IT'S FUN TO sTRADDLE
And Now Comes Forth Charge Tha:
Saloon Licenses Are Being Used
To Obtain Votes-It Is
Denied OF Course

Columbus, Oct. 14-Attorney Gen
eral Turner probably will be asked to
investigate an alleged attempt of a
liquor license commissioner in the
western part Of the state to make a
saloonkeeper contribute toward the
Republican state campaign fund.
The prosecutor, a Republican, in
the county in which this is said to
have occurred, has shown no indica-
tion that he will probe the charges,
according to persons who yesterday
said they had reported the case to
the state liquor license board without
results. 2a
The charges they make substanti-
ate those of former Governor Cox,
that saloon licenses are being used
illegally to obtain votes.
It is charged that the license com
missioner in question solicited $500
from a man in his county who is now
running a saloon. He was told to re-
turn later and when he did, wit
nesses from behind a partition heard
him repeat his demands, 1t is said.
The saloonkeeper refused to cough"
and reported the facts to the prose
cutor, who as yet has done nothing.
Members of the state liquor license
board said yesterday that they had
investigated the charges and found
them without foundation.

MULHANE
Proves Very Interesting In
Newark Address
Spoken OF Highly In Newspaper Ac'
count OF Celebration OF DiscoV-
cry Day In Licking
County

Referring to an address made be-
fore Newark Knights of Columbus on
Thursday the occasion being Discov-
cry Day, the Newark American-Trib-
une has the following to say;
Rev. FIR. Mulhane delivered most
interesting address on the history of
America from the time of its discoy-
cry until the present. Rev, Mulhane
is a speaker of exceptional note, and
whenever he is on the program there
is always large crowd present to
listen. He came down from his city
Mt. Vernon, yesterday morning, ac-
companied by several people of his
church.

The road in question. however,
commonly known as the Martinsburg-
Utica pike, for which some grading
has been done, will not be of the
type specified in the above motion.
Water-bound macadam will be used
and a number of prominent residents
of Clay and Morgan townships are
justly angry.
The most interesting and, at the
same time, queer thing in connection
with all of this is little meeting
which was held after the above reso-
luton was passed and to which the
Democratic commissioner, John G..
Earlywine, was not invited when
Commissioners e. M. Ramey and Jo-
seph R. Wilson, candidates for re-
election on the Republican ticket, de-
cided that the road should be of the
water-bound type. Why was Com
missioner Earlywine not invited to
this meeting?
On April II, delegation of Clay
and Morgan townships residents ap-
peared before the county commission
ers at the court house and violently
protested against the using of any
binder except tar on the road.
At this time, Commissioner Early
wine said not word. He was not re-
sponsible for the change in binder,
the meeting to which he was not in
vited having determined that.
Commissioner Wilson also had lit
tie to say, leaving Commissioner
Ramey do most of the talking. The
ultimate result was that the residents
of the southern part of the county re-
turned home, still unsatisfied and
even more angry than when they had
come. tn
The defense of Commissioner Ra-
mey was that there were, not sufic-
lent funds to pave the entire 4.1S
miles withaa tar binder and that, in
order to get more distance, water
bound type must be used. This was
explained in detail TO the Clay and
Morgan men and was praised to the
skies as, an example Of business fore
sight and sensible dealing, but the
complainants couldn't see things that
way. ~.
They argued that, If the property
owners alongside the road were to
be assessed, the road should be first.
class in every respect and not of a
more or less inferior type OF con.
struction. They considered the road
of which they had dreamed for q
number of years and for which they
stood ready to produce their good
money, should be A No. in every
little respect.
Commissioner Earlywine just
chuckled up his sleeve. Thoroughly
innocent of any completely in ths 'ac
| ton changing the type of construc
tion he had a most enjoyable morn
ing, hearing the efforts of Commits
sioners Ramey and Wilson to explain
the matter and to mollify the com
plainants.
Possibly Commissioners Rame!
and Wilson believe they have please'
a majority of the residents of Cla!
and Morgan townships in their secre
changing of the type of road. Pos
sibly they have pleased many. But
they have alienated any number o
perfectly good votes by their action
and the question still looms up dark
Iy before them, why wasn't Com
missioner John C. Earlywine, Demo
crat, consulted?
