Board of Supervisors.

The committees of the board are rap
idly finishing up their work in the hope
of adjourning tomorrow. Saturday
afternoon Olin Hoag, principal of the
New Lothrop schools was elected mem
Der of the county board of school exam
iners to succeed G. B. Jordan, who is
now a student at the University fitting
himself for higher educational work.
He was formerly principal of the Nor
rice schools.
The Soldiers Relief Commission re-
ported to the board that it had expend
ed $210. 10 for relief during the year and
had balance on hand of $1S1.51. The
committee of the board on this subject
examined the report, found it correct
and recommended that $500 be raised
this year for the INDECENT soldiers fund
that amount with the balance being
sufficient to take care of this fund for
three years and making it unnecessary
to raise tax each year.
Tuesday afternoon the board elected
j. A. Armstrong OF Owosso, to succeed
himself as superintendent of the poor
for term of three years; ]. H. Collins
Corunna, and G. S. Reed, Vernon, to
succeed themselves as members of the
county board of canvassers for two
years and DR.. I. w. Norris Jail physician
for one year to succeed himself. These
officers were chosen by unanimous votes
of the board. j. L. Huffman of Laings-
burg defeated A. l. Beard of Morrice,
for the democratic membership re-
quired by law on the board of canvas
sers by vote of Is to 6.
Wellington Duffey of Corunna, was
elected Janitor by vote of IA to Svotes
for G. A. Potter and one for each of two
others on the second ballot. On the
first ballot votes were given to eight of
the eleven applicants.

Franchise Granted.

The New Haven Coal Company has
been granted the use of some Owosso
streets for the construction and opera
tion of a railroad. The ordinance is
printed in full in another column. The
question of aiding the company to the
extent of $500 will not be put to
vote at the general election in November
as the time is too short but it may be
acted on by the voters later and will
probably be favorably considered If the
railroad runs to New Lothrop.

Easy sailing for swisher.

The following clipped from a late
issue of the Charleston Mail concise
ly reviews the situation as to Mr..
swisher's candidacy for the nomina-
ton for governor and contains Just
compliment:
Looking after business interests in
the lower end of the state, W. NJ.
Miller, travelling salesman and active
Republican worker, stopped in the
city a few hour yesterday, en- route
to his home in Parkersburg. Asked
about the political situation general
ly where he has been lately. he said
that everything was bright for the
Republicans and looked decidedly
swisheresque in all the counties he
has visited during the past few
months.
ut looks to me-" said Mr.. Miller,
that the genial secretary of state
has comparatively easy sailing. and
/ am pleased to note the fact. He is
a hustler and is Just such man as
we need in the executive Office"

Lining Tn for swisher.

From the following comment by
the Fairmont West virginlan it is
readily seen that that paper is lining
up strong for Charles w. swisher for
governor and intends to make its
usual hard and effective fight in his
behalf:
Three or four West Virginia news
papers, discussing the declination Of
Hon. C. w. Dillon to become a candi-
date for governor, express the belief
that between the three candidates
now in the field, Swisher has a de-
cfded advantage. VIII some kind
friend please explain wherein lies the
Observation-Disclosures Dispatch.
Has the Dispatch forgotten the
Swisher smile and the fact that he is
from Marion county? And then there
is the swisher luck that must not be
overlooked. All these things count
you know.-Fairmont West Virgin

Another SIlnttcred a..

It can always be depended upon
for the Democratic Idol to make a
break at the proper time that puts
him out Of business and skaters his
statue even to the foot OF the pedes-
tai, as II a bolt OF Lightning had run
down the spinal column. Governor
Johnson. the lately discovered man
OF the hour with Democracy is no
exception to the rule as shown by his
Henry G. Davis condemnation, and
now Democratic papers are taking
fali-out with him like they did with
William Jennings Bryan Just after he
made his famous return-from-abroad
speech in Madison Square Garden.
The Parkersburg Sentinel says of the
Johnson utteranee about Davis:
IF Governor Johnson. OF Mime
sofa. gave utterance to the language
attributed to him in an interview in
Fridays New York World, he has
added nothing to his prestige as a
prudent and impartial observer Of
men and events. The reference to
Hon. Henry C. Davis, OF this state.
was out of place and unbecoming, it
was irrelevant In its relation to any
subject under discussion. and could
have no bearing upon Governor
Johnson's presidential aspirations.
Besides 1t smacked of nttleness and
personal pique, two characteristics
of weakness in public character.
The. Clarksburg News lodges by
saying that IT was a fling at Bryan.
Other Democratic papers are expect
ed to proceed TO put the man of the
hour out of business.

The Senatorial Election.

The thirteenth senatorial district
will hold an election Saturday, jan
uary IL, to elect a senator to succeed
the late State Senator Talbot, who
died in Charleston at the last session
of the legislature. The one elected will
represent the district in the legisla=
ture until the next general election.
The following editorial by the Char
lesion NAH on the subject ought to
arouse every Republican in the dis
trict to the vital Importance OF going
to the polls and casting his ballot for
the Republican nominee:
THE Republicans have named DR..
George o. Brown, of Buckhannon,
who has had a wide experience in
state affairs and whose election
seems certain. The district is Re
publican and will remain so unless
too little interest is taken by the Re
publican voters. Where a single Of
fee is to be filled 1t often happens
that many do not take the time to
vote. The Republicans OF the
Thirteenth should turn out and not
take things for granted. It's danger
Gus sometimes"
An extra session OF the legislature
IS before the people OF the State and
important measures vital to the peo-
pie and the Republican party are to
be acted upon. This alone ought 70
be sufficient TO convince every Repub-
iican and believer in equal taxation
TO go to the polls and vote for DR..

the movement to tighten the burdens

MONDAY. JANUARY s. 1sOs.
Kentucky Justice.

After ten men had voted TO acquit
Caleb Powers. Judge Morris, the trial
Judge, refused to grant Powers bail,
and the most prosecuted man in the
criminal history OF the nation must
stand trial for the fifth time. unless
executive action can and win be
taken.
Possibly. to some extent Judge
Morris did not show so much hatred
as did the other trial judges, yet this
latest act on his part establishes the
fact that the trial might have been a
great deal fairer.
1t is but little wonder that indig-
nation runs high in Kentucky, little
wonder that there is talk OF swear
ing Judge Morris of the bench.
For nearly eight years this famous
prisoner has been behind prison bars,
kept there through political strategy
and court intrigue. Every time the
supreme court OF the state has dis
countenanced the acts of the inferior
courts and remanded the case, and,
yet Democratic machine influences
strive to send this man to the gal
lows, though the trials have disclos-
ed the fact that he is more than like
ly innocent OF the crime, with which
he is charged. So impassioned be-
came the people OF the Blue Grass
state over the persecution of this
man, that they repudiated the state
officials and leaders of the Demo-
cratic party and turned Democratic
state of thirty-fve thousand majority
over to the Republicans with a ma
jority OF fourteen thousand. This
sentiment alone ought to have been
sufficient to Judge Morris not to long
er hold out against the honest con-
yiction Of the people.
In addition to this the ten men
who voted TO acquit Powers have. en-
phasized his innocence by signing the
following request to Governor Will
son:
The undersigned atlantis state
they and each OF them served as jur-
ors on the trial of the commonwealth
OF Kentusky against Caleb Powers,
recently tried at a special term Of the
Scott circuit court, presided over by
Hon. James S. Morris, special Judge;
that after hearing the testimony in
troduCed by parties in said trial the
undersigned reached the conclusion.
and are OF the opinion and belief.
that James B. Howard. who has been
tried, convicted and now is under
sentence for alleged completely and
as one of the principals OF the crime
of murder for the killing OF Senator
WIN. Goebel. is entirely Innocent and
said Howard had nothing whatever
to do with the commission Of said
crime"
The request shows that these men,
not influenced by political passion or
influence, after deliberately and dis
passionately hearing the evidence in
the case, are convinced that there has
existed a plot to convict and punish
innocent men for political revenge
and effect; and they have not hesi-
tated to show the courage OF their
convictions.
Here We have man the jury be
lieves is innocent serving sentence in

racy OF this section OF the State does

plan is to bring out Tom Hodges Of

he asked for.
In accordance with his expressed
wish the Republican State Central
Committee at the Columbus meeting
last week readily assented to the pris
mary plan to sttle tn contest between
Taft and Foraker for ohio's endorse
ment. Foraker asked for primaries.
and the committee granted the re-
quest. Instead OF his accepting
them, he is inconsistent enough now
to object to them. Evidently, he has
awakened to the fact that the people
are not for him, and now clings to
the hope that by some intrigue or
Vaccination through the old conven-
ton plan he may be able to trample
under foot the wishes of the people.
On the other hand Taft and his
followers are satisfied to submit his
claims to the people for them to pass
on. Mr.. Taft's friends. as the Gin
clnnati Times-star says, have asked
only that the Republicans OF Ohio
be given an opportunity for a full
and free expression of opinion on
the Presidential matter. Confident
OF the support OF the rank and file
OF Ohio Republicans. they have never
asked for anything more than this;
and they surely could not reasonably
lie expected to ask for less.

1t Is generally understood hat the

dirigible. The first speed test, which
it is expected will take place this even
ing, will be over a curse about pa
miles in a westerly direction from Fort
Myer.
Captain Baldwin is satisfied that he
can make twenty-five miles an hour
under the conditions prescribed by the
signal corps. General Allen and the
scientists who have been watching the
Baldwin flights are Of the same opin-
ion. Colonel James Templer, former
chief of the ae%ronautical division of the
British army. said that he believed
Captain Baldwin's dirigible could make
twenty-five miles.
