Plugging Away Hard For His inter
ests-Mt. Vernon Aspirant Sets
Border Line Laughing over
His Campaign Tactics

Smacking strongly of the campaign
tactics of a certain Republican can
didate for county treasurer who, two
years ago, sent his nominating petit
tion to Butler and then wondered why
he heard nothing of it, and secondly,
of the methods used by another Re-
publican candidate for nomination
this year, who sent cards to labor
ing gang in Homer in the hopes that
he could gain their votes at the pri-
maries, the latest act of well-known
Republican candidate for sheriff, who
resides in this city, is causing no less
laughter than did those Of his illus
trious predecessors.
This candidate, who is exceedingly
vigorous and aggressive, in his meth
DDS and who is rated among Republi-
cans as probably their strongest hope,
has put in many of these nice after
moons trotting around through the
country, dishing out cards, kissing
babies, passing upon crops and doing
all such things which go to demon
strate his unqualified fitness for the
office to which he aspires.
One afternoon last week, he invad-
ed the Observation-Disclosures
section of the country and was meet
ing with such seeming success that
he thought he might as well convince
everybody in the entire vicinity of
his own, and nobody else's preemi-
nent qualifications for the office. He
grew rash, he grew bold and suddenly
found himself soliciting support from
a resident of Morrow county, who
had already been besieged by so
many candidates from his own local
ity that he was utterly astonished at
the energy of the Knox county man.
"Why, I can't vote for you," the
man said 81 live in Morrow county"
The jaw of the would-be-Republican
nominee-for-sheriff dropped four or
five inches and, realizing his mistake,
he muttered something and hastily
beat an inglorious retreat. The story
was too good to keep and the Morrow
county farmer, on the occasion of his
next visit to Mt. Vernon, unburdened
himself.
Republican candidates have now in
vaded Richland, Morrow and Licking
counties, and it is said that residents
Of Ashland, Holmes, Coshocton and
Delaware counties are greatly put out
over the lack of attention which has
been shown them.

ONE HUNDRED COMPANIES
SELLING INSURANCE HERE
Certificates Of Compliance Filed
While Agents Also Go On
Record

Their are over 100 insurance com
panies doing business, through their
agents, in Knox county. Among these
are included companies whose main
offices are in Canada, England and
Germany.
The law requires that each com
pany operating in county must file
a certificate of compliance. The small
sum Of ten cents covers the costs of
doing this, but when 1t is considered
that this must be done in the vast
majority of counties of the United
States of America, the total is more
or less appalling.
In addition, all agents must also go
on official record in the recorders Of
fee. On Friday, seventy agents com.
piled with the terms of the law.
There were rs certificates of COM
pliance filed Friday at the Office of
Recorder Rush by as many insurance
companies. These, with the certifi-
Gates filed a number Of weeks ago,
bring the total number of companies
above the century mark.

CARDINAL eIssoNs, BIRTHDAY

Baltimore, July 22-Many congra-
tulatory letters and kilograms were re-

there will be no formal observance of

standing custom his Eminence will
spend several weeks during the latter
part of the summer with friends on

called together Representatives Of
the counties of the district for tho
purpose of making any change

He was in competition with two
most excellent men, who were al
so seeking to have their candidacy
sanctioned. The vote given to
Carl Beebe was but two short Of
being a majority Of all votes cast
in Morrow eounty's democratic
primaries.

ic endorsement through the ex-

JOINT Will
IS FILED
Unusual Document Offered
For Probate
Second In The History OF
The Court
TeStatOfS BGqueath Entire
Estate To Children
Sarah Clark Named ExeCut-
fix OF Amos Clark
Other Notes From The County
Court House

The novel will of the late John II.
and Jane Hand has been offered for
probate and will be recorded on Mon
day next, says the Newark American
Tribune.
Deceased were prominent farming
people of st. Albans township and
their joint will is only the second one
ever offered in this county. The rec
ords of the supreme court of Ohio
show that there have been but two
of such wills ever before this court.
The other joint will on file in Lick
ing county is that of the late Sarah
and Jane Wilson, aged maiden ladies',
who lived and died in their ancestral
home in West Locust street.
These two testators, the Mr.. and
Mrs. Hand, were prosperous farming
people of near Alexandria. They
name their three children as equal
beneficiaries of their farm. One died
before the other, but the surviving
maker of the Joint will made no
change in the document.
Such wills are known under the
law by a variety of names. They are
called Joint" mutual" reciprocal" !"
"twin' or common" wills. To come
under the rules of law such will
must be made on the one sheet or
number of sheets of paper and must
be signed by both. In such will the
survivor of the two may make new
will which will set the other at
naught and will be taken as the in
dividual will of the party.
