who went to see it, and tortured
themselves listening to about two
hours of uninteresting statistics.
However there was one redeeming
feature, and that was that because
of lack of enthusiasm and applause.
many slept the tedious time away.
AS usual, county candidates were on
the stage and introduced, so that
those present could see for the most
part, who are on the Republican
ticket. However not all the candi
dates were staged and it will be
up to the voters to vote for some
"sight unseen"
Lack of interest is the only ex-
cuse for the small attendance, since

he requested that she not do so, and
told her he felt that he would have
good nights sleep. 1t had been
the custom of his granddaughte
to call about $50 every morning
for him, to take him to the Malta
school building. Finding the door
locked Tuesday morning, and sup

building, she drove up to it and dis

thing was wrong. She then with
her mother went to the residence,
and found Mr.. Taylor dead in bed

letter sent from Ft. Lauderdale,

Charles G. Mathews who left

Tampa, Fla, had very narrow e5-
cape from death. About So miles
south of Cincinnati near a hign
embankment, man apparently
drunk drove his car directly at
Charles truck, forcing him over the
bank. His truck turned over,
throwing him out, but he was NOT
injured, other than a few scratches
and bruises. The driver of the 9TH

layed all day making repairs, after
two wreckers got us back on the
road.
We are having very fine weather
here, and king fish are starting to
bite. That news will be appra-

women's Democratic Club Meets

The Women's Democratic Fed
Grated club of Morgan county held
its regular monthly meeting Mon
day evening, in the Maccabee hall,
with good attendance, the presi-
dent Mrs. Dove CASTOR presiding.
Outside of a number of campaign
songs sung by the ladies' chorus,
with Mrs. Lizzie Dover at the piano.
the meeting was non political, the
time being given over in part to an
explanation of the method of vot-
ing, which was presented by Chas.
A. Gaylord Mr.. Gaylord ably hau-
died the matter, and succeeded in
clearing up some of the bothersome
questions that confront many vot-
ers. However the principal part Of
his time was-devoted to discussion
of the three mill levy proposition
for school purposes, which the
speaker showed should by all means
carry. He pointed out that this is
not new proposition, but will be
continuation of the present three
mill levy which has been in force
for number of years Unless we
vote this levy, we will be depriving
ourselves of state aid, which
amounts to $4,000 annually, and
without which we could have but
about a half year of school, The
reduction in the tax valuation
means a loss in revenue to M. G. NJ,
of more than $4,000 over last year.
hence another reason for voting the
levy.
Richard Jones explained the cleo
toral college. While it is uniform
in all states, yet states have differ
ent methods as to how the electors
are chosen. In this state it is by
the state convention. One electOr is
chosen from each congressional dis
trict; one for each congressman at
large; and one for each U. S. SEN
ator; in all Ohio has 26 electors
this year, which is gain of two
over 1928. Mr.. Jones has the hon
or of being selected as the presi-
Dental elector from this congress
sional district. The electors of this
state meet on the second Monday in
January, in the secretary of states
office, and must secure their COM
mission from the governor. After
their votes are cast they are sent to
the United States senate, where |
they are opened and counted. Mr.. |
Jones brought out many interesting |
features in connection with his sub |
ject.
The meeting throughout was in
.eresting and instructive. The |
chairman announced that the date |
ixed for the annual get-together is
Monday evening, Dec. 5.
