to turn his succession over t, his depu-
ty. Further, in spite OF ali the bolster
ing and party aid the democrats have
constantly been disappointed in the in
fuence of his paper. which has never
been able to claim even half the circu
lation of the Zeitung.
Mr.. Pahl will make canvass of the
county asking his friends to support
him and he will doubtless receive
many votes fIom his friends who will
| feel that Mr.. Faul has been supported
long enough and who object to him az
q subservient tool OF the ring of Office
distributors.
For county recorder the republicans
have named splendid young man, q
product of the home life and schools OF
Crawford county. Mr.. NJ. L. Houlihan,
Jr., OF Charter Oak. Although of q
democratic family, Mr.. Houlihan exer-
cised his individual judgment and al
lied himself with the republican party
with his,frst VOTE He acted as dele
gateat the last republican state con
vention. He is q graduate OF the Den
icon college and has wide acquain-
anceship throughout the county. he
has had business experience both at
Denison and Charter Oak; is possessed
OF an upright. moral character. ability,
Integrity. .snd a 'frst-class education.
Mr.. Houlihan's Charter Oak friends
urged the nomination upon him and it
was only after much hesitancy that he
| decided to accept. Now that he is in
the contest he will strive to win and he
wishes his friends to understand that
he hopes to be elected and solicits
their support. The election of McKim
was q mistake acknowledged freely by
democrats and republicans alike and
there is no use in perpetuating it.. He
is wooden man. He has never done
anything for anyone but himself, eth
er in the party or out of it, and there
will be no regret ION the part of any
one-but himself-if he is defeated.
Mr.. Houlihan will run ahead of his
ticket in many townships. and we are
confident that he will receive the
united support of the republicans.
Il Democracy plans to center its fight
upon P. J.. Klinker, the republican
candidate for county attorney. He Is
Young: he is a German: he is republi-
cantor these reasons he is to be pun
ished. MIR. Klinker has made a good
record as county attorney. He has
been honest. straightforward and econ
omical in the discharge of his duties.
He has not encouraged contentious

! code. to satisfy personal feuds and
, grudges. 1t is true that the board.
wisely. employed what is considered
the best legal talent it could find to act
with Mr. Kinker in matters relative
to the new court house, but this would
have been done under the administra-
ton of any county attorney we have
had for dozen years and would be
continued were the democratic nomi-
nee elected. Nevertheless, MIR. T. link
er is to be assaulted on every hand even
though Mr.. OConnor. whose record as
q boiler, is very distasteful to many
democrats is to be the beneficiary. Mr..
klinker deserves and should receive
the votes of every republican. The
Bulletin had laid elaborate plans to
condole with Mr.. klinker and TO pat
fellow he was in case he was not re-
nominated. Now that he has been
without opposition it will reverse its
tactics and paint him in the darkest
colors. Mr.. Klinker is a German boy,
who has worked his own way, and he
has many friends in both parties who
will at the polls show their resentment
of the attacks made upon him.
A part of this venomous program
came to light when he was viciousy
abused by supervisor John Cook on
Friday, when Mr.. Klinker gave an
opinion to the board fav, rable to the
placing of the county funds in other
than the Denison banks. The attack
WAS SO vicious that it was resented by
the balance of the board even though
they are democrats.
We urge the republicans to stand by
Mr.. Klinker and not o give too ready
credence to democratic abuse to the
only republican county officer we have
save Uncle morris against whom the
democrats are already loading their
mud machines for the next campaign.
The republicans made another bril-,
liant nomination in that of Henry May
nard, of jackson township. Hank
/ MAYNARD is one of the best known and
most successful farmers OF the eastern
part of the county. His brother, James
