the voters of the state seem to like
the rugged honesty of such men as
Senator Frank B. Willis and Gov
ernor Vic Donahey, and as long as
they want to devote their energies to
public life, they will be mighty hard
to defeat. And it doesn't make much
difference on what ticket they run.
They are voted for personally and
not because of their political al
lance.
Just how much damage has been
done to Ohio farmers by the recent
heavy rains is hard to estimate. The
state department of agriculture has
started survey to find out, but it
will be some time before data is
available. 1t is certain that thou
sands of acres of corn which has
been planted will have to be replant-
ed; the seed rotted in the ground
during the excessive rainy weather
of the past several weeks. All fruit
is being delayed as well as farm
plowing and other work Not more
than one-half the potato crop has
been planted in central Ohio at least.
Other years most of the planting is
completed at this late date. The
demand already for farm help is in
excess of the supply and with few
weeks good weather this demand is
bound to increase that the farmer
may get his crops in with the least
possible delay.
Washington, politically speaking,
seems all stirred up and excited
about Roy Haynes, former Hillsboro
resident, who is trying to get long
er lease on the job of prohibition
commissioner. No one in Ohio
with the exception of a few, seems
interested in the fate of Haynes, who
was practically unknown in politics
until he received the Washington ap-
pointment several years ago. Most
Ohio politicians in the past have TAX
en- positions which were available,
and held on to them as long as they
could and surrendered with good
grace and thankful for the good
time they had during their official
career. Haynes is due to lose his job
in Washington, and may try for the
nomination for governor
next year. 1t is reasonably certain |
