HARMON
FOR PRESIDENT IN 1872 GOOD
SELECTION.

Convention Hall Dayton, o.,
June es.-All roughness. Irregular
ties, protuberances and other signs
of independence in the Democratic
party we're crushed, aattened, razed,
smoothed out and polished by Gov.
Harmon's steam roller in the State
Democratic convention here today.
The governor was nominated for
the Presidency in 1919, according to
his own program and on platform
of his own making, in which nation
al issues were emphasized over those
merely relating to such triyialities
as Ohio State affairs.
The following resolution, present.
ed by the Committee on Resolutions,
was adopted by the convention, in
dorsing Gov. Harmon for the Presi-
dency in 1919:
I'VE invite the attention Of the
nation to Judson Harmon and the
work he is doing for Ohio. Two
years hence it will have been com
pleted, then We can spare him for
larger duties. He, believes that
guilt is personals acting on that
belief at home and would act upon
it in larger fields. A high sense Of
duty provides his only motives for
official actions, and his sense of JUS
tice alone compels judgment. Firm
ness and strength mark him the
man to supplant vacillation and
weakness. The nation needs a real
man, and the Ohio Democracy here
presents and indorses for the Presi-
dency in 1919 Judson Harmon. /"

HON. J. B. WILKINSON
WANTED BY THE DEMOCRATS OF THIS
DISTRICT FOR CONGRESS.

If Hon. John B. Wilkinson would
permit it the Democrats of this end
of the state would nominate him for
any Office that is to be filed at the
next election. So far the eminent
jurist has declined all proposals and
it is not likely that he can be induc-
ed to become a candidate.
Some of the leading Democrats of
Huntington planned to waylay
Judge Wilkinson there on his way
to his home from this city but he
heard of the dark plot and side
stepped the willy ones. Instead of
departing from Williamson at the
usual time Judge Wilkinson left here
or No. s, reaching Huntington and
taking a train for Logan before the
politicians were astir for the day.
For several weeks prominent Dem
ocrats have been booming Judge
Wilkinson for congress and their ef-
forts met with hearty response. The
only damper was the decIination of
the Judge to accept any political
honors.
The Democrats claim that the Lo-
gan jurist is the strongest man with
the people in this district, not even
excepting sueh popular men as Bill
Thompson, George l. Neil and Ram
kin Wiley. 1t is certain that no
man has as good friends in Mingo.
Some of the party leaders in the
judges senatorial district composed
of the counties of Kanawha, Boone
and Logan, have asked him to run
for the senate against Grant P. Hall,
but to no avail.AMingo Republican.

SEVERE STORM
SWEEPS OVER COUNTRY-MUGH DAM
AGE DONE ON THIRTEEN NILE CREEK.

Monday morning early witnessed
one of the most severe storms that
has occurred in this vicinity for some
time. The electrical display was
great, the tightening having struck
in several places, but no loss of life
is reported. The rain fall was con-
siderable and the ground was 50 tho.
roughly wet that it has practically ru-
ined the crops in some sections.
on THIRTEEN NILE CREEK.
The store room and stock owned
by Mr.. Knapp, at Rock Castle, was
washed away and all of his goods
were destroyed.
Two houses on the P. J. Stevens
farm were carried away with the en-
tire contents and Steven Bros, large
Touring mill, the old McDermitt Mill,
is gone and all the flour and grain it
contained. The new bridge, just
completed ut this place was also
sashed out.
Mrs Marth Huton's two story
dwelling with all contents, and one
corner Of No. $ bridge was torn off.
Mr.. Sam Stewarts store, stock and
household things were damaged by
the water getting up in on them; his
blacksmith shop and out buildings
was washed away.
E. Little, of Wolfe's Valley, lost
his kitchen and barn. Rifles Mill
with contents of wheat and -four and
all of his hogs, went out with the
water.
The county bridge at W. NJ.
Kimberling's, the wooden bridge at
Scott Smiths and the large iron
bridge at Poke Dunn's are all out.
| One dwelling house on H. c:
Sayre's place and the Mud Lick
bridge at Elwell was carried away By
the rise.
The crops throughout all this Sec
ton are practically ruined.
Mr.. Sam Stevens and folks did not
know of the storm until the rocking
of his house, which was aAoat, woke
them up. They cut hole in the
roof and neighbors took them off on
raft.

IN JACKSON COUNTY
a raft

According to meagre details which
have reached this city a terrible
cloudburst occurred Monday morning
about four o'clock near Ripley the
county seat of Jackson county. The
toll of lives lost is said to have been
two while great property loss was
sustained as result of the opening
wide of the heavens. Owing to the
telephone lines in that locality being
out of commission due to the storm
it has been impossible to get into
communication with Ripley or any
place in that vicinity.
It is reported, however, that one
house vas washed down Mil Creek
and the two persons who were in it
at the time were drowned. So far
as reported no other lives were lost.
Horses and cattle were swept away
by the terrible deluge fwater which
came without warning and left in its
wake, death, ruin and disaster. Mill
Creek in the course of very few
minutes it is said surpassed all pre-
vious stages and with great roar
swept down the peaceful valley ruin-
ing the promising crops and carrying
with it small barns aud outbuildings
not to speak of the one house and
many fences.

ARTHUR IRN|N'S EXPLANATION

New York, Oct 27-Ahthur Irwin,
who got his start on explaining defeats
In Kansas City several years ago when
he managed the R-lOse, has this dope
on the words series:
"The reason the Athletics won the
worlds series so easily is that they
outwitted the Cubs" said Irwin In
1909 the Cubs beat the Detroits be-
cause King killed the Tigers hit and
run game. He instructed his pitchers
TO waste balls SO that he could throw
out the base runners. who in that way
received no help from the batsmen.
The Athletics fooled King and the
Cubs by going back to first prin: iples.
They let the Chicago pitchers waste
balls without trying TO steal second,
and then getting the rubber men in the
hole they either resorted to the sacri-
flee or hit the ball out for all they
were worth. That is why the Cubs
pitchers were so ineffective King got
them in cnancery and when they were
compelled to put the ball over the
plate to escape giving passes the Ath-
ietics had no trouble IN making the
proper connections"
