ture, and a full county ticket.
We want to impress upon the
minds of every voter the i'm
portanCe of this election. A
vote for Hon. WILLIAM ALLEN
for Governor is a vote to con-
denim GRANTS approval of the
salary grab, his appointment to
high Offices of those who were
polluted with the Credit Mo-
bilier corruption. A vote for
HARRISON LYLE for Representa-
tive, and for GEORGE LANTz, for
State Senator, is a vote in favor
Of sending to the United States
Senate as pure and incorrupti-
BILE q statesman as JUDGE THUR
MAN.
1t is necessary for us to
speak specially of the individu-
al candidates on the county
ticket, as each candidate is
we'll and fayOrably known to the
people of Vinton county. We
are free to say that seldom
have we had an opportunity OF
recommending to the people of
B this county a ticket more wor-
thy Of their hearty support. 1t
can most truthfully be said Of
each and all that they are well
qualified for the duties of the
offices for which we have been
nominated respectively = all
men of experience, who will
look after the interests of the
taxpayers.

$%3OO,OOO,OOO.

While the Administration papers

ers Of the "bloody war;" of the old
wornouvstory of "rebel Democrats"
will they say something about the
$4,000, 900 taken from the Treasury
in the Salary Grab by a Republican
Congress, a Republican Senate and
a Republican President? Tell
them why the President pardoned
HODGE, who stole from the people
$450,O00. Tell them why it requires
100000, 600 to carry on the Gov
eminent now, when before the wal
it only required $7O,O00,0O0. Spell
it right out and let the people know
something about these evils. They
have had enough of bloody war;
and now want to put Il stop to this
bloody extravaganza" of the peo-
pies money. Remember what Gen.
Cary said in his speech at Zaleski,
last Thursday night, and vote all
these plunderers out of power.

Taxes in Ohio.

Under Republican rule, the
amount of taxes levied on the peo.
pie Of Ohio under State laws, is
nearly THREE FOLD what it was
when the Democrats held power in
the State. In other words, the
amount Of taxes now imposed, is
about $24,OOO,OO 900. In the last year
Of Democratic rule II was less than
$9,0O0,O0O. The Republican Legis-
latures have had power to stop this
heavy taxation, but instead Of do.
ing so, they have passed laws to
encourage it.

The latest returns from the
Maine election divide the new
House into l08 Republicans, 3S
Democrats, and 5 Independ-
ents. Last year the House was
divided in 1928 Republicans, 81
Democrats, and 2 Independ-
ents. Thus it will be seen that
the Democrats are gaining
ground even in that benighted,
pine-clad region.
