SENATOR Hanna, on his depart
ure from Logan Friday, invited
Col. Sands to accompany him in
his private car to New Straits
vile. the next appointment. The
Senator wanted to talk over the
situation in Hooking county, and
Col. Sands reports pleasant in
terview enroute. Senator Hanna
and Col. Sands are great friends,
and in the rush in Logan they had
not met all day. On returning to
the depot Mr.. Hanna dispatched a
messenger requesting Col. Sands
to accompany him to Straitsville.
The Colonel felt pleasantly honor
ed by the request, and although in
i'll health he accepted the kind in
vitation.

In the Second-Fourth senatorial

charge of "DiclSie" Bowling Of Middle
town, whose word is law in the han
ding of the entire campaign Of the
district.
In the Twelfth senatorial district F.
e. Scobey has complete direction OF
the entire legislative campaign in
the counties comprising that dis
trict, the regular organization be-
ing expected to pick up the crumbs
that fall from his hands. This is par
ticularly true of Miami county. In
Dark county Orla Harrison, the NOM
inee for senator, operates under Sco-
bey and is assisted by Messrs Mark
with and HALEY, while in Shelby coun-
chief lieutenant.
In Auglaize county Jno. Sullivan,

Pike county and A. q. Blair in Adams.
In Clermont county Mr.. Hanna has
placed his affairs in charge of w. G..
Bishop, who holds clerkship in

seen why Chairman Dick and Senator

lures.

The RATES of taxation in state
and county are rapidly increasing
under republican management.
Our taxes this year are increased
materially over last year. Mr.,
Hanna in his speech recites that
the state debt is all wiped out in
Ohio |by republican administra-
tors. They have raised the taxes
so strongly that it was easy to
pay the Indebtedness and have
plenty of money left to pay big
prices for investigation of scan
dals in public institutions.

DAN Wright is one of Marion
Townships most careful and re-
sponsible citizens, He has never
shirked when there was duty
to perform to the best interest of
the county and his neighbors.
He is the farmers candidate for
Commissioner of Hooking county
and will receive the undivided
support. Give Dan Wright your
vote. He will serve you in office,

IT is certainly pleasing COM
pliment to Representative Ran

trict that his amendment demand
ing that every county should have

the Republican and Democratic
conventions and will be UNANIMOUSLY
carried. His amendment is on the
ballot under the Eagle and Roost-

THIS HAS been quiet campaign
and we earnestly believe it is a
foreboding that the republicans
are tired Of the boasted "stand
pat on good things" and will
give their party a rebuke that will
hold them for a while. The mines
in the Hooking valley have little
or no work, and it is all because
the coal trust, of which Myron
Herrick is director, is squeezing
the miners union to accepting a
lower scale or starve for next
spring.

THE John j. Lentz meeting Sat
urday night was certainly a grand
success. The opera house was
crowded with willing hearers and
n great deal of good was done to
the cause Of Democracy We
heard gentleman of the opposing
party say that in many years he
had not heard more able or a

him. Logan always welcomes

GROSVENOR PUSHES
The Federal Office Holders In Hock-
ing Must Come Forth Letter
from Grosvenor.
Athens, Ohio, Oct. 2s, 1908.

Athens, Ohio, Oct: 2S, 1903.
Dear Sir:
A report has been sent from Hook
Ing county to some of the leaders of
the party in the State, calculated to
do great damage to you and to all
the Federal Office holders in Hook.
ing county. What the purpose Of
the report ia I do not know, but it is
not hard to guess. The following
Is an extract from the letter. "That
not Federal or State office holder
in the county has either contributed
to the Committee or called at the
Committee Headquarters"
do not believe this story, but l
do believe that an organized effort
is being made to Law the foundation
for the removal of every Federal
office holder in the county and to
substitute men of their own party.
I write to ask you to tarn out and
do unusull service for the whole
ticket. 1t is duty that we owe and it
ought to be pleasant one. do
not know that we are bound to call
at the Committee headquarters at
Logan, should have gone there
long ago, but l was told that the
Committee voted that I should not
come to Hooking county at all. But
I have done everything in my power
to rally the men in Hooking County.
You will readily see how impor-
tant this is.
Yours truly.

the documents to show that he

EDITOR Chatfield was in Logan
Friday. He wanted to be on
hands if Hanna opened his barrel
here, as the barrel once open in
Logan, one hand would grab it all
and Chat would get none, unless
he was on the ground. Let us
give tip, Chat; listen Col. Sands

enroute to Straitsvslle. $500

Our republican brothers will
resort to all kinds of schemes to
fool the voters this fall. 1t is the
duty of every democrat to come
square up and vote his ticket.
The place to settle difficulties is
at the primary elections, We
have a good ticket. Excellent
from start to finish. Vote it all
and you will make no mistake.
To vote for the opposite is to give
them club to beat you over the

r ONLY HURTS THE
DEADHEADS.

Myron T. Herrlck, candidate
for governor, and director in
several Ohio railroads, said in
his speech at Mansfield, "The
average fare in Ohio is two
cents, now"
He was right. Public off,
cials and railroad owners ride
on passes for nothing; rich
men ride on mileage books for
two cents mile and COM
mon folks pay the full three
cents to make up the average
of what the railroads lost on
the auditors. etc.
The Democrats say, take the
passes away from the grafters
and let everybody pay two
cents straight. That makes an
even break for the railroads
and the railroad men.

promoter than a pror,~ tor. more for an expert than miner. WI at prospecting he felt inspired to do, he would perform lbv proxy. So he grubstaked the assl,iuous and husky Swede and the conscientious but unfortunate "o;d timer" Then he proceeded 10 illuminate the frosty horizon with the fam, of his genius.
 For il trifling outlay of cash, and a larger one of gall, he secured long options on tow to fair-grade propo- sitions, and then utilized a large chunk of his colossal nerve in re viving the dormant interest of the bond-clipping, trust-forming men of means in the effete east to the golden possibilities of the virgin North.
 By a strange perversion of the law of probabilities (according to the atmospheric vaporings of the croakers), all his schemes matured and bore fruit. Capital, like the doubting Missourian, only had to be shown to take hold. Where the gold was punched, capital gathered it in; where it was scattered, capi- tai swept it together with their ra- pacious hydraulics and greedy sluice boxes; and where it but fiirted witl, the prospector. capital wooed and won it.
 And even the assiduous Swede and the conscientious "old tiner' startled the apathy of the croakers with a new strike and another stampede.
 So the cool, dispassionate man, without touching plebian pick or slavish shovel, without hardships or discomforts, enriched himself and made others already rich, richer; all through the efforts of the psnu- rious but persevering prospcctor.

Another View of It.

DAWSON, Nov. 2S-Private corres- pOndence from New York and Coast capitalitalists reveals that a big race is on between heavy opposing concerns for control of the big cop per deposits in the White and Cop per river country.
 John Bolthoff, who has been ex- ploring the head of the White river two years, leaves to-day for Seattle and New York, to confer with the racing capitalists. Correspondence has come to his associates from the Copper Mines Company of New York, represented by Alfred Sully, of Broadway, and from Fred Now ell, the big Juneau operator, both asking urgently tos see Bolthoff. The first named company has an option to take up Bolthoff's proper ties Tor $Z0O,WU.
 NOwell states that he sent Henry BratnOber, the famous expert form erly with Rothschilds, on his expe- dition into Alaska this summer to see Bolthoff's properties. Sully writes that his company has had wonderful success in raising funds in New York for railroad to the Copper river copper fields, which is to be completed in two years. He also got charter to enter Daw- san, and also says that Congress- man Cushman, Andrew Burleigh and others at Valdez are making the fight in the United States court there to defend certain copper in terests of the company.
 Both letters are in possession of Thomas McGowan, the Northern Commercial company's legal ad- wiser, and acting American consul, representing BolthOff.
