pupils and the patrons to have the
children at home. If this measure
passes, it will not make our taxes
any heavier, since the same measure
has been in effect for the past five
years, but it will expire, if not again
allowed by vote of the people. If
this measure does not carry, you
will lose the amount raised by the

will also lose the state aid which

Fred Radcliff, Republican Nominee
For 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-
ity, unquestioned integrity and tire
less energy Fred Radcliff, Repub-
lican nominee for the office, possess
es the above qualifications in
marked degree, and is surely en-
titled to a 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 peopie 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..
Carter, the other Republican NOM
1nee, 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, If elected for a
second term to this office which he
has so ably filed during the past
four years.

Death OF Alice b. Embree

Short funeral services were held
| at the house Sunday, for Alice EN-
bree of Pennsville locality, whose
| death occurred at her home Friday.
| The body was then taken to An
tioch Church of Christ where pub
| lie services were held at 2 o'clock,
conducted by Elder Chas. H. NORM.
| Burial was made in the Westland
| cemetery. Music was furnished by
| quartet composed of Mr. and Mrs.
| Chester NORM and Dr. and Mrs.
Messrs. Howard, Carl, Edgar. Will
son and Albert Michener and Dem
mis- Hallowell, relatives of the de-
ceased, served as pail bearers. The
following obituary sketch was read
at the funeral:
Alice Beulah Embree, only daugh-
ter of Alphonso and Jane Michener
Embree, was born March 20, 1894,
and departed this life Oct. 21, 1882,
at the age Of 38 years, six months
and % days. She was of a family
of five children, two of whom pre-
ceded her in death-one brother
who died in infancy, and one broth
er, Charles, who passed away Dec.
20, 1918. She was also preceded in
death by her mother, who died
March %, 1881. Alice was born
and raised in the same neighbor-
hood in which she died. In 1914
she confessed her Savior and was
buried in baptism by Evangelist A.
E. Harper. She was faithful in at
tending worship and was ever ready
to help in the work of the Master.
Although for the past few years her
health had been poor, she was all
ways uncomplaining and cheerful.
There was no limit to her willing
ness to sacrifice for the comfort and
welfare of others. Being of a very
Industrious nature, she was always
happiest when attending to those
duties which made for the happiness
of those with whom she was sur
rounded. During her last illness
everything possible was done to re-
having failed, she at last answered
the great summons. Now we see
those hands that were always so
busy silently folded in death. No
more shall we hear cheering words
from those lips which have been
sealed until that Judgment day
when they shall awaken to greet
"good morning to those whom she
loved here upon earth. In her pass
ing she leaves her father and two
brothers, Harold and Raymond, of
the home; also a number of other
relatives and friends. Even though
she has gone from us, we take cour-
age in the thought that we can ore
day meet again in that land that
knows no parting

Fred McInturf, Republican Nominee
For State REPRESENTATIVE

Fred McInturf, of Chesterhill, Re
publican candidate for State Rep
resentative, is a man well met and
has been assured of strong support
from influential members of both
parties, at the coming general cleo
ton, November 8th. He was born
and reared in Morgan county, on a
farm; educated in the local publiz
schools, and began making his own
way in the world when quite a
young man. He operated a grist
mill for some time, and was man.
ager of the Chesterhill-Elliott
telephone company for number of
years. He has always interested
himself in public affairs, and served
with distinction as county commits
sioner of Morgan county.
In aspiring to the office of State
Representative, Mr.. McInturf has
no ulterior motives; his aim is to
serve all of the people to the best
of his ability and work to the end
of constructive legislation at all
times. Such man is needed in this
office at this time, and If elected
Mr.. McInturf can be depended upon
to work particularly hard in the in
terest of all the people of the coun-
ty.
A change is needed in this legis-
lative body, that will give all the
people representation. Distress, due
to unemployment, has reached stag
gering proportions. Demands made
on charity in the winter of 1931-'32,
while meeting with whole hearted
response, were greater than ever be-
fore in the history Of our state, and
the inadequate relief can only be
temporary and does not change the
unbearable and unnecessary condi-
tions which cause this suffering
Governmental expenditures, both
for the state and all its subdivisions
can and must be reduced. Favorit-
ism and all special privileges must
be abolished and we must return to
the old order Of equal rights for
all and special privileges for none."

III. F.. Carter, Republican Nominee
For County Commissioners

III. F. Carter, Republican Nominee
For County Commissioner
One of the most capable, con-
scientious and trustworthy men as
piring to public office at this time
is Harry F. Carter, Republican
nominee for County Commissioner.
Mr.. Carter is seeking a second
term strictly on his merits for the
office, and surely they are numer-
GUS enough to influence sound
thinking people. His record, as that
of Mr.. Radcliff's, is one of strictest
economy and saving. This policy
will be continued if Mr.. Carter is 50
fortunate as to be elected for Sec
ond term to this office which he is
in every way entitled to.
While this outstanding candidate
believes in good roads and public
improvements, yet he also believes
that the work should be accomplish
ed, at this time particularly at the
least expense to the public so that
taxes can be kept down to the low
est possible level. This he can he
depended upon to do, in so far as he
is concerned, if chosen for another
term In the commissioners office.
Mr.. Carter is a man well and ia
vorably known to people all over
the county. He was born and rear
ed here, educated in the local pub
lie schools, and engaged in farming
practically all his life. He served
On the township school board fo-
nine years, and as a member of the
fair board for Is years, being its
president for IL years. His record
of economy and efficiency in public
office commends him to the IA
vorable consideration of the voters
over the county, who will go to the
polls November 9Th to choose their
business managers of the county
for the next four years.

DiscIoses Ingalls, Record


To Lieutenant Governor William
G. Pickrel has been accorded the
distinction of having delivered the
first speech in the history of stat
campaigns in Ohio that ever made
Wall Street display a keen interest
His arraignment of David S. ingalls,
Republican candidate for governor
in an ddress that went behind the
scenes of the titanic struggle for fl
nancial supremacy between Sam In
sull and Cyrus Eaton, both of whom
came to grief, caused big easter,
market operators to send inquiries
to Ohio to obtain details.
Speaking to a Lima audience
Pickrel startled political observers
with such punches as these:
"The business record of D. 5
dollar Sign) ingalls,, as revealed
by his part in the conduct Of Con
tlnental Shares, Inc, a $114, ,000,-
600 corporation which crashed in
one of the largest disasters in the
financial history of Ohio, proves his
unfitness for the governorship.
Buyers of stock in this company
in. which Mr.. ingalls, was a director
were led to believe that he was a
capable, experienced business man
just as that argument is being ad-
vanced in this campaign.
The attention of the people of
Ohio is invited to the record of Mr..
ingalls, as director of this corpor-
alton which ended in a tragedy for
those who had invested their mon
ey.
Summing up study of business
experience taken directly from the
minutes of the directors of the cor
poration, from court proceedings
and from the report of a U. S. SEN
ate investigating committee, we
find:
That Continental Shares, Inc, a
stock trading corporation dominated
by Cyrus S. Eaton, of Cleveland
was organized in 1926, and Mr.. In.
gals became a director in it six
months later and served until De-
cember. 1880.
That suits are now pending
against Mr.. ingalls, and the other di-
rectors for the recovery of assets al
legged to have been misappropriated.
That the records show a series of
business transactions which indicate
Mr.. ingalls, had either little idea of
what was taking place or less con-
Germ as to what might happen to the
money of the stockholders.
That apparently Mr.. Ingalls,
business experience and judgment
were not sufficient to analyze and
to permit him to know the results
of the transactions.
That thousands of stockholders,
among them many Ohioans, invest
ed $114 100000 in the corporations
stock of which 2,149,000 common
shares were sold to the. public at
prices as high as $3.50 a share.
That for services in marketing
the stock, the brokerage firm Of
Otis e Co., of which Cyrus Eaton
was the dominating partner, receiv-
ed in excess of two and half mil
lion dollars and the stock is now
That while Mr., ingalls, was di-
rector the stock sold as high as
$3.50 a share, and when he resigned
as a director it was selling for a
few dollars share.

F. Howard Carroll. Democratic
Nominee for County Treasurer
One Of the best known and most
highly esteemed candidates that has
appeared before the voters Of this
county in recent years is f. Howard
Carroll, of Kennebec hill, Demo
cratic nominee for County Treasur-
er. People all over the county know
him as a man of character and
standing, one we'll qualified for the
office to which he aspires. He is a
self-made man In every sense of the
word, and knows real meaning OF
the word work What he lacks in
education he has made up for in
hard work and close application.
For the past several years he has
been a valued employe of a local

trious, enterprising, and above all
honest, and is just the man for the
he be so fortunate as to be elected
November 9Th, it is his intention I'd
devote his entire time and attention
to the duties of the office of Treas
urer, and see to it personally that
everyone having business at the Of
flee is treated with due courtesy
and consideration.
Mr.. Carroll has resided in the
county all of his life, being a mem
Der of an old Morgan county fam
lily. While he takes more than the
usual interest in public affairs, he
has never held a public Of
flee. At the present time he has the
backing of influential members in
both Republican and Democratic
ranks, who are bending every effort
to land him a winner He is the
right man for the right office, and
should receive strong support at the
approaching general election. 1t is
indeed credit to the county to find
men of this type aspiring to public
office-especially one so important
as that of County Treasurer.
