Convict Road Work

Livingston county has arrang-
ed for 40 convicts from the
penitentiary to work on the rock
road between Chillicothe and
Breckenridge. The convicts
must be guarded, fed, clothed
and furnished all medical sup,
plies by the county from the day
they leave the pen.
1t is the first experiment o1
the kind so far from the capito
and the result is awaited with
much interest by a number o.
counties. Just when they will
be sent to Livingston has no
been determined.

A Wall or wish

while candidates are bobbing
up by threes and..fours forI Office
in this a strong Democratic coun-
ty, where a Democratic nomina-
ton is equivalent to electicn, in
the neighboring counties where
the two big parties have about
equal strength very few, Iif any,
have announced their.candidacy,
and the primary system is to
blame. When a fellow has to
make two races for one Office
and then stand a chance of be-
ing defeated, the man with limit
ed means does not feel like
throwing his hat in the ring, and
as a rule, in close counties and
states, under the primary system
the men with money or those
backed by capital get the nomi-
nations. Sumner Star.
Is this stand pat or progress
i've? Under the convention
system in any party, who get
the nominations? But in re-
publican strongholds, where
ever that may be now, has the
party ever been accused of
throwing down the bars? But
to date the Star has no reason
for complaining about Demo-
cratic primaries. Democratic
candidates have fallen into the
habit of announcing in the Star
and later on finding an opponent
belonging to some other party
heralded as the man for the Of
flee. Of course republicans
would like to see an independent
voting spirit spring up in Demo-
cratic localities but they have no
patience with it in republican
sections.
Under the circumstances the
Democratic party in this county
will hardly permit one repub-
lican or non-descript to have
more than one opponent from
the party. 1t would be a snap
for some progressive to sneak in
if such a foolish, unnecessary,
unpatriotic proceeding was SC
much as thot of.

One Consolidated School

Livingston county has one con-
solidated high school district.
This was voted last week when
the Bedford election formed a
consolidated district. Two other
elections held on similar propo-
sitions had resulted in the plans
being voted down. The con-
solidation of the Bedford dis
trict cost the district nothing as
Bedford already has a high
school and is entitled to $500
state aid. This idea does not
seem to be taking as we'll in
Livingston county as Charlton
county where are half a dozen
consolidated districts and there
is a loud clamoring for more.

BERLIN, Feb. 17.--The semi-offi- cial College Gazette publishes glow ing tribute to President Huerta as the man of the hour for Mexico in spe- cial article from it's correspondent at Vera Cruz. It says:
 "Huerta is, all in all, the man whom Mexico needs and must have if she is not to be swallowed up by the United States. Let us hope, therefore, that Huerta will sustain himself and things blood need be spilled on behalf of German interests"

 ID QUIT HIS JOB
American Syndicate Would Pay Pro- visionai President Million and
 Half to Quit.

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 17.-It is re ported here that the American syndi- l cate, owners of large mining inter ests in the northern section of Mex
 ico and also largely interested in the
 railroads Of the republic, today offered to Provisional President Huerta $1,- 500,O00 if he would quit as pres dent
 and place in his position some one
 satisfactory to President Wilson and
 whom the latter will be willing to recognize
 The syndicate are said to have be- l come desperate because of the heavy
 losses they have suffered by the re- bellion and are anxious to have the political unrest in Mexico settled so that business may be resumed and profits made on the large outlay of the syndicate.
 It is rumored that both the Ameri- can capitalists and the Pearson syn
 dicate are desirous to have peace es-
 tablished and that they have buried the hatchet and will work together
 with that end in view. Heretofore the Pearson syndicate have support ed Huerta with large sums of money
 and are believed to have secured the
 backing of the European powers and
 the recognition from England and
 G rmany and Spain of the defacto ent dictator
