At Meeting Last Night Organ
ization Was Informed That
SaIoonists Were Working
Against Lee Reynolds.
SAID HE COULD NOT BE
USED FOR THEIR INTEREST
Call Issued by Timothy NichoI-
son for All Voters to Go to
Polls and Defeat Element
Working Against Reynolds.

The City Civic league, of which lit
tie has been heard, of late. is once
again taking an active part in politics,
At a meeting last evening the league
decided to support the candidacy of
Lee Reynolds, who is running against
Walter S. Ratliff for representative.
Today the Palladium received the fol-
lowing self explanatory letter from
Timothy Nicholson, one Of the active
workers in the Civic League:
Editor of the Palladium:
AT 4 meeting of the City Civic
league last night We We're informed
that the saloon interests of Richmond
and Cambridge City had organized to
defeat Lee Reynolds nomination for
the legislature, one of the saloonists
having said we must defeat him as we
cannot use him or influence him, as
he is for local option
NOW any republican who desires
the welfare of our city, county and
state should resolve that the above
class, which includes gamblers and
other disreputable people, shall fail in
their effort to defeat Lee Reynolds, by
discnarging their duty and privilege
by going to their voting places next
Monday and working for their de-
feat
Republicans should also endeavor
to prevent democrats from voting and
thereby vitiating the nomination. Do
not forget the last nomination for
mayor, when more democrats than re-
publicans voted for the nominee. It
will be safe to vote for any candidate
whom these saloon interests are op-
posing.
Respectfully

This Morning Clifton w. Mer-
riII Was Sworn and Gave
Bond But Taggart Would
Not Accept Him.
GX-CITY CLERK MAY BE
FORCED TO DELIVER KEYS
Prosecutor Jessup Will Take
Steps to Retire Him Imme-
diateIy by Filing Quasi-CiviI
Proceedings.

Clifton w. Merrill this morning
gave bond and was sworn in as city
clerk by Judge W. c. Converse in the
city court. Notwithstanding the ac-
tion taken by Mr.. Merrill he has not
yet occupied the Office of the city
clerk for the reason that John f. Tag
gart refuses to acknowledge him as his
successor.
After Mr.. Merrill, whose bond of
$1,000 is endorsed by the American
Surety company had been sworn into
office as city clerk he went to the
clerks office and found Taggart in
possession. Merrill told him that he
had qualified for office and that he
had come to assume his duties. Mer-
Till then asked Taggart for the keys
of the office
Taggart promptly informed his sue
cessor that he would not give up his
office until Merrill's appointment was
confirmed by the city council. With
out the keys in his possession and
with Taggart acting as city clerk. MI
Merrill. in company with B. B. John
son, went to the office of Prosecutor
Jessup. The prosecutor states that
Taggart can be compelled to retire
from the office and he will take
steps to retire him promptly by filing
quasi-civil proceedings.
1t is the opinion of attorneys that
Merrill has perfect right, under his
appointment by the mayor. to qualify
and assume the duties of city clerk
until the next council meeting. If at
this time council refused to confirm
his appointment, which is improbable.
then Merrill would be obliged to re.
tire from office.

BACK STAMPS GOOD.
Asserted That They Are an Aid
To Business Men Who
Have Letters Delayed.
BUSINESS MEN INTERESTED

Local business men will be much in
terested in an agitation which has
been started by the first assistant
postmaster general to discontinue the
stamping on the back of letters the
time of receipt by the distributing
postoffice. He advocates the move as
an economy, saving thereby the salary
of a few clerks.
Postmaster Spekenhier of the local
postoffice disagrees with the first as
sistant postmaster general as to the
wisdom of such a course, he holding
that the stamp is almost of vital in
terest. With such a record as it es-
tablishes on the back of the letter as
to the time of its receipt by the post
office, it enables letters TO be traced
with more facility, and it has been the
means OF explaining many complaints
about delayed mails.

She Placed One of His Little
Tots in His Arms and Said:
MAY You Live Long to
Care for the Little One"
POINTED ULTlMATUM
GIVEN OUT TO SMELSER.
Prosecutor Gave Him Choice
OF Family or Penitentiary
And Man Accepted Former
is Under Bond.

You can take your choice-live
with and support your family or go TO
the penitentiary.'
This was the ultimatum handed to
Seth SmelSer, wife deserter, recently
returned to this city from Sidney, O.,
where he was arrested at the request
of the local police, when the man was
arraigned in the city court this morn
ing At his side sat Mrs. Smelser and
her mother. Each woman held one of
Smelsers little children.
When the prosecutor gave Smelser
his choice the man did not hesitate
long in making it. 'Ill go back with
my family and live with them," he
her head affectionately on his should
er. She was told by the prosecutor
that in case her husband ever abused
her or deserted her again to make
complaint and that no time would be
lost in placing him where the sun
shine would never touch him.
Smelser in giving his reason for de-
serting his wife and two little child
ren stated that his wife did not cook
for him when he was out of work.
This statement caused the little wo-
man to cast her only reproachful look
on her husband.
Smelser has been released from Gus
tody On his own recognizance in the
sum of $1,000. The charge of wife
desertion will not be dismissed. A
touching scene took place before
Smelser left the court room. His aged
mother-in-law walked up to him and
placed his youngest child in his arms.
Then she placed one hand on Smell
ser's head and the other on the child's
head. Il give you my blessing, sol
emnly stated the old woman. Seth
may you life long to care for this little
one and may the child live long to
bring blessing and comfort TO YOU

f|FTY-F|VE PUPILS

Yesterday afternoon at the gradual
school, fifty five pupils were given GER
tificates promoting them to the high
school. 1t was a large class and
one which had sustained a high stand
ard of scholarship throughout its
course at Garfield. The exercises
were not elaborate, but they were fit
tingly appropriate. The address was
delivered by DR.. D. w. Dennis of Earl
ham college. He spoke on the sub
ject, Does an Education Pay?" The
music was furnished by the Garfield
orchestra. Miss Carolyn Hutton rem

lied by forceful simplicity. He
pointed out that the period of child
hood has lengthened for the purpose
of allowing the greater preparation
which our age demands. The boy
who does not take advantage of that
fact cannot compete with the one who
does. AS an Illustration he cited
Englands loss of prestige as manu-
featuring nation, to the United States,
due to the policy of England to train
her mechanics exclusively in the shop.
In the United States they are given a
technical education and then placed
in the shop and factory.
Following Dr. Dennis, Prof. n. c.,
Heironimus presented the certificates
to the class, In doing so he pointed
out that those who have criticized the
discontinuance of granting diplomas,
have done so through mistaken no.
tiOn of the purposes of Garfield. 1t
is part of the secondary educational
system of the city, and its course is
completed in the high school For
that reason the authorities thought
fitting that certificates, not diplomas,
be given those finishing the SA work.
