To the Editor of the Age-Herald: In your edition of the 18th, under the caption of Interest is Sold in Iron Com pany," you misstate certain items about me which have a tendency to misead, and would like you to state in your paper that I did not decline to mention the amount received for the stock. l was not asked to do SO Second, did not state I was eminently satisfied with the price received. I did say l would sooner have the money than the stock. l am not the principal stockholder In the new hotel building, which may be built somewhere if the press can be induced to ''cut it out of their news" for while Yours truly.
 W. H. WOODWARD. slightly republican, will not be able to foster undesirable legislation on the peo- pie.
 Judge Dempsey.
 Tn Judge Edward Dempsey the city of Cincinnati will find a model mayor, one who is fearless and not afraid to do his duty Judge Dempsey will be the first democratic chief executive of Cincinnati since the days of Tafel. Though Tafel was a democrat, he was elected on fu- sion ticket. He will not be discussed from a Cincinnati standpoint. The effects of his administration are well known to the peo- pie there I believe Judge Dempsey will give the city an excellent, clean and hon est administration
 VIII Handle Millions. "The amount of money that l will han de during the year will be about s6,o0O,0O0, and the law at present states that the money must be kept In the vault in the office of the county treasurer, l propose 1 to go before the legislature when that body meets and have the law amended believe that the money should be placed in good, responsible banking in- stitutions, and that whatever interest is secured should be placed to the credit of the county. Of course. to guard against | failures I think that each bank that l handles the funds should be made to give an indemnity bond At present If a treas- urer desires he could place the money in banks and draw the interest himself, as 1t is known when examinations are go- l ing to be made of the vault and books. | This being true, what is to prevent an interruptions man from going to the banks and drawing the money until the exami- nations are made, and then again de- posting 1t. I propose to conduct the of flee on a strict business principle. and think I will be able to show a clear record with an administration that has been beneficial to the county when my term expires
 "A thing that aided me greatly in my successful campaign was the letters writ | ten by my friends to their friends in Gin cinnati, asking that they vote for me. In 1 this manner I secured at least one thou sand votes. I am thankful to friends in Birmingham, Pensacola. Savannah, Att lanta, Mobile and other places for their l kindness"
 1 The man who helped crush George B. Cox and his crew in Hamilton county. im- presses one with his candor and straight forward statements. He Is modest and Is great lover of home and children. To look at him no one would think that 1 they stood in the presence of man who believes that business men should offer themselves upon the political altar as sacrifice if necessary in order to att l tain good government. One would not take him to be one who helped down a great political boss. But such man Is Charles E. Roth in the estimation of his friends who predict that he will be called to higher honors in Ohio before he leaves the political arena.
 MT. Roth, his wife and two sons are are guests of MT. and Mrs. R. s. Allen at Elyton while in the city. Mir. Allen states that he will present Mir. Roth to the members of the Southern club at a
