THE TIE HACKER

While there are those proclaiming the generosity of the Federal in it's road building activities and contributing worthy audaton of the perfection of much of this work the fact should not be lost sight of that the humble tie hacker has than matched this recama tion of the wilderness by his contribution of roads, And for these he has not received penny of compensation save in what comes thru his margin of profit on the sale of his ties. Leave the travelled highways and follow tie-hack- CTS road to the very summit of the mbercad mountains and one begins to gain appreciation of the hercuean task facing the who turns to the forest for hs live hood There is not heavily mbered region which can- not be penetrated to mbene roads capable of ac conmodang tractor wagon.

some outstanding patriots to this
country, including Presidents Me-
Kinley. Theo. Roosevelt and a host
of others. Isn't patriotism taught
in the private schools? Remember
the old adage: "Just because a dog
is born in hen house he is not a
chicken" And l might add in clos
ing that the flood of personalities
appearing in both papers started
with the Herald, at least in this
election, when you started burles-
quing the Democratic meeting and
ridiculing personally people who
had important parts in the rallies,
g. g., ridiculing the quartet, insult
ing the country people who attend
ed the first few rallies, by such
phrases as "the Democrats will get
some rustic from the back country
precincts to stalk the boards at the
next rally."< Don't talk about Nc
Durbin carrying his paper on gen
tlemanly plane. You better carry
yours ION gentlemanly plane, ;"
for the Herald started this petty
child play, and everybody knows
this to be true. You admit that
you stopped to indulging in person
alities and said that eff Mr.. Durbin
edits his paper on. gentlemanly
plane, we will also, but we must
fight fire with fire. Oh, no that'a
falsehood! Two wrongs will never
make a right. | admit that the
Democrat has resorted to personali-
ties, but not until after the Herald
STARTED THE FIREWORKS.
Since Mr. Matson is so sincere and
solicitous for the welfare of the
country, / would suggest that out of
fair play that since he published the
picture of Roosevelt's mansion and
estate, with it's garages and SER
wants quarters, etc, that he now
publish the mansion of David S.
ingalls,, and his estate, with it's gar
ages, PRIVATE AIRPORT, servants
quarters, etc., etc. What cheap
political Republican trick!

L. j. McHugh, Peoples Candidate
For County Commissioner

1t is indeed gratifying to note
the strong support being accorded
T. J. McHugh, Of Stockport, Demo.
cratic nominee for County Commits
sioner. Mr. MeHugh has many at,
tributes that make him an ingincible
cand didate, among them a rugged
honesty and straightforwardness
that appeal in no uncertain sense to
the voters of both parties.
This outstanding candidate has
been a lifelong resident of Morgan
county, having been born and rear
ed here. His education was obtain
ed in the public schools, and
he started out to make his way
in the world when quite young. He
has been up against hard work ever
since. For a number of years past
and at the present time, he he's
gained wide experience in road con
struction and bridge building. the
knowledge of which line OF work
would be invaluable to him if elect
ed to serve as one of the next coun-
~ commissioners.
If successful in gaining place on
the next board, Mr.. McHugh pro
poses to work to the end Of econ
omy at all times, so that taxes III
the county can be kept down to the
lowest possible level. He would
prove a valuable man in he commits
sioners' office and should experience
little difficulty, in rolling up large
vote at the coming election, Noyem-
Der 8th. Mr. McHugh is not con-
trolled by outside Influences, but ii
elected would work conscientiousiy
and efficiently in the best interests
Of the people Of the county as a
whole, regardless of party affilia~
-ions. This point should be taken
nto consideration when the voters
1f both major parties go to the polls
his coming November. ~

Big Reds Continue
Winning Ways

Last Thursday the Big Reds en-
tertained an old athletic rival, New
Concord, on the local gridiron. Al
ter. a hard fought game, NJ. & NJ.
emerged victorious 90. The game
resolved itself into two duels-
punting and running. The Big Reds
held a big edge on the kicking. but
the running as far as first downs
and yardage were concerned, was
pretty close; New Concord couldn' {
make gains in the pinches, while NJ I.
& M. could. Neither team made any
headway during the first quarter,
During the second quarter, White
house unloosed 70 yard punt, and
Whitaker fell on the ball on the six
yard line. New Concord tried to
punt, but the center made a poor
pass, and the ball went into tne
end zone and out of bounds, scor-
ing safety. The half ended short
ly with NJ. &c NJ holding two
point advantage over the Black and
Magenta squad. In the third quar-
ter, New Concord worked down the
field to one the yard line, where the
stalwart line of the Big Reds held
firm. About that time Jupiter
Pluvius took hand in proceedings
and released some atmospheric pre-
cipitation upon the arena, and dis
persed the fans, but showed that M.
& M. could play football under any
conditions. Then M. & M. took the
ball on downs and fought their way
to about the Is yard line. White

Fred RadcIiR, Republican Nominee
For County Commissioner

FOf county COMMISSIONER
] The Importance of the office OF
! County Commissioner in any county
in the state, regardless of size, is OF
such Importance as to necessitate
the election of men of proven abil-
4 ity, unquestioned integrity and tire
! less energy. Fred Radcliff, Repub-
] lican nominee for the office, possess
/ es the above qualifications in a
| marked degree, and is surely en-
/ titled to second term in the office
to which he is aspiring at this time.
| Mr.. Radcliff is at present an in
cumbent in the commissioners Of
/ fee, and during his regime has made
an excellent record which is highly
approved by the great majority
of peop1e IN the ranks of both
major parties. A rousing vote is
assured him at the coming election,
November 8th..
1t was during his tenure Of Of
fee that the cost of operating the
commissioners office was substan-
TALLY reduced. When he and Mr..
oaltCl3 TIC OtuSI uOlh-
inee, took office four years ago, the
county Indebtedness was between
three and four hundred thousand
dollars. This has been reduced to
less than 100000, and at the end
of their term will, no doubt, be-
wiped out. This point is worthy OF
note in view of the fact that con-
siderable work has been done dur
ing the incumbent's term in office.
The debt levy outside the fifteen
mill limitation was reduced from
3h mills to one mill. Strictest
economy has been practiced in the
past and will be practiced in the fu- |
ture by Mr.. Radcliff, il elected for Q |
second term to this office which he
has SO ably filled during the past

Alonzo Hanson, Democratic Nomine

-SlOnZo Hanson. DeIloCfdsIc Nominee
For County Commissioner
From all over the county comes
word Of the strong support being
accorded Alonzo Hanson, of Me-
Connelsville, Democratic nominee
for County Commissioner. This is as
it should be, for it would be hard 20
find a man better qualified for this
nigh position of trust and respon-
sibility than he. Tn view of this
fact it might be we'll here to give
brief account of Mr.. Hanson's life
and activities.
For nearly third of a century
he has been a resident of Morgan
county and for twenty years of this
time he has been actively engaged
in business. Through fair, square
dealings he has developed large
trade and has made many warm
friends among his patrons He has
always taken more than the usua,
interest in public affairs. which Is
worthy Of note in view of the fact
that he has never held any county
office, but has served two terms as
township trustee. Aside from ODel-
ating feed business in McConnels-
Vile, Mr.. Hanson also conducts
farm in the county. He is intimate
ly familiar with the needs of the
farmers of the county, and is In
sympathy with their economical
problems. If he is so fortunate as
to be elected to serve as county
commissioner, he assures the people
of the county that he will always
advocate and work TO the end of
economy in the interest of lower
taxes. This popular candidate shouIf |
and will, no doubt, receive strong
support at the coming general cleo
ton. He is a farmer-business man
