The atmosphere is salubrious.

Near the grove Mountain Lake and

game closed 6 to In favor of

For Auditor.

If ever there was n man who
is deserving of recognition at the
hands of his party that man is
the Hon. Presley w. Morris, the
able, humorous, and satirical
editor of the Parkersburg State
Journal. Unlike the atter-day
Republicans who have gotten
control of the party organization,
Bro. Morris is Republican be-
cause he believes in the funda-
mental principles of Republican,
ism. He has always been in the
forefront of the battle welding
his trenchant editorial quill in
behalf of Republicanism while
many of the men who are now ut
the head of the Republican ma
chine were holding public Office
under Democratic adminlstra-
ton. But as soon as the Re-
publican party got control of the
state they allied themselves with
the Republican party for no other
reason than they are set of
chronic ofiice-seekers. And to
the everlasting shame of the Re
publican party they were given
office while such men as the Hon.
Presley w. Morris were relegated
to the rear to make room for
the renegade Democrats, who
apostatcd for mess of pottage.
The name of Presley w. Morris
will add much weight to the
Scherr ticket amongst genuine
Republicans. If a Republican
must he elected auditor there is
no man whom THE ARGUS would
rather see elevated to the auditor
ship than Bro. Presley Morris.

The Swisher newspapers are
serving notice on all county and
district candidates that if they al
low their names to go on the
Scherr ticket they will receive no
support from the Swishcrites. IN
other words, it is warning that
if they recognize the ScLerr ticket
by placing their names on it the
Swisherites will vote against them.
This sounds very much like a
bluff, and if the candidates call it
the Swisherites will take their
medicine.

Editor Argus:
Your correspondent from Kahn

pretends to be out for Mr.. linn.
We are of the opinion he is some
"sorehead" who has lost his gtand.
ma and owing TO the sadness of his
heart has lost some of his reasoning
faculties. He claims a four horse
team was stuck fast in a mud hole
with 500 feet of lumber. We will
leave this 10 any one IN that section
as to the truth OF such a statement.
When Mr.. Zinn took charge Of

Ut the most destructive washouts
hat has ever visited this section,
something like fifteen or twenty
bridges washed out aud a large per
cent OF the roads made impossible.
There have been about one dozen
bridges built and replaced.
The roads that were made entire
ly impossible (unIess it might have
been for @ildeats) could only be
opened out by removing logs and
drifts and filling the gulIes with
stone and timber so travel could be
resumed. 1t must be remembered
that MIR. Knots was cast out on the
cry of "deb,." Mr.. linn having
this in view, has reduced cur debt
in spite of the wholesale destruction
OF roads and bridges. On May al,
1908, we were only in debt $f2o.7s.
We challenge any man under sim
liar circumstances to make a better
showing, as Reno will now soon be
in a condition to make her roads in
good shape and not be in debt I'm

In such case we would pity Nj.
