The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1903-08-20

Anti-Sands.
In Green Township First Pre-
cinct, Sands wins with his man
Roby without opposition. In Sc
cond Precinct, Pension Examiner
DIR. Wood of Sands crowd wins
without opposition. In third pre-
cinct another Roby had hot con-
test with Miller, running with
eight to the good. He is Sands
man.
In Starr township, first precinct
Ed. Kelly the stalwart anti-Sands
giant of Union Furnace, won easy
by an average of to / against
Woodard, one of the strongest men
in the precinct. Ed. is very proud
of the nice vote he got and well
may be. In second precinct, Hi
Brown the White faction secretary,
had warm fight with Jones, and
was defeated by seven votes, the
White faction claiming that many
Democrats voted. That was hard
luck for the White-Ambrose fac
tion to lose Hi Brown. In the
third precinct, as we have stated
Saner was elected Independent and
as near as can be ascertained be-
longs to no faction, though both
claim to own him. He will get
government position from Sands
or a state inspectorship from
White, if he wants it.
In Washington township. Thrush
for White-Ambrose run against
Hoskins, of the Sands-McKay
faction. Hoskins won by a few
votes, but the friends of Thrush
are making big kick. They say
that Billy Souders did not give
them fair count. That he let
nobody look at the ballots but
himself, and then declared result.
and stuffed the tickets down in his
pocket, refusing to permit Thrush
to see them. Thrush is canvasing
all the voters, will ascertain how
they voted and contest the election
if the canvas is favorable. Surely
Billy Souders would not resort to
fraud to carry his precinct. We
understand the matter will have
an airing before the next grand
jury.
In Marion township, L. B. Brown
defeated Chairman Frazure of the
Sands faction by 1 vote. This
was bard blow to the Sands
crowd. The Whites reelected
their Chairman Ambrose but the
Sands chairman is defeated.
In Goodhope, as we before said,
TroXel was elected without oppo-
sition. The Sands gang have been
very sore at him recently for per-
mitting his family to start the new
paper, but they will sugar him up
now with more post-office talk.
Sands claims to own him and
make him dance to any tune he
wants to.
In Laurel township VIM. Moore
was re-eleceed without opposition.
He is fighter in the White-Am-
brose ranks.
In Perry first and second, and
in Saltcreek, Polling, Ricketts, and
Swackhamer were elected respec-
lively without much opposition.
They are for Sands.
In Benton Clarence Stone defeat
ed lido Hamilton. That was an
open and shut factional fight and
Stone with the White Ambrose
crowd, was the winner.
In Ward Murray, Willard Huls
for White, defeated Van Sickle.
In Ward Jobs, McManaway, Anti
Sands, defeated Billy-Goat Evans,
as John White calls him. In Ward
Coal Gate, Loosh Hull Anti-Sands,
defeated Conrad, after all the
dirty fight Chatfield made on him.
In Ward New Pittsburg, Zack
Brown for Sands, defeated Jesse
DeVore. In Ward Carbon, Ed.
Smith was elected without oppo-
sition for Sands, but he has not
received his commission as mine
inspector yet, and ten to one he
will not. In Ward Sand Run
Ed Kennedy easily won for the
