ENDORSES MIR. REINLEIN.
The Ohio Farmer Pays Him q Meritet
Commitment

The Ohio Farmer Pays Him Merited
Compliment
The Ohio Farmer, an agricultural
journal that is always alert in the inter
est of the class it represents, in its issue
of September Z, speaks editorially as fol.
lows:
"Citizens of Ohio will be called upon
within few days to indicate their pref.
erence for members of the Legislature
1t is an important duty to perform, and
we hope every reader of The Ohio Farm.
eI will not neglect it. Turn out to the
primaries, ard have voice in selecting
the men that are to make laws under
which you must live. 1t is to be pre-
sumed that you have taken interest
enough in public affairs to be posted
upon the general record Of your Repre-
sentatives last winter, so that if any of
them are candidates for reelection, you
know whether to support them or not.
You want men to represent you who are
honest, whose characters are above re-
proach, who are firm in their views, and
who will vote right no matter who votes
wrong. = In June last we gave a
partial list of Representatives in the last
Legislature who had made good records
and deserved to be returned. Among
these were Southland, Harlan, Ganyxrd.
Hale, Haynes, Ely, Dunn, Mcconnell.
Hays, Adams. Holcomb, Fisher (Preble),
Heinlein, Haskell, Workman, Welsh, Ak
line, Britain, Martin, Boxwell, Clapp,
Kean, Taylor Crawford, ,Flumerfelt, Ny
ers, Fisher BROWN Haas, Aldrich, Lam
bright, Blackburn, Olmstead, and Pax
ton.
"These are men who voted right on
most questions. There are others also,
but We cannot mention all Part of these
are Republicans and part Democrats. SO
that it is not partisan for The Ohio Farm
er to recommend these men for reelec-
tion wherever they are candidates this
fall. We want good, honest, square, in
corruptible men nominated by both par
ties in every district and county, and
then we shally not worry about the elec-
tion."
A part of the above is written with
reference to the primaries. but it applies
with greater force to the election. The
Ohio Farmer is non partisan, but it be-
lieves in giving credit where credit is due.
1t speaks knowingly, and whenit endorses
the course of Hon. j. c. Heinlein it does
SO because it has Investigated his record
and finds it worthy of endorsement. No
higher compliment could be paid Mr..
Heinlein than the above. Every farmer
in the county would but consult his own
interest in following the advice Of The
Farmer, and casting his ballot for Mr..
HeinIein, the Republican candidate for
Representative.

Good Roads.

The question of good roads should be
continually agitated, especially by farm
ers, until we can claim to have as good
roads as France, which has the best high.
ways in the world. They were originally
constructed at an average cost of $1,000
a mile, but now require only 81 per mile
annually for repairs. In that country
heavy wagons are required by law to
have tires from three to ten inches wide
which aid in making the roadbed smooth
instead of cutting it into ruts.-Sprit oi
