THE TREND

While many towns and cities last
fall elected Democratic Mayors that
had been in the control of the Re-
publicans, the administration lead
ers said the result was due to local
causes. However the same local
causes" brought the same results
from Maine to Utah Not long ago
various cities of Maine knocked out
their Republicans officials. In a
special congressional election held a
few weeks ago in Maine, while the
Republican candidate was success
full, his margin was so reduced over
the vote given when Harding was
elected, that if a general election
was held and the same ratio
of gain would exist over the
u. S. the Democrats would have car
ried many more than enough dis
tricts TO have gained control of con-
gress. Week before last Hartford,
Conn, overturned a machine that
had held the city for the Republi-
cans for the past 20 years, while
Kansas City, Mo-, in a straight party
fight elected a Democratic mayor by
$4,000 majority. The Republican
governor of the state went into the
fight with all the assistance that the
state and national machines could
give him, backed by a big majority

ALEXANDER FOR CONGRESS

While he has made no definite
announcement it seems to be well
understood that James r. Alexander
of GAINESVILLE will be the Democratic
nominee in this district for congress.
Present indications are that he Will
have no opposition for the nomina-
ton. He is man well known
throughout the district, and in Mr..
Alexander we would have real live
congressman-one who understands
and knows the needs of the people
of this district. He is we'll qualified
for the job; is well educated and
good business man. For number of
years he was owner and manager of
a paper at Woodsfeld, moving from
that place to GAINESVILLE where for
a number of years he was editor
and principal owner of the Zanes-
vile Signal. In the newspaper game
he was successful, and the type OF
man that he is was reflected in the
clean uplifting sort of paper that he
published-one that was always fit
for all the members of the family to
read. He is at present postmaster
at GAINESVILLE, and is classed as the
best P. M. that that city ever had.
He is also president of the Zanes-
vile Chamber of Commerce, and if
he has one single hobby that stands
out more prominently than others
il is good roads, and he has labored
INCREASINGLY to get Muskingum coun-
ty and vicinity out of the mud. He
is active in church and lodge work,
and is always to be found openly on
the moral side of every question.
He is a good speaker and presents
his ideas clearly and with ease.
Measure his marked ability and
qualifications with that of the Re-
publicans seeking the nomination,
c. Ellis Moore and p H. Tannehill.
Both are lawyers of very ordinary
type, and one would make as poor
a congressman as the other. Moore
while amiable is spineless. Tame
hill, is former resident of this
place having served as prosecuting &
attorney of the county in which ca
pacity he gave evidence of no bril-
liancy whatever, and he has shown
10 advancement since becoming a
resident of GAINESVILLE
This district needs a congressman
of the type and qualifications of
James R. Alexander.

Things Remembered by g. w. Huff
man Going on SO

When the old school house was
still standing, the first one built in
Marion township. When Daniel
Mott built the brick house where
Marion Smith lives. When Reuben
McVey built his cider mill and press
and we drank the cider out of
gourd. When Andy McVey and
John Daugherty had saw mills on
the run. When Henry Huffman
made mattocks, hoes and trace
chains and ironed wagons. The old
fashioned names that Robert New
berry used to make. When VIM.
Warner and VIM. Brown carried on
a cabinet shop and made coffins for
all that died. When Walter Hart
built his steam saw mill and Jesse
Lane ran it for him. When every
body made their own sugar in the
spring When most everybody rails
ed patch of fax and Jesse Hartley
dressed it for our mothers and sis
ters to spin on wheels made by Paul
Huff who ran his turning lathe with
an old fashioned tramp-wheel and
an old blind gray horse We can
see the chips fly yet, though it has
used the finest of the yarn for chain
that they wove into our linsey
clothes and the coarser they made
into bed cords and ropes on John
Biggam's rope machines. When the
mastodon bones and teeth were
found. Some of them are in a mus
cum at Columbus now. When Ike
Hopes shot the bear. When Levi
Kinsey shot the eagle. When
Nathel Baldwin shot the deer.
When the Goshen run school dis
trict was formed with 46 scholars.
Now there are only or of school

great reverse.
These results can be construed
people have had enough of Hard
ing's normalcy, and the swing is
plainly towards the Democrats.

tions, which are going from bad to
