Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1932-09-22

ducked when Moore spoke. Moore
made the best address of the whole
"aggravation."

Chairman Rays speech sounded
as if it might have been prepared
for a congressman's maiden effort.
Some Of the literature printed at
the Herald office and distributed
advertising the meeting, did not
contain the name of C. Ellis Moore.

Chairman Ray did not take back
what he said in the primary as TO
why Moore should not be elected to
another term. The reasons evident
ly still hold good.

Some speakers pleaded for tOler-
ance and consideration of the feel
ings of those in public office. Did
Moore or any of the speakers have
any consideration or respect for
| Speaker Garner, whose mother at
the very time they were attacking
him was lying in her home, cold
in death?

After the manufactured enthus-
iasm of the bands; and the fact that
| the speakers had feasted on Demo
cratic roosters at the hotels and
restaurants, one would think that it
| would be an inspiration to crow.
But there was no crowing-the old
g. o. p. enthusiasm was lacking.
Democratic hard times were not
mentioned; neither was the full
dinner pail; Democratic soup
houses, Republican prosperity, etc.

ingalls, played bit of strategy
when he eluded Humphries, Matson,
ct al, when he landed above Malta.
Usually when carrying large sums
of money, it is we'll to be guarded
by the sheriff, or some other officer
of the law.
While much comedy was in evi-
dence, the most spectacular was
that by George Bender, candidate
for congressman-at-larg from
Cleveland. The fact that he was
from Cleveland where Maurice
Maschke, the Republican boss, con-
trolls politics., (and this notorious
boss has been indicted in connection
with the half million dollar treas
ury shortage in Cuyahoga county
his trial now in progress), and th1
fact that his crookedness was
brought to light under the Demo
cratic administration of the city o1
Cleveland, surely did prod the
speaker. He ranted about the stage
throwing his arms and fists like he
was giving an exhibition of fight
ing humble bees in a harvest field
1t was the worst attack he has had
since dry agents searched his resi-
dence a year or so ago, for booze,
which caused much comment"
throughout the state. We forgot to
mention that ingalls, left as soon as
he had completed his address. Had
he been present, Bender would not
have rayed as he did, since Boss
Maschke has been referred to as In
gals "godfather."

The attendance was about the
same as that at the Democratic raj
ly, which was put on without the
aid from men like ingalls,. The ac-
tual number of Morgan county vot-
ers present was not nearly SO many
as at the Democratic rally. The
crowd was made up largely of poll
ticians from all sections of the state,
and could we'll be termed a plum
seekers convention. In the aud
ience too were many Democrats,
who got a real kick out of listening
to Republicans trying to muster up
enthusiasm for their party which
has been in power during our worst
depression-with more suffering,
more unemployment, more business
and bank failures, more sheriff
sales, than ever before in the his
tory of this nation. They have
boastfully-in the past, claimed to
be the only party fit to rule-al-
ways taking credit for prosperity
but to take the blame for the de-
preston is swallowing a different
brand of pills-one that gripes and
sickens.

the fact that Cooper when he left
