unfairness in Politics.

Gov. Hoch's Marion Record says;
The Record "butts in" on the state
senatorial contest at Clay Center to
the extent Of expressing the opinion
that the sort of fight that is being
made on F. L. Williams, one OF the
candidates for the Republican nomi-
nation, is nothing short Of an out
rage. We are not acquainted with
th y gentleman who is running against
him, but we have no doubt he is a
wArthy man and would make a good
Sc ator. At any rate we notice that
he is receiving fair treatment through
the papers and the sort Of tactics that
are brlg used against Mr.. Williams
are not oeing resorted to to defeat
him by the papers supporting Will
liams.
1t is the practice Of certain class
Of politicians in this state to make
Wholesale personal charges against
man who is a candidate for office
whom they can't use, and MI. VIII
liams seems to be getting generous
dose Of that kind of treatment. May
be Mr.. Williams should be defeated
by the other man. But II so, be
should be defeated in q fair decent
fight and on the ground that the other
man will make better representa-
tive and not by personal abuse which
every unprejudiced man who knows
him knows he does not deserve.

ANOTHER CUT
In Time Between This City and cIeve-
land Contemplated by W. &
L. e. Officials.

The operation OF the new schedule
on the Wheeling. which went into ef.
feet on April 8. has been so satisfac-
tory that officials of the road are con-
templating another cut In the running
time between Cleveland and Wheeling
which will save travellers between
Cleveland and this city 80 minutes.
The running time between Wheeling
and Cleveland Is now Ave hours and
was made possible by cutting down
the number OF stops. Il is thought
that II this practice Is carried further
a half hour can be saved between this
city and the lake city and It is said,
too. that the trains on the northern
end OF the division now do consider
able loafing.

The new schedule, according to a
report made, has resulted In a large
increase of business. The trains af-
fected have been on time without fail
and this fact, in connection with the
shorter running time and more trains
has SO improved the service that the
passenger business has been better
than for months,
1t is said that the proposed four and
one.half hour schedule would be pos.
slble while freight business is so slack
but there are some among the officials
OF the road who doubt the probability

came widely known as a capable and

one year past he has been employed

by his ever courteous and considerate
treatment of the patrons OF that line
has made a host of friends in the City
of Canton and won the highest CONF
mendation OF his employers for his
efficient service.
Mr.. Ream has always been an ar
dent supporter of Democratic prin-
ciples and in 1908 responded TO the
call of his party by accepting the
nomination for Infirmary Director
when there was no apparent pros
poets OF victory for his ticket. His
high standing with his party and with
the voters of the county In general
was attested TO. however. by his re-
ceiving the largest vote cast for amy
candidate ON the ticket. At a time
when clean business methods are so
much needed in the administration
OF the county's affairs and when the
good OF the county demands the eiec-
tion of honest and capable men to
public ONCE, his nomination would
mean almost an absolute certainty Of
election.
